Yes, they put them up on wednesdays.

You're sort of screwing yourself out of the exploding die that way, aren't you?

Almost always. The exceptions are things in rule-books like spell chapters and monster books, which I skim through and catch the highlights if they don't pertain to anything immediate I might need. This might be why my game reading queue is still so long! :p

I just wanted to give this a bump so it was above the old thread on the page. Carry on the good work, dm4hire!

Really nice art. I love the Oni, and I also like that the general style seems to have moved away from the manga influence they've had in earlier work.

This may be the first Boston Gameday that I want to play in literally every game on the list. Where is my cloning technology? Won't someone think of the gamers?!?!?!

My criticism that it doesn't do supers well comes from me playing in a great Necessary Evil game! It's honestly not that it's particularly bad at it, it's just that compared to M&M it's not nearly as good. This hasn't stopped our Necessary Evil game from being one of the best I've played...

I find this to be a foolish argument. They saw a creature that they thought had a mislabeled CR and they did what they thought needed to be done to fix it. That doesn't speak to some overarching conspiracy to pump up their organized play group or make the game more like 4e.

I'm having visions of an all-preschool supers group. :D

I feel starting SW characters are about on par with starting (non 4e) D&D characters: capable, but fragile. That's my baseline of normal, though. If you're used to something like M&M it's going to feel weak for sure. That's a good point. It might just be the GM styles. Our GMs usually give us...

That's solid advice, right there. Other than what I'm quoting, I agree with VGH. But...I feel like VGH is talking about a completely different game than what I've played: for us, Savage Worlds is all about swashbuckling / pulp action. I've seen a character stand toe-to-toe in melee with a...

Sorry to continue the derailment, but: So. Want. This. More on topic: I'm shocked that normal PDF sales are as low as 150! I really would have thought the market much larger.

You should start a poll on that! Personally, I would be surprised if the numbers that actually chose PDF over print would be high at all (although very possibly well over the percentage at rpg.net or WotC). Have you considered something like a decorative wire rack?? :devil:

I don't think that it's that you don't exist, it's that you are not a part of a statistically significant minority.

All books are better suited to hardcopy purchases. There's a reason PDFs haven't supplanted (or even dented) book sales: for all the convenience of pdfs, most people prefer real books. If someone prefers electronic, the only way to make them buy another format is to prohibitively price the...

If you have $10, you won't need to! :D

Allistair, no brick and mortar stare actually have claimed they're upset.

I really do think this is an amazingly smart move. They're giving out the PDFs for free to subscribers anyway, which means that free copes are going to be up on torrent sites lightning quick. There will be those that download it for free, but this way they can tap into those that are willing to...

Your argument? ;) More customers by far are going to want a real, hardcover book. I would think that if someone isn't going to shell out the cash for the hardcover book, they wouldn't have done so either with or without a pdf.

It's all anecdotal. Of the 19 people I game with regularly, 2 are in ongoing 4e games. Does that mean the conversion rate is only 10%?
