Whohoo! We're #1! We're #1! :p McCoy: Lisa asking everyone to cool it helped a little. For a while Gary had to get involved and actually moderate a bit, locking threads, banning posters. In my mind, I don't think it really settled down much at all until the Pathfinder announcement, and there...

If you can provide better ones, in either direction, I invite you to do so. I admit the data is scant on each side of the issue here. While not in my best interest (which would be Paizo producing cool 4E stuff for me) I never said Paizo didn't act in their own best interest. The whole thing...

From my PoV, while they were "on the fence" so to speak, they seemed biased against the idea of switching editions from the start. I'm not saying they out and out trashed 4E; Paizo employees act pretty much as you'd expect, like professionals. Still, I got the sense early on they did not care...

Was Paizo the only one that saw this affect? They're the only one ever called out as having sales go up after the announcement, while besides here on ENWorld, I've heard the sales dried up line from Necromancer, Goodman, and several other 3PPs posting here. It seems to me Paizo is a special...

Note that it is an immediate action to activate the damage shield. I'm hoping this helps limit its usefulness. Also, AEs and simply getting away from the Swordmage seem like they may be good tactics. I'm slightly worried as well though ...

I don't live anywhere near DC, so I can't help you out specifically, but here are a few of the places I've played. Abandoned Warehouse (never found out whether someone in the group owned it or we were just borrowing it) Backroom of a bowling alley (pretty sure the owner was a relative of one...

Enough people have mentioned Rifts that I don't feel like piling on here but ... oh what the hell. Rifts. :P Also, Shadowrun. Maybe me and my friends were just a bit too young to grok the game (not the rules, mind, but the tone and idea) but it just turned into a bloodbath as insults escalated...

This. Listening to a podcast is intensely distracting to me. I either give all of my attention to it (which can be difficult since my eyes are otherwise disengaged and will likely seek stimulus) or have it run in the background and miss every other word. I'd like to listen to neat-o podcasts but...

Does anyone know of a manner in which a transcript of this can be found/created for those of us podcasturally challenged? Thanks! :)

I was dragged to A-Kon this year (an anime convention) by my wife; we had a lot of fun but that isn't the point here. I snagged quite a few free comics while there and read them on the ride back home. DnD ads were all over 'em ... I don't generally read comics anymore, but I was pretty...

I think Ki likely will end up being (as someone upthread cleverly put it) Power Source: Asian, and whichever book it shows up with will have a more Eastern flavor in general. I hope we don't see an Oriental Adventures style stand-alone book really ... I'd prefer it get wrapped into a PHB...

We're 3rd, getting close to 4th. Not quite done with KotS, although I think we're pretty far. We did have a wipe the first time we fought Irontooth, and (nearly) wiped when we fought him the second time, so that probably held us back just a tad. :)

Just a note to the OP, when I first read this thread I thought "oh hmm, I already know who sold those shirts, I read about it a while back ..." Only later did I click the link (principally out of boredom) to see what it was about. Maybe change the title to Dragon Roots did not sell the shirts...

As long as we're slinging anecdotes here, the only time I've ever kept any kind of information on my player character's stats was during a brief stretch of a 3E game I ran, where I tracked the one Elf's Spot score for when she walked by a secret door. Otherwise, I never kept any record of their...

Wow, that is squirelled away in a hard to find place! Good eye, and thanks!

From the info I know/have gathered, I think the primal classes will be: Druid Barbarian Shaman one other (T, I, or W) Arcane will have: Bard Sorcerer and Divine will have: one class (T, I, or W) and another class (T, I, or W) Illusionists are most likely Shadow sourced, and thus not...

My understanding is that this will have something to do with Spellscars. I'm thinking a feat which lets you trade out a power for access to a list of powers that no actual class can gain access to. Pretty interesting idea, really. I wonder if you have to take an initial multiclass feat that...

Bard, Druid, Barbarian, and Monk, albeit renamed to avoid violating any IP. No Sorcerer, but then 3E's Sorcerer only came about because of how Wizard's cast spells in the edition. In 4E Wizards cast differently, so how will Sorcerers work? No body knows. :confused:

Stream more or less covered my reasoning. Particularly relevant, I thought, was the whole "it's specifically listed as removing conditions and grappling is specifically listed as a condition". Thanks for giving me some points for both sides. :)

No, I went with 3.5 anyway, because I felt it made positive contributions to the system, and helped ease issues that had been building in 3.0. I feel quite different about Pathfinder, unfortunately, but again, I like 4E so I am probably not part of the target audience here. As other posters...
