    Future of D&D Subforum?

    Having a subforum dedicated to the topic might be looked upon by certain people (rightly or wrongly is besides the point) as tacit acceptance/approval by EN World of the idea that 4E is a failure, 5E is coming, etc. That is not to say that all people would think that. I think that it would only...

    4th edition: Not happy with the new direction.

    Why didn't you say that you were just looking for a perfect game with no errors or loopholes? Granted, that is not at all realistic unless you want the game to take about 10 years or so to come out and cost a crapton of money.

    Future of D&D Subforum?

    While it might be nice to have such a subforum, I fear that such a subforum would require a *significant* amount of attention by the mods. Despite the good intentions of a large number of people, I suspect that there would be an equally loud group of people who would use the presence of such a...

    4th edition: Not happy with the new direction.

    If you disconnect all of the fluff (and that includes whether it is a push, pull, etc) from the powers, then it *is* all the same. Roll d20, apply damage/effect. That being said, I don't think that complaining about the game by completely divorcing one part (fluff) from the other (mechanics) is...

    4th edition: Not happy with the new direction.

    Could you *please* not place your replies inside the quote, but break up the post that you are replying to? It makes replying to your posts much, much easier.

    4th edition: Not happy with the new direction.

    I am going to assume that he is talking about the Roll d20, add modifiers, apply damage and/or special effects base that at will/encounter/daily/utility powers have. Granted, that comes out of the whole d20 system that D&D uses as its base mechanic, and has used since 3.X.

    Comtemplating the Mearls articles - thinking out loud or 5E Design Ruminations?

    I also wonder how many people who are stating that the thinning down of the release schedule combined with the L&L articles mean 5E is coming out are the same people who complained that 4E was releasing too much too quickly and that the game would be better if they slowed down.

    WotCs early days, and saving D&D

    I wonder how much of the company size has to do with the ability of the company to quickly adjust to the market. A smaller company is, buy its very nature, able to adjust and change directions fairly quickly, something that is more difficult for a larger company.

    WotCs early days, and saving D&D

    Just a quick question that came into my head. Lisa Stevens left WW because of the way that it was structured, with two people at the top and no possibility for advancement beyond a certain point. Is Paizo structured the same way, owned by Lisastevens and Vic Wertz (sp??) (Note, this is based...

    Virtual Table...

    Yup. Still up, and they have removed the need to use passes to get into games.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    Ayup. I think that the way that WotC runs is is that they assume that if your subscription expires, it is because you forgot to renew it, and there is a couple of days grace period before you are removed from the group. (I suspect that it is a script set up to run a couple of times a week...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    Congrats to Paizo for their hard work. One question I have is the following - Paizo can quite easily get *their* numbers from their distributors, but how likely is it that they can also get the numbers from WotC?? Also, (so I lied about one question), what markets is she looking at? Is she...

    6/21 DDI update is live

    I haven't seen any indication of when (or if) they are planning to allow that. I have poked, but have gotten no response on this topic.

    The 6/21 DDI update is live. Here is what is included, as well as the reason why last months update didn't happen. Also note that the compendium will currently throw an error when you look at a ritual. This is a known bug and will be fixed in an update on 6/28 (next week.)
