Which points to the greater conspiracy, because to balance the scales they had to apply the term to items instead. "Does that mean I can only use that item when I get to lvl 10?" "Why did I get a lvl10 item when we are all at lvl11?" "Is that the lvl x or y version of Z?"

Eh... You do know that 5e was out for a long time without PDFs before any of those licenses existed? I mean clearly they are trying to take us for all we're worth, what with quickly putting out an SRD and a free digital version of the game. Anyways the nerd rage train you seem to be looking...

Well, yeah, obviously. But who are "They"? Seriously though, I hate keeping secrets, but not nearly enough to get my own subscription to Bookscan, it's crazy expensive.

It's starting to make me a little batty that nobody has put out real numbers by now. I had access to Bookscan (someone else's account) and explicitly promised not to share any info. It doesn't capture all sales by any means, especially for rpgs books, but it's solid stats to go with "rankings"...

How in the world could it be a "perfect example" when it doesn't: Say that their favorite edition could do anything 4e could do, OR Say that it makes their favorite edition better? It isn't a "perfect example" of something it clearly doesn't say. The post was reasonable whereas what you...

Once you gave it a "true try" sure, but sometimes people don't actually like a thing even after giving it the benefit of the doubt. It's no different than other games or music/TV/movies, fandom has this bad habit of assuming anyone who doesn't like a thing must have not given it a fair chance...

If that's how it went down, sure, that's not what happened though. They released products in April, May, and June: Heroes of Shadow (2011) in April, The Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond (2011) in May, and Monster Vault: Threats to Nentir Vale (2011) in June. So, one book per month (plus...

It wasn't that essentials bombed, it just failed to save 4e from it's decline. Pathfinder had already caught up to 4e and Wotc had fired the people responsible for the edition.

You don't even have to go outside this website; Top 5 RPGs Compiled Charts 2004-Present to see that Pathfinder tied with D&D back in 2010. By Q2 2011 it had lost it's top spot for good. Okay, you are missing the point completely. Simply stating which factors are important in determining...

It's easy (for me at least) to forget this, especially because a lot of 4e fans are big proponents of it, but the whole "Everybody is on the same AEDU" wasn't at all intentional. They tried a bunch of things that didn't work until Mearls came up with AEDU which worked, but they weren't really...

Nooo! This is the kind of reasonable post that got me to invest so much time and energy in 4e! Thankfully I am definitely older and hopefully wiser, at least in this very particular area, or maybe it's just that I have given my S.O permission to slap me if I ever try 4e again. I will try not to...

If I'm being generous I would say it's "funny" that for all the talk about how 4e had no association with WOW or similar games and anyone who says otherwise is must be an idiot or a horrible person, that almost all the comparisons I heard at the time were from people who liked WOW and 4e...

Never tried harder to like a game, for various reasons, but it's one of my least favorite ttrpgs at this point, for sure. They tried to make it "feel like D&D" but then made it more symmetrical, more grid-dependent, more formulaic ie; encounter building guidelines and skill challenges, and...

Crazy to see that PF2 shot up to 2nd place in Aug but was back below PF1 by Oct.

Sure, it's Mission: Fun and games in St. Albert Alberta. It's "local" in the Canadian prairie sense. I posted about their drive-thru here the other day. Game Distributors Closing Down; RPG Publishers Affected

Exemptions to the rule about group attacks includes government employees in certain areas, and support for the current US government is banned. I could be wrong, but I know when people have proposed extending a "politics free" period they were vehement about the fact that they wanted political...

I don't think that's quite a fair assessment of their site. They are proud of the discussion of politics on their site. Off the top of my head I can also think of outspokenly LGBT people who have been permabanned. It isn't so straightforward.

A FLGS of mine has an 80's van type vibe going on, maybe I could get the same artist and get it sponsored to grab some of that mad game store loot. :LOL: I do actually have a shag carpeted 80's van with a lifted roof, but don't worry we just use it for storage. Can't find a picture of it in all...

You probably have heard the most common reasons ie; if worn incorrectly masks can increase the spread of disease, concerns about lack of supply for healthcare workers, etc. The responses are certainly inconsistent but it isn't without reason entirely.

Not that it matters, but I didn't say that, quote misattributed somehow.
