I think that the economic calculus on this decision is that releasing SCL on console will cost less than breaking a contract with both Sony and Microsoft at this point. And perhaps there's some consideration for "goodwill" and their reputation with both customers and distributors.

Rage of Demons eventually became a promised update for all PC owners of Sword Coast Legends. Unfortunately, RoD was already expected to be released by now. After delaying the release of Community Packet 3, n-Space promised that CP3 would be available after the release of the console versions and...

The developer of Sword Coast Legends, n-Space, is shutting its doors for good. Publisher Digital Expremes says "We are deeply saddened by the closing of n-Space. Staying alive as a mid-sized independent developer in the games industry is no small feat. Their passion for creating games never...

I don't disagree with you, but what I think you're missing is that I'm not saying that the existence of these mechanics are what is problematic. D&D, as a game in itself, is not hostile to indie games and different mechanics. That can't be said about many vocal parts of D&D's community, however...

True, I don't think coal rolling is going to discourage anyone from buying a fuel-efficient car. But I think the presence of a coal roller will make you feel unwelcome if you happen to drive a fuel-efficient vehicle or just care about the environment. Obviously, role-playing is more of a...

That's probably because 5e is the pendulum swinging the other way. D&D 4e tried to reach out by adopting concepts and mechanics from the rest of the hobby, but some people got very abrasive and concluded that the result "wasn't D&D." And that's me putting it politely. It's commonly echoed that...

When it comes to "liking the way things were" there are, of course, extremes. You may think people are being elitist for commenting on it, but there are definitely a very vocal constituency of role-players that can make non-f20 gaming seem very unwelcome to the hobby. The problems aren't really...

With 2d10 as a resolution mechanic, they need to be very careful about how their target numbers and modifiers scale.

I know it's still young, but there's a definite lack of reliable product information and consumer reporting so far. Like most voluntary customer rating systems, there's not going to be a lot of variance in most of the products. For a long time we can expect to see the majority of titles hover...

Looks like someone made a module for that: http://www.dmsguild.com/product/173703/Eyes-and-Experience

There is definitely a chance. Perhaps this was taken from a rough draft that the layout designer started working with weeks ago and was later updated. Then, for some reason, they pulled their promotional pages from that working copy rather than the final copy. There's also a very real chance...

If it's an oversight it's a consistent one. And considering they decided to share this page, it's an oversight that several staff had to make before it got this far. It's not your incompetence, so you don't have to defend it.

I don't see the feature as that powerful. I suspect the missing skill and tool proficiency is just WotC still not understanding their own game system.

It looks correct after a few spot-checks. I did mean to use the the greater-than/less-than sign, but when I copy and pasted it into here I guess it didn't take.

pemerton's walk-through of the binomial model is perfect. I just figured if you're not math inclined then a couple of simple tools would suffice. I've checked on Google spreadsheets, and they have the exact same syntax as Excel when it comes to binomial distributions...

I'm a statistician so I could just tell you the answer? But I think showing you how to get it might serve you better as a game designer. What you are attempting to do is just a series of binomials. Excel can actually do this for you quite easily...

After having its price permanently cut in half from $39.99 to $19.99, Sword Coast Legends is having another 50% off sale on Steam in honor of the Lunar New Year. So until February 12th, Sword Coast Legends is $9.99 on Steam. Here's a convenient link to the Sword Coast Legends Steam page. I was...
