Different target market back then than today, and nudity certainly didn't help the situation once crazy people brought about the big religious scare against D&D back in the '80s. And if you don't think that something like this could be a big deal today, well...look up Transmetal II...

Nudity in art has always been controversial, even back to ancient greece when they were painting up marble statues like cheap whores (yes, they did that). There is a difference between commercial art and fine art. The reason I said "No" before is straightforward: demographics. D&D has enough...

I'm fine with modular, and I want it to be LEGO modular. Yet one thing I am not sure about is if I would like a Basic game in the first 20-30ish pages of a Player's Handbook and the rest of the book being Unearthed Arcana.

Meh.

Something I could see happening with 5e is to have different styles of casting per class: The Wizard Vancian spellcasting returns for the bulk of the wizard's spells, with a handful of encounter-based spellcasting abilities. The Sorcerer 5e keeps 4e style spellcasting. The Psion Know what...

I'd like to see a Campaign Construction Kit. Basically, split the world building stuff from the DMG and then expand on it with dice roll charts for things like noble houses, types of government, and loads of pregenenerated background fluff that would make it quick and easy for those DMs who...

Um...no.

It's not about vitriolic "spiting," but I suppose any further attempt to explain myself is futile. *sigh* You know what? I'm just going to walk away from the keyboard for a bit before I start breaking forum rules towards a person or two.

It depends on what you mean by "videogamey." I had this argument here on Enworld several times after 4e's release. But, on what I would look at...I would look first at what good videogames do well. Then I would look at what they don't do well. Then I would look at whether or not what they do...

Back on topic... I usually do try to judge things based on their own merit. Usually, this leads to fun conversations with Fanboyz since the product in question is usually over-rated. They do not like it when I am able to apply constructive criticism to things they love. I don't hate...

Well, either this is a poor attempt at humor or someone is seeking to exasperate the situation. Still, though, the engament of the activity of spelling-nazi is a result of nerd-rage in and of itself. I do feel impuslivly irrational enough to point out that I have an egregiously high level of...

It's not even his fault. Usually it's a non-sequiter excuse to not like something. Tolkein isn't involved. Same thing has happened with Potter-nuts, Mac cultists, and pretty much anyone who doesn't stop nutting about Game of Thrones (I still refuse to read the books on the basis of how GoT...

You know what? Screw it. Whatever. Don't listen.

Meh, I'm fine with a 5 year cycle on the "game engine," but campaign settings? Maybe 10 years on that. I hope they give Forgotten Realms some time off and explore new (or previously unused) directions. EDIT: Found out my first hope was dashed. Thanks, fans of Forgotten Realms. I hope you get...

Let's find out... Abnormal Ammo? Check. (Pathfinder, Iron Kingdoms, even certain d20 Modern Suppliments) Accidental Aiming Skills? Check (can happen d20 crits on anything with 2 HD or less) AKA-47? Check (Iron Kingdoms) Ammunition Backpack? Check (you can put ammo in your backpack - or even a...

I suppose you're just very selective on what gun tropes you adhere to, then.

An abuse of reincarnation in my campaign setting would be difficult, as any type of resurrection requires a deal with the entity known as the Arbiter. He's less of a traditional D&D style deity (he doesn't grant any powers to worshipers) and more of a personification of fate and eternal...

Well, whoever has these expectations of "guns and realism" issue with the game, I've never met them. The advocacy for that in the arguments showing up in this thread is by proxy. The complaint about guns almost always comes back to "it doesn't fit my idea of high fantasy" not "it breaks my...

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT REALISM?! Realism has nothing to do with D&D, pathfinder, or most roleplaying games.

Might make an interesting mount, too. Maybe a little awkward to fire a bow from, but think of the jump attacks with a lance.
