Tjenare Marco :-) The ones i have are MetaBarons and Star Wars d6. Gondica as well, I believe. Always wanted to make a game based on the d6 system. /Maggan

The maps are indeed in the hardcover book. I like the thought of having them in front of me like this. The tables I can take or leave, the draw for me are the maps. /M

I'm very excited. I loved I6. I enjoyed I10. I became engrossed in the Ravenloft setting, although I never managed to get a game together. The feel, the atmosphere, the gothicness, everything appeals to me. So this will make me a WotC customer again. /M

I still love OotS, but the last story line has me itching for something to happen. Strange that, lots of stuff is happening, but I don't feel as if it is happening. For me it is standing still, gearing up for something to happen. I am sure this will play out differently when collected in a...

I've tried using it, but I find the interface too "life like", too much like a book and a book shelf. I would rather that it was designed more as a tablet application, I believe it would be more effective to use. Also, it won't display in portrait, only in landscape which make the interface...

I am able to log in. /M

Congratulations to all who won Gold or Silver, and also to those that were nominated. I am surprised WotC swept the awards, and that Paizo "only" won 3 silver awards. But I am sure next year will be more "even", without a major new edition setting its mark. Also hope for more small publishers...

I am torn. I just wrapped up an 87 session Kingmaker campaign, and feel burned out on Pathfinder and adventure paths. But, among the changes I made to Kingmaker was introducing more Lovecraftian elements, so this interested me. I will have a close look and maybe the spark has returned in a year.

I like that with Paizo. That and the superstar thing, which is a great way of vetting people while still keeping the fans in the loop. Paizo is the best at customer relations. I've seen them even being rather blunt with the fan base (regards missing material from Kingmaker) and no major uproar...

We produced an educational game for a large client some 15 years ago. When one of the upper management dudes got wind of the finished product, he stopped it because he hadn't been involved. We got green light after adding "Produced by X" first thing in the game. :D

So my take is that the adventures are produced in-house (utilising internal resources) and parts are outsourced, for example some writing and design.

Maybe not important, but interesting. I wonder how this compares to how Paizo is producing content? Is that all in-house or outsourced? Stuff like that are fun to know.

I'm not familiar enough with business English, so I'm wondering if there is there an amount of work "bought from outside" that crosses an outsource line? Like, 70% in-house, 30% freelancers = In-house. 30% in-house, 70% freelancers =Outsource? Or is any use of freelancers e.g. outsourcing?

The subscription-based business model was the true genius of the Paizo play. It gives them a steady income, and a very predictable customer number to fit their printing to. So I think you, Ashran, is a very good representative of a Paizo customer.

AirShip Pirates might fit the bill? http://airshippirates.abneypark.com/system.html

ICv2 just released the Hobby Games sales rankings. D&D at the top, and Pathfinder following. Star Wars strong, Shadowrun and Iron Kingdoms are stronger than I would have thought. http://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/32097/top-5-roleplaying-games-spring-2015 /M

I want to know upfront who has created what I am reading. That, in my mind has always includes the writer and the illustrator. The layout and the editor, not so much interest in that. But I think that putting them up front is a good thing, to make the readers a bit more aware of what goes into...

I'm happy to see WotC try out different ways of reaching out to their customers. Some things will work, others won't. I don't think they are "wrong" to use the name, as an avid White Dwarf reader I've seen this kind of transformation before and it's a thing that happens. No skin off my nose, or...

Historically on EN World, when discussing how D&D is doing the fact that it almost never is mentioned in the financial reports (I think it has happened once in the last 15 years or so) is taken as an indication that D&D is small fry and not worth bothering with. It has been used as "proof" that...

Probably because it wasn't singled out by WotC with a comment during earnings call at the time. This time it was singled out, which could indicate a difference in performance. /M
