I seem to remember reading WotC writing that there was going to be no 4.5, because they learned how much customers were frustrated by 3.5 coming out so close after 3.0. The *impression* I get is that Impressions may have been a "knee jerk" type product release. For that matter, the release of...

I don't think the problem is whether or not they're looking for errors. What people might be griping about is the volume of it. If there's too much errata, then it's an indicator they didn't build/test properly before publishing. And, given the rules are codified in physical books that we buy...

Doesn't Essentials *replace* the three core books? I know they don't even *have* the core books at my Chapters anymore...they just have Essentials and the red box. Of course, Chapters is by no means a vendor of a complete D&D product line. Banshee

I tend to make the player roll first. *Then* they make the speech. That way, what they say is somewhat dictated by the die roll......it turns into an opportunity to think up a fun way in which your character mucked up the dialogue, if the roll doesn't go well. Otherwise, you end up with...

Pundits get it right...50% of the time :) Even the guys who get paid the big bucks to predict things. It's just that we tend to remember the times that they're right, and forget the times that they're wrong. My FLGS owners (two separate chains of stores owned by different people) have both...

Well, I would expect the Bestiary 2 to be up on that list, as it's brand new....aren't the D&D books a bit older (the ones on the list). Now, what would convince me is to see a month where you had Pathfinder release a major book, and WotC release a major D&D book, and see Paizo's book still...

I think it depends on the situation, personally, but everyone seems to interpret what to do differently. If I had a family member who couldn't hold down a job, or lost their home, I'd likely do what I could to help. They're family. But if they did something terrible, like kill someone? Would...

Does anyone have information to validate these points? I like Pathfinder and all but I'm not harboring any perceptions that it's selling anywhere near as well as 4E. Has there been data released to that effect? It would be a nifty accomplishment but has it happened or is it wishful...

Whether you "buy it" or not is irrelevant :) I would tend to agree with a lot of what was said. Of course, whether I agree is also irrelevant. Every family unit is different, and it's very difficult to draw parallels, because different couples will have kids that behave differently, and...

I tend to agree.....I've long been a member on the forums, but lately I haven't had much time to visit, so, aside from occasional visits to the Media forum and Pathfinder, I haven't been around as much.....tonight I come in and a bunch of threads seem to cover these same topics....4E being the...

I tend to agree here. I haven't been playing lately, but I've been checking out a lot of the Pathfinder stuff, and I really like what's been coming out. Particularly, as Paizo comes out with more "advanced" books beyond the core release, the manners in which they're starting to diverge are...

I was working on the collected original works of Conan the Barbarian earlier in December.....but I received Shadowheart, the fourth and concluding volume of Tad Williams' Shadowmarch series as a Christmas gift from my wife, and just blew through it. *Awesome* book, and a great end to the...

*Buffalo* has severe winters? Trying being in Iqaluit or Alaska :) How we deal with winter is a state of mind. At its coldest, we go down to about -40 C here....but that might be one or two weeks out of the winter. And it's still bearable......but I'm not going for any polar bear swims :)...

I'm thinking Green Ronin. They've got A Song of Ice and Fire, Thieves World, Black Company, and Dragon Age. They always seem to pop up with interesting licenses, and they're not known for their miniatures.....and they have some non-D20 rules systems as well. Banshee

Yes......I can relate...Champions of Ruin is one of the books I never bought for FR during the original run. I've read some reviews recently, and decided I wanted to pick it up.....they have it at my local store.......after the release of 4E, but before I decided I wanted the book, it had been...

I have friends working in the IT industry (programmers) who were directly faced with this choice. The company said that they could either get staff to agree to work 1 day a week for free until things turned around during the recession (and I think it became 1 day for free one week, 2 days for...

Yes......and we can see where those practices got the big three. One filing for bankruptcy, one surviving by pure luck since they refinanced pretty much *everything* a few short years before the crash hit, and the third almost going under. Two of them depending on extensive government bailouts...

I still think some things should bypass wound points, no matter what. I mean......if your character is knocked off the back of a griffon flying at 2000' in the air, and falls onto a mountainside, given 20d6 is the max damage from a fall, it's realistically possible that he would survive.....in...

Why not modify how crits work then? Reduce the likelihood that they bypass vitality points? Make it so that if you roll a 20, you threaten a crit. If your roll to confirm hits, then you double your damage, and apply it to vitality points. If you roll a 20 again, on the roll to confirm *then*...

You don't happen to have a link for it, do you? Banshee
