Oh no, that wouldn't suit my style of game. I don't disagree with you in the slightest Philotomy. I do kill PCs in the course of the game, just in case that needs stating. ;) But you and I, we weren't there. We don't know. That we don't know the quality of warning and hint that was given. We...

I just wanted to rephrase what I said earlier. I don't want to come across as advocating "metagaming" to save players from using common sense and sparing them the consequences of poor judgment. (..and thus creating a precedent of happening over and over again, as one poster predicted) No, no...

I like the cards, but a lot of my fellow players prefer sheets. I was just finding way too many options that I was forgetting to use when I was using the sheets.. Now.. having said that, I've seen some cool options in this thread that I might try. There could be something to the fact that...

Well, You came up with a solution that works for you, and that's good.. I view this situation as being on the edge of a storytelling versus simulationism question. I'm not saying that you fall into either catagory, but the players seemingly 'over-thought' the situation from your perspective...

I subcribed. I'm not playing 4E right now, but plan on running it when one of my 3.5 games end. The magazine content, in my opinion, has been better than the first two retail modules. Maybe I'm an optimist, but I feel good about the decision. Its two magazines for roughly $2.50 (each) a month...

That is correct. This poll at the Kobold Quarterly site is just narrowing down some of the choices. The usual method for project selection is ultimately determined by what project gets funding. If something you don't like gets funded instead, Wolfgang refunds your money. Patronage is...

Yep. Thanks for answering.

May I repeat the same question Wolfgang asked Dave, that being, why? This isn't a critical statement on your decision. I respect it. Wouldn't dream of telling you that there's anything wrong with it. But I don't understand it. Could you explain?

No dump stat.. or less at least less of a benefit to designating one. I hated that.

So it does... But he has seperated the Topic from the Edition for the most part. Just about any offering could be done in either Edition, with the exception of a project set in his canonical Free City of Zobeck, which he protects by keeping it exclusively 3.5. So it could be an aquatic...

Arawn76, Thanks for posting this! Yes.. Wolfgang has two polls going right now over at the Kobold Quarterly Forums. The first poll addresses what the next topic/theme of the Project will be.. from strange battles with Angels, to a pulp oriented sunken Atlantis, to other fascinating and...

Wolfgang Baur is getting ready to start his next Open Design Project! And if you’re interested, he’d like to what you think the topic/theme should be.. and what game system he should use! Not familiar with Open Design? It’s the original role-playing design group using the Patronage system...

Sigurd, This is a subjective question that can't be answered in absolutes. I still maintain it's unfair to consumers. Other posters can easily spend all day explaining why they think it's not. The problem is the definition of fair, itself, is highly subjective. The position that just because...

But getting back on topic, here is something of a fluff question. Something to muse over. How willing are you to really invest in a 4E product now, in comparison to before you saw the GSL. Example: after looking at the GSL, you no longer felt willing to write the 4E Tome of Horrors. Presumably...

Yes, yes it is. At least from a certain perspective. And this is a point of view that I've often tried to put forth, but it seldom catches any attention. You see, it's unfair, but not illegal. In fact it's supported by the law. Unfortunately it is the way business functions. The relationship is...

I take your point, and I'm not saying you're incorrect.. however, in your own words, that is a purely pragmatic outlook. When dealing with people's feelings (and consumers are rife with those), sometimes you do have to take perception into account. This isn't just a case of the 3rd Party...

Matt, This was cross posted over at Paizo. One of the folks over there has asked what would the storage space requirement be (or even an estimate). They feel they might be able to mirror for this collection indefinitely. Thanks!

I am not refuting this point, I certainly think it played an important role in Paizo's decision. However based on comments made by Erik Mona (and Co.), I believe the decision had many layers to it, the delay being only one of them. I can't see taking this license, even with ample prep time...

I know this isn't the time or place. And that your comments shouldn't be taken as a final opinion, or decision. So on and so forth... But I would be interested in buying a Pathfinder version of ToH. I find the prospect of it pretty exciting actually.

I am curious as to what Mr. Clark Peterson's comment will be.
