If I had never read his original 4E review, I'd have the same reaction. Who wrote it is irrelevant. The reviewer is more enamored of his own writing style than he is in being taken seriously. And it's not whining to say that. Trying to label a post as whining when you don't agree with it is...

I agree, to finally put my own thoughts down on the topic. WIthout a full blown campaign setting, the need for support with the background is not as high.. so I wouldn't expect as much from Scales of War as I do from a Paizo AP.. but I am finding I wish we had more than what we're getting...

Respectfully, You're not differentiating comments on the review and the reviewer from the actual product itself. You're confusing those two topics. There doesn't seem to be any challenge to idea that the character builder is really quite promising, if not really really good. So far the...

Thanks for the tips and clarification!

I believe they were genuinely trying to improve the game, and in the process made it significantly different. Arguably to the point its not the same game, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're trying to sell more product. Please note, there's no judgment implied in my words, only...

Huh.. thanks for the tip. I might check out my local chain on the way home. Was it Borders, like Zulithe said they saw them at?

Though in Morrus' defense, I think you could argue that Paizo certainly popularized the term. But hey there Merric, what are your thoughts on the original topic? How muich background support do you need for your AP?

Speaking only for myself, I didn't say he was biased. In fact, any review should demonstrate some bias. Its just that the bias should be based upon experience or exposure to the subject. Be it a book, a film, or an RPG product. I really believe Massawyrm tried the product. I believe the good...

I don't disagree with him. It is a cool application, even as a limited beta.. but golly he knows how to shoot the sunshine.

That is a fair point. Paizo is the continuing process of developing and selling a campaign setting, which is not an Adventure Path, but integrates with that Adventure Path seamlessly. WOTC is selling (through the medium of Dungeon Magazine) an Adventure Path without the campaign setting...

They fully intended to trademark it (and I say that so you won't feel silly because they made that request of EnWorld)... ...but then they decided it wasn't worth it. Another person might point out that maybe they couldn't, I don't know for sure. In any case, they intended to and then changed...

Aw crud... My intention was to post a poll, but I took over ten minutes, so it wouldn't let me. I suppose this will just have to be a discussion only then.

On the topic of Adventure Paths, I am curious what people are finding they enjoy, look for, and want out of an AP, regardless of what edition it is written. The question was sparked for me while reading the WOTC forums regarding Scales of War. Just to keep things genuine, two of the relevant...

That's a worthwhile point. If such copy exists, I'd like to see it too.

Thanks for the Link Shroomy.. Not only is it a good letter, but all the appropriate contacts are there too. I'm going to double check that CCF is the specific Fund that we donate to first, when I get home from work this afternoon.. That would be embarrassing if I am getting CCF mixed up with...

I am really dismayed. My wife and I give to that specific charity, but not done in the name of DnD obviously, so they're all too willing to accept it. I just don't know if I can support a charity that can not seperate reality from fantasy, or is easily swayed by ignorance and misinformation...

Eric is correct. That is exactly what happened. Paizo was very dismayed, because it was two billings close to each other.. something they want to avoid at all costs, and also something people get upset about. Unfortunately, it was out of their control. US Customs could not be denied, or be...

Juvenile Behir Thunderlance = Level 10 Artillery Lightning breath and thunderlance...

Agreed. There's a lot of potential here, but pretty lean on the role-playing. Are they that worried about page count in a digital magazine? Or is all the role-playing based material coming in the free Scales of War support article coming next Wednesday? For that matter, I hope such free...

I agree.. the Gladiator articles have been a fine start for the subscription issues. If they can just have a few articles like this every month, mixed in with some fluff, its going to be worthwhile. I had some apprehensions after the Ziggarat of Time adventure, which was 'okay', but these two...
