He also made Golarion, like Greenwood made Forgotten Realms and he wrote and edited lots of Pathfinder products.

A few years ago a lead designer at Paizo said if you weren't the owner you were making what a mid year teacher was. Mearls confirmed. That means he was probably making about 75 k for the mid 2010s. I imagine with his name now he is making about $110k or so. More than a mid range teacher due to...

Actually it am because I run games for my daughter and buy these things for her. So since I am still a customer and give them money I would like it to be much more like early 5e. Back into meeting in a tavern instead of the coffee shop across from the hot topic. Lame art in the Monster manual...

This is exactly how David Cook who wrote AD&D did after Planes cape. He just retired as Elderscrolls lead. Jeff Grubb followed his lead and works on guildwars. You had Bill Slavisek in charge of lore at Elderscrolls online and Dave Cook running it. They made a practical Planescape expansion for...

not in the current environment where execs think Sigil was like BG3 and the CEO keeps talking about AI. It's going to be made by social media committee and AI. At this point I'd rather they just license it for video games. Nothing since Tasha's has been additive. And they even managed to mess...

D&D is toast. Glad I rejected 5.5. It's naught but a brand name now for licensing.

This reminds me of No Thank You Evil which I started my daughter on. It was great when she was 5-7 years old. She's to old for it now and prefers to DM d&d now. I guess this is the targeting youth thing Perkins was talking about.

What's with that third one? Seems a bit too goofy for a regular book. I preferred the more unified art styles. Its better for comparisons.

You're assumptions are only correct in they were not making fun of a game mechanic. You're assumption is very misplaced as to how it used. You said you didn't get it originally and now you've made an incorrect assumption.

No they would respond to Twitter posts and forum posts by using Thac0 clown as an insult. It is what it is. People tend to think if someone complains about it that it had to get this huge issue. It wasn't. Enough of the D&D radical political community used it as a direct insult i just...

I'm saying companies that need to maximize their customer base. Disney's put themselves in quite the position now. I don't think it's good business. That's why Troll Lord Games stays Apolitical.

Yeah man. If you were playing BG1/2 or Eye that would be difficult. Nobody from 2nd complained about Attack Bonus. I certainly didn't.

WOTC using the clown wasn't offensive. It was the Nutty Twitter users that used it as an insult that was. I have my preferences and I don't apologize for them. I'm in 5e for the longhaul due to my daughter growing with it. I just prefer my dwarves to be warriors and not Greenich Village NY...

It's not really WOTC, it was more of the Twitter player base that felt overly zealous in their purging of the Regressive Grognard

I honestly don't get my political lessons from entertainment. I read Xmen primarily for the characters. What they stood for was secondary. I really don't look for messaging at all in comics or games. Even video games. If it's there and it's not intrusive like BG3 I am fine with it. If...

It's absolutely true. All of it. Those of us playing 2nd ed were easily able to roll with it because we knew the esoteric nature. New players that entered with WOTC versions heard it was much worst than it actually was though. If you knew the paradigm you knew where bonuses and penalties applied

Especially when we were on that same usenet

People didn't though march into a room exclaiming how bad the stupid clown was. It was usually a reply to someone, an individual Twitter or post USING it as an insult.

I loved 3rd. You're not going to get an argument from me there.

People have plenty of games to acomodate them. I think it is actually worst to come into a game you weren't part of and demand change. Especially now. No need to stay with it if Demons and Evil Orcs offend you. Go play whatever games cater to your taste. Don't demand others change because...
