See this is the part of the argument that I have huge problems with and it's one that I'm afraid that I cant get past and is and will continue to be a HUGE sticking point. YOU got along just fine without one. I did as well. Although I was patching and creating content for my own games when there...

And now we're starting to see the not so typical tropes in the AP's which I dont think should be included in the talk about diminishing returns as they are not rule books but adventures. As long as there is an idea for adventures it's fresh product. For all that you might as well call movies and...

Agreed. "Many repeated books with diminishing returns?" Aside from the Bestiaries what books are these? Because overall Paizo is putting out FEWER hardcover books than WOTC did during the 3x era. They're basically releasing 3 Hardcovers a year (I'm pretty positive that it's not more than 3)...

I'm not sure that it succeeded at doing the first but it did almost succeed at doing the second. But admittedly that was my fault as well. That's what I get for being almost unerringly loyal to a brand as opposed to the game. Which was, IMHO, a great, GREAT thing. Especially for a system like...

Also about those newer non-OGL D20 games? I have the disposable income for a game like NUMENERA. At $60 I could afford to have it and get PDF's to run games for a table of people. But I cant afford to spend that money on a game that I'm not gonna play or that I cant drum up interest for. The...

Wizards moved on to the next edition just fine. Some of us, hell, I think a fair number of us just didn't like what Wizards wanted us to move to. Paizo didnt TAKE away WOTC's customer base. WOTC didn't want that customer base anymore so we left. WOTC was after a simpler streamlined game and...

First of all where are you getting that I'm "edition warring" I SPECIFICALLY stated that while I dont care for 4E I can appreciate the design that went into it. That's me CLEARLY stating that the game is not my preference but STILL being able to state that I think it's a well designed game. So...

Wait...What? And you dont think that changes made to D&D rules, hell, RPG's in general DONT have their origins in house rules from peoples home games? This sort of thinking is EXTREMELY narrow. I dont care for 4E but as a system I can appreciate the design that went into it. And I dont think...

I was around 11 when I saw Alien in a theatrical re-release I think. It's all well and good to see a movie after the fact, after it's been around for years, decades even and declare that it's not this or that. It's another to see it at the time of release or close to the release when there...

There are some movies that are listed here that I've heard of that ARE in fact pretty obscure (Jake Speed? Plunkett & Macleane, River's Edge, YEAH!) but The Big Lebowski? Really? Kung Fu Hustle? I dont know guys...

It looks boring. I mean it's a super hero movie. It shouldnt look boring. Superman Returns was a super hero movie. It should not have been boring. but it was boring. Common Denominator? Brian Singer. Which is confusing to me because X-Men and X2 WERE NOT boring. In fact X2 (which...

No Problem BedrockGames. And just to clarify my stance on inclusivity in RPG's? My favorite RPG genres are Supers and FRPG's. Supers for fairly obvious reasons I guess. Your race and sex really shouldnt matter that much if you can take over someone's mind or benchpress a tank. (but superhero...

Bedrock, I dont want to derail the sexism thrust of the thread so I'll be brief. It was the tone of post that just rubbed me the wrong way. It was the implications that fictional creatures somehow carry as much if not more weight than actual REAL living people who exist. It was also the idea...

It's posts like this that make me wonder how I've made it this far being a black guy being part of this hobby since the early 80's. It's posts like this that really make me wonder, if even for a split second, that maybe the people who made fun of me for playing a "white people's game" didnt have...

It's also fair for me to say that the excitement that alot of people are having for 5E doesnt translate to me because while I loved 1E when I was playing it over 20 years ago it's not a set of rules that I'm eager to return to playing. AT. ALL. So again happy for those people who loved AD&D...

I have no intention of buying 5th Edition. I bought into 4th Edition and wound up playing and running the game a few times and not liking it at all. Now I still have the 4th Edition Gift set and it's just sitting there taking up space. I'm pretty sure there's no fun that 5E can offer that...

The Advanced Bestiary? That's FANTASTIC news. That's one of my favorite 3x Books. PERIOD. Cant wait.

Right now I'm running Curse of the Crimson Throne (converting as I go to Pathfinder) and have decided that I'm going to slap a mythic level or two onto the final boss. I have something very specific in mind where I want the PC's to take her seriously when they do finally confront her. Granted...

You say these things as if they're universal for everyone and they are most certainly not. And yes I know you said "I guess for me* but you follow that up with a more definitive "The purpose of a published adventure is so..." Even with the prep I do to run AP's and prewritten adventures it's...

Yeah, THIS. EXACTLY. So: RAPPAN ATHUK - was because I'm simply a fan of RAPPAN ATHUK and wanted to support Frog God Games. TABLETOP FORGE - because it seemed like a cool project and I wanted to see it succeed. REAPER BONES - Because plastic mini's and REAPER and the value was amazing. ANd...
