    Interview with Aaron Shanks, Paizo's Director of Marketing

    EXACTLY. Since they have their own warehouse and thus able to look at their remaining 1e inventory they're able to make a decision as to what they support. If their remaining 1e stuff were still flying off of the shelves I'm sure they'd be supporting it because, you know...MONEY. But you're 100%...

    D&D General The Worst Part About Leaving D&D...

    This is just my POV so: I left D&D back in 2008. For a long while the Paizo boards were very robust. But if I'm being honest these sort of communities have always been problematic for me. It is a great place for resources and learning about how different people run and play their games. But the...

    Old timers?

    I was here early. I dont remember how early but I remember that this is my second account. Something happened with the site and I had to create this account. I know that I was around before 2002 because my son was born at the beginning of 2002 and I was on this site some time before that. With...

    D&D General Poll: What module do you want to see Goodman Games tackle next for Original Adventures Reincarnated?

    I don't think fighting slavers in an adventure is the issue, it wasn't back when the adventure was first released or when I ran it in the the 80's. I think the concern comes in with certain parts of the gaming community taking issue with the statement that SLAVERY IS EVIL and openly arguing...

    D&D General Why defend railroading?

    Better or Worse Practices for WHOM? Despite what you may posit here you don't get to standardize how people choose to run their games. You don't get to declare that someone is a bad or poor GM because they don't run their games the way you do. And you really, REALLY don't get be defensive by...

    D&D General Why defend railroading?

    Yeah. I was going to attempt to engage but his responses are essentially "his one true way" and everything else is wrong or bad. Granted, he's not coming right out and saying that but when he states things like " Story isnt X, Story is Y (the way I do it)" It's time to walk away from the...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Mainstreaming of D&D

    SAME. I was reading Daredevil and caught the parody/homage elements when I finally got my hands on a 6th printing of TMNT #1. Started really reading it with issue #6 and enjoyed it but quickly fell out of love with it with the cartoon. Haven't really been a fan again to this day.

    What's your favorite superhero TTRPG and why?

    To be fair Cyclops (who I am another fan of) takes on his teammates single-handedly not once but TWICE. The first time after the team is clearly rattled after thier first encounter with Proteus way back in X-men #127. He sees that they won't survive another encounter with Proteus if he doesnt...

    It's Uncanny X-Men #201 if my memory serves.

    What's your favorite superhero TTRPG and why?

    It has math and is a little crunchier so I'm not surprised that we dont see alot of love for it here. I LOOOOOOOOVE it and have run some amazing supers games with it but it think that a lot of gamers have a really bad impression of any game that has crunch and involves some math. SHRUG

    What's your favorite superhero TTRPG and why?

    My favorites MEGS DC, HERO SYSTEM and Mutants and Masterminds. I've never been interested in playing established characters in established universes. I like playing original characters in established universes or original characters in original universes. I REALLY like characters at the table...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e's Success Actually Bad for Other Games?

    I dont think that it takes players away from other systems. I think the way its designed and it's simplicity will prohibit most of it's players from trying anything else different or more complex.

    OSR Is there room in modern gaming for the OSR to bring in new gamers?

    I'm trying to see in where I wrote that I was stating otherwise. I specifically stated that "I" avoided those games. Not once did I state that they were invalid play styles or that they shouldn't exist. If I did? please point to it? Thanks. Or at least read the post that I was responding to...

    OSR Is there room in modern gaming for the OSR to bring in new gamers?

    Which is exactly why I wont play games like Pendragon or historic simulation RPGS (any westerns or games that take place prior to the 1970's). CALL OF CTHULHU was a no go for me for decades until HARLEM UNBOUND. YOU don't see the desire of playing ones self (some variation thereof) in an RPG but...
