to me it wasn’t so much that they ended up where they did, as you wrote it has been foreshadowed for a while, but how abrupt it was. If they had given it two seasons rather than one rushed half-season things might have been different. It also didn’t help that in the last two seasons the...

maybe in the first month of release, in total sales it pretty much was the opposite until 5e came along

that was the gods saving the true believers from the by then unavoidable Cataclysm due to all the other people having abandoned the gods. I agree they are all jerks, lines up pretty well with stories about gods in plenty of (formerly) existing faiths though

it jumps your probability to succeed / fail dramatically, not the rolled result, as that is still bounded by 1-20. Looking at the crit chance is misleading, look at your probability of success

it is almost the entire growth of Hasbro Gaming... MtG grew by 347, Gaming without it grew by 24...

GoT did that with 5 books though, so a lot more per book, which probably translates into more readers as well

viewership dropping is not loud, but it grabs attention

ouch, if you have the guts to replace most of the original, one would hope you would replace it with something better. Given the result I doubt they achieved that.... In books that might work, I have read some books like that I enjoyed regardless, based purely on the language used. I am not...

depends on the changes I guess, LotR made changes, I was ok to happy with all but one minor one, and that does not ruin the overall good impression for me

WoT TV series was boring and meandering, I have no idea how the books are, but I am not surprised the TV show got dropped. Going by the DL novels vs the WoT TV show, I definitely prefer DL.. Of course there is no accounting for taste, so me liking it and you not liking it mean very little, and...

Old World is its own RPG system, not a book for WFRPG 4e, so in that scenario no time at all…

not sure Wheel of Time failed due to its budget. Rings of Power certainly didn’t. There is more that determines success than the budget

that stacks too high, I like the SotDL where each advantage adds 1d6 to the roll, but you only take the highest d6, not the total, keeps things from getting out of hand (apart from a roll being able to exceed 20, which might be an issue for 5e math)

you can ask, but all we have is speculation I assume. I know that is all I have, so consider that when reading my answer ;) I assume it is because OSRIC was the original first retroclone, that showed that it can be done and kicked off all the other retroclones. That spot earned it a place in...

which is a poor substitute for a retroclone. I assume it is that the PDFs can easily be bought and PF1 functioned as that retroclone for most of the time there was major interest in one. same, the only one I am aware of, I’d certainly be more interested in a modernized 2e than any of the...

they make most of their money the first two days… about 2 - 2.5 x the first two days for the total

Petersen Games itself seems kinda defunct right now, they might even have sold the rights, things are somewhat unclear. There were a few posts about this maybe 1 or 2 months ago EDIT: in this thread...

Well, let's hope for the best... it has been a rocky ride so far, so not sure I should count the chickens just yet

I agree for BX and 1e, but 2e and 3e retroclones? At best few and far between from what I have seen

give them plenty of wands, they can ‘cast’ two fireballs per round, so consistently do double the damage of a wizard with the right equipment
