Green Ronin: Kicking A and taking names!

Theron · Dec 13, 2004

I'm really hoping that my local shop gets The Black Company in by the end of this week (I know it's remotely possible). Otherwise, I may have to put off purchasing it until January. And that would suck like the suckiest sucker ever to suck in Sucktown.

I love their work, and they seem to get the best licenses. More importantly, they know what to do with the licenses once they get them. Now, if they could get Steven Brust to give them the license to make his books into games, I'd have to start eating a lot less food.

Green Ronin does what they want and they do it well. Plus, someone there actually knows how to run a business.

As well as knowing rules, editing, proofreading, and art work! GR, I love you!

I must agree. In fact, in my eyes GR has surpassed WotC in quality and has been doing so for quite some time now. Just last week I purchased Complete Arcane and Manual of the Planes and I would gladly exchange both of them for either Advanced Bestiary and/or Hamunaptra. WotC needs to get their act together put out better material. Right now I'm so over their endless feat and prestige class books that I've decided to stop buying them for the forseeable future. This coming from someone who owns all but the miniatures hardback. If Wotc is turning me off I can only imagine they are doing the same to others.

I'm looking forward to SpirosBlaak. Anyone check out the preview GR posted today? Looks interesting.

As much as I love Green Ronin, I'd say you're wrong and that editing, and proofreading at least, still need to go up at least another notch. Black Sails over Freeport... good but typos and other errors... Black Company has @@ page references... Cavalier's Handbook had table swaps, Fortress of the Drow had missing hit dice and CRs... the list goes on.

As bad as others? Perhaps not. As good as they could be? Nope.

Yeah - I've just picked up 'Trojan War' and 'Skull & Bones' from a sale. S&B has been pretty good so far - makes me want to play.

Go Green Ronin!

Hehe, right

. At least they are good at getting out the errata.

Btw, did they get rid of their funny fonts in the last products? Sometimes those are really awkward.

This said, I liked many of their earlier products. I haven't bought anything GR in a while (just because nothing really interested me), but there are a few in the pipeline that stir my interest

.

Green Ronin has a lot of my money as well. One of my favorite d20 suppliments (and one of the few that I've used in D&D, d20 Modern and plan to use with d20 Star Wars) is the Psychic's Handbook.

Steve Kenson has an uncanny ability to make me need every product he creates!

With all the gaming goodies GR puts out, and their ability to mold and understand the d20 system to fit the worlds they create, I could only wonder how well they would do if they could create the eventual D&D 4th edition instead of WotC.
