D&D 4E Paizo and 4e.

And I must say that I appreciate the thread necromancy. I wasn't on ENWorld back when all this was happening, so this was a fascinating read!

Just because WotC is doing Necromancy right now, it does not mean Thread necromancy is appropriate...

If you check the rules of EN World, you will find nothing against bringing up old threads. In and of itself, there's nothing wrong with it.

So long as they're otherwise within the rules (polite, not edition warring, and so on), this is a non-issue.

Erik wasn't the only one to make this prediction.

So did Clark Peterson of Necromancer Games.

...But they were WRONG!!!!!!



(And I'm so glad they were!)

Huh. I wonder what Mr Mona would say now...

He would say: "LOL."

The saddest thing about the 3E->4E changeover is how we lost Necromancer Games in the process.

I'm really happy to see Paizo continuing onwards with its quest for Fantasy Domination (or whatever you'd like to call it). I've got a subscription to the Adventure Paths, although I missed the first two due a lack of funds during the changeover (and I regret missing Runelords, although I'd probably pick them up in PDF if the situation ever came that I really wanted them).

Cheers!

We lost the Clark Peterson half, but not the Bill Webb half. He started Frog God Games and picked up where Necro left off. Plenty of Old School goodness there - for Pathfinder and Swords & Wizardry.

However, the 4E announcement did kill one product that, until I see it, will keep me seething at WotC: the remake of Tegal Manor. It was slated to be a deluxe adventure product for 3.5, but since distributors stopped ordering 3.5 product with 4E's announcement, it was canned.


Edit - I just went back and read this thread again. Wow! Some real gems in here from *ahem* 3.5 years ago....

I remember this thread from back then. It was not a very pretty one.

Obviously you unreservedly changed your mind in the interim. So what were they showing you back then that morphed so spectacularly into something you couldn't support?

Eh?

No, the saddest changeover was the loss of the OGL and the creation of the GSL.

That latter bit did more to destroy 4th ed than I believe even WoTc latest bumblings with the 'Monster Builder'.
