Now show how that high level 3E fighter with 4 attacks per round screws up 4 times as often as Bob the 1st level warrior. Fumble rules just screw over exceptional PCs, glad we never used them.

I think it will come down to the simple question of is D&D making the company profit? If yes - little will change (except maybe an expansion into other venues like TV, movies, merchandising etc) if no then there will likely be yet another shakeup in the D&D stable.

Wow - thank you for the offers of help and the link to the pegforum! When I get deeper into creating my first game/setting I'll be sure to keep you in mind for my inevitable stupid questions!

Not to hijack the OPs thread or anything but I am looking into Savage Worlds - where does this cadre of players/GMs hang out?

I couldn't agree with this more even if I had a nuclear powered agreeing machine. Dwellers was a campaign setting in 32 pages. Temple was a 32 page dungeon delve dragged out to 128 pages. The only other one I would have liked to see on the list somewhere was A1 Slavepits of the Undercity.

Of course not - they never add extra canoes to their adventures!! The very idea! *adjusts monacle*

I don't like to met with a tableau of blank stares when I lay out ample adventure hooks tied to key pieces the players have said they are actively looking into.

Well at least you're staying classy about it and not crowing like you cured cancer or something actually important.:hmm:

Like Umbran I too have a friend who will soon pass due to advanced cancer. he's lived with it for 5 years and that was beating the odds - he was originally told he'd be dead within a year of diagnosis. The campaign I'm running is for him - I want to keep in touch with him and he has always...

Petty reason to buy 5E? Now that's something I can get behind! 1) It'll show those no-goodnicks over at paizo a little of the what-for, eh!? 2) Ogres have exactly the right/wrong amount of hit points at last! 3) 1000s of people will be happy/angry over the new edition - both reactions will...

Don't like gnomes and they are banned from any and all games I DM. Oddly I have never, ever had a player want to play one.

99% of painters I know would take these on just for the joy and challenge of painting them. As others have said the price is on the high end of normal for resin minis but if you don't like painting you won't get any value out of these (of course you also won't have a sweet Illithid Hunting...

I would think postage costs and wait time for delivery would be much higher than public transit and a 90 minute drive. Also can't any store petition GF9 to sell to them? I mean - why wouldn't GF9 want to sell to as many people as possible?

Some of these seem a little high ($20 for a single tiefling) but others look like a good deal (Lloth and that Illithid Hunting Party especially). The detail level is amazing (as expected with resin) I just wonder how easy assembly is - that was always a killer for me - my thick clumsy fingers...

I find it interesting that this thread's "Similar Threads" listing has 5 threads dating back to 2002! This isn't a new problem and even before cellphones and tablets 'distracted gamer syndrome' was hardly rare. Often players would get caught up in reading some game book or something and 'zone...

Oh thank the Maker we might actually see an end to the 'Your Paladin can't kill those baby orcs he has to be LG!!!' I mean I'm not holding my breath or anything but am quietly optimistic. So a major selling point for me is seeing the end of the LG-only paladin.

Might want to cut out the extra formatting/sizing/colour changes there, sport.

Once you accept that a dragon can have a mound of gold big enough to sleep on it really doesn't matter anymore.

Why would cultural biases in a fantasy game be such a problem? Most of the games I've run or played in have had some kind of cultural bias as a potential source of conflict. I just don't understand why it would be considered a 'sticky' subject where as bias based on physical differences is...

If in the unlikely event that there is a wide-open 3E style OGL I wonder if there would be a way to put some kind of quality control barrier in place. I remember all too well the glut of sub-par and downright atrocious 3E compatible books that came out in the 2 years after 3E. When that bubble...
