Thank God for small blessings; it is almost like those guys do not know HOW to milk a consumer base. Joel Send a noteboard - 25/01/2012 07:02:44 PM
I actually start playing in a GURPS game this weekend... I'll miss all my polyhedral die. :[

When you say that Wizards gets a warm fuzzy feeling deep down in their wallets. :P Also, remember you need a completely different set of rules (and library of books for them) to play in an SF setting. For some reason, neither is appropriate for combining science fiction AND fantasy, but that is nothing another set of rules (and books) cannot fix. ;)

Lessee, a tube of dice that cost me $5 back in 1990, even though I NEVER used the d12 or d8, and seldom used the bizarre d4, or three six-siders, two of which nearly everyone has lying around their house from a decades old Monopoly set or game of backgammon; which is cheaper and more easily available...?

D&D 5th Edition... Hard to believe how many years this has been going. TaskmasterJack - 09/01/2012 10:47:30 PM 1794 Views

I use 3.5 rules too... vandevere - 13/01/2012 05:50:58 PM 1282 Views
seriously? 4.0 hasn't even been out that long! LadyLorraine - 10/01/2012 12:28:09 AM 1094 Views
4th Edition has been a commercial failure. 5th Edition wasn't originally due for several years yet. Werthead - 10/01/2012 01:37:47 AM 1230 Views
No, the future of D&D has resided with Pathfinder for a while. *NM* Kotagg - 10/01/2012 05:24:10 PM 586 Views

I found this blog entry enlightening: Macharius - 10/01/2012 01:41:12 PM 1215 Views
Dunno about the "Old-School Revival," but Pathfinder is definitely pretty popular beetnemesis - 10/01/2012 02:21:37 PM 1107 Views
I started playing when 2E came out. Kaldric - 10/01/2012 03:01:45 PM 1239 Views

I felt like that was the whole goal of 4E...and I think that goal was accomplished. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2012 05:19:14 PM 1096 Views
I think we'll probably see the pendulum swing back the other way a bit beetnemesis - 11/01/2012 03:46:00 PM 1038 Views

That was a Warrior trait, not a human one. Fanatic-Templar - 11/01/2012 07:18:09 PM 1219 Views
That sounds insanely unintuitive. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/01/2012 07:37:37 PM 609 Views
That's 2nd Edition. Fanatic-Templar - 11/01/2012 10:59:34 PM 1014 Views
A fine example of a mechanic that seems lifted whole sale from GURPS 3rd ed. Joel - 25/01/2012 05:40:58 PM 1517 Views
I repeat what FT said, that was 2nd edition. *NM* Roland00 - 12/01/2012 04:20:28 AM 551 Views
Incidentally, I am currently about halfway through replaying the BG series; great fun. Joel - 25/01/2012 06:41:53 PM 1187 Views

Digging around online just now it looks that may have been a 1st ed. rule. Joel - 25/01/2012 08:40:13 PM 1261 Views
AD&D represent! *throws up half-orc gang signs* *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/01/2012 01:50:06 AM 753 Views
Throwing up a half-eaten rat is not throwing up a gang sign... *NM* Kotagg - 13/01/2012 05:26:47 AM 615 Views
What about a half-eaten halfling? Kaldric - 13/01/2012 02:41:06 PM 1162 Views

Been re-reading The Sleeping Dragon, have you? Joel - 25/01/2012 05:29:15 PM 1129 Views
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Kaldric - 25/01/2012 06:41:46 PM 1187 Views

GURPS is still in 4E. Macharius - 25/01/2012 05:58:34 PM 1075 Views
Thank God for small blessings; it is almost like those guys do not know HOW to milk a consumer base. Joel - 25/01/2012 07:02:44 PM 1043 Views
They really don't, do they? Macharius - 25/01/2012 09:12:07 PM 1004 Views
They focused on rigorous rules that let people run games in the setting of their choice. Joel - 26/01/2012 08:59:59 AM 1146 Views
What? I've barely had the opportunity to play 4th Edition yet. Fanatic-Templar - 11/01/2012 02:38:50 AM 1047 Views
Dude.. I still remember the 1st edition books.. Kel - 11/01/2012 12:54:27 PM 1227 Views
I love Pathfinder and 4th edition. They're great, for different reasons. I'm excited to see 5th ed. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/01/2012 04:58:28 PM 548 Views
