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 1905 Views

I use 3.5 rules too... vandevere - 13/01/2012 05:50:58 PM 1389 Views
seriously? 4.0 hasn't even been out that long! LadyLorraine - 10/01/2012 12:28:09 AM 1231 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 1368 Views
No, the future of D&D has resided with Pathfinder for a while. *NM* Kotagg - 10/01/2012 05:24:10 PM 638 Views

I found this blog entry enlightening: Macharius - 10/01/2012 01:41:12 PM 1322 Views
Dunno about the "Old-School Revival," but Pathfinder is definitely pretty popular beetnemesis - 10/01/2012 02:21:37 PM 1217 Views
I started playing when 2E came out. Kaldric - 10/01/2012 03:01:45 PM 1364 Views

I can't wait to see the Edition Wars™ flare up again. Kaldric - 10/01/2012 02:55:27 PM 1416 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 1200 Views
I think we'll probably see the pendulum swing back the other way a bit beetnemesis - 11/01/2012 03:46:00 PM 1144 Views

That was a Warrior trait, not a human one. Fanatic-Templar - 11/01/2012 07:18:09 PM 1331 Views
That sounds insanely unintuitive. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/01/2012 07:37:37 PM 689 Views
That's 2nd Edition. Fanatic-Templar - 11/01/2012 10:59:34 PM 1131 Views
A fine example of a mechanic that seems lifted whole sale from GURPS 3rd ed. Joel - 25/01/2012 05:40:58 PM 1620 Views
I repeat what FT said, that was 2nd edition. *NM* Roland00 - 12/01/2012 04:20:28 AM 610 Views
Incidentally, I am currently about halfway through replaying the BG series; great fun. Joel - 25/01/2012 06:41:53 PM 1347 Views

Digging around online just now it looks that may have been a 1st ed. rule. Joel - 25/01/2012 08:40:13 PM 1363 Views
AD&D represent! *throws up half-orc gang signs* *NM* TaskmasterJack - 13/01/2012 01:50:06 AM 812 Views
Throwing up a half-eaten rat is not throwing up a gang sign... *NM* Kotagg - 13/01/2012 05:26:47 AM 666 Views
What about a half-eaten halfling? Kaldric - 13/01/2012 02:41:06 PM 1274 Views

Been re-reading The Sleeping Dragon, have you? Joel - 25/01/2012 05:29:15 PM 1284 Views
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Kaldric - 25/01/2012 06:41:46 PM 1340 Views

GURPS is still in 4E. Macharius - 25/01/2012 05:58:34 PM 1181 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 1143 Views
They really don't, do they? Macharius - 25/01/2012 09:12:07 PM 1116 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 1280 Views
What? I've barely had the opportunity to play 4th Edition yet. Fanatic-Templar - 11/01/2012 02:38:50 AM 1197 Views
Dude.. I still remember the 1st edition books.. Kel - 11/01/2012 12:54:27 PM 1335 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 605 Views
