While there's certainly nothing wrong with disliking something based on a preview, I would hope people would wait until the final is out before judging. Either way, I'm really, REALLY looking forward to next week's preview. The sorcerer is probably my favorite class, so I'm very cusious to see how much of the beta made it into the final sorcerer, as well as what other changes there may be.
Oh and I'm a fired customer anyway, so nobody gives a s~*@ what I think. PHB II is doing gangbusters on Amazon, so who cares what I say? Actually, it really isn't anymore. It *was* at #12 only three weeks ago. But now it's fallen all the way to #243, so it doesn't look like people are "telling their friends." I believe reports of its sales figures can best be described as "premature escalation." ;)
But this pdf thing is such a massive blunder.Explain this. Why is deciding to suspend PDF sales is the "massive blunder" you describe it as? Um, read the threads. :) Regardless of the circumstances, the overall vitriol and negative feelings thrown at WotC over this would certainly constitute a massive blunder - in PR if nothing else.
Maybe the older stuff was popular and they thought it was affecting the sales of the new stuff....
4E seems to be doing OK for WotC. The PHB2 is #42 on Amazon's sales list - and it's not even out yet. (At least it was #42 about an hour ago.) 4E also seems to be doing OK for Goodman Games. Beyond those two though, I have no idea. As for Green Ronin and Pathfinder, I could see a Pathfinder Character Folio, but that's about it in the short term. :) Long term? I suppose it depends on Pathfinder's longevity and the success (or lack thereof) of Green Ronin's own systems. No need to do Pathfinder if M&M, True20, and/or A Song of Ice and Fire are doing well.
I noticed that too. I'm thinking starting hit points.... :)
The only thing that gives me pause is the "adult content" condition, which is a bit open to interpretation. Is mild profanity "adult content"? Where's the line? Porn is one thing, but what's "offensive" very much depends on the person viewing. And the "general public" is a very vague standard to use these days, in my opinion. I mean, isn't violence considered "adult content" by the general public? We're talking about killing things and taking their stuff. ;) I think what Paizo is doing is fantastic (99.9% great), but this one term is a bit too vague for my liking from a contract point of view. Not that this would stop me from using it necessarily, but I don't like vague terms in the contracts I deal with, so I'm just sharing my thoughts. Unfortuantely, I don't have a good suggestion as to how it could be better, but maybe it would help to put up a Q&A with examples of what would be acceptable and what would not be?
No, no, no. The fansite policy is not supposed to be released until at least 9 months after the game is out. Jeez, don't you people know anything? Seriously though, very generous allowance on use of images, product names, and the like. I'll be interested to see how this is used by the creative fanbase here.

I think that SR thing was a ruling from Dungeon Mag or something. I am sure it was a rule, since I remember it so clearly. BUT it is possible it was just a long standing house rule. :) Or maybe a rule I grabbed from the old CalTech mods that I used heavily even up to the release of 3E. I mean, I know the game so well, we didnt even hardly use books. Seriously. I'll see if I can find that, though. Maybe you're thinking of golems, which (IIRC) are unaffected by spells unless the spell also works on objects and the spell does not allow spell resistance.
