The hypocrisy in this thread astounds me.

I'm usually a lurker, but seeing this thread, I realized I have had a very similar virus on my computer in the past. If it is the same one, I advise you to start it in safe mode (unless you already have) and look in your Program Files for a "google" folder. If you have one, then it may very well be the same virus I had. Just delete it and start up your computer again. Hope that helped.
It is sad to see Paizo go this way. It feels a little...lazy, taking Wizard of the Coast's game, retooling it with a couple house rules, and charging fifty bucks for it. A shame we can't have one of the best 3rd party publishers of yesteryear playing in the 4e court, I'll miss Paizo's great adventures.
I don't know, the troll part made me lol.
Great. Steal from the people who actually care about their customers. What an admirable course of action. Erm. So it's alright to steal from WotC but not Paizo because they "care about their cutomers"? Also, it seemed more like a sarcastic response to a person claiming their desire to pirate a 4e product.
Despite disliking the Alphas, the length of the Beta makes me dangerously cautious. Maybe it'll be good? That would make my day!
I dislike the setting and I dislike the new ruleset, but I love the adventures (Many of my friends have claimed to have the same like/dislike). I'm assuming Paizo will eventually dip their feet into the 4e pool and begin creating something for the game. And, also, I much enjoy reading posts on the Paizo boards, and on a few occasions, I chime in.
Now this is all kinds of awesome.
Because it's very obvious you're just looking for something to complain about.
Ehm, I'd like to point out, Pathfinder is just a houseruled 3.5, 4th edition is a continuation of Dungeons and Dragons. 3pps have to play by WotC's rules to play in their sandbox, because it's THEIRS. And, of course, Paizo will never be able to leave Wizards of the Coast in the dust, becuase they have a niche market.
People will look for anything to complain about these days. : \
Also known as "We don't really have a GenCon release other than 4e FR, so we need something for the fans to feel good about while they're over looking at Pathfinder" Maybe...but...maybe not. Edit: Also, I looked at the Pathfinder Campaign Setting...didn't do it for me, probably won't do it for a lot of other people, too.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Still lovin' me some 4th edition, and the love will just keep getting stronger when people can start publishing under the GSL!
Now THAT is funny.
...I had hair on my head rather than on my face.
I'm quite happy with the death of Gleemax, as I believe that it will lead to better support of the thing that I care about: DDI. Let's hope WotC makes good on their promise to add to support to DDI rather than falling short, as I can't wait for it's completion!
Ya know what they say! "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all."
Way better than Pathfinder
Sorry, it's an acquired trait. ;)
The legality of it I would rather not get into, but I don't find somebody doing something illegal to be an a$$hole if it's really as minor as taking a few fonts for personal use. Those fonts are REALLY nice! And no, that was certainly not a middle finger, it was providing the community with valuable content which can be used with their microsoft word documents. In the hypothetical sitatuion you mentioned...I wouldn't throw a tantrum, unlike some people around here. Just my 2 cp.
Was it really that bad of a thing to do? SirUrza supplied the community with something valuable and effective for typing up documents, almost capable of replicating a 4th edition book's font. (The almost excluding the elusive Vecna font, which I cannot find anywhere) Honestly, it wasn't a jerk move, it was a commendable move if anything.
Burned.
You, my friend, are beautiful. This makes everything I write look so professional, even if it is only so I can read it and go "Ooh, aah". THANK YOU, SirUrza, for this link, I salute you for your patronage!
Yes? And? It was probably for those of us who are too lazy to actually go and check the blog, or cannot find it for the life of them. Although, I have no idea who that could be, certainly not me! <.< >.>
<Drops an anvil on Anaxxius> Luckily, while playing 3.5, I whipped up a clone! Although, I did lose a level of troll in the process, I think I can get the XP back. HAH!
Hey, as one of the fanbois of 4th edition, I resent that :'(. I have a bit of disdain for Paizo because I love their adventures, but they don't support the ruleset I play. And for some reason, I doubt that Pathfinder will shadow Dungeons and Dragons at any point, as it will likely just be a slightly more successful game than the other 3rd party d20 games. ;) Just a LITTLE bit. I'll be good now, don't kill me!

Just pre-ordered this off Amazon for dirt cheap, woo!
Feels good man.
4th Edition is not D&D because I am not in it. But...but...m'lord Tharizdun, I must point out that you are found in the 4e Dungeon Master's Guide, detailed with the other evil gods, it even displays your glorious holy symbol! (And, by this logic, 3.5 is not D&D since Tharizdun/The Eye is mentioned at no time in the core rules)
Happily converted my 3.5 campaign over to 4e, still playing in my homebrewed world. Our party consists of 4 level 15s: Tiefling Warlock/Life-Stealer
We're happiest calling PRPG dungeons and dragons, because - it is. And damn the brand copyright. PRPG is dungeons and dragons. Its where the dungeons and dragons anthropology truly continues. Except, well...it just isn't. Pathfinder is 3.5 with a few rules tweaks, whatever is called Dungeons and Dragons IS Dungeons and Dragons, therefore, Pathfinder is most certainly not Dungeons and Dragons.
Honestly, if WOTC didn't create it would 3.5 be D&D? The statement can be used for ANY edition of D&D. Honestly, if TSR didn't create it would 2e be D&D? The question would keep on going and going all the way to the beginning.
Got 'em!
#3 and #4!
Quite the contrary! I believe that they are not abandoning their fans by a long shot. Me and ~ten others I know have been diehard fans of the company and D&D for some time, and all ten of us have preordered the books, so there are ~30 sales for Wizards!
Yes! In fact, there is a template in the Dungeon Master's Guide you can add to monsters in order to give them class powers. So, all you have to do is stat out the characters as monsters (or players if you want to invest time in the process) and apply this _very_ useful template to it.
If you already know that 4e is the game for you, then of course preordering should be done! The sooner the better! But, if you aren't completely sold on it yet, I'd suggest a brief FLGS browse or possibly running or being run through KotS, which in my opinion is a great introduction to the game. Cheers, Anaxxius
Running Keep on the Shadowfell, played through both Escape from Sembia and Scalegloom Halls, and soon to be running a converted 3.5 campaign.
Wow, thank you very much for these comments. I definitely do not have the time to painstakingly reply to everyone who responded to my plea, but I am now thinking of purchasing Paizo products once more. Right now, I'm still pretty damned excited for 4th edition, but, I believe I am going to try and get the best out of both systems, and see where I get from there. As for adventures, I am pretty sure I am going to start purchasing them once more and pick the golden fluff from them and happily beat them with a stick until they fit my 4th edition needs. Thank you for returning a lost customer to Paizo, Anaxxius
Alright, I am a heavy pro-4e fan. I have noticed the many mechanical flaws in 3.5 which make it 'not fun' and just how time consuming each round is at higher levels. When Paizo announced their new edition, I was rather excited to see what they had in store. But alas, I am not all too impressed. These 'revolutionary changes' appear to be nothing more than some minor retoolings of character classes and feats. Honestly, if I had to choose between 3.5 or Pathfinder, I would probably stick with 3.5. So, I have come here to see if there is any hope left for me. I am looking to see if someone can convince me to spend my money on Paizo and their adventures/ruleset, rather than Wizards of the Coast and the actual Dungeons and Dragons ruleset. Thanks, Anaxxius
A LOT of people seem to be disregarding the fact that if you don't like an assumption, you can easily change it. By the looks of it, many seem to regard the statements we've heard as law, when they are guidelines. You can still have your BBEG wield a Rod of Lordly Might, and it did not say that a person COULDN'T use an item beneath their level. Honestly, in my 3.5 game my players go through dungeons without looting anyone except bosses, completely disregarding the possessions of NPCs and monsters.
Count me in for none. Disappointing rules changes all around in Paizo's new edition :(
Oh well... |
