<p><b>Roleplaying-to-Combat Ratio</b>
<br />
I love me some roleplay, but games without any combat are just boring. More often than not, it ends up being only one or two players who do most of the talking, leaving everyone else twiddling their thumbs. Put me down for a 60/40 split, w/ combat over roleplay. </p>
<p><b>Rules vs. Flavor</b>
<br />
As a former Warhammer/Heroclix junkie, I prefer a pretty strict run of the rules. I don't mind if GMs add house rules, so long as they are consistent and add dimension to the campaign world. That said, I'd prefer not to watch GMs winging it because they don't know the rules, and surprise house rules are the absolute worst. </p>
<p><b>Powerful and Flavorful Builds</b>
<br />
I prefer flavourful builds, if not downright eccentric. It doesn't mean they shouldn't be powerful, though. Always fun to vanquish evildoers in style!</p>
<p><b>Evil parties vs. noble parties vs. slightly sketchy parties</b>
<br />
Noble parties. I always want to play the hero, even in more neutral/antihero type settings. I'm fine with slightly sketchy parties as well, but evil parties just suck. I avoid those of games like the plague. </p>
<p><b>Sandbox" (open route, open destination) vs. "railroad" (set route, set destination) vs. "freeway" (open route, set destination) </b>
<br />
I prefer to have a set destination, but with some flexibility. Put me down for Freeway, though I'm fine with the other two (within reason).</p>
<p><b>Silly vs. Serious</b>
<br />
How about: Serious game w/ silly players? I always have more fun playing silly characters over grimdark ones. </p>
<p><b>Genre Choices</b>
<br />
I prefer variants of Medieval Fantasy rather than straight up Tolkienism. Horror Fantasy, Dark Sun, political intrigue, these tend to line up more with my sensibilities.</p>Oooh, fun thread...

<p><b>Brawler</b>- Love the Brawler! If you know what you're doing, Martial Flexibility is a hoot. I kept a cheat sheet next to me, a list of combat feats I qualified for and could pick up on the fly. A total of 23 of them at first level! Fun! First time I've ever played a martial who felt like she could do literally anything. </p>
<p><b>Shaman</b>- Love, love, love the Shaman! Terrific class. More so than w/ the Oracle, this gives me the non-aligned (to a specific deity) divine casting class I was looking for. I love the primitive/tribal feel to the class. I went with the Speaker for the Past archetype, because I hate that whole familiar-as-liabilty-because-it's-also-your-spellbook type thing. Still very flexible. Fun class. </p>
<p><b>Warpriest</b>- Still a fun class with lots of potential. The action economy kills it a bit. The Artifice Blessing was fun, though. Golem bothering you? Adamantine door in your way? Stone wall? No problem. Bam, Bam, Bam, all done. </p>
<p>There's a couple more classes in the ACG I'd like to play, namely the Slayer and the Hunter. I'm relatively new to the game. These are the first new classes that have come out since I started playing. They feel like my classes. I'd say the ACG is a hit, at least in terms of how well received it's been in games around here.

<p>By and large, the customers purchasing the anniversary editions tend to be newer/casual players who, for the most part, aren't likely to become subscribers. Likewise, subscribers are subscribers because they are diehard fans and don't want to miss out on the new hotness. Anniversary editions come out years after publication, so they aren't likely to cut into the subscriber market at all. If anything, if there's enough new content, they might even constitute a second purchase for them.</p>
<p>I'd say this falls more into diversifying your product line to appeal to entirely separate customer bases. The comic book industry has been doing this for years, repackaging older editions and reprinting them as graphic novels. It's a pretty nice revenue stream for them and one that's not likely to cut into their monthly publications.</p>captain yesterday wrote:Every adventure path they reprint is just adding competition to the new one's being released, plus then there isn't as much incentive to subscribe.
