I just bumped my computer out of an approximate 3 hour sleep mode and opened a new browser session and bingo, didn't have to log back in! Huzzah!
Not sure if anyone has reported this one. Something as simple as closing my browser and then reopening a new browser instance and having to log back in to my account. Previously you were automatically logged back in.
Makes you appreciate what Paizo has provided and maintained for us right here.
I personally want Iron Gods!
It's a brand new edition what did he expect? All the new editions of D&D come flying out of the gates and 5th edition is no different. Agreed. It's going on 10 months since 5E has been in circulation. It better be in an upswing. The initial release has set the standard for the quarterly reports from here on out. Once it hits it's 12 month cycle, that is when the true numbers REALLY matter. It is called sustainability and we are coming closer to see where 5E will be once the first 12 months is complete. THAT will determine where 5E will trend, not by some random earning's call. The quarterlies always determine upswings and downswings, not a random earnings call. And plus, the scant release schedule will be difficult to sustain this 'upswing' as fewer releases are even scheduled. So many people purchase the 3 main sourcebooks and when all they're releasing are, and I quote according to their Hasbro branding guy (I forget his name) - maybe 2 - 3 'stories' per year. Plus, they will be 'listening' to the players to see what the 'players' want. I read that as so freaking non-commital which means, at least to me, they have no bleeping clue.
I'll gladly carry around my iPad with all my RPG's and enjoy it.
I would definitely be interested in buying an all-for-one release of collected older APs. Love the idea and would definitely purchase in a Big Box format. Great idea TheMetal1 !
I have to say Imrijka has always looked the best to me as far as all Iconics are concerned. Now, Quinn is especially cool; but in the end, Imrijka still wins as my favorite piece of art. Great job on her, Wayne! So my question is . . . how do I go about asking her out on a date? You know, dinner and a movie. Maybe bring her to meet the parents and such like family and friends. I suppose you would have to give your blessing on such a matter, correct? Just refer to me as Curious in Charlotte . . . :)
Coming from the perspective as someone who has yet to play a single PFS session this is perfect. It is my way in and yes, eventually I will move on from Core and utilize all the books available for PFS play. For someone like me just starting, I don't want to have to endure the icy glares I've seen from the maxed players who look down on those who aren't 'up to their snuff'. Quite frankly it has turned me off to the potential experience of even playing PFS. Now, I can sit at a Core table and actually enjoy myself before it even starts. The arrogance I have witnessed, albeit not all the time, has set me off. That is simply a product of the GM not controlling the sessions that I have stood and watched firsthand as I was trying to get a sense of what it would be like. But it also is directly on the shoulders of those players who are not providing a very conducive environment to the veterans or newcomers alike. And besides, if Core isn't your thing then why worry about it? Others like me can step in too, that isn't bad, is it? If this is a way to bring back folks how is that a bad thing? Just my $0.02.
Finally! I'm still relatively new to Pathfinder as a whole and this allows me a way to get into Pathfinder Society play as a Core player and ease into all available options. Thank you!
Star Trek has always appealed to me more than Star Wars. And no, J.J. Abrams did no justice whatsoever to Khan. He butchered it, really. I do watch Star Wars but not with the same anticipation as Star Trek. His mind is a wonderful thing but I agree with your assessment that less is more. To answer your question, yes, the new lightsaber's crossguard is stupid. Grey said it best and no need to repeat what he said.
Its almost like they can read the history of TSR and not make similar mistakes. I absolutely agree. Paizo are some seriously bright and intuitive people, I trust them not to make the same mistakes as TSR and WotC.
Now that D&D 5e came out with their free PDF rulebook and is a success, what is Paizo going to do about it? Are they gonna make a free PDF to headbutt WotC? I think it would be a great idea and it would definitely be easy to get more people into Pathfinder. People love free stuff. A reaction to another company's release(s) is not good business for said reactionary company. Paizo is doing fine the way they are. To be successful, Paizo should keep doing what they're doing and not be concerned with any other company.
OK, so after reading halfway through this thread I've noticed something. I'm not going to get into a debate because, in particular, and who will remain nameless, -coughcough- , Scott Betts, I won't be put to task and go round and round because your brain can't seem to register we have a voice that will not be walked over by your inconsistent and belittling tone. You're like a playground bully who won't take an opposing logical voice and let it stand. To the contrary, yours is the right one and all others are at fault. You are faulty. Hit your reset button, dude, and listen for a change. Therefore, all I will say is that I don't trust WotC, not one bit. I may try 5th edition, I admitted as much a couple days ago. However, that doesn't mean I'll pay out hundreds and hundreds of dollars for the next, let's say, 6-8 years then push the reset button and have to do it all over again. I despise the 4e debacle and I especially loathe WotC by pulling PDF's. You see, I don't collect physical copies any longer. I use my iPad and store PDF's of so many different game systems in order to be remotely active and unencumbered. Yes, I was screwed over by WotC, regardless of what DTRPG said about availability. It is all summed up by this: THERE WAS NO FAIR NOTICE OF PULLING PDF ACCESS. So this is why I'm with Paizo. I see the care and trust-building with these people. My trust, regardless of positive or negative, and also in whom that trust lies with or against, is not anyone else's business to dissect and be considered logical. Voicing our response to the OP is the point, not to be taken to task and made to seem faulty in where OUR trust resides.
I'll be honest and say I've lightly skimmed over the 5th edition basic rules. My take is when WotC delivers a system solely for less 'rules bloat' that is the wrong approach. Who says rules bloat is a bad thing? Who says rules light is a good thing? It's all relative to us, the consumers. I honestly prefer as many options as possible and Pathfinder has so many already and more coming out. Seems to me 5th edition is nothing but a mash-up between editions for the sake of mashing them up just for something different and they can put new artwork and call it brand new. If I want a mash-up I could have tweaked 3.5 and 2nd editions together on my own, I don't need a new edition from WotC. So in another 6 years they'll most likely start winding down 5th edition and start up designs and release 6th edition for the bloody sake of doing it all over again. All that said, I enjoy many different systems. I may just try 5th edition and get hooked, you never know. I do know I'll be playing Pathfinder for a loooong time.
You know, I've had the Rise of the Runelords case bundle plus the rune giant mini in my shopping cart for about a week and nearly spent the $600+ for it all. But that quality assurance gnome sitting on my shoulder where he always does told me to look around the forums to see what you fine folks have shared about the quality of them. Right now, I'm glad I didn't buy them. I'm going to remove them from my cart and consider the pawns or another alternative. I love minis but will NOT spend my money for the quality of these things. So, thank you all for bringing up the quality so I can be informed. I always do my due diligence and here it paid off. |
