Don't forget about the boycott


Off-Topic Discussions


This has nothing to do with 4e.

But, the >boycott for canceling the mags< is still rolling on, and on.

That hatred will never die.

-- Total amount spent on WotC products since the Boycott began all those years ago, because they canceled the mags: $0.00

They......tempt me with Dark Sun. Tempt me bad.

Heathy, say it ain't so. Say it ain't so!

I haven't failed yet. Just....aforegone conclusions and all.

I've not bought any Wizards products since the Grand History of the Realms, though it's not really a deliberate boycott - they've just not released anything that appeals to me.

You can buy it used, on e-bay -- save yourself *a lot* of money, and wotc gets no revenue .. Win - Win

So that's okay? Because I'm worried about leading others into primary purchases due to my celebrity endorsement.

Well, if you really dig the setting, it's completely understandable. I won't even do any (paritally) tongue-in-cheek cheers to hold the Paizo line. Tensor does have a point about getting it used though. Cash for gaming has gotten a little tight lately.

WotC paying production costs, and getting nothing in return is the best case scenario.

Just keep it on the QT. Remember how the dog thing zeroed out Michael Vick's celebrity endorsement value?

Tensor, you're not still bitter are you?

I just like to let the wickedness in my heart out there.
I think I might succeed in holding, esp. if Paizo cranks out something Barsoomian soon (hint...hint)
I think, for me anyway's, it's better to be up front and come to terms with it than live in denial.
If I can do some 1/2 terran gravity swordfighting vs. some tharks with radium pistols though,.....that might help me fix.

"The hatred will never die."

Hard to read intensity in the post world. I have a hard enough time reading people in person.

Would it help you to know I stopped buying WotC when they changed to 3.5?

(Wasn't entirely planned. No group to play with, other things going on. Got interested again just about the time Wizards pulled the plug on the mags.)


I haven't bought anything from wotc in a long time, to me they're dead and buried.

Normally we let stuff in off-topic stay that we wouldn't let stay in other forums, but I don't think any good can come of this thread.
