The Gaming Den

What sort of scale are you looking for? Armies clashing, or more small-scale battles with a dozen or so minis per side?

Ah yes, because: 5. Entire armies of high-level minions die in a sandstorm. (Related to Mechanics Fail.) 6. Healing surges; cartoon-character healing. 1. A lack of diversity and interesting classes caused by the standardization of all powers and classes. 3. Shoehorning the game into hackan 'n' slash...

Don't ask me. They also got rid of the ability to read the thread you're responding to while writing a response, i.e. basic forum functionality. I would say you'd think that a professional company which sets up social networking sites couldn't possibly be that incompetent, but their website speaks f...

You know, if you swear constantly, it loses some of its impact. This isn't Gleemax. This isn't the WoTC Boards. This is TGDMB. Fuck off. The man can swear as much as he wants, when he wants. And he doesn't have to give a flying fuck about a four paragraph post from a moron who's trying to give a le...

Where in that article specifically states that the "hundreds of thousands dollars" figure refers to the total prize money, rather than referring to the prize of individual tournaments (i.e. ProTours with 230K each)? Where in that article specifically states that the "hundreds of thou...

Grand prix prize purse: $30,000. Number of grand prix per year: 19 in 2009. Total prize money: $30,000 x 19 = $570,000 Pro tour: $230,795 per tour x 3 = $692,385 Pro tour rome payout: $245,245 + (1,250 + 1,125 + 1,000)x3 = $255,370 That is $1,517,755 in prize money for professional tournaments for M...

What actual fucking numbers? As I pointed out, repeatedly, their statement is vague and probably is a reference to hundreds of thousands of sales per line, and does not exclude millions. You claim otherwise. Why? Because you don't want 4th edition to be successful. I'm well aware you can lose market...

But, seriously, can we go back to people whining about Dark Sun not being compatible with 4th edition, rather than people tarding out and creating their own insane theories about how a company with 60+% market share hasn't sold a million books in a year? 60% market share sounds impressive, but RPGs...

Morzas wrote:Hey man, it's not like he posted a million -- or worse -- hundreds of thousands of curses in his post! You need to calm down.

I'm not angry.

I don't think its really much of an exaggeration when his post contained six curses. He also does a poor job of mixing them up; he uses "flying fuck" twice, along with "sucking cock" twice. I mean, if you're going to swear excessively, at least you could be a little more creative...

Well, Morzas, given you were confused, clearly you are a part of the idiot masses *rolls eyes* Especially given I specifically and clearly stated several pages ago that, juxtaposed, millions sounds likes more than hundreds of thousands. But obviously you are too retarded to remember that. And, incid...

You know, if you swear constantly, it loses some of its impact.

They hired another company to do their boards for them, and they are, apparently, retards. You'd think that it couldn't be worse than in-house programming, but apparently you'd be wrong.

I would bet you money that WotC has sold well over 1 million 4th edition rulebooks. I'd guess that they've sold over 1 million PHBs, and hundreds of thousands of DMGs and MMs. Given the relative sales of WW to WotC (1:3), the initial 3.5 PHB print run (which, lest we forget, is only 2/3rds the size ...

So your immediate reaction when someone disagrees with you is that they are "sucking the company's cock", rather than a far more rational reason - such as, you know, thinking that they've sold hundreds of thousands of copies of each book because of their position on the bestseller lists, t...

While in theory a character that has a 50% chance to do 22 damage per round is better than a character who has a 80% chance to do 13 damage per round, it's been my experience when playing tabletop games that people get less frustrated playing the latter. Well, actually which of those two is better ...

I never said I was a playtester for D&D 4th edition. I'm not sure where you pulled that from. C'mon, TD, don't be so modest. You've probably made the bulk of material on the errata boards and of course there was that extensive 30th level character project you did. Those are feathers in your cap...

Yeah, I find the Schroedinger's injury to be very annoying from a storytelling standpoint. It depends on how well it is handled on whether it works well or is jarring from a narrative standpoint. Considering that PCs are supposed to treat it as both lethal and nonlethal at the same time. In fact, a...

Hell, merely using the term "print run" instead of "sales" should already set off alarm bells. Why go through such linguistic gymnastics when you could just say 4E is a great success based on huge sales? They've said that too. You claimed they were lying. Why? You are in denial....

YOU are retreating from your claims. You have so far argued that... 1) 100s of thousands was used because it looks bigger than millions. 2) That it doesn't look bigger than millions but looks bigger than nothing than millions does. 3) That it actually literally means millions because it actually ge...

You complete moron! That has been the claim made since Frank brought it up. [Edit: lets rephrase that to "you dishonest little shit", because you changed the word to exaggerate rather than to legitimately state actual figures in court. Again you try desperately to redefine everything. Mea...

And you know, if they had done that those numbers can be added together under what you yourself call the "alternate" (and lets face it actual in any sane universe) interpretation of the "How many of these we have sold" statement. Except, of course, that when I posed the same que...

But we're trying to tell a story here, and Conan can't be both bleeding to death and fine in 5 minutes without the intervention of magic or anything. I don't really have a problem with action movie healing where someone takes some minor wounds and is fine next scene. But if you get hit with a wound...

So really, when they say that "the core 4th edition rulebooks" have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, they are making a very specific and legally verifiable claim. And that claim includes them admitting that they have not sold a million books between February of 2008 and April of 2009...

But seriously, at this point the thread is just people making fun of you. You've chosen to be so comically unreasonable that we aren't even really having a back and forth. People opposed to you could stake pretty much any claim they want and still win the argument against you. You're arguing that 1...
