Yes, Giant Frog is Giant. Also, Epic Fail is Epic. By the way, you've added a negative value to this discussion, so that still puts Mr. Added Nothing ahead. no u. He added nothing to the discussion and flamed me, so I flamed him back. Except that it clearly doesn't, or it would not be defending dis...

What is the "this" that they've fucked up? Their business plan? Their revenue stream? Given what I've seen of Pathfinder so far, just about everything. I'm not even trying to bash it over and over like a broken record, it just doesn't seem like an improvement on anything at all, and looks...

Given that it's not backwards compatible at all without severe silliness, do you think Paizo will instead make articles or extra books ($$$) to address the other splatbooks with Pathfinder? They've already fucked up this badly.

Back one more time, ignoring idiots who keep misquoting what I say (seriously, do you not notice the apostrophes when I said 'rollplayer'? There is a reason for that. Think about it). *facepaws* Your reading comprehension skills are made of Fail. See that quote there? It tells you exactly fucking wh...

I hesitate to even remotely interact with him, but you know, I think Roy has you pegged, and handled. I'll let him continue to insult you and your STUPID position on "Real Role Playaz!", because his responses are the most fitting. I mean "Hey yeah sure, but what about the people who ...

I have never had my ass handed to me that thoroughly in a jRPG before. Apparently I need to either grind more (do I? I didn't have much trouble with Golbez or Calcabrina), the game is rigged, or I'm just extra unlucky. You don't need to grind. Those monsters are only on the first few floors of the ...

Which is to say. "Real Role Players", and to a similar extent "Roll Players" do not exist. And this isn't just a "you can't put people in neat boxes" argument. This is a "Those are extra super STUPID FUCKING BOXES" argument. All roleplayers are rollplayers bu...

I am beginning to see your points on the issues you label, but one thing that I don't understand is: What's that phrase? Non sequitor? Or perhaps straw man? Maybe both.

I've met people who SAY they are. But all their games involve pointless slaughter to take stuff from monsters and about a million dice rolls. So Yeah, I haven't met any actual "real roleplayers". Just liars. They don't REALLY play as basket weavers. Damn. I always wanted my Profession: Mu...

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a section that would explain that "roleplay vs rollplay" is a bad way of thinking instead of trying to accommodate for it? Thinking like that is actually worse since it causes segregation instead of integration. I could agree with this. For me, I've alw...

Now, if you start reading the rest of those review pages, you'll notice many more parallels between the particular brand of anti logic inherent to that religious book series (and to a lesser extent, the religion it's based on and religion in general) and the work done by Paizo. For that matter, sim...

Personally I loved when they uploaded Cadillacs and Dinosaurs the pnp RPG. I didn't even know that existed. Also, reasons for bad sales on the Martial Power/Arcane Power splatbooks would be that: a.) All but about 5 paragraphs in the book are just put up on DDI at the end of the month anyway, and th...

It was the former. You are absolutely hopeless and a terrible human being for thinking that roleplay and rollplay are two different types of people.

So in other words you are classic retard, and you deserve nothing but contempt. Is that directed towards me, or to 'roleplayers' (I'm guessing the latter)? While I'm not a big fan of 'roleplay, not rollplay' people, they are at least TRYING to engage them. First, bullshit. You are in direct competi...

If you create a scale from stupid to really stupid in the opposite way, yes, people will find where they fit on that scale, and associate themselves with ...

Bias? If I don't see anything wrong with a chapter, that would imply that I've noticed that the amount of things 'right' within the chapter (or are referenced elsewhere in the book) make the chapter a good chapter. I only try to look at books objectively. If you can prove to me that this chapter is ...

Now that splatbooks don't contain much in the way of core rules by definition, and there are pre-made cards for new powers, so there's no incentive to buy any splatbooks except honesty and the books having interesting fluff that you might want to read and re-read (they don't, but Dragon and Dungeon...

Piracy was already thriving during the times of 3E. Getting books from IRC channels was not as effortlessly easy, as from torrents, but still easier than walking to a game store. Touhou made it even easier, and as far as I've seen the 3.5 books that were pirated were at that time all scanned which ...

I'd be offended if the crap that is chapter 1 was in any product I paid for. How so? It gives genuinely good advice and gives descriptions of player's that happen to fit mine perfectly. The only problem with it is, of course, the "LOL YOU NEED MINIS TO PLAY" shit, but that's always been i...

If I had to guess some reasons for sales not doing as well (which is ridiculously hard to figure out by the way, as every site mixes up just how 'well' the sales are going), I'd have to attribute it to: 1. Shitty marketing. Back in 2007, they had preview books for 4e that cost about the same amount ...

Pathfinder is meant to be compatible with all other 3.5 books, right? How is that even possible?

Also...Lightning Reflexes? Seriously? I can forgive the rest, but I somehow get the feeling they just wanted to toss out any cleric they could for their 'preview'.
