This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, it's been a year - Pathfinder online?

Quote from: Shipyard Locked;724798What's with the fetishizing of the word "Next" in franchise renewal these days? What convergence of psychology and marketing has determined that that word is the secret passkey to our souls?

It's to avoid giving a number, and making the franchise look inaccessible as a result. Same with moving from numbers to subtitles (eg, calling the year's new manshooter Call of Duty : Shootyman rather than Call of Duty 10, or whatever).

Quote from: Bill;719625It may be a good game, but once again, a DND computer game chooses to NOT use dnd rules.

Blah!


Use the rules dang it!
You do realize that programming a computer is WAY different than having a living GM, right?

Apples and oranges.

There are dnd computer games that used actual dnd rules; Pool of Radiance, Baldurs gate, The older neverwinter nights games, and others.

I simply prefer Dnd games to use dnd rules.

DAE wish that Paizo would release some really solid GMing tools, maybe a virtual tabletop or something instead of a shitty WoW clone?

I sure hope it has some substance/personality and is not a WoW clone.

I believe if they have no giant corporate arch devils funding the project, they can make a good game without infernal meddling.

No.

And while I don't think it will succeed, it's not a WoW clone. It's one of the many "sandbox" games that are all the rage, in reaction to all the wow clones.
