That's part of it. But compare Lorwyn to Bloomburrow. Both have a focus on creature types, but in Bloomburrow each featured creature type has its own theme – e.g. frogs have lots of bounce/flicker effects (letting them abuse enter-the-battlefield triggers), bats have many effects based around...

Yeah, the main potential savings in going digital would be cutting out one or two middle-men between the publisher and the final customer. The usual route for physical goods is publisher to distributor to retailer to customer, while for digital it's publisher to digital storefront to customer...

This bit reminds me a little of Earthdawn. In Earthdawn you spend Legend Points (basically XP) to improve your Talents and to a limited degree your attributes and when you've done enough of that you can qualify to advance to a new Circle. Doing so gives you access to new Talents, higher...

That appears to be the exception. As an example, neither Pinnacle nor Onyx Path does that. Heck, even Paizo doesn't do that.

It also really sucks for customers who live on this side of the Pond when things aren't in distribution, because of transatlantic shipping and stuff.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

But wouldn't GenCon management object to throwing rotten eggs on the convention floor?

In 4e, an Exterminator (top level in the Rat Catcher career) gets to upgrade that to a Large and Vicious Dog.

I think the version in MYZ itself is great and very well-suited to that game with its theme of decay – pushing yourself runs a pretty strong risk of inflicting damage on yourself and/or your gear, but it's a gamble and you see the results right away. I think it works less well in Coriolis, where...

Having all labor that today is done by humans done by machines instead is highly unrealistic. There are too many jobs that need actual humans doing stuff. But there's certainly some labor that could be done by machines instead, thereby freeing up humans to do other things. Exactly how much, I do...

I still mostly believe the same things as I did back then, but my priorities have shifted. And I think I might already be pushing the limit on politics here, so I'll leave it at that.

Look dude, I used to be a member of the Swedish Pirate Party back when we had MEPs, but even we never argued for the complete abolition of copyright, only lowering its duration to something reasonable, a wider definition of fair use, and not prioritizing copyright enforcement over all other...

I might have to look into that. Right now I'm focusing more on Savage Worlds, but it's good that there are options. I'm mostly coming at this from how things work in 1e, and while the rules are a bit fuzzy on the topic they certainly do imply that you need the trappings of a career to actually...
