Morrus
Frazzled

Morrus - just noticed the change to the laugh tag. Nice!

And kudos Morrus - what a win for WOIN and EN Publishing!

Morrus is there any way to get Matt's posts to the front page? I love that he comes over here from the DMsGuild to post but it would be awesome to get it on the front page.

It's not an RPG but a great book about Gary Gygax and the birth of Dungeons and Dragons is on sale for $1.99 in kindle format. https://www.amazon.com/Empire-Imagination-Gygax-Dungeons-Dragons-ebook/dp/B01158JTM0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486868805&sr=8-1&keywords=Empire+of+imagination edit: Still for sale, must have not been one day only.

From the Android ENWorld app I've noticed that a bunch of obvious spam had made the "trending" and seem to remain despite being removed. Any way to fix this? Lets add a mention to , um, GOT IT! Umbran, or should I have contacted darjr? Sent from my Nexus 6 using EN World mobile app Probably. For tech stuff, you generally want darjr or Morrus. Ok, let's do that then: darjr or Morrus.? Can this be a problem?

Thanks. I'll probably check out N.E.W. as well. Are there published adventures for it? Unfortunately, I don't really have time to create my own at the moment. I rely on published adventures for now... Even if I had the time, I would want to have some experience with the world/rules/etc before attempting to create an adventure. I understand. I'm in the same boat. IDK the product releases for NEW, but there are links on the enworld drop down menu above, or on the homepage. Or maybe Morrus can chime in.

I said it before, I have meant no hostility, in what I have posted before and what I'm posting now. @Morrus, I also have no problems with books, I thought my exchange with @darjr around post #98 of this thread made that clear. @Staffan, I see no point in discussing theft as a legitimate business option. A consideration, yes, an option, no. @Charles Rampant, I'm not bent out of shape. I'm amused. As Myrddin points out, most of what you ask for is already available. As I pointed out earlier, I find it amusing that people continually make the same complaints yet refuse to acknowledge that options other than what they have envisioned are available. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe your ideas of a companion app are something new and revolutionary, but what has been described in this thread fails to describe something new and revolutionary in my understanding. I find discussions on ENWorld interesting. One aspect of that is that people seem to assume hostility here rather than interest or critical consideration.

And yet Green Ronin recently said they were going to shut down their forums due to it's atmosphere (much like Wotc), I think they have reconsidered since then. While I have seen a lot of good things at "1st party" type forums over the years, I have seen them cause a lot of grief for fans and companies. I think the main thing was that they couldn't justify any ROI when third parties lime Morrus who run for.s for a living can focus on it full time; way lower cost to have staff tweet than to run a forum.

This is nice information and all, @Morrus, but what will you do with it? How does it affect how you run and manage the site?

While looking for a way to better manage the class powers in D&D 4e, I found through a google search this thread. Which got me started working in the Magic Set Editor. While the thread appears to be long dead, and D&D is not in the 5th edition, I still use the software and post updated material using on this forum. To answer Morrus' question, there was a long time between when I first came here and when I actually became active. The WOTC sites, being the official site for the products, was where I attempted to engage the community most. However, I simply did not find the site easy to negotiate or really very vibrant. I was disappointed to say the least. When their forum shut down, I did not think it was much of a loss. I looked at other sites to participate it -- RPGGeek really hadn't taken off yet (it is still a fledgling companion to the boardgamegeek) and I found D&DReddit simply too hostile to waste my time with.

I'm 55...without the '+' until next summer. :) Morrus, a question: where does the data come from, that gives the ages of users? I'm not sure if Google knows my age...at least, I don't remember telling it. Ditto male/female etc.; though this computer is regiestered to my name etc. nobody including Google knows who is actually using it at any given moment. (obviously, I am now as I'm posting; but anyone in the household could browse the front page and at best would still show up as me) Lanefan

I'm trying to figure out how Dungeon Fantasy got on there. Nearly the entire thing has been released already. I might be misinformed. @Morrus Are you happy to see your products on there? :D

Morrus - Glad you mentioned DCC Lankhmar because I had left it off my list, along with Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea 2. For DCC Lankhmar, the Goodman Games announcement about it from Dec. 26, 2016 would be the best reference: http://goodman-games.com/blog/2016/12/26/dcc-lankhmar-is-coming-soon/.

... best use their exploits. But I like the WEG Star Wars/d20 marriage vibe the system gives and will certainly play it more and see how it serves. Sometimes it is hard to try new games when you play them in a different game mode and I think since the players were a subset of my weekly FG D&D 5E group we sort of thought of it as 5E by default. On a personal note, it was really cool to run a game in my novel setting. Just yesterday I finished final edits (I hired an editor and finished going through his edits, I mean) so I have been deeply immersed in it for some time. I set the game a generation after the novel (and potential sequels) so it was fun to imagine the results of my main characters actions. I intend to keep this thread alive as I tinker with the system for this setting. In a perfect world, if I had the time and do end up thinking WOIN is a good fit, I would take advantage of the OGL nature of WOIN and put out a setting or standalone to augment the novels. Good stuff, Morrus. * In case any of the players meander over here by chance, I will spoiler block it: There was a side encounter with some bandits and their "warlock" master -- a person who has been contacted by a daemon via some aether device and given secrets in return for service. It turns out, the daemon circling the Robot Ruin is that same daemon. It has managed to use internal systems of the mecha to drive the mad Maker into a frenzy of repair using ancient tech stolen by the warlock's bandits. If the mad Maker can get the Robot Ruin fixed, the daemon will enter the mecha (much as the Bottled Daemon PC entered the industrial robot) and have a 300 foot tall war machine at its disposal.
