Hi, I'm trying to update my account through the User Control Panel and am getting errors back (and the changes aren't taking. Otherwise I wouldn't mention the errors). When I try updating my options (at http://www.enworld.org/profile.php?do=editoptions) I get this error: When I try...

Louis, All the painting was done in Photoshop 6. The under drawing was real pencil, scanned. (Yes, there have been 4 new versions of Photoshop since mine. I guess I'm an old school digital painter.) --Drew

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Converting the image from the Adobe RGB colorspace it was painted in to the generic SRGB web browsers use will keep the colors from becoming muted: --Drew

Thanks, sam, but don't worry too much about me. I'm okay. Anachronism is a shame, yes. All too often freelancers end up subsidizing failing or under funded companies. And, oddly enough, the people not paying us expect us to be happy they're still producing product, rather than settling their...

I wonder about materials too, and about what size are they usually? (My guess is the fire was edited in, with Photoshop or the like.) --Drew

You too can make tens of dollars in the game industry! When people at conventions ask me about working in the game industry that's what I tell them. I forget which freelance writer I got that from (Jim Keiley? Zach Bush? Ken Hite? Geoff Grabowski?), but it applies to illustrators just as...

Have you, by chance, checked the monitor's power cable? I was having similar symptoms, but reseating the power cable in the back of the monitor seems to have taken care of it. --Drew

I've been painting with Photoshop for several years now. Here's an overview of my process: Equipment: pencil, bristol board, scanner, Wacom tablet (though other brands seem to have improved a great deal over the past few years), Photoshop 6 (an oldie but a goodie). I still start my digital...

He left months ago, actually. He's out of the RPG business as far as his day job is concerned, but I'm not sure what all he's up to after hours. I think he'll be doing more projects of his own though, not a lot of freelancing. --Drew

Why not update the Girallons to 3.5 and use the squeeze rules while they're cramped for fighting space? They're slaves after all, so giving them enough room to fight wouldn't really be in their keepers' best interest. --Drew

Sounds good, Telperion. Thanks for the help. --Drew

I've looked under Bull Rush, Overrun, tactical movement, movement while grappling, and everything else I had that seemed related. I've checked the faqs and the Wizard's message boards, and found nothing on the subject. I expect your answer is the one I would have found, but I would have liked...

It's a +3. --Drew

Is that clearly stated anywhere? I haven't seen it, but I'm probably not looking in the right place. Thanks, --Drew

The fighter/rogue in our game recently got a sword with the knockback special ability from The Arms and Equipment Guide: How do -- or would -- you handle a creature being knocked into or through an occupied square? Would the occupied square simply stop the knockback victim from moving its 10...
