And it's fun, so I don't begrudge anyone that. On topic, I think it's neat that different companies can operate in such differing ways and still have success. Paizo and Fantasy Flight, among others, have offices. Green Ronin doesn't, but it has a great team. All use freelance to one extent or...

Actually, we did . . . sort of. I commented on your Sehanine work for Chris Youngs. I hope it sees publication, because you had some cool ideas. Plus, Sehanine receives far too little love for her portfolio. :D

Yep, Paizo and a few others have actual offices. I should've said so, but it was beside the point. I guess, as far as size goes, it depends on what we mean when we use the sizable simian metaphor. If we're talking market share, I think it's inaccurate to say Paizo has even half what Wizards...

Working at Wizards is largely great, so nobody should hesitate if he or she has the chance to do so. The people are fantastic, across the departments from R&D to brand. And I personally think most of the RPG R&D people are mad geniuses of one sort or another. RPG R&D is full of persons funny...

All these titles are already in the bag, mostly, just FYI. I contributed considerably to the Dark Sun books. My response to this is way off topic, so I forked it here.

Forked from the thread about my cohorts and me losing our jobs. None, really, if you're talking about third-party people who make D&D-related or d20 derivative RPG materials--including 3e stuff and d20-era spinoffs. It seems to me, without any snark intended, that many people here and on other...

It's true. Maybe there's more to say later, but right now I have a Dark Sun game to prepare for.

This. Utility powers don't usually deal damage by themselves, but many of them are combat-oriented powers. The powers in the article are essentially self-buffs and along the lines of other similar powers.

Removing second wind from just about any monster, NPCs included, is usually a good call.

Defiling is a new mechanic. It's not the new mechanic you and James Wyatt are referring to, though. That's something totally different. I fail to see how it's stupefyingly mean spirited, but that could be a semantic problem on my part. It probably would be asinine. I guess it's a good thing that...

Stuff in Dragon and Dungeon mags goes through the same process that stuff in the books does. Further, before going into the compilation at the end of each month, and then into the CB and Compendium, it gets looked at again after we go over player feedback. If you're disallowing Dragon game...

Land pirates. ;)

I've never read the series or about the Manni, but now I want to. :)

Thankfully, it's not going to be the usual approach. This article was much longer than originally planned, and it had some scheduling issues in development and editing, so we broke it up to make sure every part got the quality treatment. This one-article/multiple-pieces thing isn't going to be a...

It's intentional. Any creature can be different from an established norm, and some of them should be. Maybe the cleric will feel better about it if he makes his knowledge check and knows the witherlings aren't vulnerable. He shouldn't expect all creatures with a certain keyword to be the same...
