Glad we could confirm one game element Thanks for reading the interview and I'm glad I managed one confirmation this site hadn't sussed out already. ;)

Fiery Dragon Counters Yeah, I'm a fan of Fiery Dragon's counters. Cheap and quite effective.

Just a note A small point in the edition war going on between hong and rousner, but 4E's writing ( not the rules per se) draws a compromise for you two. While 4E offers clean rules on stats, it also suggests that changing flavor on power and monster descriptions is a great way to keep players...

collaboration RPG games are different than literature or film. Games are collaborative where a GM has a concept but grants the players an amount of control within the story. This means playing to the needs of various players at various times. Unlike a movie or story, a GM has a constrained...

Schism It's been an interesting topic to watch. My main group will keep playing 3.x/AE, but another group I hang out with will play 4E between Descent games (no tacit comparison implied, seriously). Really, I'm curious as an academic how the OGL continues while the big guy moves on to other...

I'm working on my thesis concerning wiki collaboration and bias, and would love to help out as part of the team that gets this going. I'd also like to document the process (not for the thesis, but for future use). contact me at: mt1225 @ txstate.edu Beyond the thesis, I've worked with...

Hey Guys Glad so many people enjoyed the old school element of the ecology article. Definitely a big part of what attracted me to writing this one. Nice work on the other articles as well. Was a strong issue.

If any publishers are interested by lack of a pitch or the time to write one out, I'm an experienced writer with an original idea tailored specifically for this concept. Have a number of writing credits, including Dragon and a couple of books in print. The concept is one not yet addressed in...

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the collaborative nature of multiple writers and artists. I know I loved McDevitt's art in for the chapter I wrote, and Justin worked hard to find artists who could capture the feel of each chapter.

Thanks for the review. I wanted the node descriptions to keep with Monte's original concepts of versatility and empowerment. I think we all entered the project with goal, and Justin and Alex did a superb job keeping our voices unified. Hope everyone enjoys it. --Michael

Blue Devil Games is a blast to work with and the diversity of opportunities listed here appears to offer a real chance to shine in new areas of design. I love the idea of a start up Dragon for sci-fi--my personal observation and supposition only. Michael R Trice

Issue 279 from January 2001 Has an interview with Bruce Payne in it, Damodar from the unfortunate D&D movie. I know this because the issue included a secondary article concerning the Persian War--my first print publication. This omen dissuade me for only a year or so edit: I killed my...

Intrigued I'll send a sample and resume later this evening. I have a solid amount up freelance experience and an editorial background, if needed; so I'd be curious about more details if what you see intrigues. Michael Trice
