Thanks hewligan. I don't plan on quitting but don't be surprised if I start cross contaminating down the road. Just keep an eye on my math and rules interpretation and I'll be fine.

I definitely won't be going 4e. I bought and read the rules and then sold them. It is a good game, but it appeared to be very focused towards tactical play which really lends itself to tabletop play rather than play-by-forum. So not a bad ruleset, but one that I don't think would be easy to use in this format.

4e is all good and fine, if you've a solid group or, once it's off the ground, everyone in the group pays into the DDI and can use the online tabletop of theirs. But, as you said, hewligan, it doesn't lend its self that well to play-by-post games that are less map update heavy and such.

I enjoy 4e, when I play it, but I still prefer d20, PFRPG, Arcana Evolved, and such. Of course, that said, I'm not keeping myself from trying to freelance as a writer or editor for it.

I like the amount of customization that is available in 3.x. And when you have as much money invested in product as I do, it is definitely hard to give up. Of course, I didn't think I'd ever make the switch from AD&D 1st/2nd edition to 3rd edition, so who knows?

Excellent. Cross contaminate away - that is something I can handle!!!

Friadoc - good luck with the freelancing. I checked out the submission rates on KoboldQuarterly and worked out that a BIG article would net me perhaps $75. I gave up at that point

Rhun - Yeah, I was a 2e boy for a long time, but we all adapt as required in the end.

Once I get my gaming library moved back in with me, as opposed to being in storage in Boise, I'll share a picture of it, as it's obvious that I've never let investment in one system outweigh my purchasing another.

*grins*

Yeah, I have a problem, but it's my only real hobby, so it's all good. I mean, seriously, is an ~30 feet worth of stack of gaming books a bad thing?

Oh, I stopped thinking about money, with respect to freelancing, until I'm a lot more prolific and/or hired on for more steady work with a gaming company. But, I knew, back in 2000ish when I started, that my freelance money would be more of an emotional paycheck than a real one, at least for awhile.

I doubt, thus far, that I've made more than a hundred bucks as a freelancer, but I'm also very far from prolific.

Hey Hewligan,

Picking up the Touch of Healing feat sounded like a good idea when I did it, but Danth has gotten almost 0 use out of it. Would you consider allowing me to choose another feat in its stead once we get to a break in the action?

He used it only once that I can recall. Anyway, sure you can discuss a change when there is some downtime (at the end of the mansion section there should be a chance back at Sandpoint to upgrade characters). Just let me know your proposed change so that I can make sure it is not over-powered or out of character.

Oh, and sorry for the delay in responding.

No worries.

I'll look at a couple of things and let you know what I'm thinking. Don't worry, I won't try to overpower him. I wouldn't want to be on par with our enemies or anything!

Holiday

All - I will be in holiday in North Devon (a little farm where the kids get to feed the animals twice a day) from the 26th of April until the 2nd of May. I will be without internet access during this time, and thus will not be able to post at all.

When i return things will be hotting up in Magnimar with some VERY DIFFICULT villains to get to grips with (and most are not undead, so Jovik's sneak attacks should work fine )
