    Roleplaying and Mental Health (Psychology)

    Sounds very interesting. Will you also be developing a profile or metric to determine for whom this kind of therapy would be contraindicated? Have you considered using a card based, as opposed to dice based, rpg, such as the Marvel SAGA system? Granted, there may be licensing issues with that...

    May and Beyond previews

    I really dig everything about the myconid art *except* for the forward facing eyes, which almost kill it for me. Myconids are fungi from the deepest region of the underdark. What purpose do eyes or eyespots serve? Give 'em blindsense, remove the eyes, and be done with it. It's dragon boobs all...

    Professional GM: Possible Return

    @OP: please also consider having your new picture taken against a "flat" background that does not contain visible media, such as the bookshelf present in your current picture. There are several good examples on the meetup.com pages you have joined. @no one in particular. This just one post in...

    Fiend Folio: 30 Years of Flumph

    The penanggalan makes an appearance in Hellboy: The Troll Witch and Others. Definitely worth checking out or borrowing.

    Kobold Quarterly and 4e

    Long time KQ subscriber here. Yes, the 4e content is more fluff than crunch in most articles, but this is also true for most KQ articles, as Baur wants subscribers/purchasers to get the most mileage possible out of his magazine, which generally involves providing more fluff to crunch (my best...

    An online POD service for large poster maps?

    Fedex print stores also provide printing services for large or oversized prints, and will mount and laminate as well. I have no idea about price. Fedex will accept PDFs and can return 600DPI prints. I imagine you may have to "prove" that you have permission to print the material, however, as...

    Exclusive interview WotC President Greg Leeds

    The cost of adding that functionality to a pdf pales in comparison to the cost of turning on your press, even if the press is in mainland China. Selling 10 9maybe 20 if your typesetters are based in California) pdfs would recoup that expense. We're talking maybe three billable hours from a...

    Ryan Dancey - D&D in a Death Spiral

    1. This means nothing without sales data on the titles you reference. 2. The archived lists only contain the top 15, so not even the PHB2 would appear in the archives.

    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    Much of the OOP OD&D, 1st and 2nd pirate content pre-dates official TSR/WOTC pdfs by several years, so it's not necessarily a case of PDFs from vendors making copy infringement easier. Further, PDFs from licensed vendors contain identifying marks that help discourage or punish piracy. There are...

    PDFS--Of the WotC Court Case

    Thanks for the docs, interesting read. Does section V1, 1 ("Prayer for Relief") have anything to do with the PDF taken down? Is DriveThruRPG/OBS a person "in active concert or participation" with the named defendants? Also, regarding the pixel wide watermark, I'm not an expert, but I do work...

    How will WOTC prevent "group" memberships to DDI?

    I would be very surprised if they are unable to tie subscriptions to IP address, ranges or blocks. I imagine it will be impossible to have multiple sessions open with the same user id, and there will probably be a limit to how many sessions can be opened with the same id within a given period...

    Eladrin Cities...

    I think a lot of the posts assume the Eladrin have a relatively "Western" (by which I mean western Europe/north American) of time or timeliness. Per the PHB (pg 39) Eladrin live ~300 years, and barely age (lack of old age related infirmity). Why shouldn't they have a more leisurely view on time...

    D&D 4E Video Review of the 4E D&D Website

    I would be interested to know what the OP and other professional designer/developers think of pages like http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/ or http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/cid/current (most of the content on the other side of the link is open access, so a user can prowl around a bit.)...
