Although not in 3e, the ring of vampiric regeneration. Put it on a great warrior, sit back, and watch the show. I ruined many dungeons when DMs let my character in with this one little ring.

The xp chart is an easy one. From the d20 system guide... "No Covered Product may contain rules or instructions of any kind that: • Describe a process for Creating a Character • Describe a process for Applying the Effects of Experience to a Character Specifically, Applying the effects of...

One of the great things about writing Bluffside was that we decided, early on, to give the GM enough information to really run the city. We know that most GMs have their own world and ways of doing things, so we gave a little background information to work from if needed. In my version of...

272? So it's you that has been keeping the d20 industry afloat in this semi-recession. Thanks, from us all.

You guys are kidding, right? When you start selling stuff in the same market as someone else of course you are competitors. None of us are giving this stuff away. I also like most of the publishers I have met but I am still competing with them. Competition and friendliness have nothing to do...

We had a ball writing Bluffside. Glad to see you are putting it to good use. As for the races, I don't think it is a big deal changing them to fit your world. That was our idea from the start. A GM could use what he wanted and toss the rest. That is the reason that the Gods are as generic...

Thanks for the positive message. As far as the ruins and tower goes, I am in the very early stages of writing a module that will combine information on both of them. What I can tell you is that Secrets of the Barroks will answer many questions left unanswered in the book concerning both the...

Interludes: Sands of Pain actually starts in Bluffside, adding some to the city before it sets out to the Dry Lands to the southeast. For the near future, all of our Interludes will start in Bluffside, adding to the city in the process, before setting out to the next sourcebook location. There...

Of course, Hal forgot to mention one that is at the printer right now. Dry Lands, our desert based sourcebook, will be available in December at your local gaming store.

I have to agree with Monte on this one. I know of no one who will even take entire campaign settings submissions. The best way to get in the business is starting small, like contests, mailing individual publishers, trying to get into the freelance biz, submitting to Dragon or Dungeon...stuff...

The second you start talking about making your product for use with D&D, Star Wars, and the like, you are looking for trouble. Please, do not try to get around the licenses. You are only asking for WOTC and the like to shut you down. I honestly doubt that RPG Now would take a product that...

Curtis is the main man on this book and I appreciate him answering all of these questions. Once we get a final draft, which will be within the next month, I promise to post a page or two to give you an idea as to what this product actually contains. To the best of my knowledge, this is one of...

Well, for one thing...everything. Just because taking XP away from a character makes him less likely to create a magic item, how exactly does that make any "real" sense? How do you have two magic items that do exactly the same thing and their costs vary by tens of thousands of gold pieces...

While this doesn't cover monsters and encounters, we are releasing, early next year, the Artificer's Handbook. In it, we rewrite the magic creation rules, having them finally make sense. We also have ways to adapt this to low, medium, and high magic settings. Once we get closer to the actual...

I think this is an excellent question. When we were writing Bluffside, we saw that our big competition would be both Freeport (or as I call it the meteor that struck Bluffside) and Windhaven. It really looked promising. Does anybody know about it?
