Basic (and Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal) D&D did it, and so various retro-clones based on it also do - Labyrinth Lord and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. And then some like Adventurer Conqueror King have racial classes, not just Elf, but Elven Nightblade and Elven Spellsword (which is...

If this does well, will we see more APs based on his stuff in the Birthright universe?

Maybe it wouldn't be as cool today, but I really wish MB would put out Dark Tower again. Not quite D&D, more of a fantasy wargame, but that was awesome.

Kaiju being Japanese for (giant) monster like Godzilla, Gamera, Baragon, and so forth. A developer (who had made Godzilla games) was making a game (well, KS Project) called Kaiju Combat. But WOTC has sent them a cease & desist letter, claiming they own the name Kaiju because of their card game...

I would suggest Jennell Jaquays, who was arguably the best module writer in the early days of RPGs. Caverns of Thracia in particular.

Just say it's invisible electric eels

Yeah, I'm sure it will be funded, but if there were ever a less deserving one. That guy is really, really rich. I mean, look at the video at the bottom of KS page, he's in a Ferrari or something exotic (and expensive). KS shouldn't be about putting financial risks onto other people just...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MiMjQwd2VE So much better than I thought it would be. I'll even go as far as saying it looks like the game I've always wanted to play.

The Infinity Engine games have a huge cult like following, and Torment is widely considered to be the best, at least in terms of story. Beyond that, it's funny how people get hung up on the law, as opposed who has the moral right to make a sequel. You have most of the people who worked on the...

Menagerie of the Ice Lord is a low level adventure for Labyrinth Lord (basically Basic and Expert D&D) from Dylan Hartwell of the Digital Orc blog. It's digest sized, about 40 pages plus the cover and the map, so about the equivalent of a 20 page module in normal format. It was $3.99 in print...

It's essentially the shovelware philosophy. Put out as much content as you can, hoping that it sells enough to be profitable. And apparently it must be, since people keep doing it. Makes browsing a nightmare as well, since you have to wade through tons of products with minimal appeal. And...

Some people like playing 0th level characters in level based games, characters that are essentially either normal people or with some minor training (like an apprentice wizard that can cast a 0th level spell). But should they be part of the core rules, or in an optional section?

It's been 20 years since my last Astrophysics class. But I seem to recall that one of the interesting properties of a rotating black hole is that it no longer has a point singularity, but a ring shaped one.

Well, it's sort of like Youtube and Google books and even that Sribd thing. People put up copies of stuff and if the author objects, they have to file a complaint to get it taken down.

Musicians have a shorter glamour window, they burn brightly for a while, then usually become unpopular and end up writing tell all novels about the sick & twisted things they did when they were popular.

As I said in your first two attempts at this, maybe you should try to pick miniatures that have a broader appeal? Your quality seems good enough, but how many people need a giant squid mini?

The trouble with e-readers is that they tend to be extremely underpowered by design, so as to give better battery life. For displaying novels and such that are mostly text and just simple pictures once in a while, it doesn't take a lot of computer power. But for PDFs, it does. There's also...

Yes The thing is, I think the standard races (Elves, Dwarfs, Gnomes, even Halflings) are essentially just funny looking humans. Because they are essentially derived from real world myth. Elves in particular were so close to humans that they could interbreed. Hogni Half-elven was from Norse...

Since I don't play Pathfinder or 4e, the only D&D related products are 3rd party (OSR stuff)

If you take out clerics and wizards and add a cargo cult, then don't you basically have Gamma World?
