California: Yes they are crazy, and its infectious. I have relatives who moved out there and more than one has gone crazy. Earthquakes. Frequently. Why do people choose to live somewhere like that? South Carolina: One of the most depressingly desolate places I have ever driven through...

I know that we have begun creating smaller pdf's because they seem to sell as well as, or better than, the larger ones. People seem to like have something small and concise for reading and printing. Smaller pdfs take much less time to edit, layout, and in general, produce. This means that a...

This would be a excellent thread to learn about some quality pdfs that I was not involved in :)

I think that a short delay is acceptable, but extended delays hurt. I would rather have a book delayed a month than it have an errata/typo sheet longer than my arm (see most of WoTC books lately).

We at Alea Publishing Group are still slaving away. In fact, we just released Poor Gamers Alamanc (free e-zine where I did a nice Pirate PrC) and have Whisper of Horses (paid d20M module) slated for December. Warden, contact me off boards, I want to talk to you some about the e-zine we have...

Has anyone considered cacheing (something like Squid) the non-dynamic pages? I know the forums need to stay dynamic, but the front page (and several other high traffic pages) don't change often enough to warrant being completely dynamic. Cacheing those pages will/should have a significant...

Hope you get better soon.

I will attempt to drop by. I think this holds a great amount of potential for smaller publishers. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Jason, its nice to see that there are other business students in the business. I was feeling lonely. This is a market that seems to scare...

You mean the leatherbound book that costs more than dinner for two at a 4 star resteraunt? Soon. Mine is on order :)

PsyWar would also give you Stand Still which can prevent people from getting within your reach. Combine it with a high dex and combat reflexes and nothing will touch you in melee.

Clark, I knew I could count on you to take care of your customers. NG definately is top notch with customer service. Hellhound, I think you can still order the maps from somewhere pretty cheap. I know I saw them a while back for sale.

Clark, There was a review yesterday about Tegel not having the GM's map included. Is this true? If so, will it be included or posted somewhere? Tegel would be a bit tough to run or read without the GM's map. I have not bought, but do plan to buy, Tegel (and others).

This may sound like a shameless plug (maybe...?) but we do something very similar in our Guidebook series. "A Question of Honor: A Guidebook to Knights" and "A Question of Loyalty: A Guidebook to Military Orders". We have an entire setting in Honor called the Hill Lands. It is overrun with...

I agree, that is very nice. It gives me some really cool ideas...

As long as the powergamer/munchkin/min-maxer RP's, I have never really cared. I have been called all of these things, usually by someone who thinks that we should all just sit in town and RP for 10x the sessiosn that we actually kill stuff. These people look down on anyone who can do math to...

We (Alea Publishing Group) did some rules on medievel banking in "A Question of Loyalty: A Guidebook to Military Orders " These rules are based somewhat on the Knights Templar banking ideas.

I won't get into specific numbers, but I haven't quit my dayjob selling pdf's. I would be suprised to see more than a handfull of pdf sellers make 35k profit per year. I have seen the prices on pdf sales, I have checked on costs for art, layout, writers, RPGNow's cut, etc and it would take a...

Library Dining/Feast Hall Training Rooms Courtyard Guard stations Treasure Room/Vault Dungeon/Prison (at least a couple of rooms) Grand Hall for audiences Trophy Room for the lord's animal heads/trophies False trap rooms Servant quarters storage rooms on each floor, at least one for cleaning...

IIRC, when Tegel came up on the NG boards, it was mentioned that some time in the past the rights to do a reprint were given to another company. That company then claimed they were given complete rights. Now the person who claims to have the rights is dead (I think) the new owners of the...

You should follow paintball. One group patented the use of a "switch" in the electronic guns. People can patent just about anything. It is up to the people they sue over infringement to argue that the patent is not valid.
