    Hey, Randomlingers...

    Is that as in, adding a section to which a picture can be uploaded and then linked to on the boards, or adding the capability to attach pictures to posts on the boards?

    Good d20 Steampunk game?

    Just came across this while browsing the forums... it's really nice to see all the support for Steam & Steel :o :) Of course I'd recommend Steam & Steel myself to the original poster ;) but, as others have said, it certainly is not an actual setting itself; I wrote it as best I could to...

    Dragon issue #329 contents

    And suddenly I'm interested in next month's issue!

    [Eberron] Looting the Warforged

    Yeah, we wanted to do that as well :) However, by that time we'd had enough of traipsing around beneath the city so when it became clear that getting solid metal DOORS all the way to the surface (including up a vertical shaft at one point, IIRC) was hardly going to be immediately practical, we...

    OK so level adjustment +2 or more is really a bad deal!

    So in other words, the entire party is punished by the reduction in treasure to make up for the increased power of one character. But wait! That means that the LA race character's bonuses are worth more, as the other characters lack the magical gear that would bring them into line with their...

    Another RPG company with financial difficulties

    I'm guessing they're more targeting the customers rather than the games stores when they're asking people to buy direct from them.

    What's this about a plagiarized map in Conan: City of Shadizar?

    Perhaps, but given the sheer size of Mongoose's library of products, which is considerably larger than most other d20 companies (perhaps most other rpg companies?), it's interesting to see people pick up on the examples of problematic editing yet ignore the vast quantity of useful material which...

    What's this about a plagiarized map in Conan: City of Shadizar?

    Garnfellow - I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the map issue in Shadizar really is a case of the artist conning us (us being the Mongoose editorial team) and not, as you alledge, what would be a supreme case of dishonesty were we to attempt to blame a simple editorial mistake on an artist...

    Making the drow more alien

    That's what a human says about the idea of drow sub-races in a piece of fiction in the book. Suffice to say, the drow hardly consider *themselves* as a subrace, now do they? :) Not to mention, the underdark - with all its extreme privations, dangers and pressures - is far more likely to result...

    Making the drow more alien

    In mid-January I finished editing the Tome of Drow Lore, so I guess we'll see it in shops around the end of February or into March. Anyway, that might help with what you want; its main aim is to give the GM options to use other than the bog-standard overarching spider-worshipping matriarchy; it...

    Quintessential Books - What's good?

    As the editor of Bard II it's nice to hear that, Man-Thing :) The original Bard II manuscript we got was good but had only about half the number of alternate bardic performances in it despite hinting at more; the stuff that was there made me think it was such a good idea that, as we had some...

    Roll Call of Published EN Worlders!

    And some good work it was, too! :)

    Roll Call of Published EN Worlders!

    Carnifex (Published as Christopher Allen). My sole published work so far has been Steam & Steel: A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks (EN Publishing). I'm rather proud of it, mainly because none of the reviews of it i've seen gave it below 4 stars, and most gave it 5. Still waiting for that errata'd...

    Christian Magic

    I'd look at Dark legacies. The priest class has the sermon ability which is effectively prayers having a similar result as bardic music, and the Voice, which is direct supernatural holy power channelled by the word of God effectively, but in a suitably low-magic fashion. Then there's rules for...

    Mongoose Monsters?

    Trust me, the real covers for the first two Monster Encyclopaedias are very nice; some great work from Anne Stokes and Celso Mathias there. And no, the book isn't a reprint of Ultimate Monsters, they're all different creatures :)

    Hivey McGoodness!

    Fairly good, planning nefarious circumstances for my players to face in their Dark Legacies game tonight, and writing a propaganda campaign for my villain PC to use in an online Champions game against the 'hero' PC's. I say 'heroes' because I've been finding it remarkably easy to write...

    Mongoose, the RPG Industry and 2005. . .

    The first Slayers Guide Compendium is already available, I believe :) 6 old Guides and 2 new ones are in there...

    Monsters of Arcanis: Borne of Nightmares Open Call

    I'm sure that what you say is true, it's just that for us it would be nice to be informed of such delays and whether the product was still planned to go ahead, and whether any of our submissions were included, from the man himself and rather than second-hand. I'm not angry with Paradigm or Henry...

    Best fight scene?

    One excellent fight scene that really stands out in my mind is the final one in Equilibrium; never seen a gun fight quite like that one...
