    The Best & Worst of 3rd Edition: WotC Player Supplements (Winners Announced)

    10 to 3 for Complete Psionic Dislike to Like. Why am I not surprised? :) I did like Arcane for the Warlock, as well as Mage for Reserve feats. :)

    [Dreamscarred Press] High Psionics Compilation, Volume I

    Ok, it's not 4th Edition news, but it's still news. Here's a preview of the cover art! This is reduced in size and resolution, to make it not gigantic to load, and obviously doesn't have our company logo or the other stuff that comes with a cover, but I thought people would be interested in...

    D&D 4E 4e Gold Rush: What 3rd Party Support Do You Expect?

    IF Dreamscarred Press can join with other PDF publishers to get our hands on the SRD, and IF the OGL doesn't disallow such a thing, we WILL be making a dedicated psionics book for 4E in 2008. That's right, I said it. :P Not sure anyone cares, but hey. If not, it'll be in 2009.

    Who Is Going to Pony Up for the Early OGL?

    It depends on if WotC would allow such a thing. There is some debate over if it is or is not allowed. Confirmation of either way hasn't been received yet, to the best of my knowledge.

    NEWS: OGL and SRD dates/info announced

    In the Information Age, I'd hate to see the fallout from such an occurrence.

    NEWS: OGL and SRD dates/info announced

    This is a great point. It's the same as DRM on PDFs - it punishes the honest customer far more than it punishes the dishonest customer. Hell, I have a copy of Hyperconscious: Explorations in Psionics that I bought that came with DRM. Since then, I've upgraded my computer, so I can't use my...

    NEWS: OGL and SRD dates/info announced

    Actually, that may not be the case and is currently being investigated for its validity. And simply saying that it's a business decision on whether a company spends 5k is inaccurate. For some, it's not a decision; it's simply not an option. A non-option does not a decision make :) The...

    NEWS: OGL and SRD dates/info announced

    Yup. Sure, not all d20 PDFs are perfect (or even good), but the "glut" of bad d20 products wasn't only small companies. This fee strikes me as punitive to the small press publishers, without making a noticable impact on the big publishers, who might still, or have previously, produced shoddy...

    NEWS: OGL and SRD dates/info announced

    ... Wow. Guess I'm glad we already started looking into other non-D&D rulesets. Sorry to our customers who want our rules for 4E... not much we can do. Sorry, I'm just very disappointed in WotC's decision in this. It very much strikes me as a "the rich get richer" thing, since big...

    What classes did you play, which did you like?

    I played a cleric. I'd have liked it, except for the expectation that you must be a heal-bot. That expectation is why I did not like it. Despite being spellslots instead of point based, it seemed to be fun - until I got grief for using my spells for things other than healing. If not for that...

    Can Someone Else Please Buy Some Adverts!

    I'd be interested in advertising, but as has already been pointed out, the sheer speed at which banners get burned up put me off. Back in 2006 or 2007, I bought the small package of ads - I think I burned through it in under two days. I found it too expensive for that brief exposure.

    What is CoDZilla?

    Sitara, there's a reason when people go to the Character Optimization boards and ask for the best class to play for a Core games, Druid 20 is a common answer. Splatbooks may go a long way to increasing the wizard / <insert other base class here> to the same level, but straight from the Core 3...

    When is it no longer heroic fantasy?

    Given the posts of some others, if you do talk to the DM, I would probably say approach it as "hey, I love your stories and the way you present your plots, but..." If you explain that it's not that you dislike his ideas, just that they don't really mesh with a "heroic fantasy" or really even...

    New WotC PDFS!

    I fail to see how it's discount pricing when a PDF doesn't have the added cost of the actual printed book... Even a 5-10% price reduction would be reasonable, because customers aren't paying for the paper & binding that comes with the printed media. And let's not forget that PDFs have fewer...

    When is it no longer heroic fantasy?

    My thoughts exactly. What you have is an extemely severe case of railroading to meet the DMs idea of how the plot should progress. I have heard worse, but not by much. (Friends of mine played with a DM who actually said, "Ok, let's rewind by ten minutes because that's not what's supposed to...

    Kobold Quarterly #3 has arrived

    Yup, in 3 issues, KQ has really matured nicely, very glad I opted in for advertising in issue #3. :) Looking forward to seeing issue #4... Guess I need to get my ads ready for #4, as well. And I always wanted to actually write something for Dragon, had even been in talks about it prior to...

    Power-based stories

    I've played characters and played with others who played characters that were both "mechanics-drive-concept" and "concept-drives-mechanics." I've never noticed a corollation with either resulting in a less enjoyable game. In fact, I've seen a few instances where "concept-drives-mechanics"...
