What about payoff for everyone here? I'm doing all the art & writing on the Animal Archives series. I certianly am not doing it just for the cash. Do the other publishers go through a lot of artists/designers, or are they in it for the "love of the game" as well? What is the turnover for...

Thanks Phillip! Thats really nice to hear! Animal Archives 2: South American Animals is coming out soon! 10 critters this time!

"I've noticed a vast increase in the number of 5-10 page PDFs lately. Would anyone be willing to let us know what drew them to publish short PDFs?" -Philip J. Reed Er... Oddly, Phillip, this post inspired me to go ahead with a smaller presentation for Animal Archives 1: North American...

How about non-magical alternatives? A bag of flour does wonders. :) Heavy rain deep snow A very dusty old chamber (if not flying) small passageways limit movement regardless of invisibility. wet paint, mud, etc...

The above is fine...if I were saying rapiers are excellant slashing weapons. Which I'm not. I was comparing (perhaps poorly) an elvin thinblade to a rapier, the latter of which you could at least make a slashing attack with. As far as what a thinblade actually looks like, It is a...

The thinblade, is in fact, not like a rapier. It is more a cousin of an epee. It has a triangular shaped blade designed for piercing (whereas you can make effective slashing attacks with the blade of a rapier). You would still use many similar tactics and maneuvers, but the blades are very...

Er, cause if you used your Charisma to Hide, it would confuse other players? I blame the Search skill. Spoon?

Just curious. :)

Hey, people. Just remember, going to this nutcakes' website technically supports him. Hows THAT fer evil?

Thanks for the information, people! We (Enkwell) hope to have several PDF's out in the next few months, and there are always a million questions and ideas that run through your head before you want to commit to a project. I am not a regular poster, but I am a very frequent watcher-of-others...

Funny, we also have an animal book in the pipeline. We tentatively have a late fall/winter date set. Might have to speed things up a bit! ;)

Does anyone have figures on units sold vs. larger PDF runs? Do they sell as well? (volume as opposed to profit)

I found Monte Cook's alternate bard in the Book of Eldritch Might to be an excellent alternate bard class. I took the character to 5th level bard/ 5th level fighter and then went the way of the Knight of the Chord (which enhanced the bard and the fighter classes). He uses an alternate...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the general subject matter of the shorter PDFs? Is it mostly monsters or spell lists, or something a little more meaty? Just curious.

I am currently running a city adventure. IMHO, the way to go about city action and adventures is the PEOPLE IN THE CITY! The people of a city is what makes it live and breathe. I currently have roughly 40 NPC's the characters regularly interact with. Now, this includes the people they get...

Brannon and I appreciate all the feedback! I truly think we're learning here, about a great many things. :cool: I appreciate the simplicity and "feel-good-I-lived-through-the-80's-and-1st-edition-D&D" B&W, myself.

Ok, then. Here goes: 1). a waterfall 2). a crystal forest 3). a giant mushroom forest 4). an underground outpost (the guards gotta rest somewhere!) 5). an old battle sight (skeletons, old armor and shields) 6). a kobold deathtrap (call me for more info Ed.) :) 7). free-form...

Ed, man! You GOTTA add some mideval interiors to buildings! I would love to see a windmill! Great for making the players use their wits and tactics! Um, how bout a belltower? Or even a golem repiar shoppe? :)

Wow. I have the same problem. I have a gaming group consisting of 7-9 people (myself included). We have all played together 14-20 years (depending on the individual). 2-3 can be shaky, occasionally dropping out of the game for several weeks at a time (jobs and life). Heres what I can offer...

Bah! Who needs pants!? Who needs ANY clothes. Draw naked! Er, I drew in this book...before it was published. :)
