Ball Hogg To get the "Ball Hogg" joke, one needs to have read Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings (a parody of Lord of the Rings). It was the spoof on the Balrog, which is why it speaks Goblin (one assumes). ** Jamie

After the new Serenity RPG site is up and running, we are going to re-vamp MargaretWeis.com to become the MWP website. As for projects, first up we have a card game called Dancing Dragons, then the Serenity RPG. In 2006 we have some very cool stuff on the fire, but it's a bit too early to talk...

That all has to do with the fact that Serenity was originally due for release on April 22, 2005. We were going to have a game out this month, but then everything changed. New information in game publications will reflect our new release date, and the final game is even better for the extra time...

The link was temporarily down, but should be back up now. It's just an HTML-formatted version of the press release. Thanks for the heads-up! ** Jamie

http://www.thegpa.org/index.php/pressrelease/MARGARET_WEIS_FINDS_SERENITY (The following is an unformatted, text-only version of the release.) PRESS RELEASE DATE: April 26, 2005 CONTACT: Margaret Weis Productions, Ltd. Margaret Weis/Jamie Chambers Tel 262-248-2419...

We know that there are plenty out there who would like to jump in and play the characters they already know. Those groups are covered, and our favorite Big Damn Heroes are all there. But some feel as you do above, so we created the new ship and crew--with plenty of detail but there no "set" way...

Because we feel that Serenity is all about character-driven drama and action, we made a decision in the beginning not to use "generic" sample characters. We created an entirely new crew for a completely different ship, with detailed descriptions and histories--written by New York Times...

Serenity RPG It's a new game system -- making use of neither the d20 System or OGL. I have nothing against d20--quite the opposite, as most of my published designs use the system--but it did not support the "feel" of the 'Verse. While it's nothing truly revolutionary in terms of mechanics, I...

Erik, I'll take a stab at answering the question, then give you an idea of where I'm coming from. 1. Right now DRAGON focuses on bringing new D&D material every month, and frankly I've got more than enough on my own game shelf. (Also, I'm one Google away from almost anything I would need.)...

I can see both sides here. Certainly consumers have a right to complain about defective product. At the same time, however, if the printer's proofs and advance samples all looked fine, it's not normal procedure for a publisher to hand-check every copy on a print run! This is definitely going to...

Gamer Girls - You Can Convert! Never was I fortunate enough in my single years to date a girl who was interested in my hobby. I've had multiple reactions, from plain disinterest to the assertion that I was endangering my immortal soul. Ten years ago, I met the true love of my life. Her...

Mindspin For those interested, the Mindspin spell (which is the effect of the "dream" in the Dragonlance elven kingdom of Silvanesti) is included in the upcoming Towers of High Sorcery from Sovereign Press. Jamie Chambers Sovereign Press, Inc.

Kevin, Thanks! We can take product-bashing, but pretending to be part of either our company or our licensor is officially Not Cool as far as we're concerned. Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion. For those who are interested, the Bestiary of Krynn should be in game stores by the end...

Fonts! I'm not down in the office yet, so this is from memory. Our "title" font for the front book cover is simply Times New Roman Condensed. We use a typeface called Mason for headers, and (I think) Caslon Book Antiqua for the main text. We've actually shifted a few things around in most...

DRAGON Magazine was always a "house organ" of TSR, even though for many years it had a broader focus and had limited coverage of other game systems, along with review columns for RPGs, computer games, and miniatures. I remember those days quite fondly as my favorite period in DRAGON's history...

James Snoweel I received the following note from Peter Archer at Wizards of the Coast HQ: "Please be aware that James Snoweel has no connection whatsoever with Wizards of the Coast or the Dragonlance brand. He has not worked on any of our products and is in no way a spokesperson for our...

Hey guys! I'm glad that an excellent deal is getting more of you to give the DLCS a chance! I'm not sure if you'll find such a fantastic discount on AGE OF MORTALS (since we sold far fewer into the book trade than WotC did the DLCS), but if you find a great deal go for it! Any of you who are...

Our ESCAPE INTO DARKNESS and SANCTUARY adventures for Sovereign Stone followed a linked storyline, and now for Dragonlance we are about to publish KEY OF DESTINY next month, the first of three "mega-adventures" that will form an entire campaign. I think publishers are afraid of products that...

These could be very helpful. Thanks! ** Jamie

So will the WORLD'S LARGEST DUNGEON thing from AEG still be the largest after Castle Zagyg is out? I'm looking forward to seeing it! ** Jamie
