    Fan websites of WotC products and updated setting, a connection?

    Actually, they hired us, so we wrote the books for them instead of on our own. Most of the 3E Ravenloft books published to date were in our production plans prior to Arthaus picking up the license.

    Fan websites of WotC products and updated setting, a connection?

    Actually we (the Kargatane) didn't release a 3.0 conversion before Arthaus picked up the license. (This is because Arthaus picked it up so quickly.) The only conversion we released prior to working on the Arthaus line was for Fear/Horror/Madness saves.

    I'm an Albany local as well.

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    Most likely. I check out EN World and RPG.net regularly, the WotC boards a little less often, and the SS&S boards once in a while.

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    Some of the downloads -- namely, the netbooks and a few other items -- will still be hosted on the site for the foreseeable future. Sort of a little museum of our accomplishments. Others, such as the material from the Black Box, are gone. We don't have the right to host that material now that...

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    Death Undaunted, you mean. I haven't had the energy or will to work on that in more than a year. As it is, Gazetteer II lays out all the major details; you just need to connect the dots.

    Survivor 10/30 with spoilers

    Only possible reason I could have for disagreeing with your points is that I really dug the Amazon as well. Rupert rocks. He's a dead man, but he rocks.

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    Arthaus is releasing a d20 MotRD next year, as part of the Ravenloft line. It won't be d20 Modern. I'm not involved with that book, so that's basically all I know.

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    In all fairness, "d20" helped keep our site alive for an extra couple of years. What d20 did help kill was our ill-fated Masque of the Red Death: The Great War project.

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    I hope and expect so, but I have no idea. We've officially punched the clock.

    [Ravenloft] The Bookshop is Closing!!

    www.kargatane.com Yes, that's right - the Secrets of the Kargatane website will be closing on Halloween, 2003. This is a decision that has been some months in the making, and which hasn't been easy. This website has been a labour of love for the Kargatane for more than 6 years, and so we can...

    Geek Overcomes Social Anxiety By Turning Life into RPG

    Vaguely on topic: I was terrified of public speaking until about 10 years ago. Then I had to deliver a talk on something-or-other to a huge group of students as part of a university class I was taking. I defeated my fears by pretending that I wasn't delivering a speech -- I was DMing to the...

    Magic in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos Stories

    Do you happen to have a source for that? I ask because it's very nearly the opposite of everything else I've ever read about him. Namely that, other than a few mentions of an "Arkham cycle" in HPL's correspondence, it was Derleth who created the notion of a cohesive "Cthulhu Muthos," after the fact.

    Is SVGames an honest business? Was I the only one stolen?

    Just for posterity's sake, I made two large (a little over $100 each) orders during their Chainmail sale, and received both orders without a problem. Each order took about two weeks to reach me.

    Man, I wish my Ravenloft game was that active. :)

    [ HUH? ] GenCon Indy GM Badge

    I got that e-mail as well, right down to the strange cut-off, and was similarly confused.

    D20 and Miniatures Paradox

    You can talk about miniatures all you want. It's the actual, physical objects you can't include.

    Looking for a Mini

    Note that if you order directly from Reaper's online store, you can buy invidual pieces from the boxed set -- including the angel -- separately. Look for the Boneyard section.
