    Interludes: Sands of Pain update

    Actually, I am in the final stages of editing and it really looks great. Becky did a great job with this one. Once Sands of Pain is out, you will see more information on Dry Lands. BTW, we started a designer's digest for Dry Land. It just started recently, and can be found at...

    Branstorming for ENnies 2003 -- improvements, changes, etc

    Wow! You get back from GenCon and a fire storm is brewing. From a "small publisher's" point of view, here is how I see it. BTW, this isn't a company statement, just my own opinion. I want to directly compete with WOTC. If all you want to be is a small fish, then having WOTC lined up against...

    Is buy.com honoring it's $14 price for ELH?

    As of 12:28 EST, the price is still up on buy.com's site. It is real. I had mine shipped (for free) and the price was $13.82. Don't ask any questions...just get it. Jim Govreau

    The DM's burden

    I always used to DM...always...and also ran a character / npc. I actually let one of the other players run my character, but he was mine, so I wouldn't let them kill him just to be cute. I had great players who wanted to run a dungeon or two, but nothing more. Once someone had something that...

    Redesigning and re-branding EN World

    Morrus, Please don't change the name. As far as publishers go, I think that it is real important that what is going on with us is presented to the fans. I look for this every time I come on, just to see who is doing what. Does this mean I want you to post all of our press releases? Of...

    Gaming catchphrases, expressions, and idioms--what are yours?

    A few old ones: Save the cleric! Our party, while very powerful, was small and always in need of healing. The cleric even started wearing the Red Cross as his sign. ..... We once fell into a river. The dwarf's descent, who was wearing full plate and completely loaded down, was described as...

    [MEG-TG PR] The eye of the Storm

    I can not speak for the entire entity, but I still want to continue the THG relationship with the FANCC. Even though Doug zapped us with his eye ray, he still allowed us to retain our own unique flavor. I will bring this up and hopefully have an answer soon. Jim Govreau Director of...

    Bluffside

    That one gave us fits. You completely detail out every NPC and you have to cut then in thirds. We settled on giving everywhere form a few lines to a paragraph about each NPC in the POIs and create complete stat blocks for them all. Hope everyone is as happy with them as we are. Jim Govreau...

    Bluffside

    That was something that we struggled with. It is easy to make up a town with a few NPCs, but a city, really, is a collection of people. And, if anyone hasn't noticed, making NPCs is HARD in 3e. So we felt that giving the GM many NPCs would just make his job a little easier. Jim Govreau COO...

    I didn't like Bluffside. But I didn't read it, either!

    Ok, now that is something we can agree on. I loved the City State of the Invincible Overlord. I know I ran parties in it as early as 1982 or so and loved it. On one night of Dungeons and Drunkards (as we called it), the party started out in the city, left through the gates near the graveyard...

    I didn't like Bluffside. But I didn't read it, either!

    In reality, I think that Bluffside, Freeport, and Geanevue will all do quite well. Of course, WOTCs version of doing well is very different from the smaller d20 publishers. I can't for the life of me see how three very good cities won't sell. Cities are always in need and will be bought...

    The Next big thing...

    I think that Hal meant that their are certainly rules changes coming out in the Epic book. If they are not open gaming, then d20 publishers, like us, cannot use them. Subsequently, we would be forced to do as you said, take the rules as they stand and adjust them. The downside to that is that...

    Which city supplement should I buy?

    Hey, if we are going far afield here, then look up the old Judges Guild City State of the Invincible Overlord . A cool map and a pamphlet of about 20 pages, if my memory serves me right. I loved that old city, although you had to completly work it up. I wonder where my copy is now... Jim...

    I didn't like Bluffside. But I didn't read it, either!

    Since I was the main writer in charge of Bluffside, I may as well jump in on this thread. First of all, I find it hard to lend much credence to any review of a product that has not been read by the reviewer. As I read all of the reviews through EN World and many other sites, I have found out...

    Who was your first RPG Charcater and what ever happened to him/her

    My first character was basic D&D (circa 1978). His name was Walnd and he was "only" a fighter. After over 20 years of gaming, he has followed me across the country numerous times and has been played in three other countries. He encountered everything from Odin to Darth Vader to Asmodeus...

    Bluffside in my hands

    Althought exact dates for each store are unavailable, I am sure that Bluffside will be available within the next week or two, at the latest, in your favorite store. We have already sent out pre-sale copies that were purchased on-line from us, starting last Saturday. I am confident that...

    Bluffside in my hands

    Please check the WOTC website for the errata that comes out after a product from someone who is not a "d20 guy" is released to the public. They have the vast resources to spend tens of thousands of dollars both in creating and editing all of their products, and yet they still make mistakes. I...
