    Need a quick critique on two covers...

    Regarding the second-- I agree with Herreman, the font used is a little bit indistinct, especially the "P" in "Pulp". At first glance, I thought it read "Gulp". Looks like you used Berliner? The capitals are a tick tough to make out. Maybe use English Towne, it's very similar (especially...

    Who would you pick to design Fourth Edition?

    This makes me do the happy dance. As long as EGG gets to write the actual prose used for every single book.

    Which illustrator's work would you like to see in gaming?

    Color me nuts, but I'd like to see a book with the artwork all done in styles like this: http://www.mystudios.com/treasure/munch/munch-scream.jpg or http://www.uni-leipzig.de/ru/bilder/kindjes/greco01.jpg or http://kelty.rice.edu/375/images/prudence-titian.jpg

    How do you pronounce Graz'zt?

    Agreed, but with more of an "ahhhhh" sound form the vowel. Kind of "Graahhzdt" with a little extra "I'm sooooo evil" breathing behind the enunciation.

    Midnight 2.0 PDF on sale now...for $50!!!!

    Maybe it's my misunderstanding, but nowadays, aren't most .pdfs created before the book is actually printed, and are in fact the actual source of the master copies sent to the printer?

    Worst RPG System You Ever Palyed?

    YES YES YES YES YES! I still have this one on my game shelf. The rule books were organized in sections like 3.4.12.12.2. Remember also, you had different experience levels for every single spell you had, every single weapon, and had sliding attribute scales so what you rolled wasn't necessarily...

    White Wolfs pay to play deal...

    I don't think it's half as bad as most people are calling it. It's not mandatory, but all donations accepted. ;)

    Inside the bottom level of a WWII-era Japanese communications bunker, using a battery-powered lantern for light.

    Parental advice needed

    What's worked well for my 5-year-old is to not hide things from him. That way he isn't unnaturally attracted to things he shouldn't be. But he definitely knows that he isn't supposed to touch them, and he knows why-- because he could hurt himself. So far, that seems to have been sufficient to...

    In all my 22 years of gaming...

    I once DM'd a party of 7 characters that encountered a TPK in the first encounter of the campaign. They were absolutely slaughtered by a pack of 6 kobolds. It wasn't even close. 5 kobolds survived. The mage in the party decided to, instead of actually, you know, CASTING A SPELL (he had sleep...

    Whisky for my men, beer for my horses!

    Naah, Rangers, man. TEXAS Rangers.

    When I die, bury me with my dice!

    Before I die, I'll swallow a whole bag of dice, then donate my body to OHSU medical school. I just wish I could see the look on the faces when they're cutting me open.

    How high have you started?

    I just see it as... taking away some of the accomplishment if you start higher than first. Those are the formative levels for characters that kind of determine where the character is headed. Starting them higher with a story about how they got that way just seems like the easy way out.

    Need an obscure reference

    It's not in the print version, either. And in my copy, that entire page is double-printed, offset a little vertically. Are other copies like that?

    Need help with elf name

    Am I the only person odd enough to think that Evander Holyfield would be a good elven name?

    Where (In what) do you store your dice?

    I use a wooden chess board. It's a travel chess board that opens up to play, but folds in half and locks to hold the pieces. It's split into 2 sides, velvet lines. One side I can use to hold all my dice when playing, the other side is about 8" by 6" velvet-lined rolling area. The chess pieces...

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    A skeleton if I remember correctly, as a human cleric.
