    On binders with laminated pages: I think I can hazard a guess as to the expense of such a project since the HM GM Shield is laminated and 32 pages and required some assembly. My guess is that a full-color 128 page binder product that was laminated, hole punched and shipped with dry-erase...

    Kalamar Players handbook Overview!

    <<We Hackmaster players have come to know and love the d10,000. I've also seen it in Invasion of Arun'kid and I'm glad its making its transition into further KoK products. Kenzer came up with a really good way to have a huge random encounter list for each reason while still being able to scale...

    Game Pricing

    Oh, and one more thing. There'd be no need to raise the price of current RPG products to give designers the higher salaries. All that would be needed is for half the d20 products and companies to disappear. If KenzerCo or Mongoose or FFG went under, we'd leave a void that others could fill...

    Game Pricing

    I guess the theory goes like this: If most products were priced higher, gamers would have to choose between products and only the strongets would get enough sales to survive. the weaker writers/companies would die out leaving only the cream of the crop. The cream then sells more volume and...

    My 2 cents: 1) You guys are consumers. Your job is to consume what you feel like consuming and let the non-worthy die on the vine. Those that remain (that you bought from) will continue to make product that you'll probably like (since you bought from the before). If you buy a product and...

    (PR Review) Kok Deathright

    <<Somewhere, locked away in an asylum where nobody will ever find him, a Kenzer author is wrapped in a straightjacket, gibbering madly and trying to slam his head into the padded walls hard enough to knock out his eyes. The random encounter table utilizes a d10,000!!!!!!!!!!! Whoever...

    Kalamar Campaign

    If you plan to run the coin trilogy, I recommend using the RumourQuest encounter system in Geanavue. there's a rumor pack specifically for Root. It's a lot kewler to let your party piece together rumors and decide to head out for the quest. Dave

    The main problem I have with Kenzer's Geanavue

    <<When anyone discusses Kalamar or Kalamar products, it always seems to me that there are two categories of gamers: ones who want ready-made conflicts and situations; and those who want a setting for conflicts and situations they create. The former will be disappointed, while the latter will...

    I Want a d20 DM Shield Like the One for HackMaster!

    Well, I doubt anyone will make the same kind of screen for D20, 'cept us. Mostly, it's a cost issue (we're morons that way...we try to stick to our cost structures and get proper margin, but with this one we clearly lost it and went overboard). The screens are gawd-awful expensive, even at...

    HackMaster GM Shield - You GOTTA See This!

    <<They stole my GM screen idea A couple of years ago, I created something pretty similar, it was huge, had fold down screens and was covered in plastic.>> No WAY!! Please tell me you never offered it for sale and kept it secret/non-public. I'd hate to see our patent filings go *poof*.
