Folks, This is one of the more interesting and well discussed threads I have ever come across. I don't blame any of you if you don't believe me but really this *is* one of the things we hoped would come about because of this product. There are things in the book that are evil acts by anyones...

Even if it were to be the best seller of the year it will not effect how we make our main line products (they will be no more or less "edgy" then they have ever been). On the other hand if it does sell extremely well we may follow it up with another product next year. But no more than one. AV

No, I am not be Ironic. You said: So by this I assume that you are in favor of the DM presenting evil dispacable villains to be overcome by the heroic PC's. Unless I am desperately misunderstanding what you are saying. Allow me to quote the opening of the BoVD: So given your statement and...

So, by this post I assume you are in favor of BoVD? AV

Actually I am feeling a bit under the weather. But on the plus side I have my annual physical tommorrow from my physician - Dr. Tammy Towers (how's that for a name?) AV

Folks, About five years of a rare Indonesian style called Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen (a form of Penjat Silat). As far as I know there are three places one can learn it in America - Orleans, MA, Portland, OR and Seattle WA. No really interest in taking it up again. It was rather hard on my body...

All, My picks... 1) BoVD I've seen the pre-press - it gorgeous. Monte has done his usual sterling work on the rules. 2) d20 Modern. Also a great looking book and will be supported by a wide variety of cool products from a wide variety of companies. 3) d20 Delta Green - I'm a Cthulhu goob and...

Folks, I have more than a few sources in a variety of high and low places. I have not heard anything about GW buying either novels or RPGs. Its not impossible (in the world of business nothing is impossible) but it is very unlikely and here is why.... 1) Right now the two most profitable...

Currently there is no planned change in the schedule. I will be revamping it to make sure we can hit all of our deadlines. I believe we can but I also believe in double checking. More. Some of you might want to see this as an opportunity to get work from WotC. You will want to have some history...

I know we have been saying "soon" for a while now but this time I can say we have a person devoted to it. So this time - soon means real soon. Keep checking, spells should go up anytime now. AV

Hey now, remember - when you use the word beancounter you have to use the name Anthony Valterra in the same sentence. We are not faceless. We have families, and are gamers, and are raising kids, go to cons and last week went to burning man. Real people here. AV:D

As a Hasbro employee I can neither endorse nor discourage this idea. However, just as a note of fact, our market research indicates that there are approximately 2 million active D&D players. AV

Its characterizations of me, like this, that just make my day. AV

DONE!!!!! Folks, I did it. read all of my assigned submissions! Hoody-hoo! Now, its off to Gencon. When I get back I will pull my top ten, we will all meet, and pick the final ten. So while I am at GenCon, if you see me, please feel free to throw money. I'll be the one hunched over from too...

Hmmm.... some good ideas in there. AV

I'm not quite halfway. Have really really caught my eye and would make a good campaign setting? About 2-3 dozen. But remember I'm not the only one reading. AV

Folks, If you haven't bought it yet, here's your chance. If you have buy one for a friend. It might be a mistake but word is they are honoring the price. http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=30887723&loc=106 AV

Folks, Just wanted to say a few words about the submissions. 1) The number of "unreadable" submissions is very low (less than 1%). 2) The vast majority (probably 80%) are very solid and are equal to most of the settings already on the market. 3) There are a number that are outstandingly...

Thanks Sean, Thanks I appreciate it. Just so you all know Sean was one of the guys I was the most excited to meet when i started working here at WotC. Av

Re: Margins... stupid. Except we are talking about RPGs - a game - not novels. In the novel area you are correct - but even there you can target novel lines that are not making their margins. On the RPG end we can predict within 10% what a product will do. If we say we are going to sell 100...
