    best 1st level psionic powers?

    I'd like to say "thanks" for this little thread. I'm playing in an Eberron game and am seriously considering a Psion. Having no great experience with the XPH, some of the little snipits provided here have been extremely helpful. Keep 'em coming and where the "best discipline powers" poll and...

    Notes from Green Ronin seminar

    I think you're mistaking a 3-5 year business plan and "master strategy" with being a small publisher (in relationship to Wizards/WW) and being nimble to the market trends. It wasn't that long ago AEG was playing with licensed products (Farscape, Stargate) and dual-statting books...

    A Whole Bunch of Zombie RPG Questions

    News Flash: Gamer's Righteous Fury sticks it "to the man" for releasing a sourcebook he doesn't like! Entire line invalidated and in chaos! Film at 11! [/sarcasm] Get over yourself. All Flesh is the best one out there. Here's an idea...skip the wrestling sourcebook! :confused:

    Shareware the Pirates?

    It won't work. It's just the nature of piracy. Secondly, unless you're giving away the PDF to begin with and disable its functionality at some point unless you pay, you're not doing the shareware concept...this is more a variation of "Guilt ware." If there was a way to annoy them with the text...

    If Steve used the USPS Media Rate (and he probably did, it's the cheapest), you can plan on waiting something like 4-6 weeks. It takes forever. I did this once with some RPG books for a fellow in the UK and it took something close to 2 months.

    The PDF Review Project

    You might want to consider a few. Dude, that was just painful to read. It's like some weird stream of consciousness from the hive mind. :) Oh, and if you've never seen an out-your-ass RPG.net review, of which there are tons, then you must have just discovered the Internet yesterday. ;) Onto...

    Do you like D&D?

    "The results of which shall be used against you in future discussions." :D

    "I hate math"

    (This is not directed at RFisher specifically.) I get weary of this de facto response that "well, it must be the DM" that conveniently crops up nearly anytime someone has problem with 'X' game. Is there truly no allowance that some games are inherently more complex than others and that some...

    Help with a player constantly changing characters

    Ding! Without knowing the particulars of the campaign, this guy appears to be either working through his individual character dramas or, and more likely, wants to be the center of attention. Essentially, long, detailed backgrounds tend to be the first signpost that a player expects his...

    "I hate math"

    You, dear sir, are right on target. When I run D&D I do everything I can to be "fair." That means following the rules for all the players. That also means being consistent and ensuring that the NPCs and monsters also follow the rules. Not because I'm a slave to the rules, mostly because D&D is...

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    My Stargate SG-4 (d20 Modern) game just ended, but here's the group layout as we move into Eberron. 1.) How many players in your group? Four, soon to be five. 2.) Do you DM? Yes, just finished. Am playing in the next game. 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? To my knowledge, only...

    Helping out The Mad Irishman

    Two big thumbs up for Patrick. I've had the good fortune to work with Patrick several years ago (alas, not lately) -- before he became famous and all that with his D&D sheets ;) -- so this is certainly a worthy cause. His Trek sheets were a big inspiration for my future Coda ones. I'll check...

    What keeps you from going to GenCon?

    I'm used to going for free. Of the six GenCons I've been to, I've paid for none. :) Of course, I was working the entire Con, but even "working" at a convention (either at the booth, demoing games, or coordinating events) is pretty low-key/high fun. So, honestly, I'm not sure what it is that I'd...

    Opinions from the Pros

    Ah ah! I knew the name sounded familiar! ("I never forget a face...Mister Chekov?") :D At least one of us has heard of Adam. :) Anyhow, to suggestions, essentially your best bet is to put together a good business plan and pitch it to a publisher as to why they should pursue the license in...

    What do you wish was made into a game?

    Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy trilogy and forthcoming Kushiel's Scion. I'd give anything for that. Heck, I'd consider starting up my own publishing company to do it. :p I haven't seen "Blue Rose," as that's the closest approximation, I'd wager. It's just that using d20 for Kushiel just...

    The Secret of Zir'An

    It was for me, unfortunately. Printing errors aside, that was a pretty huge layout faux pas. I flipped through SoZ at the FLGS and had to toss it back on the shelf, clawing my eyes out. :) Second printing, anyone? I must say, you guys are being surprisingly accomidating to a new poster who's...

    Ramble - design inspiration that comes too late

    Yep, functionally it is the same. I thought the same thing upon reading. Honestly, if I wanted such a system, I'd probably be playing RM anyway. :) (Sorry, not thread-crapping; just professing my love of RM. We RM players are a rare breed.) :)
