    What's the Deal with GriefCom?

    Some vendors get better pricing than others based off of volume. This is a common and perfectly legitimate way of doing business. It encourages people to buy more. If a store knows they can get an additional 5% off by buying X quantity, they will do it. You make your money on the volume...

    The Knock On effect and Complexity Complaints

    I think ultimately it depends on WHY you are changing the rules in the first place. If you have a legitimate reason based on your vision of your game, then you'll be able to tweek rules to suit your campaign without throwing things out of kilter. If you are changing rules just because you...

    WoD-style virtues and vices for action points

I miss the Setites, of course, but there is nothing to stop me from making my own Setite bloodline (as they were so kind as to provide complete rules for making your own bloodlines.) And the virtues and vices was a nice...

    You can tell when it's game night...

    What's the Deal with GriefCom?

    How about because Wizards is also paying copy editors, proof readers, illustrators, warehouse employees, truck drivers, office support staff, marketing people, sales people, and dozens of others. And let's not forget that the book sellers have clerks and staff that need to get paid. And oh...

    What's the Deal with GriefCom?

    Can I speak as a publisher who actually has books for sale on Amazon? The price that Amazon pays for a book has ZERO to do with the royalty payment to an author. Royalty payments are calculated based on a set price as defined in the contract. In fiction, this is normally a percentage of the...

    Skills That Should be Handy for an Adventurer...But Aren't in Actual Play.

    Use Magic Device is the most pointless, unless your rogue is willing to sacrifice his open lock, disable device, search, etc skills to spend enough points in it to make it useful. And then it is one of the more convoluted skills to use rule-wise. Swim is VERY valuable, and all my players...

    Rapid POD Printing, Inc. wants to print your books!!!

    Oh, I agree wholeheartedly that you should get a sample before doing business, but the sample is not the end-all, be-all. Particularly when instead of answering your questions the prospective vendor just ignores the concerns and says he'll send a sample. Producing a sample and meeting a...

    Rapid POD Printing, Inc. wants to print your books!!!

    I'm not interested in a sample. A sample means diddly, as anyone can produce a great, single sample. My concern is reliability and turnaround time. If I need 100 copies of something by X date, what guarantees do I have that you will meet that timeline? What happens if you don't? What does...
