Section 6.1 is interesting. Am I understanding this correctly? Publishers are free to convert OGL material to GSL material. This was expected. Once they convert a product, or a product line, from OGL to GSL, they can sell old physical stock, but must cease sales of non-physical stock...

Personal opinion - you would definitely prefer the revised over the original. I only say that because the revised has the errata as well as the content from the companion books, at the expense of the sample settings. Based on what I know of you, from EN World postings, you will have no...

Assuming the pricing model hasn't changed too much in the last decade or so... Wholesale/Distribution costs will be about 52% of list price. That equates to a 48% discount from list price. To acquire that discount level, you just need to purchase sufficient quantity. Amazon is able to buy...

I'm not sure there is an easy answer to these questions. True20 can do dungeon crawls, sure. But it won't feel like D&D. I'm not sure you can design a gratifying meat grinder dungeon style adventure in True20. It just works differently since you don't have the pressures of grinding down...

We are here in Massachusetts! OK, we were in Massachusetts hours ago. Eeralai posted her story from Worchester when we snarfed some wi-fi while looking for a place to grab dinner. I did my best to encourage the kids to give her time to finish it up. In retrospect, I probably would have...

I think there should be a couple of changes! :) General will always have cycles. Right now, General moves slowly because there is much more traffic in the 4E forum. But I think it will begin to pick back up after June. Especially if you guys merge the 4E forum into General! I do agree...

Depending on how the players run through it, and how lucky/unlucky they are, they can easily be done in 4 hours. :) Seriously, WPM was originally designed for one shots. Pregen characters, a simple hook, a mix of puzzles and grind, heck - you don't even get to keep the cool items, with the...

Abso-frickin-lutely! That is one of the great things about these writing contests. It is possible for a "rookie" to win. The folks that have competed several times have a lot of practice, and practice definitely helps! But a strong competitor can come out of anywhere.

I hope you enjoy the system. It really is a toolkit approach and has a lot of capability. Building a cross-genre campaign should be very workable. Good luck and good gaming!

We are leaving in just a bit under 16 hours. Not sure how much net access we will have after we leave. :) But if anybody has anything to add, I would appreciate it!

We leave for Massachusetts in about 16 hours from the time of this post. For the next couple of days, we will try to hit the site if we can find wi-fi internet access. Once we stop travelling, we should be able to find something out there. One of us will post once we have some idea of...

Absolutely! I'd recruit more if I felt it necessary. ;) We have had a lot of NM folks over the years.

I'm not quite sure how to interpret "much". :) There are a lot more consequences for combat in True20. But it plays well for many types of games. The core explanations are not as intuitive as they could be. Once you grok how the system works though, it runs reasonably smooth. There are a...

Sorry I missed this before you planned your itinerary. If you are going to be in Santa Fe, you should at least stop to get pictures of the San Miguel Chapel in Santa Fe. It is the oldest church in America, which ought to give you a little giggle since it isn't quite 400 years old. What...

Greylock, hit the True20 website to see products and get to the forums, etc. Though, the quickstart rules might be what you are really looking for.

The one big (huge in some people's minds) change is the damage save. You don't track hit points. You don't roll damage. Everybody has a damage save and when damage is done, you roll a new save - the toughness save. Depending on how you do at that, you may shrug it off as a minor scrape or...

I play in one game that will almost assuredly continue in 3.5. Since the core rules won't include the equivalents of the Druid, Monk and Bard, we would have 60% of the group that would have difficulties converting. The fact that even third parties won't be able to address that gap until...

Traffic is a nuisance. I already expect bad traffic. Actually, I have never heard any stories about Boston traffic that were good! I've driven in DC, LA, San Fran, Atlanta, D/FW, and Houston. None of those is particularly appealing, to be honest. But I tend to keep my head well. :)...

You are certainly correct on this! But I am not relying solely on a rubber band trip through the area to help me determine if I like it. I have a close friend that lived up there for a year while doing contract work. I have another friend that lives just a little further north, in the...

We have seen some very long stories! Sialia cranked out some immensely long tales under these timelines. It was after her stories that we started bantering about the ideas of word limits. That was mostly to make it easier on the judges. Personally, I prefer to refrain from hard limits. If...
