Stonehenge Which is a nice segue to what I heard on the radio today: "If true, that makes Stonehenge the biggest pus*y in Europe....next to France." Viva la France! Paul

I don't think he's rolling well; he's not rolling at all. It's not possible (unless you have a house rule) for a 3.0 Ranger 1/Rogue 3 with a 14 Con to have 47 hit points. Hell, it's impossible for a 3.0 Ranger 1/Rogue 4 with a 14 Con to have 47 hit points (without the Toughness feat, which did...

another slot? Kevin, I mostly lurk at EN World, but if you don't mind that and play a game I'm familiar with (any d20), I'd love a spot. Especially since I ran my players through "Of Sound Mind" and dug it. I've got a book signing at 10:00AM on Friday but am free anytime after that.

Oops. I see the DNW thread below. Ignore.

Revised edition is out. Has anyone played it? How would you rate it? Paul

I see that Revison 1.1 for DNW has been released. Any views on this? The material looks comprehensive, but I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with playing the system, and if so, how you would rate it. I'd like to run a supers campaign at some point, and, since all of my players are...

Against the Cult of the Reptile God.

Ah, you beat me to it. Curse you! Miller's book is highly recommended. I actually had Professor Miller for a class in law school called "Blood Feuds." Great class. Involved the study of Icelandic sagas and, of course, his book. Paul

Not me. My editor has been open to my proposals and ideas, and I have always exercised essentially complete creative control (which is why I think my stuff pushes the maturity envelope at WoTC). He's also a hell of a guy and a hell of a good editor. Any changes that he's proposed have...

Quality of Gaming Fiction While I'm admittedly biased in this regard, here's my two cents on the subject. I'm forced to acknowledge that there *is* bad gaming fiction. Back in the day, TSR put out some novels that are *generously* characterized as bad. Those books and the people behind the...

I appreciate the good words, NiTessine. Thanks. I'm always surprised by how quickly readers dismiss RPG fiction as poorly written -- and often on the basis of a fairly small sample of books they've read. It's nice to see someone stand-up for them. While I'm forced to admit that some RPG...

It is discouraging, isn't it? I think the world suffers from an unfortunate overpopulation of frightened boys masquerading as men who try to make themselves feel better by seizing on these pathetic petty "successes." Or they could just be jackasses. Paul

All, Anyone aware of a review of the Traveller d20 hardcover? Anyone using it yet? I'd like some feedback on its quality and playability before I put out the coin. Paul

Tom, Normally I don't speak to these kinds of posts, because in the end, whether a person likes a book or not is a subjective evaluation. Still, because I am a WoTC author (albeit a relatively new one), I thought I'd at least respond to a couple of points. First, in general, the authors...

Hey All, Is Traveller d20 out yet? If so, has anyone seen or reviewed the materials? I'm searching high and low for a quality d20 Sci-Fi game. so if anyone has any other suggestions, please sound off. Paul

I also recall a most excellent article that appeared in an early Dragon entitled "The Politics of Hell." It did not have game stats for any of the arch-devils (as those were in the 1ed MM anyway) except for Satan. Very cool article though. It also appeared in the first "Best of Dragon," the...

Hi all, My group is starting off an OA style campaign. We've got the OA hardcover and AEG's Rokugan sourcebook, but I'm wondering if there are any other resources (whether books or internet) that others have found useful in gaming in Rokugan or OA generally. Paul Kemp
