    [GU] The White Tankard-City Streets

    Boy, Does It Ever Suck Not Getting Paid!

    Neal is a stand-up guy. Dark Quest is a small company but has always been fair and honest in my experience. I am saddened that someone working with them might have reflected poorly on them. The fact that he paid you despite paying for the work already is a sign of his honesty and fairness...

    Worst/Most Ridiculous Gaming Experience Within a Homebrew Campaign

    Well, it is hard to describe a homebrew setting and keep a post short. I did add an edit with a little info. Basically, the PCs (and players) KNEW all about the lizardmen and their culture. They knew that a lizardman's status goes up considerably if he catches a human (dwarf, elf, orc, whatever)...

    Worst/Most Ridiculous Gaming Experience Within a Homebrew Campaign

    Hmmm, Well, maybe I am the bad DM, but I was the DM for this one. This was a 1e/2e hybrid game that had actually been going on for quite some time. The PCs run into a tribe of more "modern" lizardman (something they knew they could encounter, it was part of the world) who are clearly pretty...

    Is The Apple OS More Stable Than MS Windows?

    Man, I typed a long reply to this and a couple of other points and the board crashed or something last night and lost it. My experience with photo/video editing on the PC is several years old and I can easily believe that there is much better Windows software out there now. It is a big area for...

    What is it about the GSL that is really a deal breaker?

    Yeah, I thought you guys had already discussed those above. There are so many threads on so many boards about this ... :o Basically, take what you have listed into account and include a reduced level of trust in the "powers that be" at WotC and it is easy to see why established print publishers...

    What is it about the GSL that is really a deal breaker?

    Well, we already have tons of back and forth on this. First, WotC's website does go down, pretty regularly I am afraid, the forums much more often than the DnD pages, but still, it is (was) down when I started reading this thread. That said, I really don't think that has an effect on anything...

    The fate of the Advanced Player's Guide

    Give it Time Hey guys, give Ari a break and some room to maneuver here. Finding a publisher to take a completed manuscript and get it published in a short period of time isn't a trivial pursuit. This is the type of book that is going to require a lot of artwork and good layout to enhance its...

    Is The Apple OS More Stable Than MS Windows?

    Hmmm Okay, this really depends on what you want a computer for. If you are just doing basic "email mom and dad a few pictures" Windows and Mac should both serve you fine and you can probably get a Windows machine cheaper. Here is the issue, in my experience (and this is my experience, everyone...

    Gleemax is Dead

    Gleemax Okay, I am not "dancing in the streets" about it, but really, Gleemax was a decent idea that was so poorly implemented (in my opinion) that I always felt it was doomed to die. Now, honestly, I haven't stopped by since the first horrible ugliness that was Gleemax, but when I did it was...

    GenCon Customer Service

    Does anyone have a direct phone number for GenCon Customer Service? I signed up for GenCon early and then had to TRY to cancel because I can't go this year. Going by the refund rules on the website I should be able to at least get a partial credit. I have sent approximately a half dozen emails...

    GSL & SRD -- Comments, Questions, and Hopes

    That is the way I see it. The problem is, you have no idea what the future will bring. You could create the setting as system independent, and then try to create additional support products with the stats. The question is, if you do that, do those products prevent you from later making...

    GSL & SRD -- Comments, Questions, and Hopes

    I guess my point was that each publisher has to decide this on their own. A majority of the truly vitriolic posts here and on other message boards are not from publishers. Yes, portions of the GSL are not favorable, several publishers are already discussing those with WotC. In the end, it will...
