I hate hate hate spoiler tags. I'm lazy and I find them bothersome. I dont mind warnings in the thread title - easy enough to avoid. I don't even mind spoilers used for plot elements - I can understand the goal. I hate posts with 52 spoiler tags, each holding precisely 4 lines of data. The...

I think gamers tend to readers and doers. More properly I think there is a temptation for gaming as Simulation that actually frowns on the improbable actions of players. Whats the point in building a cohesive view of all the wizards, their magic specialties, and familiars in the Forgotten Realms...

I really like this idea. Good choice

Thanks so much for these tutorials - I'll definitely buy your book too. Sigurd

Harn Material is a generous and really wonderful source. Many of the free Harn publications are more lovingly made than some of the D20 publications that you have to buy. The historic perspective and low magic setting for Harn is genuine and fairly universal amongst the products. Considering...

Just got mine. THANKS! Gotta love Rolemaster goodness! sigurd.

3.5? Was it updated to 3.5? Any other changes? Sigurd

.... You can leave the house....?

The kingdom of Dassan - if thats what you mean by the 'first map' is (exported from the pdf) 8.777 x 10 inches at 300 dpi. I think you have to examine how you are working with the graphics and the pdf. I have no slices, unless you mean that 'Dassan' is a slice of the continent map from WotBS 1...

In a game where weapon damage is so abstracted, where head protection isn't, and where a little experience actually makes you able to laugh off the affects of a dagger attack you can only ask for so much realism. It's not RAW Sigurd's rule: (assuming you need sleep) You dont sleep = you're...

I love the tutorials thank you. If I have any constructive criticism it is only that you should consciously speak clearly and a little slower when you say your website name. You, of course, are super comfortable with the phrase and I think you rush it, ahead of the ears of your viewers. I...

You can't get around it. DM's do way more work than players. DM's clean up after players and fix the world again so the game can continue. We worry about whether the players are having a good time and keep the story going. It's often a thankless job and more expensive to boot. If that turns...

A simple gauge might be to ask yourself: do (did) dragon magazine readers look forward to the various fiction pieces included in the magazine. Personally, I always thought they were an item in the way of the game material.

I can't think of any instances of packaging an RPG product with a book. My gut reaction is that you would hurt the appeal of the product. Leaving aside the issue of the geekyness of rpgs, I think a majority of readers don't game (so you'd hurt the books appeal) and many gamers are not...

Novice to Master by Heathen Oracle Its Obscure, but excellent - and cheap! Heathen Oracle has a pdf called Novice to Master. They have a Bounty Hunter class that is the best I've seen. Sigurd

The very sad thing is that availability really limits people's experience. Even if you don't agree with Whizbang, and for the record I have to say I do agree, the vast majority of gamers will never see competing published works unless they are hardcore or very persistent. Compared to 20 years...

I don't think WOTC stuff is important but I have to say they are consistently a good bang for the buck if you buy them right. Sure the book price is sometimes high but compared to a lot of 3rd party publications they're huge. And if you consider that they are basically the only game system...

Looking at it from the outside that still seems really generous. -- Sigurd

Hope the trip went well. Hope things are a little nicer for you when you return. Sigurd

How much home brew do you collect? Just counting the "unofficial" monsters you have downloaded from the internet, from various posts or whatever, how many different D20 monsters do you estimate you have? Include 3rd and 3.5 editions. How do you store them ? Are they organized in a word...
