I have to disagree. It was obviously the pact (and the failure of Lord Havendash to complete the pact) that allowed Death to alter the forces of nature in favor of undeath. (The only thing I would change about the pact is the price for immortality. Instead of the tired old "soul" trade, Death...

That's where Guilds come to play. The Guilds monopolize trade, and the Guilds hold considerable authority in city governments. Guilds regulate standards of quality in merchandise made and sold by their members, and penalties are invoked for "inferior merchandise". They issue marks to indicate...

I see. I wasn't saying all Chaotic characters were irresponsible, I was saying that frequently irresponsible characters are Chaotic (as defined by the PHB). edit: The Ranger could easily choose to resist the addiction like the Paladin, but her motivations will likely be another personal choice...

Because the primary duty of being "Lawful" is measuring your own self using external standards, whereas being "Chaotic" allows a character to define morality for his or her self: "Chaos" implies freedom, adaptability, and flexibility. On the downside, chaos can include recklessness, resentment...

Well, ork children are one thing, but I meant human, elven, dwarven widows, orphans, etc made when characters slay bandits, soldiers and the like. Many widows of pirates and warlords may be grateful to have a new handsome, Lawful-Good husband that won't beat them if dinner is slow to the table...

It may make things unpleasant for the guilty character, but not his comrades. When that barmaid from 12 sessions past brings in the quarter-ork twins, his partners have a great time! (They've got your eyes, Gorach!) As far as orphaned kids go, that's how many of my characters get their...

Well put! If you wish to have a more "mature" game, add consequence. If a character kills a humanoid, odds are the humanoid had humanoid relatives, or the humanoid's society has rules. Killing becomes more than an activity when consequences are applied. If a character steals and gets caught...

In the Kaiser Bazaar - Book A, I handled similar animals by stating the 'base animal' (or referencing the Monster Manual), then made modifications for each breed: Newfoundland (Riding): Descended from the Viking "bear-dogs", this is a popular breed of the northern coast. Their feet are webbed...

Don't forget shipwrecks! Dragons could easily salvage the lost cargo from sunken ships. Good Dragons near the coast may also attack pirates or evil warships that venture too close, collecting stolen trade goods, swag, and/or valuable armaments.

That's a good post for the DM's board. Experience has taught me to make Magic Items hard to buy, sell, and produce, and make Alchemical Items easy to buy and produce and hard to sell. A wooden match is a convenience that doesn't unbalance a game horribly, like a Fireball Wand can, but good luck...

New Topic: Future Bazaar Content I try to pack something "fantastic" in all the books, Book C is no exception. (You'll find a dozen or so weird timbers and dozens of strange metals) But yes, I can see where fans of Book B would find the "Nightmarket" more attractive. I thought you wanted a...

Fair enough! (You're going to want it, hehe :cool: ) It would help me make the hard sell to other customers if I knew what you are looking for from Books A & B. Is it the item lists, or is it the flavor? Aiming for a Late-July to Mid-August release, but nothing is certain yet. Your...

Yes, but TSR (read Lorraine Williams) was notorious for spending money it didn't have instead of finding good deals (Remember the fancy Savage Coasts boxed-set with the CD? Big $$$). Towards the end, TSR was taking a loss on everything for the same reasons.

Now first off, thank-you for choosing the Kaiser's Bazaar as your first purchase! I noticed you have A & B, have you tried Kaiser's Bazaar - Book C? Cheap plug? Yes, I am a whore! Secondly, work has started on a compilation of books A-C for print. It will be a reworking of the original, new art...

Does anyone miss the old Boxed Sets from TSR and/or other companies? If so, do you miss the utility, or is it just the nostalgia kicking in?

Why DRM Sucks Why DRM Sucks: is the DRM glass half full, or half empty? The Experience is Unsatisfying Even the best DRM technology takes away some capabilities from the consumer; it is a business issue, not a technology one, to give consumers something in exchange. The Requirements for DRM...

All I did was ask questions. The victim routine won't work here. You show a place where I insulted you or put words in your mouth, and I will apologize. The fact that your terms aren't available for review is a sign of collusion. Legal collusion, perhaps, but collusion. You use the same...

I'll take it as a speculation of someone who has zero experience with pdf publishing. :D It requires only 30 minutes to setup a commercial Paypal account. It takes one dedicated human being less than eight hours to Paypal Mass-Pay, once a month. It takes one dedicated human being less than 24...

How about the covers? Is it like RPGNow's, or is it glossy, 4-color, etc?
