    Palladium Announces Collapse of Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter

    Kickstarter creators still have obligations. Backers can ask for refunds if what they backed is not delivered. And if not refunded, they can, and honestly should, sue. It has happened in the past and backers have won hand down those situations.

    Defend the Realm! Support our Troops! Play some games! New 5E Charity Humble Bundle Launched!

    Usually, at least illustrators, artists and editors are not paid in royalties, they were paid for a commission of work when the book was created and that's the end. Not 100% what's the case for writers in the RPG industry though.

    Defend the Realm! Support our Troops! Play some games! New 5E Charity Humble Bundle Launched!

    I'm pretty sure the issue is FGG, not the charity.

    Robot Wars: Transformers vs. Robotech vs. BattleTech

    I think the first one is a Locust and the third one a Shadow Hawk. And yes, this lawsuit is pure BS from HG. Seriously, those three mechs and the three images they posted side by side don't look any similar at all...

    Frank Mentzer's Worlds of Empyrea Kickstarter to be Rebooted!

    Sadly his answer just shows that he doesn't understand Kickstarter. Most people don't have an unlimited budget, so they have to choose what to back, and of course they are going to back projects that have more information, from people with solid KS credentials, that look more professional and...

    Frank Mentzer's Worlds of Empyrea Kickstarter to be Rebooted!

    Well, he created something amazing in the past, but his Kickstarter credentials are zero. And the bar right now for RPGs in Kickstarter that are asking 5 figures or more is very high. Check for example Forbidden Lands (another fantasy Kickstarter that recently funded). Their page gives much more...

    Frank Mentzer's Worlds of Empyrea Kickstarter to be Rebooted!

    The first round it looked rushed, and this second round it looks rushed again :( I don't understand this when they have in theory so much talent on the team...

    Take Your D&D Adventures Into The Realms Of Middle-earth

    The adventures the have published so far for The One Ring are excellent, so I wouldn't be worried about this.

    AMA: Richard Baker, author of lots of stuff!

    Hi Rich, thanks a lot for the answer! Take this as my personal experiences/opinions, I'm sure other people differ (and A.NET has a lot of great ideas for some of these issues): - I like that the step-difficulty with dice as modifiers and that a single roll produces different type of successes...

    AMA: Richard Baker, author of lots of stuff!

    And about Birthright. Do you think AD&D 2e was a good fit for Birthright or were the setting domain mechanics constrained by the AD&D rules? Do you think any current RPG fits with Birthright domain level rules/gameplay specially well?

    AMA: Richard Baker, author of lots of stuff!

    A huge fan of Alternity and Birthright here: 1) Have you ever thought about coming back to Alternity? 2) What would you change/improve if you could do Alternity 2e?

    Self Publishing: What's An Artist Worth?

    Btw, talking about free art or public domain art, it is worth noting that Kevin Crawford, creator of Stars without Number and other OSG inspired games, makes all his art usable for other publishers as part of his stretch goals on Kickstarter. He just achieved that stretch goal with his latest...

    Self Publishing: What's An Artist Worth?

    That's a list of stock art websites (or public domain art), not of artists offering stock art. Most of them don't group art by artist either (which is kind of useful).

    Self Publishing: What's An Artist Worth?

    I was really interested on: 3) for the publisher really scraping for money, there are several good artists out there that offer stock illustration. Sure, the art won't be uniquely yours, but it's better than to cheat an artist out of a living wage. Is there more information about this? A...
