Exactly my point... except that Green Ronin uses a lot of freelancers from WotC. In many ways this reminds me of the debate from the last couple summer Olympics games. Supposedly the Olympics are for yet-to-be professional athletes, yet the basketball team looks more like an all star NBA team...

Agreed, defining an average company is probably one of the most difficult things about this process. I think the most fair way to do it would be to go off sales. Of course very few or none of these companies are going to disclose their sales stats. Even so, common sense dictates that based on...

There's a bunch of ways to do this, bu the programs you use depend largely on the quality you want to turn out. Technically, you could get away with doing a layout in MS Word. This program has the functionality to format text, place pictures on the page, and even embed images behind text. On the...

First off, its not that I'm biased against WotC (I do work for them, so I truly have the company's best interests at heart), but I am disappointed with this year's results. To make average D20 companies, White Wolf, and WotC play on a level playing field, in my opinion, just isn't fair. Its like...

Not that I totally disagree with you, but $30 is cheap for a software program. In fact, with this program we are effectively getting 95% of the functionality of the 3 core rulebooks for the same price as 1 of them. My personal opinion is that the old Core Rule 2.0 and expansion gave too much...

Well, time to add my $.02. First of all, I get very irritated when people bring their emotions to the table. Now, I'm not a robot, but if you don't like something, a simple "I'm disappointed," or "I don't recommend this," will suffice. If I read through someone panning a product, I want details...

Sadly no. I could be going as a volunteer with WotC, but I didn't plan for childcare in advance, so I can't make it this year. Next year I do plan to be there though. We'll have to meet up some other time.

Hmm... tempting. How many copies would I have to buy to deprive Hal of one? Then I could go into a side business selling copies of Oathbound to people on the black market (to everyone except Hal, that is). Just kidding Hal. You know we like you. :D

Hal, does this poll have anything to do with certain legalities and those purported naked pictures... ? Shudder... :D I'm 29. I'm also an 18 year gaming veteran. I enjoy reading, long hikes, lounging around by the water on warm days, and ... oops, wrong board.

Assuming that picture is in fact the death knight (which I think it is), I think it rocks. Of course I'm also pretty impressed with the pictures that wound up in the 2 Dragon articles. Since death knights crop up occasionally in my campaigns, I plan to scan in those images at some point and use...

2 words: Death Knight!

The nice thing about the Fallout setting is that it has many elements in common with Gamma World. In fact if it were to be compared to D&D, traditional Gamma World would be the Forgotten Realms while Fallout would be more like Greyhawk. I think D20 modern might be a good way to handle the...

Top 10 ways you know that you've made it as a game designer: 10. You can't think of a periodical you haven't been published in, but your name is still recognized only by one guy in Arkansas that really dug your article on chainmail bikini babe specialty feats. 9. Someone has suggested that the...

Call me crazy, but my favorite edition of Gamma World was the Alternity incarnation. As far as I'm concerned, if you start with that book, then replace the game specific rules with Omega World, you have the perfect D20 post apocalyptic set of rules. And I found the humor enjoyable, although I...

That all depends on if you mean the real #92 or the mislabeled #94, which just came out with #92 on the spine. The official internet source is http://www.svgames.com I don't know whether it will be in stock there though, as WotC had a history of selling out of their back issue in a month or...

Oathbound is definitely an inspiring setting, and unlike anything I've seen from TSR/WotC in the past. One thing I like about it - based on what I've seen, it looks like there's going to be long term support for it. Like Ashy, I've done a bit of work on this project myself, and I can't wait...

I agree that this was one of the best adaptations I've seen yet. I initially had reservations about the explorer class, but after reading the mechanics of the class, those concerns were put to rest. Jaults, I know you liked the art, but honestly, thats the one area I wasn't completely thrilled...

I think the idea is great, but you may have a hard time finding a company that wants to produce such a product. Right now, with issue 94 of Dungeon/Polyhedron Magazine, Gamma World comes to D20 with Omega World. That covers mutations and technology in a post apocalyptic setting. Also, in issue...

As one of the sponsors of this project, I want to congratulate the dilligence and creativity of everyone involved in the project. We've been extremely busy with our own production, but all the while, we have been keeping an eye on things here, and we are extremely impressed. We originally...

I "joined the community" about 6 months before 3E came out. The reason I put that in quotes is becuase I wasn't actually posting anything at all until I started Dark Portal Games, which was in December 2000. Before then, I hit the newssite on a daily basis. I originally stumbled on Eric's site...
