No problem. I still stand by the work I did for that book, but it was very early in the D20 game, and I was very disappointed in the final version of the book as a whole. I don't hold it against anyone if they didn't like those books, honestly. Heck, I didn't like them when all was said and...

Actually, FASA shut down because they had lines that weren't making money and because suddenly a distributor payment or two didn't come through on time, and there was no money left for anything, including creditors. That's why they closed. Or at least, that's the explanation we were given along...

Hardly anyone makes enough money off customers at GenCon or Origins to do much more than cover the expense of the con and have some fun. The con is a lot more about mindshare and advertising. Of the two, GenCon arguably reaches more people, but it's also more expensive. If FFE is having to watch...

See, I like a good adventure. I can run my own stuff, but for starting out a campaign or during a rough spot when I'm strapped for time, nothing beats having a good module I can just pick up, tweak a bit, and run from there on in. I'm definitely part of that target audience, and if something...

They were at Origins. They may just be picking their shows more carefully.

When I went last year, my clever breakfast plans involved visiting Einstein Bros., buying a few bagels and some spread, then keeping it chilled. I had breakfast and snacks for the whole con that way for relatively cheap. Also, Steak & Shake a block east of the convention center. Open 24 hours...

I'm a gamer and a writer. And with all honesty, if my husband left me to deal with 5 kids day in and day out while he hid in the den and wrote, I'd so kick his butt to the curb. Just sayin'.

I'm a bit late to this party, but I thought I might as well post anyway. In D20, I've written for the following: Races of Stone (WotC) Ultimate Adversaries (Star Wars, WotC) Slayers D20 (GOO) Ennie Nominated!!! Criminal Intent (GOO) Path of Shadow (FFG) Path of the Sword (FFG) Mastercraft...

It's discussed briefly in the Dwarven Economy section, as well as Dwarven Settlements. It's also alluded to somewhat in the section on equipment. Basically, Dwarves do just like any other culture has done throughout time -- they work with what they have. They rely on underground flora and fauna...

Well, while I had some input into the pantheons, I wasn't the one who designed them specifically. Basically, my understanding is that they wanted pantheons that weren't already tied to a specific campaign setting, that had some depth to them, and that could be used to explore some of the themes...

You would place composition under Perform? I mean, performance surely would be. Anything in front of an audience would be. But composition is the creation of the work, not the execution thereof.

Really? I rather like it.

Well, I wrote most of the stuff for dwarves and gnomes, so your answer is "very little." :) I believe the naming charts and some language charts, but that's pretty much it.

I'd just like to thank the judges for nominating Slayers D20. I won't get to attend GenCon this year, unfortunately, but I will certainly be attending in spirit. :)

I can assure you that despite Gimli's fondness for hirsute females, dwarven ladies remain blessedly without facial hair. :p I'll admit, I'm pretty anxious to see this one myself. I know some of the content got shifted around a little (it typically does in editorial), so I'm interested to see...

Publishers can always choose the level of DRM they include. Microsoft's Reader e-book program allowed a similar level of customizability. Hopefully, DTRPG will include a FAQ soon detailing exactly what rights and permissions are extended with their PDFs. Adobe assumes the default will be the...

Ooh, I wanna play. :)

Oops. You're right. That'll teach me to proof more thoroughly before I put out an announcement. I got it right in the book, though. :)

I'm sorry you were disappointed. As you point out, though, I agree that the difference is not pronounced enough that the problem is insurmountable. I believe the classes will fit well in a somewhat more high-powered, non-Slayers game. Alternatively, one could apply an ECL to them if the GM felt...

At least half the book is game mechanics. I think it came out to nearly 100,000 words. All the classes are custom built for the game, both core and prestige classes. The only basic class kept was the rogue, and even it got a facelift to keep it in scale with the rest of the setting. I think it...
