    (GOO) Slayers D20 -- Out Now!

    Okay, so I'm not technically a company representative. I am one of the authors, though, and I'm darn proud of it, and I have the okay to do this, so... Slayers D20, a full D20 game set in the universe of the Slayers anime series, is out now and available through your local retailer! In addition...

    What reading level are most games written for?

    On average, it's good to shoot for roughly an 8th grade reading level for most mass-market or business documents.That will let you reach the widest range of literate individuals. I'm not sure you could really write a serious gaming book at anything less than that (and 3.X is certainly not at a...

    OKC GAME DAY! Done.

    I will unfortunately be unable to attend. At this point, I will be in the area on the 17th, but I will be at the zoo, celebrating my youngest son's birthday for the entire day. I will likely be able to stop by briefly that evening, but I'm not going to have the funds to be in the city the whole...

    Seeking Game in Wichita Falls Texas

    My husband and I live about 40 miles from Wichita Falls currently, and are moving there sometime this summer (either June or July). We don't have a gaming group right now either. We do have two kids, boys ages 5 and 6 who are budding gamers themselves, and the odds of gaming regularly without...

    Female Gamers? Are there more of us now?

    I tried to learn in grade school, when our gifted teacher brought in a copy of the Basic Set, but no one else was interested, so it went nowhere. That was my last experience until college, when my then-boyfriend (now husband) decided to run a game for me and my roommates. The first group I was...

    Downtown Indianapolis Food [New one every day!]

    The Hard Rock Cafe was open 24 hrs for the length of the con, though I'm not sure if they got enough business last year that they'll try it again. Jillian's offered pub-type fare until close, and it was even pretty decent stuff.

    OKC GAME DAY! Done.

    My only problem is that my son's 5th birthday is on the 16th. We're thinking of just making it a weekend in the city and heading for the zoo or something too, but it means the husband and I will have two small kids in tow for the weekend. That pretty much rules out running anything, and it may...

    OKC GAME DAY! Done.

    The husband and I (and kids) are moving to Wichita Falls this summer. We live about 40 miles from there currently, in a very small town. The city basically has two game stores: Galaxy Comics, which is on Kemp, and Pegasus Loft, next to the base. Neither have a great RPG selection, though Pegasus...

    [GenCon] Hotels in Indy

    I stayed at the Canterbury, and it was NICE. A 4 star restaurant downstairs, afternoon tea each day (with an excellent piano player setting the mood), fairly large rooms, beds to die for, 2 blocks from the convention center (and a skyway to the mall and to the convention center through there)...

    Wow. I don't know whether to cringe or be pleased. :)

    OKC GAME DAY! Done.

    The husband and/or I would probably be interested in driving up from the Lawton area.

    Please Help Paladin and Paladinwife...Award winners listed!

    The kippahs was indeed where I got the idea. :) Thank you for setting me straight on that. I'll check into a couple of things and see what sorts of grants I can come up with. I know there are some state subsidies for that sort of thing, at least in Oklahoma. I can't imagine that Texas would be...

    Please Help Paladin and Paladinwife...Award winners listed!

    As of this weekend, we're probably going to order a couple. I've got two boys I was considering getting kid bags for anyway. :) As to school (I take it this was Paladinwife posting under the wrong alias), may I suggest the following options: 1) A community college. They are typically a good...

    What d20 Purchases to you Regret?

    It's okay, really. It's just one of the dangers of contributing to multi-author books, especially those that are collections of things. So, if you /want/ a copy of Rings of Power, Swords of Power, or Wondrous Items of Power, let me know. Mine are the entries with actual stat blocks, and have...

    What d20 Purchases to you Regret?

    As a note, even worse than purchasing a book you regret is contributing to one. I've written some really nice stuff for some terribly, terribly uneven books that ended up horrible as a whole. While I can forget about them and go on with my professional life, I then have author copies -- like...

    The Dangers of Full Time Freelancing (add your own!)

    The hour and a half long ritual where you visit all your normal boards and web sites, etc. Longer if you actually post something or get a reply.

    GenCon SoCal Post Thoughts

    Val Kilmer was an invited and scheduled guest, who then apparently flaked entirely. I don't know if GenCon had to put up money up front for that, but that was entirely unprofessional. It may not have been what Mr. Kilmer was expecting, but I can't blame Adkison for being very angry.
