    Advice on hiring editing and layout people?

    Cergorach, Look for the new CBT boxed set due out in October. It's set up for easy entry into the game, including a concise basic rulebook with just Lvl. 1 rules. It makes CBT easy for newbies, believe it or not. I'm very excited about it. Um, and D20 stuff is cool! (just to stay vaguely on...

    Advice on hiring editing and layout people?

    *smack the forehead* You're absolutely right. I was thinking about the demos at Origins this past weekend, which I did not get to play due to time constraints and such. It's been a few months since the MW rules crossed my desk, and so they've faded in my memory with the passage of time. :)...

    (Mongoose) Editor Required

    Darn. I wish that a) I had any idea about how much that is roughly in US dollars and b) that I was in the UK. I attempted to stop by the Mongoose booth at Origins and speak with you, Mr. Sprange, but it seems my timing was always off. Nonetheless, I'm hoping to meet you at GenCon. I believe I...

    $20K (or a possible 120K) for your soul?

    First of all, if you feel that you would rather not have entered it because you're deeply attached to your work, then cool. Understandable. It's hard to part with your baby. I'm not here to criticise you for any decisions that are so obviously your right to make. I will, however, comment on...

    Creative Writing Programs and genre/game writing

    Genre writing groups Not that I think this wouldn't be a marvelous idea, but I also feel I should direct everyone's attention here: www.critters.org The Critters workshop is really great, and specializes in genre fiction. It takes time, don't misunderstand me, but it gets you a lot of...
