I dropped 15k one day, and then drank heavily. I won't be aiming for that ever again, thankyouverymuch. :p I like a good 2 to 3 thousand a day, for the most part. Of course, that presumes having a full day to write, which is a bit of a rare luxury nowadays. Patrick Y.

For about 2-3 years or so, I brought myself joy by ruining your RPG.net experience as first a moderator, and then an admin. I still post there alot, hurling abuse from the safety of my untouchable former-admin status. Come on by, and I'll say horrible things about your mom... completely free of...

And if WotC printed every book on a chapter by chapter basis, I could have spent 5 bucks for the bits of Complete Warrior that interested me, rather than, what, 30ish on the whole thing. But they don't. That's sort of the nature of the game. Ptolus is a premium product because that's what Monte...

Ship of Horrors is a masterpiece compared to Thoughts of Darkness, a "gothic horror" module which features: a realm that looks like something off the cover of Heavy Metal Magazine Roving bands of 15th to 18th level drow warriors, wizards, and rogues Massively overpowered hordes of...

It looks absolutely beautiful so far, which is a good thing, I suppose. :p More power to you, Mr. Cook. I love to see barriers of design pushed, and I love the fact that companies are starting to click with the fact that this is a hobby that can support high end, prestige products. Patrick Y.

Spells shifted to a mix & match, effects-based system that scales in power, to eliminate the need for 800 different, individual spell listings. Create core spell types instead (like character classes for spells, if you will) that can be individually modified to create specific spells. So, for...

Argh. This is an example of what I miss most about GenCon: the unique stuff you just don't find anywhere else (except, I guess, Portugal :p ) Now I'm really hoping a publisher does pick it up, just so I can look at it. Also, I now want Mage so badly I can taste it.

Was Goodman's Demon Hunter's Guide there? I haven't seen it at the store yet, and haven't gotten my comp copies yet. I'm curious to see what kind of art is inside. And who publishes Beast Builder? That sounds like a good book, for sure. This sounds really interesting, though I'd prefer to see...

Well, there's a lot of factors to the general smelliness at cons: 1) A lot of people at cons spend several days just trundling from gaming table to gaming table. They stay up for most of a day - or several days - just sitting in chairs, eating junk food, and generally just stewing in their...

I like and dislike cons to the exact same degree. I like going to cons to meet and talk with people I've worked with, and because it's always fun to wander the exhibit hall and see what's new, and what's interesting. It can be fun to see all the really over the top game equipment people make...

I'm sad to see Ravenloft go. It was always my favorite setting, though I tended to pare away large chunks of it, and ignore completely the idea of other campaigns crossing over - except for that time I made "Greyvenloft". I always wanted to write Ravenloft stuff: the idea of the domains...

As a rule, they don't. Two things: 1) Different people request different rules. See enough requests for different rules from different people, and they all blur together so it seems everyone wants rules for every specific situation under the sun. 2) Drinking and drunken adventurers are a...

Why?

Sometimes, for a writer, it's enough that you know you didn't rip someone else off. Even if other people don't believe you, you can be sure of two things: 1) You're telling the truth. 2) They're all just ugly head, pimple butt stink faces anyway. ... also, they smell like cheese. Patrick Y.

The geekiest moment I ever had happened ages ago, and it really wasn't all that bad. A buddy and I had decided to just hang around his place that night, instead of going out - we were young and poor. So, anyway, we were flipping through comics when his roommate brought over his very attractive...

Yig. For me, this is like a two paragraph summary of a Hell of a man's own choosing. YMMV (your mileage may vary). Patrick Y.

Style and shape matter, definitely. Most of the D&D shirts out there stink as clothing, plain and simple. They're cut to be anti-flattering, the design is overwhelming and flows over the fabric like a rash, and the fabric is either obnoxiously thick and bulky feeling, or so thin as to be like a...

Are you talking about the one from Goodman Games? Because I wrote that one. I enjoyed writing it, that's for sure - probably my favorite project, over all (except maybe for the DCC 18: Citadel of the Demon Prince, or the Visions books for Ronin Arts). It's got lots of little rules bits for...

The artefact unleashes phantom threads of emotion, which insinuate themselves within the minds of everyone within several leagues. The threads overwhelm them with feelings of remorse and pity - in essence, the artefact is an enormous psychic net that gathers all the pain and anguish of the...

Well, good for him. He's a good author, and from my (very) few correspondences with him on a project a few years ago, a nice fellow.
