Me. Patrick Younts. If Bruce Cordell's work put money in my bank account then I would say Bruce Cordell, if for no other reason than the megamodule Return to the Tomb of Horrors. But only my work puts money in my bank account so it really isn't much of a contest. Patrick Y.

Actually, just last week it was revealed that "the bird" was, in fact, the final word. I can't say I was surprised, but I was disappointed. Patrick Y. PS: You might want to hit the WotC message boards. They have a board set up specifically to deal with the setting search.

That's right man. All you snooty designers wanna be sooooooo cooool. Well, I for one know you guys put on your pants the same way I do: 1 arm at a time. Patrick Y.

Re: Re: re: Quintessential Sorcerer Me. Patrick Y. PS: The book will be longer than this post. PPS: But not by much;)

Mathematics because nearly all system design requires at least a basic understanding of probabilities and/or use of mathematical formula. Beyond all that, I just don't see this as a good idea, at least how it's loosely proposed now. Given the vagarities of getting into the business as a...

Which powers don't you want to give up from the core monk? Further, what level are you, and what level do you expect to end up at? Most PrCs build off of one aspect of the Monk class, so it would be helpful to know which direction you want to go. You mentioned sneakiness, and there are many...

Transformers? Cause that would be, like, history's greatest thing. Patrick Y.

Mr. Wallis; Glad to see you hear, posting on this thread. I'm also glad to see you leaving the industry on your own terms. Well, not glad, because I hate to see Hogshead gone, but happy that you quit while you were ahead of the game. Too many folk linger past the expiration date of their...

Wow: Insulting, ignorant and arrogant. Congratulations! You scored a troll hat-trick. Patrick Y.

As to the first bit, Mr. Wallis is absolutely right. "Fandom" is chock full of freaky weirdos. Not the majority, certainly, but a sizeable minority. This extends to all areas and types of fandom as well. "Comic book guy" exists on the Simpsons because hordes of comic book guys exist in real...

Re: Re: Losing friends over GAMES... Uh-huh. Constantly negative "friends" suck. People who put forth nothing but negative opinion about what you do are essentially saying that your work is valueless. When you enjoy what you do for a living, the last thing you need to do is hang around...

Wow. You folk grow by leaps and bounds. By now, the population of the Mongoose offices must at least = the total population of Swindon. :) Patrick Y.

Re: Ok, im a business guy Hogshead didn't publish crap. Some of their product, notably Nobilis, is brilliant, an order of magnitude better than 95% of the stuff that has ever hit the rpg market. Producing GOOD product was never a problem for Hogshead. The market is sadly diminished by the...

Yes. There are good bits for monks (paticularly AEG's Inkyo monk class) in the main d20 Rokugan book and in Magic of Rokugan. Mostly in terms of feats and such. A good purchase, IMO. Patrick Younts PS: Watch out for the Quint. Monk. It was written entirely on table napkins during an alcohol...

That's the funniest thing I've read on a messageboard in days. Thumbs up. Patrick Y.

Arcane Runes Press is..... uh ...... the name of my company. None too exciting I suppose, but it is, along with a ninja man picture, on all my business cards. Patrick Y.

That depends strongly on the goals of the game, the campaign, and the players. It can be very fun and satisfying to play a game where there are wildly divergent levels of power, it simply requires a shifting in focus. With such a wide range of power, the campaign really does have to focus on...

Well; My advice would be this: Head to the freelancer's forum at RPG.net. There, you will find quite a diverse collection of pro and aspiring pro artists. They will be happy to share their knowledge, as well as offer leads on jobs and knowledgeable critique of your work. Patrick Y.

Re: Is this an evil act? This game has allowed for "do overs" from the beginning. More correctly, it doesn't "forbid" them, therefore, rightly, leaving it up to the individual group to decide if a scene/action can be replayed. Very rarely, I allow it myself. I find it better to hit...

Re: Re: I do not like Gygax. I don't mind 1E rules, just the adventures. Ahhh.... Damnit! Is THAT what Dungeons & Dragons is?! And here I thought it was about what I wanted it to be about.... SHOOT! Now I'm gonna have to go change my notes. Grumble, grumble Patrick Y.
