To attempt to clarify my last random thought: Create a dungeon from a set of 3D tile pieces from a Dwarven Forge type set, then replicate in your pdf maps. That way, someone that has a lot of money in 3D tile sets can use them to replicate some of your maps. Sometimes the physical limitation...

Some random thoughts. You didn't mention if these are print or pdf. If pdf, consider offering a hex grid background to broaden the appeal and usefulness. My group often uses hexes for outdoor stuff even in D&D type games because it simplifies movement and combat. Squares are still easier...

I know this is a somewhat old thread but just found it. I do have a copy of the 3.0 version of the Beyond Monks pdf. Not sure what version the original poster was looking for. I still have the email from CMB for the 3.5 version but RPGNow no longer has it available for download. If I ever...

To answer the original question, I think splat books overall are a good thing. It is a rare publisher that can put everything they want into the "Core" set of books. And in most cases, if they tried, the sheer size of the book would likely scare some folks off and result in damaged feet when...

The animated Lord of the Rings movie that was released unfinished due to either lack of money or a licensing issue. A second for Wizards. Never has a mom taught a son a better spell then Conjure Luger.

Option 5 - the ritual fails for some reason that the villain understands. Villain uses the professor as a hostage to force the PCs to do the quest required to gather the materials/enable the conditions/etc needed for the ritual to succeed.

I think worries about nudity in RPGs or other material is generally overblown. As I look at the nude woman chained to the altar on the cover of my copy of the OD&D Eldritch Wizardry. :D Or the drawings of several of the demons on the inside pages. Even the three basic books had some nudity. I...

I find it rather sad that with all the love being given old modules, the latest poll asking about new WOTC products didn't include a selection for New Modules. I don't consider adventure paths interchangeable with modules.

For the most part, young kids and RPGs don't mix. When they are in the wriggling larval stage, things are ok just with interruptions. When they are self portable bundles of trouble, gaming is mostly impossible if the kids are anywhere near the game table. Once they are old enough to be on...

I supported this via the KS when it was offered. One thing that was a bit unclear in the KS is that the Early Enrollment in the Beta,(which is what is starting NOW), counts against game time purchased. So, in effect, they are charging folks to Beta test the game. Even logging in to verify the...

My suggestion is don't do it via game design. Why? Real life encourages Min-Max to a large degree. Most people don't go to a University to get a Doctorate in General Studies. They instead get a degree in Organic Chemistry or Electrical Engineering. This doesn't mean they have no other...

One method my group has used is letting game play design the character. Example: Assume a D&D 3.5 type game system. The only thing she defines before the 1st game session is race and sex of character. Assume no feats or skills and 10s in all stats. In this example, play starts with her...

I gave up on WOTC when they announced D&DV4 and yanked the licenses for 3.5 away from Code Monkey Publishing, who had rescued WOTC's rear end from the MasterTools failure dating back to the introduction of V3.0. WOTC wouldn't even let CMP sell a completed data set for 3.5 that was ready to...

I wonder how well that helmet fits over her hairpin? :) Of course, she could be a ninja disguised as a solder. Nice to see variation from the standard European armor style.

It could also have to do with long term value. My Reaper Bones minis(Vampire level with several add ons) and SJG Ogre game will be useful, playable and supported long after D&D Next has been relegated to the trash bin. I am increasingly reluctant to support companies that obsolete games on a...

My copper badge didn't show up until after I unchecked the hidden box and saved. Is this the correct behavior? The email didn't mention the hidden box but maybe that was assumed knowledge. New member, long time lurker.

I can verify that it is happening. Just found my notice this morning. And am sympathetic to the RSI comment. Have to be careful myself not to over do the keyboard mashing. And testing the copper support badge.
