    Bizarro World Crafting System?

    Hmm, but if the item is coated in silver and it hits something that needs the item that the silver is covering... does that second item actually hit the target and affect it? I wouldn't accept that. Otherwise I'd have my monk hold onto a silver piece while they were fighting a lycanthrope <grin>

    Craft or Profession?

    Think about things in a way that might be a tad confusing. Someone painting the house... doesn't create anything new. Just uses the paints that are there... or perhaps creates the paints as part of the skill. This is a profession. Someone that is painting a portrait or a scenery that they...

    Craft or Profession?

    So in other words, an artist like in the major cities of today that sits on the street corner willing to do a characature or spell out your name in odd characters or the like, might get away with using the perform skill.

    anybody play original AD&D anymore:spells

    Unless you were talking about something from Judges Guild or Mayfair Games, I would guess that you were mistaken. I don't remember most of that even thowing in things from Chainmail.

    Overlooked factor in PDF Sales

    The answer to that is... he does. It is called a partnership. The Brood and Dark Quest both work in that manner. Although the price is a bit different than just money changing hands.

    Proto-Indo-European setting and magic...

    I've been contemplating such a system myself. You can see in 1st edition they thought about it... at least in regards to Bards. It was an attempt to display the order of progression of druids of old. or at least a possible belief of them. I think one possibility is not a complete rework of...

    Suggestions for finding a GM to hire?

    Can we import you? :) One a month.. borrow Wil for a few days and make him run a game... for 72 hours at a time... then ship him back when he finally wants to sleep.

    Enlightened Title: PDF Margins must be higher due to the smaller audience.

    I think that is a fallicy.. Players are the largest portion of games... but not really the largest portion of the buying audience. You'll probvably find less than half of the players even owning a Player's Handbook. With the majority of "players" that own other gaming products in a gaming...

    Dark Quest availability

    Most of Dark Quest staff will be going to limited availability during the next two weeks. I (Neal Levin aka Tensen) will be signing off for at least 10 days while I am away on vacation. Game Design questions may still go to Darren Pearce or David Woodrum while I am away, but business related...

    Names of FR Deities -- usable at all?

    Actually that only steps around the licensing issues for d20 or OGL. It doesn't actually satisfy the copyright problem. Which may very well cause a revocation of the other license.

    Sharp Shooting vs. Imp Precise Shot FEATS??

    You know the who assumption is based on the possibility that the character has a Dex of 19 or higher. It is feasible that someone may never qualify for the Improved Precise Shot.

    Skills Based on Backgrounds

    Not just that. Sailors in a lot of cultures considered it bad luck to be able to know how to swim. Figuring if they knew how to swim, their boats would sink. A noble then would be a person that had the spare time of not doing anything else where they could learn such a hobby. Bluff could...

    Connor's Weapon-a-Week Thread- Finally Updated 12/5!

    Very interesting work. I like it. One question though. I noticed that on some of the items you go into the description of the item, and others you seemed to care more baout the history than giving any description for the item. Why is that?

    State of the RPG Industry

    Well isn't there a new owner of the company producing d20 products now?

    Enlightened Title: PDF Margins must be higher due to the smaller audience.

    Actually assumably is a word. It means basically the same thing as presumably. But it does indeed exist. And so he gets the 2 cents worth. A way to look at PDFs is to consider maybe the top 10 if even that, have equated to sales equivalent to a low selling print product. Now, look at the...

    Site Redesign

    Hmm, I never really worked with .php before.. I'm still working on the redesign of the Dark Quest website using cascading style sheets. The website itself is only about a year out of date now, since I never got around to much updates last year. The thing you state as a primary advantage with...

    New Mounted prestige class to be torn apart and balanced!

    Oh... on a side train of thought. Are you intending it solely for a straight fighter? Asking, since it would seem to be a good possibility for a ranger. And the question is, how focused to an original class do you want to make it? I would probably think of lowering the hit points (d8)...

    top secret, eyes only, and other similar marks

    Yeah, but that is no fun. Its the whole mystery thing behind it. If we wanted reality, we'd stamp the grocery list top secret...just because it was handled in the same room as other things.

    Excalibur d20

    Actually a more accurate statement is that have no more basis in Tetsujin28's reality... then those other things. Since your reality choses to disbelieve the numerous books that state they are possibilities. Ley Lines haven't been disproven.. however, they haven't been positively proven to...

    RPGNow--Problem with a product listing page

    You might want to email a person from rpgnow. As far as I know, the owner of the site opened a physical storefront less than a week ago. You'll probably havean easier chance getting his customer service rep, than hoping that he'll log on this board in time to notice this post.
