I've uploaded a 3.5e conversion of this classic White Dwarf scenario to my website. Journey to Maldred's Lair, brave the deadly traps, illusions, and guardians placed there, and stop him before his transformation is complete!

Are you sure they didn't use the OGL? SJGames' big run at the d20 market was a weekly eZine that used OGL. (I think it was called d20 Weekly?) And ran for maybe a year before they shut it down and folded all its articles into the Pyramid archives.

What is WOTC's Vision For The GSL? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcisPdJVNl8

Add me to the chorus. One of the best RPG purchases I ever made.

Emoticon or not, consider this your first pre-sale!

4e looks like a fun game that may fix many of 3e's problems, but after 10 months of "marketing" I remain unconvinced that 4e is so much better as to justify converting three existing and very enjoyable 3.5e campaigns. My biweekly Runelords game will probably run for another year under 3.5; my...

I wouldn't exactly say it's a dealbreaker, but it doesn't help. 4e looks like a pretty fun game, but it doesn't look to be such an improvement over 3.5 to justify me converting right now. The DDI, though, had the potential to sweeten the deal considerably. A really nice virtual tabletop would...

After a long search, I finally scored a copy of the rare White Dwarf DVD, with PDFs of the first 10 years of the magazine. And to celebrate, I've published a conversion of another "lost" Roger Moore monster, the water leaper. I'm not sure there are many more WD monsters worth converting, though...

John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays! When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked -- nothing!

This was not old news to me, and much appreciated. Will definitely chip in. I understand where you're coming from, but given Pagan's track record, it's not like this is a huge gamble. There aren't many publishers that can be called almost sure things, and several others I would never take a...

Respectfully, Mike -- why would correcting the record have been a waste of time, particularly if someone were actually lying about playtesting? If the real scoop was that 4e playtesting was an obviously awesome process superior to anything done before, couldn't that have been conveyed simply and...

Nope. I wasn't blown away by the adventures I did read, and WotC seems to be making an unbelievably terrible use of the online medium. There are many, many things an online zine can do that a dead tree version can't, and yet Dungeon seems to insist on trying to do things in ways that a paper...

Some good soul started a "Let's Review White Dwarf Magazine" thread over on RPGnet. Interesting stuff, and it's filling in some details from the very earliest issues. I've updated the index to include new info on issues 1 (no monsters) and 2 (which had a couple of monsters that eventually...

Bingo -- that's the real question here. Without a d20 STL, what's the purpose of a d20 logo?

Yeah, this is how large companies work. Those large companies also revise their timetables every day of the week. Particularly with something like third party support, which to Wizards is neither a critical function nor a core service -- meaning it is probably very low on everyone's priority...

I suspect there are probably at least two factors at work: Key Decision Makers at WotC Didn't Fully Understand the OGL. Maybe you could call this incompetence, but that seems a little harsh. In the afterglow of the GenCon announcement, most people overlooked that the WotC reps seemed to...

Yeah, add me to the chorus of "what's the point?" There are other, much more serious things to be working on.

The situation has, over the last eight months, gone from a speedbump, to a head-scratcher, to an annoyance, to a serious holdup, and now, to a colossal goat@%#[. I find it impossible to believe that Wizards would have purposefully engineered this situation -- I'm sure this is all just a...

What's the Paizo shoggoth like? An aberration? What CR?

Has anyone come up with open equivalents of these very useful but closed game terms, which I believe were introduced in MMIII. It makes so much more sense to list this as an item on the Special Attacks line rather than eat up a paragraph.
