Hi all, It feels very strange being allowed to post this stuff outside of the publisher's forum, and posting here feels a bit like I'm invading, but I guess this is how Russ wants to try it. So I'm here to let you know that the first 70 pages of my soon to be released novel Echoes of Olympus...

Which forum would be appropriate for novel pimpage? General?

Star Trek Destiny book2: Mere Mortals by David Mack. So far, I'm enjoying it, though I will be glad when I get past all these post-Nemesis Borg books and into stories that aren't all about the total annihilation of the Federation.

Once again, thanks for the strong support from the ENWorld community! Most of the RPGNow downloads happened after the notification was posted above. For those on Facebook, I'd like to encourage you to "Like" the Echoes of Olympus page here: http://www.facebook.com/echoesofolympus

I'm definitely impressed by the number of downloads of my novel that I've had since this was released a week ago. With all the downloads from the various sources I have added together, we're at about double the number I had projected by this time. What I'd be grateful for at this point are any...

Hey ENWorld, I have to admit that I don't drop by here as often as I used to. The reason is that I'm on Facebook and that keeps me busy enough, and I've just generally been busy. I now work as a Narrative Designer in the video game field. Yes, it is a dream come true for me, and yes, I'm very...

I like C&C. It's a fun system to play when I'm in the mood for something more pared down from Pathfinder. It's also an RPG with a level of complexity that makes it possible to share with my kids. Their prose ranges from good to lackluster, which is normal in most RPG books. Aside from that...

Feel free to disregard this if you've already read the announcement at the Goblinoid Games forums. I'll repost the pertinent details below. Interested parties can feel free to contact me here. I hope that those who were fans of old school Gamma World, or those who are enjoy retro gaming and want...

The only Drizzt clone I've had in any of my games was about 20 years ago, before it really became fashionable to do it, and though he dual-wielded, Flem was as evil as any drow. Personally, I'm all for letting players play the character they want. I have no problem with someone who was...

I'd agree with this. My group and I felt that there was too much empty space and too many repeat encounters. I ended up dropping a clue in-game to steer them towards the information they needed so we could move on. I do think that the idea of a mega-dungeon was ambitious, but it was ultimately a...

I'm finally at the tail end of running Rise of the Runelords, and it's been an incredible amount of fun. I can't help but plug Legacy of Fire since I wrote one of the adventures for it, but I really think RotR is destined to be one of those classic series of adventures that players and GMs alike...

There's obviously a lot of great systems to choose from. I personally really like Traveller, True 20, and Savage Worlds. That said, here's a breakdown of what you get with each: Traveller: it is the classic RPG system. The game play is fun, and the system it uses favors a bell-curve...

Paizo gets what it means to be a great gaming company. The Pathfinder RPG is a worthy evolution of the D20 system, their adventures are top notch, and Golarion is a well designed world. I'm proud to have been able to contribute to it in the past and I look forward to seeing what the future will...

I'm willing to take a look and keep an open mind, but I'm honestly pretty happy with Pathfinder. It would have to be a significant departure to really get me back, and I doubt that's going to happen.

My group is all guys (not that we're exclusionary towards the fairer sex, but it just organically formed that way), so no back rubs in our group. Right now I have one of the best groups of my gaming life. Many of us are friends outside of the game.

I think there are a couple of issues going on here. I've been playing and running games for twenty-six years now, and I really don't enjoy the funny voice thing either. One of my friends describes the way I handle NPC interactions as "meta" because I don't speak first person unless every word...

Firesnakearies, I completely agree. Bruce Cordell is a great designer whose previous work speaks for itself. If you liked hid stuff before but you don't now, you should really ask what has changed. My hope is that between the D&D Essentials line and Chris Perkins functioning at a higher level...

I already have a couple of TSR coffee mugs. These feature the logo with the dragon behind the TSR. Jealous?
