What's meh about that is that you are giving the city a level. That courts a Union-like approach to me. Danger, Will Robinson.

The fact that it is being positioned as a paragon-tier home base doesn't qualify?

Eh? You act as if my attention wasn't drawn to this thread by the OP.

Sigil does not Planescape make. And turning Sigil into Union lite... meh.

Likewise. I don't know if I'll be switching to Pathfinder yet. I'm amiable to pathfinder, which is to say I'd support players who are hip on it and want to try it. And I really dig some pathfinder changes. But whether I undergo a wholesale change of just strip it for parts remains to be seen.

Yep. Gems like this is why I find the shift in cosmology under 4e so unacceptable. Is anyone on WotC's current watch going to write anything this good that justifies me forgoing or shoehorning in classic material like this? No, I think not.

Well, ENWorld's Shadowdancer had the exploits of a group in a Traveller D20 PbP, the Bray Keaven: http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/68150-traveller-t20-tales-bray-keaven-updated-12-20-05-a.html Well, I did use QLI's Gateway to Destiny setting book for Traveller D20, and I like the...

Ah, well, I don't share that rule. And I'll submit to you that with that rule, there are much better systems for this purpose. (I find FATE/Spirit of the Century to be a dream this way).

Not that I think the players would ever notice if I got something wrong winging a stat block, but: Why is spontaneously generating stat blocks a requirement for winging adventures? It sounds like you are adding extra burden for no reason. If, for some reason, you need a whole new creature to...

Seconded. I almost feel guilty taking advantage of his work without giving anything back. Thanks!

Regarding the OP and referenced articles: The old advice is good advice. Some bits of this, like: Sounds like the same exact sort of thing that was pointed out in an old Dragon article (issue 175, titled "Inventing the Instant Adventure), subtitled "if you are going to wing it, make a flight...

Yeah, something like that. :p Yeah, we had fun with it. It had a good puzzle ratio for my players.

I think it's largely installed player base and instilled taste. One thing I noticed when running Traveller: Some players just gotta have magic. I grew up playing with players who played in a variety of systems many of which would assume PCs are perfectly mundane with no supernatural abilities...

Snare of the Shadow Sylphs from TAC starts with the PCs camping.

Hmmm. Goodman's DCCs, WFF, and Guides are gone. Got what I want. Highmoon's MonkeyGod presents gone. Got what I want. Necromancer is mostly still there, but their Judges Guild D20 stuff is gone. And I forgot to nab the Wilderlands boxed set. :rant: EDIT: In other notes: Crafty Games classic...

You are correct. Some probably are just using the scarcity as the chance to get people to buy those books they've been waiting to buy, and some probably simply don't want to go through the trouble of removing/covering the logo.

You aren't talking about my PbP are you? Because there's a good chance it could get downright combative over the run. ;) But being who I am (see my Robin Laws style breakdown in sig), there's always going to be a story behind it.

I just noticed Highmoon's Monkey God titles are $1 each, including the excellent Stone to Steel and Frost & Fur. EN World PDF Store - RPG PDF downloads

As long as the proprietor is willing to continue to host it, I see no reason for it to go away. Unless WotC makes some claim against the domain name. Unlike a PDF, it should be trivial to take away the d20 logo on the website.
