    What to do about a publisher not paying?

    I've had this problem on a few occasions (with different companies) and the only thing that worked was persistence. Each week that I didn't receive payment, I sent another e-mail until they stopped ignoring me. You don't want to do anything that makes you look bad, but you also want to get...

    Player issue - help with a rogue

    We would need to know how the character is built to see how he could be improved. It sounds like the player has no game plan for how to get his sneak attacks across. If no one else goes into melee, perhaps he should be focusing on ranged attacks as well.

    Magic Item Compendium - DMG Magic Item Prices

    Because they affect all unarmed and natural attacks. This includes bites, slams, unarmed strikes, claws, tail-slaps, and other such attacks. A gauntlet wouldn't allow you to make claw attacks and would do nothing for your attack forms that don't use your hands.

    What to do with a Player who doesn't like his class

    You should probably find out what it is he doesn't like about the class. From there, you can try to change things to make him enjoy it more or allow him to change characters.

    Creature body parts?

    At Silven, we've got something in the works that should satisfy this. It's still early on, so I can't really say much more about it.

    Complex underpowered magic items in Magic Item Compendium

    Indeed, it would have been nice to have included a caveat like that. I've houseruled it so that you don't need to wear it for any length of time, but you can only use one of any given worn item per day. So, you can put on your item and use it lickity-split, but you can't then go and put on...

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    Thanks. We may yet see NPCyclopedia: Psionics in print (and updated) in the future.

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    I mean no ill will to Bacris (and am a big fan of his company's work). I apologize for any offense.

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    I love your products, but I can't resist pointing out that editting is not the correct spelling of the word (you mean editing).

    Thanks! We'll miss it too, but we feel it's time to put all of our energies into our print and PDF lines, so we have to put the Trumpeter aside.

    Who Is Going To GenCon 2007?

    I'll be there with Silven Publishing. I'm also co-DMing a game with FR novelist Erik Scott de Bie. The basic premise is that there are two opposed teams trying to achieve the same goal. The first, "Team Me Me Me" is composed of more selfish, power hungry, individual type characters (warlocks...

    How important is stat accuracy to you?

    I don't think it's the author's familiarity with the system (or lack thereof) that causes errors in WotC products. All of the WotC designers I know, freelance or staff, are extremely well-versed in the rules. Where the problem exists is in the publishing process itself. When stat blocks...

    What constitutes your "comfortable" level in a campaign?

    I allow anything published by WotC. I suppose this leads back to my work as a game designer. I like to get practice playing and running the elements of all the books, though I'd hardly consider myself an expert in everything. I'd still like a lot more practice with new systems like ToB, ToM...
