    Boy, Does It Ever Suck Not Getting Paid!

    I've been doing freelance work for several different RPG companies over the last several years, and most of them have been a real pleasure to work for. However, I've done work for one particular company this year, and they haven't paid me for the last three projects of theirs that I've worked...

    Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave

    Oh, I agree - skill points are the most trivial of stat block errors, because 9 times out of 10 they won't even come into play during an encounter. I only include them in the interest of completeness, and because you never know when somebody might want to swipe a given stat for another...

    Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave

    For those interested, I just posted my review of Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave in the reviews section. (Here's a link: http://www.enworld.org/reviews.php?do=review&reviewid=3761627). Come see the "unofficial errata" for yourself; it almost needs to be seen to be believed.

    Two Truths and a Lie

    I'll give it a whirl.... 1. In my day job, I am a professional editor at a book publishing company. 2. I have proofreading/editing credits in products from over half a dozen different RPG companies. 3. My likeness has appeared on the covers of several different RPG products. #1. I have...

    Monte Cook pens Dungeon Crawl Classics #50: Vault of the Iron Overlord

    Well, having read (and proofread, and edited) Vault of the Iron Overlord, I can tell you that it's a pretty cool adventure. It is tied into a specific kingdom, but that's very easily changed to fit nearly any campaign, as there aren't a whole lot of specifics that will need altering if you do...

    Fantasy Clip Art

    FANTASY CLIP ART By Kevin Crossley Andrews McMeel Publishing $19.95, 128-page hardcover with CD-ROM Fantasy Clip Art is a bit of a stretch beyond my usual reviewing fare, as it's not really an RPG supplement, although it can certainly be put to good use in most RPG games. It's a book that...
