Adamant Entertainment is pleased to announce the launch of our new line of pulp fiction. For our first release, we're bringing back a classic.... http://adamant.rpgnow.com/images/92/53350.jpg The Devil Doctor... Out of the farthest reaches of the East, an Empire was growing...an Empire based...

That's great news. It will be cool to see more products out there -- but for what Adamant has planned, True20 doesn't go far enough. We want this *seriously* stripped down, not "d20 Lite." Let's put it this way -- ideally, what we're shooting for is for an Odyssey System character sheet to...

No idea. We were speaking specifically about the so-called "OGL" for 4th Edition, which they've already stated (on the conference call) would feature registration cards and termination clauses, so I'm not even sure if the new "OGL" even applies to non-publishers at all.

You're out of luck, then. WOTC just told me that "The current wording in the new license firmly states that we absolutely require a business license." So, if you're from a jurisdiction that doesn't require them (for example, my current home state), looks like you're out of luck, unless you...

Just to respond to some email queries that I've received: It was explicitly stated on the WOTC 4e conference call that the new OGL is specifically tailored to support D&D and products will require the use of the Player's Handbook. Bill Slavisek specifically referred to products like Mutants &...

If you're looking for more general advice regarding running an ePublishing operation, I'd second the recommendation for Preston's freebie, and also put in a plug for this: http://adamant.rpgnow.com/images/92/51247.jpg ePublishing 101 is a series of essays that were done by me and Phil Reed (of...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/GMSkarka/smallarch2.jpg It's been more than a year since we released the first collection of Pulp Archetypes for M&M Superlink....it's long past time to give you some more! Pulp Archetypes II offers the following ready-to-use archetypes for PL 6 pulp...

No. The SRD *and* the OGL (or whatever they're going to call it, because, really, it isn't the OGL, and Bill Slavisek copped to that when I pointed it out in the conference call) are both going to be public on June 6th. As per the press release on the WOTC site : January 1st is only the...

You won't see any serious announcements from anyone until we get a look at the actual license language. According to the call yesterday, we sign an NDA, and get a look at the license. Then we decide whether to cough up 5K, at which point we can see the rules. Nobody is going to commit to...

My impression from the phone call was that 4th Edition will have it's own license, which they were calling the OGL, despite the big differences. During the call, I pointed out that they had told us that there was going to be no D20 STL, only the OGL....but that in the call, they revealed that...

From the call, my impression was that the SRD was going to function more like an index, directing back to the core rulebooks (which is why advance copies of the core rulebooks are included in the Designers Kit).

You seriously misunderstand me if you think I'm "bashing" anything. I'm not bashing the decision at all. I just answered people's questions.

Not true. There are small publishers (like me, for example), for whom this is a full-time job. A very good question, since not paying the $5K means sitting for 5 months with almost no sales, while everybody spends money on "the new hotness" that is 4th Edition. Think of it this way -- are...

Not according to the advanced-notice conference call yesterday. They specifically said that the SRD would not be a stripped-down version of the rules like it is now, because they want to prevent what they called "copy-and-paste" publishing, and players using the SRD instead of buying the...

http://adamant.rpgnow.com/images/92/51531.jpg The most prominent international conflict of the 20th century was the long-running rivalry between East and West: The Cold War. From the front lines of the Cold War come a dozen super-powered super-patriots, fully statted for use in any M&M...

Absolutely. Our goal with Odyssey is that you could even play it .....*gasp!* without miniatures! (Shock! Horror!) They sure do. And it's my opinion that they're already well-served by other, more tactically-oriented rules sets (like core d20, for example). Odyssey is being designed...

Mix and match. Full customization of characters.

The other option for skills, recently arrived at in design discussion, is to eliminate them entirely..... Heroes tend to be well-rounded and resourceful. We could reflect that by allowing leveled ability checks to take the place of skill rolls. Remember Marvel FASERIP? Heroes could try...
