    DRM limitations (merged with "why DRM sucks")

    Out of curiosity... 1. Got link? The DTRPG is new to me. 2. Does it work on a Mac? ...edit... I found the link...but hoo boy is it sloooooooooow. It's timing out when I attempt to get to the "how to" and FAQ pages.

    What jobs are on the payroll of a middling-to-large RPG publisher?

    And by the time you get to be 12+ people, you probably also need one admin type (who probably also does any required shipping/receiving). And you also need to consider who's going to do the computer maintenance/security/etc.

    Consequences of the Quill (Restored 5/13/06)

    It was pretty much a surprise. But we're getting the abbreviated version. The situation is also sorta like the skeksis/mystics from Dark Crystal and a couple of other plots I've read. But there are enough differences from any of those that I didn't spot it.

    SRD 3.5 Revised (Full) Bundle (TWO 5 Star Reviews! 05-21-04)

    life might be easier with FrameMaker... I'm curious what size monitor you've got. I'm sitting here with a 17" monitor that's 6 or 7 years old. It's fine for 99% of what I do, but...I do wonder if this is a case where a bigger monitor would help bunches. I don't know what you're using to...

    How many RPGs do you own?

    OMG, someone else who actually owns Senzar... hey, there's a copy of Halmabrea at the used bookstore... ;) I typed up a list the last time this came up. Some of the more obscure ones on my list: Amazing Engine Arcanum Aria Batman the RPG Castle Falkenstein (original) CORPS Danger International...

    Arms and Equipment Guide: still worth it?

    There are some pretty neat useful magic items in there, depending on your campaign setting. (Though it would have been nicer had they taken some of the special weapons' extra abilities and abstracted them and listed them separately, rather than making the reader do the work to figure out whether...

    SRD 3.5 Revised (Full) Bundle (TWO 5 Star Reviews! 05-21-04)

    After the glowing reviews on this thread, I thought I'd take a look. Yes, it's obvious a pile of work went into it. The linking is an order of magnitude beyond any d20 .pdf I've heard of... ...but I still won't be buying it. :( The big reason: Readability issues. :( :( The body text is in a...

    Does evil mean Evil? Is a paladin free to act against evil?

    Without reading 8 pages of posts... Never forget that the paladin is supposed to be just as much *lawful* as good. Committing a chaotic act should be just as dangerous to the paladin's status as committing an evil act. Arbitrarily killing an individual who radiates evil can be construed as an...

    First Look at the Complete Divine

    Glad they didn't throw anything radically different into the requirements... 'twould sucketh majorly to suddenly not qualify for a PrC. (The Knowledge: Religion is not an issue given the other char. classes in the mix for the PC.) Thanks!

    First Look at the Complete Divine

    Thanks for the Temple Raider update... dunno why they decided they needed to nerf that one. Could you let me know what the entrance requirements are? TIA...

    Female DM's

    Hah. I made "must be a gamer" one of the conditions for a potential spouse. Stuck to it, too, and found a guy who was already a gamer. The Sears WishBook Christmas catalog, ca. 1979 -- it sounded interesting, we were beyond the toy stage, and so the parents got the basic set for my brother and...

    Feat builds for rogues

    Does the Fast Movement from the barbarian class stack with other Fast Movement class abilities (e.g., dervish)? There's a feat somewhere that makes your sneak attacks useful against undead... or take a level of Cleric and go for the Skullclan Hunter PrC, with the Divine Strike ability at 2nd...

    First Look at the Complete Divine

    What's the Temple Raider of Olidimarra like? Other than going from 5 levels to 10, what other changes are there? And do I need to grab this sucker for tomorrow's game, with my TR of <local deity>?

    (Mongoose) Babylon 5 Space Combat Game - Comments Needed!

    Apologies in advance for the rambling nature of this post.... If you make the new rules system incompatible with the old minis, you will most likely alienate that group of potential customers. If you make it easy for them to use the stuff they've spent so many hundreds of $$ on acquiring and...

    Rifts d20?

    My two pence: One could ditch MDC, replacing it with SDC*10 or so to adjust the power levels in Rifts to a straight-SDC Rifts variant. One might compare the SDC and HP system to the wound points/vitality points system.

    Wand, staff, rod. When usable as a weapon.

    If you want to make a rod double as a weapon, the rod has an additional cost of a masterwork light mace. It functions as such unless you also give it the +1 weapon enhancement and corresponding cost. Both aspects are optional. I suspect the staff option would work similarly, with the further...

    Imp Init for rogues?

    That's not dying because you have imp. init, that's dying because you're not using good sense by not paying attention to what init the other party members act on and thus using good tactics. Even with an init bonus of +11, I can still roll an 11 and go after the party fighter who rolls a 20...

    Misunderstanding the Culture

    And I have just now found out that I've been mis-pronouncing that word since 1979...! :o Newbie, ca. 1986: "What's a thay-ko?"

    Feat builds for rogues

    Wait on Combat Reflexes, *especially* if you're an archer type. At low levels, you don't have the hit points to be up-close-and-personal to too many attackers. I took the feat at first level, when we were just starting 3rd ed, and used it maybe once or twice before 6th level.
