Thank you for the nitpick. If the ezine used a single column, then I'm not sure the paragraphs would look OK with the smaller text. The paragraphs would probably look small. If there was a "printer-friendly" version with no pictures, would you print it out? -Bradford

Payment and Costs The September 2004 issue, or issue #1, is free as a PDF or electronic magazine. But I am selling the printed version of it on a limited basis in Chicago or to people who pre-order through me. (limited = collector's issue) The print version will have a color cover with a...

All right, d20 fans... I started an ezine with all of you in mind called D20 Filtered. The first issue of D20 Filtered is now available for free download. D20 Filtered is an ezine that is focused on D&D, d20 fantasy, and D20 Modern reviews, interviews, and news. It is 57 pages and ZIP'd up...

I did a preview of Dave Arneson's Blackmoor for Silven Crossroads and put a review of it in D20 Filtered. Overall, I thought it was excellent though some (hopefully) first-time publisher mistakes were made. I think everyone wins though because the end product is still very good and A LOT OF...

Of course, it's up to the Powers That Be for what EN World's focus is, though it is apparent from the Morrus Rant forum thread that people come here for news and reviews. Why do people come here for news? It's a central repository. Who do people come here for D&D/d20 reviews? It has the most...

I don't think that most gamers are like that, I doubt that it comes close to a third of gamers. Some gamers I know don't like huge crowds, some people I know don't like huge crowds. Also, convention situations can be wierd, leading to nervousness. Young women are hired for their good looks...

For the DM, unless a PrC is simply ungodly, it doesn't matter if it is unbalanced. It simply doesn't. If the PCs face them, then they should be able to handle that CR if it's a CR they can handle. Otherwise, they are great characters to encounter in diplomatic situations. You can't just have...

If you want game-related inspiration, then I am going to throw two names at you from left field: Gamma World Game Master's Guide (Sword & Sorcery) - this is very cool because it takes a post-apocalyptic situation and writes about it in at least four different voices: Comedy, Horror, Myth &...

I've heard that Planar Handbook is pretty bad. You gotta look beyond WotC for stuff that is good for DMs. Though Book of Vile Darkness, Book of Exalted Deeds, and Draconomicon are good for DMs, the more recent books are less so, though Complete Divine has tons of prestige classes. Also when...

As someone who is about to play in Mr. Kushner's campaign, I would not be looking forward to this, especially since I play a wussy magister.

I think that support for a setting makes a difference. It saves the DM time by giving them supporting stuff that is tailor-made to the setting instead of the DM having to make it up himself or searching for similar products in similar genres that may not even quite work out. Eberron is getting...

Six and two-thirds dollars is still cheap for this PDF. I wrote the review of it for Silven Crossroads. It's very close to being on par with Malhavoc PDFs and one could argue that it is nicer in some respects with more slightly more readable text and color accents. Eventhough my quote is...

DaveMage, Is your friend interested in any particular property such as B5 or a certain style of movie (like horror films) or mystery novels? Knowing that kind of thing would help too and I could recommend stuff based on that.

Since you are talking about someone who may be getting into D&D, I am going to skew my comments toward the angle of s/he being a player and not a DM. I don't think it's the best idea to get your friend $200 of books at once when they are first starting. In fact, I think maybe the Basic Set or...

Silven Crossroads posted a trio of reviews yesterday: Eberron Campaign Setting (Wizards of the Coast) RPG Accessory Dundjinni Platinum (Fluid Entertainment) Complete Divine (Wizards of the Coast)

I thought you had a going out of business sale? I need a place to stay at GenCon, can I sleep under your table in the exhibition hall?

It stinks when you do some world creation work and your players want a different type of game, but you are using Eberron so you haven't sunk a bunch of time into your game. Even if you have invested that time, it does not mean that you should continue with something that won't work for your...

Hear, hear! I see no mention of RPGNow.com, so I am guessing that the traditional PDF version is available through www.swordsorcery.com instead of RPGNow.com. Anyways, I agree that this is a victory for the average consumer, and I will personally continue to purchase the normal PDFs from...

Eosin, I've found that as I force myself to write now about stuff I would rather write about later, that it becomes easier for me to write about the more pressing stuff, even if it isn't the thing I want to write about FIRST.

OK, rating the movie based on the first 10 minutes is lame. What if I were to tell you that the first 20 minutes of the movie were the best part of the movie? Anyhow, I've seen the movie and gave it a 4. I really did not like the fight scenes because of the camera work employed. Basically...
