Wow, thanks Alzrius for saying nice things about my Zogonia strip. :) In keeping with the spirit of the thread, I send a 'thanks' out to all those companies that place small ads in Dragon and Dungeon magazines...like Green Dragon Studio, Darkharbor Games, and Cloud Kingdom Games. What can I...

Seems to me its mostly writers of non-d20 RPGs who spread the rumors. Why? It's their sneaky marketing plan, to poach customers from the companies that produce 3E material. Be sure to mention that in your article. :) Tony M

* waves hand * I'm not a publisher, but I have an opinion on this! I think it is a bad idea for any person who is trying to sell a D&D-alternative RPG to spread rumors about 4E's release. I've read posts like these plenty of times on ENWorld, and they always seem pathetic. Especially if the...

I'd want to know why all the secrecy all of a sudden, but I wouldn't be annoyed or anything. Unless the leveling slowed down to a crawl, in which case I'd yell, "Ah HA! So that's what you were up to!" Tony M

A new thread was started to answer this question... :) Tony M

Ryan, I followed your link to the interesting "Breakdown of RPG Players" essay, from which I quoted the above passage about DMs and Game Designers. I am now wondering about something. If a person is a good DM, mediocre on-the-fly game designer, and appears to sit in the Storyteller quadrant of...

Obviously your hypnosis has worn off, Sleeper #626. Please report to the nearest Piggly Wiggly for re-programming and one free icecream sandwich. Tap the eurocent three times to confirm. Tony M

Regarding the dragging of weight... My mom had a cat that dragged to her backyard a severed deer head, complete with antlers. A hunter had killed the deer in the woods and cut off its head, along with whatever other parts he didn't want. The cat found the unwanted mess and dragged the head...

What GMSkarka said. When a person calls a book an abomination, he is insulting the writer, IMO. After all, no writer would write an abomination on purpose. Saying a book is an abomination is much like saying the writer is a "miserable failure as a writer." Calling a book crap is like he is...

An old man bobbing along in a pickle barrel. He is sunburnt and near death from dehydration. He asks if he can borrow a book, to pass the time until his daughter rescues him. He refuses to be rescued by the PCs. Tony M

Haha! # + 1: You give one of the PCs an expensive, magical jeweled staff that can teleport back to the PC whenever he speaks the command word, and the accursed PC starts selling it in town after town to get rich--teleporting it back to himself at night. :) Tony M

Umm...let me try this... "Agassi Sharapova Anna Kournikova!" Sounds more like a wizard spell. :) Tony M

Chess. Coupons. Toe tags. Hmm. Actually, I don't consider chess an anachronism. More of a parallel development. :) Tony M

Haha! I've played in a group like that! It was great! Eventually one guy exceeded his tolerance of bickering and IC insults and demanded that SOMEBODY (like himself) be elected Party Leader. Did it work? Heck NO! Everybody but him started bickering about how we don't bicker badly enough to...

Since the "Party Leader" shirt is designated as group treasure and is therefore not owned by any single person, and considering that the shirt may, in fact, be worn by the selfsame players who question the need for their financial contribution towards the purchase of said shirt, I think the...

I was surprised that the ropers were not protected IP, like beholders. Ropers rule. Heck, I made a Mt. Zogon comic that discussed roper ecology! http://www.zogonia.com/mtzogonarchive/galeena17.html :) Tony M

Wow, Quickleaf, that was impressive. Note to self: When players complain that their unimportant treasure needs more creativity and detail, give them the Rhyton of Therxes III and read every word of its description and history, and oblige them to take notes. :) Tony M

Because it's soooo easy for a DM to take away anything he wants from the party, he has to make sure it never comes across as "The DM took it." Especially if the theft makes the party seem like a bunch of 1st-level novices who are darn lucky the villain didn't pause to kill them all. Yeh, if I...

Multi-tasker? You know, for the ability to do several things simultaneously? :) Tony M
