Great cover! Bummer the new behir didn't retain those cool ram's horns. They add a nifty element of craziness--like the behir is saying, "...and if my bite and electricity doesn't kill ya, dang it, I'll BANG you with my HEAD!!" :) Tony M

The recent July issue of Dragon Magazine, issue 333, has an Ecology of the Behir article, with art by Peter Bergting. There's a cool picture of a behir swallowing an adventurer while crushing two other adventurers. :) Tony M

The Monsters and Treasures book for Castles and Crusades. Tony M

When I read your original post, I thought, these guys have a feeling they are going to fail and don't want to lose much of their money when it happens. Here's some advice (I know you didn't ask for any, but I hope you find it useful anyway). Start acting professionally at the get-go. That...

Thanks, Steve! :) Tony M

I hope this is the right forum for this question... Does anybody know how long it will be until Castles and Crusades: Monsters and Treasures is ready for sale? I moused around the Troll Lords website and didn't find out anything concrete-enough to satisfy my need-to-know-itude. Thanks, Tony

Haha, true...true. Plus you might be shoving the wrong bird out of the nest. You don't want to King Lear yourself. Better keep 'em all, just to be on the safe side. :) Tony M

Downer shows that D&D is cool, and I like that. Something else I like about Downer: Downer doesn't make fun of D&D, nor does it make D&D players seem ridiculous. Downer celebrates D&D. I think Downer should cover 4 pages per issue. Two pages seems too small a number for a storyteller like...

Is this a paying job? If not, scrap it, along with Star Wars d20. Then clean less around the house. Teach the oldest kid to do the laundry. And put the most time-consuming child into foster care. Hope that helps. :) Tony M

That's what separates the amateur from the professional, really. The amateur does his art out of love, and only when their inspiration-levels are high. The professional, on the other hand, has tapped into a bottomless source of inspiration, or needs no inspiration whatsoever. They can work...

Hi, Aaron. Could your artist-friend be holding-out for an offer of money? If so, offer money and your problem may be solved. If not, start looking for the artists who've done work on the Warlord CCG and L5R CCG (I've worked on these games, but I'm busy), or any other games. Contact the ones...

Huh? It appears that you are trying to dilute my branding of certain like-minded people as the Freedom Fry Fellowship. Freedom Fry Fellowship! Freedom Fry Fellowship! There, the damage has been undone. Democracy has been saved. :) Tony M

Gah! You spoiled the punchline! Still, very funny. :) Tony M

That's the tricky part about voicing one's opinion. There are a bunch of people out there with a "don't push your crap in my face rule," and you might make them angry and they might make a mental note to not buy anything associated with you. I call this the Freedom Fries effect. If you anger...

Yeh, what Deadguy said. Too many layers upon layers of plot can lead to player confusion and apathy. And heaven help you if you miss a session in a game like that! When you come back, it's like having missed a class in Bomb School. "Wait! Which wire do I cut again? Hello? Anybody...

You said it seems that the PCs/Players only question/note/figure out about 20% of what you put in the campaign? Well, is it possible your players have intentionally avoided that remaining 80%? Personally, I sometimes get overloaded on NPC names, historical details and rumors. At some point, I...

I don't think politics is such a horrible topic that Erik, or anybody, should feel obligated to warn people about the presence of politics on their blog whenever they mention their blog. Politics is part of the life in the same way poverty and sickness are parts of life. They are unpleasant...

"Annoying gnome"! LOL In the recent issue of Dragon Magazine, in my *Zogonia* cartoon, Kev (a human rogue) refers to gnomes as "annoying." Which they are! So my vote goes for gnomes. If I ever played a gnome, it would only be for the sinister purpose of infecting the other players with a...

I ran a female PC once, because I wanted to try (for the first time) running a friendly, kind, diplomacy-oriented character, and I KNEW I couldn't pull it off running a male. I know how I am: my PCs are always violent and quick-tempered and do not take crap from nobody. Heck, even the paladins...

The old 1st-edition DMG with the efreeti on the cover contained the stats for a Minor Death!!! If I recall correctly, the minor death always struck first, it never missed, had 33 hit points and an excellent armor class. The stats are found within the description of the Deck of Many Things. I...
