This is a very generalizing, but interesting article about fantasy today: http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101021202/amfantasy.html

Sounds like a DM-Player mismatch to me.

I'm sure some of the more widely distributed best sellers can push out 10,000 copies if they were lucky. But I agree that many are selling below 1,000 copies. I would guess that you have to break 2,000-3,000 copies at least to break even for a mid-sized d20 company. Most people are confused...

You're such a tease.

Does anyone know how many the top selling d20 adventure sold? How about campaign sourcebooks? I'd REALLY like to know. I don't know how d20 companies keep surviving even if they sell as many as 10,000 copies (which is considered very good from what I understand). There are many people out...

Yep, I tend to forget the same things, too. But I personally think that an NPC's Diplomacy and Intimidation skills should work against PCs. However, most players resist this type of "compulsion" on their characters. I think it's wrong to think that way.

With all these great testimonies from such reputable people here, I think I will just have to buy Tournaments, Fairs & Taverns! It does include rules for drinking games, right? Hehe. Quick question though, how much of it is actual historical games vs. invented ones? Thanks.

Ask your players if they enjoy having NPC's along for the ride. You should always get constant input from players to see if they're having fun or not. If it works for the game, then do it. Obviously, it's been working for you because you've been DMing that way for 10 years. Personally, I...

If I may add my personal list of "classics" from 1st edition AD&D: 1. G1-3, D1-2, Q1: Giants, Drow, and Lolth herself! What can beat that? This is the epic adventure. 2. A1-4: The Slavers series was challenging and had players rely on their wits. 3. S2: Great cover art, cool magic items, and...

I believe C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan has the PC's end up on a Central American-type setting by way of shipwreck. But I'd recommend the A1-4 Slavers series instead. That's if you want the PC's to start with no items, however.

Claudio, Can you tell us more about Counter Pack 3? I'm still waiting for a big NPC pack or collection. By the way, very nice job on Counter Pack 2: Tribes, Clans, and Cults which I bought a few weeks ago! My only question is why weren't the counters perforated like previous ones? I guess...

It seems like a lot of people are playing the Scarred Lands campaign. I was thinking of buying the campaign sourcebook myself. Geez, I wonder how many copies they've sold.

So many d20 What the heck is OGL Now all go to hell

Really? I thought Joan of Arc played D&D! I didn't know she couldn't "Detect Evil" at will or "Lay Hands" up to her Charisma bonus times her level... Despite the fact that someone already stated the obvious (that Joan of Arc is not a "D&D paladin"), I see that you felt it was necessary to...

Alright, I'll accept that the paladin is some holy and good class of beings that is rare and exceptional. But that means the only real life paladin ever was Joan of Arc and in myths Sir Galahad and maybe a few others. So, I would assume then that you think most knights were fighters or...

Where do you think the best alternative Ranger classes are?

Who determines the moral guidelines? If you're the DM then fine you can, but you also have to understand that things considered evil by many people before are now considered evil by only a few now (red heads, divorce, homosexuality, Republicans, etc). It is up to the gods to decide whether a...

That's something along the lines I'm thinking of, too, actually. As long as he thinks he's doing good, then it's good. But if the gods think otherwise, well... As for Bill Gates his stats make him out to be more of a wizard/sorcerer combo if that's possible: Str 13 Dex 18 Con 15 Int 20...

This kind of strict definition of a paladin, I imagine, would make it really not fun to play such a class. Basically, you're saying a paladin should be like superman (boring!) or the pope (snooze). So, in the end, a character like this would just be there to hack-n-slash and at the same time...

Does Bill Gates count or is he more of a rogue? I thought I saw his stats somewhere on theonion.com...
