You don't necessarily need the millions-of-years process to get interesting results. If you have domesticated pigs that escape the farm, about three generations of offspring later you're dealing with big, dangerous, feral swine. Some creatures just adapt faster. I figure that's why there are...

Can't cite a source at the moment, but I remember seeing that Rowling herself was the roadblock. She didn't want anyone else playing in the HP sandbox and creating content that wasn't her original work.

http://deadline.com/2014/09/dungeons-and-dragons-trial-ends-movie-sequels-839985/ You may be right, but Warner Brothers and Universal are spending a lot of money to be arguing about making a direct-to-video release.

There's a lot I like about it, but there's really two things that have me stuck right now. The first is how do I make recursion-hopping a feature and not a bug? The idea you can go absolutely anywhere is cool, but I want it to be more than a wide street to cross on the way to the next...

You should take a look at the Dresden Files RPG. That's pretty much how Evil Hat LLC got involved. http://www.rantingdragon.com/interview-with-fred-hicks-co-president-of-evil-hat-productions-llc/ "One of those game ideas, called Fate, got some awards, and those awards somehow got the...

Most of my players and I have kids. Where the adventure goes and how I phrase things are directly affected by whether I think any little ears are present. Whatever Mom and Dad tell them at home is their business, but I'm not interested in starting any "a very special episode" conversations for...

I think they leave a lot of money on the table not using Magic: the Gathering as a gateway game to D&D. I've heard all the stuff about brand dilution and people flipping out about crossing the streams in gamedom -- CCG and RPG players forever unable to live in peace. But if they could get a...

It wouldn't be the biggest announcement in gaming to everyone, but there are still a number of us who'd like to see this produce a Dragon Fist book. You know, I think the Conan license is available...

I wrote an article for SJ Games' Pyramid ages ago. I think they pay four cents per word currently.

The market for food is a bit larger than the market for games.

I could see scale mail or a breastplate made from chitin, if you've got access to a number of really big bugs.

"Generally, the memorial site is described as a 10-foot-by-10-foot section next to the first bench along the Mill Race from Center Street." Hmmm... a 10x10 section, but no mention of either an orc or a pie?

We rarely go to the movies any more. Just to get my wife and I in and a drink/popcorn "value combo" is close to 40 US$. Taking the kids makes it closer to $70. So we certainly rent or just wait and buy a lot more. It gives us the added bonus of not sitting through a half hour of commercials...

Since the pdfs are already for sale, woudln't it just come down to whether Paizo felt they could make a buck doing it?

Paizo looks to be selling Dragon 274 - 345 on pdf, but individually. http://paizo.com/dragon/products/downloads Also most of the Dungeon from 82 - 139. http://paizo.com/dungeon/products/downloads

I suppose I'll need to be patient enough for the DMG to really answer that.

Yes and no. I think generally the more rules there are, the more we want to try to do things within them. 5e being less regimented than 4e gives the impression you can color outside the lines. It really all comes down to what the DM will roll with, regardless of what rules you use.

I suppose there is the off chance they need someone with plausible deniability to say things. Perkins says something off-the-cuff to settle the mob for a bit, but Mearls can still tell the next person up the org chart that he had nothing to do with it. Unlikely, but there's nothing like a good...

I'm a little out of the loop. Can anyone give me a general idea of how tough it is to port Pathfinder or 3.X material to 5e? I'm not really looking for formulas, but your opinion on a scale of "Easy as Pie" to "Never Again".

This is actually very similar to the continued presence of WWE SmackDown on the SyFy channel. The faithful science-fiction fans, along with some network execs, just hate giving wrestling two hours of airtime each week. The thing is, the money they get from it is incredible, compared to what...
