    Pimp my lich

    Keeping in mind of course that this encounter is (a) in a 2nd Edition module firmly cemented in Greyhawk and (b) expressly meant to result in a TPK (the module even tells the DM to cheat like crazy to ensure it) against some very special "guest star" PCs: . The deaths of these characters is...

    WotBS Thoughts on unusual race choices for WotBS

    Quick thoughts, which feel free to yoink, mutilate, or discard as you please: The changeling is from Shahalesti. Expressly in the employ of the Shahalesti military, the changeling is in deep cover in Gate Pass trying to gauge the strength of the city and its ability to resist invasion. If...

    Programs used for writing published books

    I also want to add my recommendation for using Word to do the writing (it being a word processor, and all) and InDesign to do the layout. Using InDesign rather than Word for layout is an informed decision on my part. In my "day job" I use Word and PowerPoint almost exclusively to produce...

    WotBS Status WotBS #2?

    The good news is that a lot of really awesome development work went into making Adventure Two exciting and dynamic in a Fourth Edition way. The bad news is it took longer than expected. I have the final manuscript, and I'm flogging it mercilessly in Word, but there are a few days left for me to...

    Under the GSL, we cannot reprint stat blocks.

    Spoiler-y review of Transformers!

    The Autobot who "rises from the ranks" is totally telegraphed. Also, this movie totally introduced me to a new genre of music. True story.

    How do you Build your Character?

    What's the best way to build a character? Getting to "know" the character before play starts (ideally, days before)... whether you start with a race and class combination, a set of attribute scores, a picture of a celebrity you envision playing the character, or whatever (indeed, many good...

    WotBS Errata for WotBS #1

    Unless you can't bear how they make your layout look. True story. ;)

    Thanks; I'll do my best.

    Has anyone else started playing 'Scouring' yet? (Possible Spoilers)

    I wasn't very old before I realized that I wanted my games to tell stories about heroes, not villains.

    WotBS Choosing a great adventure and WotBS 4E

    Incidentally, I want to thank you for the compliment here. It was a great pleasure to "put my money where my mouth was," as it were, and create a layout that's obviously inspired by the WOTC books, is just as usable, and yet clearly isn't a rote copy.

    WotBS Errata for WotBS #1

    Hm. Well, the sub-bookmarks are there in Act One (starting with "Prologue: Continuing the Adventure"). Not entirely sure how that happened. It's also missing from the Table of Contents, so I'll double-check the InDesign file, where the error probably originates. UPDATE: Found it. Next PDF...

    [WBS] Errata

    As Russ mentioned in the other thread, the "Background Skills" section appears as intended and is not errata.

    Background Skills section

    TTBOMK, that section was added in one of the updates to the Player's Guide. The intent behind it, IIRC, was for the GM to go ahead and create a new skill which had little effect other than to "flesh out" a character's backstory by giving the character something "special" to be good at. If...

    WotBS Errata for WotBS #1

    Page i (left hand side of the footer, perhaps) sounds like as good a place as any.

    New Setting For D20

    Are you asking about citing the System Reference Document in your Section 15? To take it from the top: Download, read, parse, and internalize the terms of the Open Game License. That document contains a number of legal obligations: things you *must* and *must not* do in order to legally publish...

    WotC's official (and maybe unofficial) stand on fan-use

    I would vote against using WOTC's copyrighted artwork (or text) at all.

    WotC's official (and maybe unofficial) stand on fan-use

    I would lean toward not reproducing WOTC's images at all, personally.

    Any chance of Adventure #1 by 5/25?

    I don't know how wide the street is supposed to be, but these ought to do.
