Speaking as somebody who wrote a little bit of the main book and saw a lot of the rest, I think it's fair to say that <i>D&D Warcraft</i> is head-smashingly good fun. :) cheers,

I just thought I'd throw in a few near-worthless civilian cents... :) 1. I'm really impressed by the number of nuclear techs and submariners who are around to post on this thread. I think this says good things about both EN World (cool, lots of smart military guys!) and the Navy (cool, lots of...

Re: Re: Getting new people into the role playing hobby The boxed adventure set is a good first try at this, and I'm hopeful that the upcoming <i>First Challenge</i> set will do an even better job. But yes, the main rulebooks are tough sledding to a group that's totally new to the game. OTOH...

{whimper} I want PICTURES of the PRETTY MINIS! Ok, that's more of a whine. :) looking forward to happy cross-selling,

Thanks Eridanis, Bolen. I should note that anybody who wants to print out the sell sheet and wave it under the nose of their friendly local retailer will receive brownie points, redeemable for brownies here at Space-Crime Central. (Disclaimer: Some travel required, plus a little advance...

This kind of puts my hubris-meter over into 11, but I've worked up some designer's notes and a sell sheet for Dynasties & Demagogues (arriving in stores now!). You can find them at: http://www.spacecrime.com/Dynasties_Design_Notes.pdf http://www.spacecrime.com/Dynasties_Sell_Sheet.pdf...

It was a very close call in your case, Jeremy. Unfortunately, I had to spread my copies among several review sites, and the EN World pool included several folks whom I am officially a Big Fan of. There was just no way to avoid leaving some of those folks out... best wishes,

Hey, 4 to 5 reviews on EN World *is* a published reviewer. Whether I send you a book depends on what other requests come in -- I want to spread the review action around a variety of sources. Anyway, I recommend going to the page above and signing up. It can't hurt, and you might like the...

Dear friends and fellow gamers, I'm very pleased to announce that <i>Dynasties & Demagogues</i>, the sourcebook that helps you add political intrigue to your D20 game, is now shipping to distributors! John Nephew and his merry gang at Atlas Games have been packing boxes all day, and this means...

Wil: just wanted to say that you folks at FFG did a great job with this book. It's selling like hotcakes -- we sold out over the weekend -- and the concept and quality is proving irresistable to people who didn't know they were going to buy it until they saw it for the first time. cheers,

Yup, very true. However, that just adds some interesting consequences: 1. Spellcasters become a strategic resource. Whoever befriends or controls them has a powerful weapon at their disposal, and that leads to all sorts of fun conflicts. 2. Where there's a spell, there will be somebody...

I think "saturated" is a good description, but the situation is less scary than it seems to be. Based on what I'm seeing in my store and hearing from other retailers, the overall market is growing nicely. However, the amount of product on the market is more than the current market can absorb. A...

All of the new D20 rules are open and ready to share! (Well, they'll be ready to share in June, but you know what I mean.) cheers,

Re: Re: [PR] Last Hero in Scandinavia I just want to say that there is nothing scarier than a publisher with an electric cattle prod. Not that this has anything to do with anything, especially my sudden appearance in this thread. :) Let me start with what they're not. They're not "two armies...

You missed the couple of choices dear to the heart of a working writer: a) work done "on spec", and b) work done on a contract. "On spec" is stuff that you submit -- possibly pitching to the editor first -- but isn't guaranteed to sell. If they like it, they buy it and write you a check...

I think DanMcS is in the difficult position of only wanting to buy the elephant's trunk. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that Green Ronin is selling the whole elephant. Now, they may or may not be able to come to a meeting of minds on this issue. (I can think of a couple of ways for...

Hm. Maybe I should have asked ages in the poll -- but I'm thrilled to have you guys posting them! Lots of toddlers running around, apparently. That also fits what I'm seeing... cheers,

I've been noticing an upswing of families that game in the store lately, and am getting curious about the demographics. Hence this poll... cheers, Edit: This isn't off topic, or it would have to be closed, so I'm fixing your title a bit.

If I may echo others a bit, it's not that modules are unpopular. We sell a fair number of them, and folks do seem to like them. On the other hand, they don't sell as well as supplements that both players and GMs can use, and given their lower price point there's less profit per unit. Add to...

Lots of good thoughts in this thread. But I did want to point this item out as a reason why it's a great time to <b>start</b> a business. The economy's running a little slow right now, and a lot of businesses that service businesses are hungry for cash. That means you can get some excellent...
