DROOOOOOOOOOOL! (Oh yeah, and I liked the dragon too. :)) cheers,

Re: Re: Re: Preview Monsters and Book Price I'm going to note that the Atlas pay rate -- which is indeed comparable to that of much bigger companies and better than average for the industry -- is one of several reasons why working with John and his merry gang is a very pleasant and fulfilling...

Sure. There's a whole chapter on using magic on political games (with a bunch of new spells and magic items). You can combine this stuff with pretty much any flavor of magic you like... :) yours,

Re: Re: Hastur! Hastur! Hastur! Which is one reason my players' favorite NPC from my last Star Trek campaign was the hapless communications officer Ensign Hastur. cheers,

Dyn & Dem is self-contained in the sense that it doesn't require any other books and no other books are based on material in it -- at least not yet. ;) OTOH, I know that one of the critters I created for the Bestiary is absolutely perfect for this style of gaming, and I suspect there will be...

I'm always up for a good plug. (That sounds vaguely dirty, but never mind.) :) At this point, the content's pretty set. However, "keep everything compatible!" has been a mantra. It should be very easy to plug that and anything else you like into a game using rules from <i>Dynasties and...

Because I'm just shameless... http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32681 Unfortunately, it will arrive in three months and not three weeks. But it should still be fairly useful to you when it gets here... :) cheers,

70. Orcus and Asmodeus send you Christmas cards. Just to get on your good side. cheers,

Some. (Haven't done a page count.) The best way to put it is that once the characters hit level 5-6, some very interesting options start opening up for them, even if all they've been doing is hacking dungeons. Yes... and no. :) To be slightly less gnomic, I was sorely tempted to use Mike...

First, I must put on my evil retailer hat. For what it's worth, I can hook you up with all three of these -- we have them in stock and ready to roll. I can even get you an autographed copy of The Last Dance, but I have to warn you that the guy who wrote that adventure is a real prat. I also...

I'm coming in late to the discussion and am probably being redundant, but I just had to note that there is no business that is so large that it wants to invest that stuff that doesn't sell. (Okay, maybe Enron. But that's about it.) As far as the "money from hot product doesn't float all...

"I just memorized Tasha's Unstoppable Orgasms." cheers,

My two cents, FWIW: I think GOO has taken a risk in making SAS D20 the way they did. What makes the D20 logo useful is that it increases sales by promising products that feel familiar and have a minimal learning curve. I think a significant number of potential customers are going to think that...

Haven't played it yet, but it's our hottest-selling RPG book at the moment. Personally, I've had a ball reading it and am hoping to get in some sessions before the end of the year. It's also having a strong influence on a design I'm working on right now. cheers,

Re: Here's my standard fake submission. "FREE WILLY -- THE SETTING" 1. Core Ethos Sentence A world of captive killer whales and the adorable moppets who set them free. 2. Who are the heroes? Timmy and Jimmy, 8-year-old twins who love animals. Players may play Timmy or Jimmy. In the event...

Re: New Wave can SUCK IT! Granted, I'm a competitor and highly biased, but it seems to me they don't need trained monkeys. As far as I can tell, they've been getting away with charging orders and only shipping half of them for years. Some people even order from them multiple times before they...

Hate to break it to you, but as far as I know Vince Caluori (the outgoing guy) isn't a gamer and never has been. IIRC, he was Adkison's boss at Boeing before WotC and was hired for his financial acumen and ability to be an "outside the gamer mindset" voice. Now, whether Caluori actually *has*...

I'm not disagreeing with your other points, but I just wanted to note that "asking around" is highly overrated as a method of deciding whether to stock something. You can get some useful information with this method -- especially if you know who to ask -- but many of the customers I'm selling...

You're not a lawyer, and you are wrong about this. I'm not a lawyer either, so I don't fully understand the exact distinction, but GW's policy is by all reports legal. As I understand it -- again as not-a-lawyer -- GW can make "do not sell below a certain amount" a part of their direct retail...

I think my point about some players being miserable is now made. cheers,
