Good. Please keep up the comments. We want the process to be as open as last time, with players driving the direction-- only this time without the years' long run-up. I envision dozens of templates, general templates, templates by type, and so on. As GlassJaw noted above, it's particularly...

That seems likely. That seems... less likely. But if Paizo has cornered the 3pp market on rich, deep content, campaign worlds and adventure paths, I'd be happy to help Goodman corner the market on beer-and-pretzels dungeon raiding.

I could certainly use more reviews at Amazon, if you fellows are so inclined.

I am expanding Trailblazer to make it more complete, yes; taking it one piece at a time. Completing our Monsters, Spells and Magic, and Players' Options books will round out the ruleset. What you've just described is where I thought we were headed! If you have some feedback to help me improve...

Thread closed. See here for updates on the Monster book!

I've talked a bit with Ryan Smalley (aka Destan) about possibly adapting his campaign setting, Valus. It would make for an interesting blend, to be sure!

I commend you for it, and adhere to the same philosophy, but that would be a house rule. The default assumption is that the players (PCs) can either create or buy whatever they want. Perhaps not whenever they want or wherever they want, but that level of customization is assumed. Terrible...

It's true. So very, very true. Consider it my own spin on the Socratic method. Don't be so hasty.

Gotta watch out for that Swallow Hole. One of the advantages of posting in this forum is that I have moderator powers here; you will occasionally see me editing GlassJaw's posts (including adding my thoughts for context), merging or forking discussions, etc. One of the unexpected joys of...

I want to make sure I understand you. Let's say you've got a player who wants to throw flour in the eyes of his opponents all the time, and he insists on carrying around bags of flour. Your solution is to have a quick word with the player. But you also see the value in a ruleset that codifies...

Maybe I should talk to Joseph, I have a head start on that kind of design...

I will definitely be doing a patronage project in the (very) near future, simply to test out the concept. I think it is a great model for roleplaying games in particular, but I have some differences with the way the folks above are going about it. In short, I think it's a great way to raise...

I like TWF, but then I also play a lot of fighter/rogues and ranger/rogues. In my opinion, TWF excels when you have access to bonus damage dice. That's a problem... but go on. You can search out the counter-arguments on Google. Test your math by running it against the SRD TWF figures. It...

Our monster manual WILL include the various lethid genotypes. (Probably that's news to Chris...) As for Slavelords, if you want that, please buy it in hardcover from Amazon. I highly recommend it for any DM who wants to get a fresh look at the entire "serial adventure" concept.

This is but one of many little arguments I lost with Brad. He calls the shots on graphic design!

Hmm... If you count my revision of Grim Tales (and it's still a bit early to count on that) this currently makes three similar projects in the works-- the third being the one announced by Owen KC Stevens on the Paizo boards. And while I am a fan of the patronage model, I am also a fan of the...

The answer to that depends on a lot more variables than your question includes. Generally speaking, most folks don't feel the upkeep of TWF is worth it (high DEX, more feats, owning two weapons instead of one, etc.) It's usually easier to just take Power Attack and use a big honkin' sword...

That's the way Goodman Games went. Now what?

But there's not necessarily a correlation between people who play 4e and people who buy adventures from third party publishers. And in this case, I should point out, we're talking about adventures with an "old school feel." When I'm feeling nostalgic for that "old school feel," 4th Edition is...
