    Help with BBEG - Sentient Computer

    All right, First, let's make one thing perfectly clear: The reality of a suicidal computer that controls all aspects of a ship is that the players die before they know a problem is happening. Period. Hal is NOT a good stereotype. The computer controls all of the airlocks, safeties, and most...

    Mapping programs used by game companies

    It's a matter of personal preferance. I like Fractal Mapper 7, myself. I also find hand-drawn maps useful.

    Did you buy Dryden or Valley of Frozen Tears? Tell me what you thought about them.

    You'll get an e-mail (if you turn it on at RPGNow) when the update is complete. Depends of the gestation version used. Normal=Normal for the race, Fast=Normal for the race, Instant=as written. Then again, it's your book now: Make it what fits the plot and setting your developing. Later,

    Did you buy Dryden or Valley of Frozen Tears? Tell me what you thought about them.

    Good point! I can have that fixed... Would you prefer an art-free 'tall' version, or do you want it wide as well? On a side note, I had no problem getting it printed at Office Depot, though I got an interesting grin combined with a raised eyebrow from the girl behind the counter. :o I'll...

    PDFs and Compression

    For images added to a layout that will be converted to PDF? Always JPG. It scales better with the software I use.

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    <sigh> No I don't take it as a slam. You speaking of facts from your POV. My POV reinforces my statments, since as you just showed: I'm not doing as well as I had hoped. It's fine to make the statment: "Make what people want." Perhaps you could keep in mind that not every direction a...

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    Ok, I think I'm beginning to see your side of it. I'm guessing it was the phrasing then that set me off. About there being too many products: Sorry, but the problem is not going to change for the better. The internet has given us more tools for sharing info than we have ever had before, but...

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    True. I messworded (yes, that is the correct spelling) it. The truth I was attempting to get at is that you could make more money writing elsewhere, and even more by working in another field. And about the paycheck: No, that's not what he said. That's what it FELT like he was saying...

    PDFs and Compression

    I have to vote for GhostScript for cleaning up PDFs: It allows you to choose the resolution of the processed PDF's graphics (I like 120 dpi) AND automatically finds repeating images and combines them so that backgrounds only are saved once, but show up normally. It's wonderful. Anybody know...

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    eyebeams, have you ever created a PDF product? Also, I would like to see a list fo the PDF products you have bought. Why? Because you just effectivly advocated people not buying my products because I LIKE my work. You also said that I was not professional because I refused to gamble my...

    Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry X-mas! A Santa Prestige Class for all of you! I put this guy up last year around this time, and found him again when that dug him up at the Wizards boards a few days ago. I love to share! And the first one of you who says this guy is not playbalanced gets a lump of coal in...

    Did you buy Dryden or Valley of Frozen Tears? Tell me what you thought about them.

    I think I'm following your Line Of Sight now... I want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me about this, arwink. Please be aware your time is appreciated. I actually considered making it the way you mentioned: Expanding the book with power groups, events, and building a network of...

    Did you buy Dryden or Valley of Frozen Tears? Tell me what you thought about them.

    Please, Expand on your views. I'm trying to see it your way, but don't think I'm there yet. I've always seen a setting as much more static than dynamic. Adventure modules, on the other hand, were always the movers of a setting. Looking at the setting material from dragonlance, forgotten...

    Did you buy Dryden or Valley of Frozen Tears? Tell me what you thought about them.

    I understand what you're saying, but consider these points: "For me, it took the product to long to get to the parts that really interested me. While the human history was interesting, the parts of the valley that really stood out for me where the unsteady detente between the fey and the...
