    "JIU ZHOU"(or NOVOLAND), Chinese Fantasy P&P RPG.

    For a second I thought "Independent RPG makers can afford that kind of art in China? Who do I need to talk to to commission work over there?"

    D&D 4E What has you excited about 4e?

    Sounds like all the houserules that are near and dear to me are still going to work in 4e, and that makes me happy. I'm excited about faster prep and easier referencing on the DM's side during play. That leaves more time for improving exposition. Fewer deviations from d20+stuff vs target...

    Brainstorming for the next setting

    The most important thing, IMO, is that the DM is psyched about their own game. So, strangely enough, I'd recommend the Star Frontiers game. Why? Because you don't feel totally compelled to a particular campaign, and that would switch it up for a while. Run a 6 session story arc or something...

    Any Mediawikians / Wikipedians about?

    I've started my newest project (my first real community project) as a MediaWiki. http://www.greathundred.org I'm quite happy with the interface (Mediawiki with GuMax for the skin), but I was wondering if anyone had tips for managing a community wiki. The project aims at creating 120 4-500...

    D&D 4E Lack of interst in posting since 4e announcement?

    I'm doing something but I've had a hard time explaining what it is in a short enough post to get discussion off the ground.

    D&D 4E Lack of interst in posting since 4e announcement?

    Per what Jeff just said, I have found there's fewer "What do I do in three hours when I have to run my game" which had become my posting bread and butter with TRAPs. Or "How do you do a low magic 3.5 game?" which was my bread and butter with E6. I'm missing 3.5 already. :(

    And another reason I hate the term "fluff" . . .

    I just realized how to explain something I have thought for years: The concern for flavour and mechanics really distracts from what you need to prep for your game. You need more than stats for a warforged and what it looks like - you need a situation: What it is about a warforged character...

    There's also quite a bit about Roy and his Dad in On the Origin of PCs which no fan should be without. Note that I didn't qualify that - you can be a fan of ANYTHING and need to have a copy of this book. Doesn't matter if you're an OotS fan - just a fan.

    Video Game designer coming into the industry with an outside pitch?

    Excellent. I don't feel bad at all crushing false hopes.

    Video Game designer coming into the industry with an outside pitch?

    Yeah, the fellow I'm talking to is looking for an opportunity to come in, pitch his ideas from "design spec, storyboards, concept art and such." and he's not talking casual game market either.

    Video Game designer coming into the industry with an outside pitch?

    Has anyone ever heard of a new game designer coming into the videogame industry with an outside pitch? My understanding was that this never happens, but I want to check to make sure I'm not needlessly crushing someone's hopes and dreams by expressing that.

    Yeah, check out Start of Darkness, available lots of place. The man needs to eat you know. :D

    Yeah, and a hint of orange shirt and little scraggly hairs, I think that's brother. But who knows when Rich figured that out - it could have been a hundred strips later that he decided that. Either way it's brilliant.

    ry's Threats, Rewards, Assets, and Problems (TRAPs)

    Someone e-mailed me looking for some help with making a "lower down to the giant-built quarry floor" more of an encounter/situation than just an exercise in dice-rolling. Problem: Grimlocks have taken up residence in some caves connected to the quarry - these are fissures originally dug by the...
