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

    I'm less posting, especially about d20 stuff, but there's a few confounds: * I have a 2-week old baby girl * My new project is starting and it's a doozy, and it's also not system-specific so not much d20 posting, although I need to find a better way to "sell" it to potential contributors (like...

    OotS 500

    My theory: Baby bro sat and played in the angelic daycare at the bottom of the mountain till Mom showed up and brought him up with her.

    "Poaching" OGC

    Also, many artists get a break in the industry by doing remixes - some of which are brilliant. These remixes can influence the original artists who see new ways to combine their sound with something new. Also, people are regularly lifting each others' chord progressions, drum solos, and vocal...

    New EN Baby!!!!! (new member of the rycanada / Stoughton family)

    "Yeah, no kidding" said Dad at 3 in the morning. Mom's doing great. REally great. In fact, she keeps saying things like "Wow, this is so easy" when the bags are forming under Dad's eyes. I think she wants like 10 of 'em. :confused:

    "Poaching" OGC

    And sadly we see very little collaboration anyway; the ecology flows very tightly around the WotC SRD, very little second-order or third-order development outside of a single company's product line. So yeah, while no one's "poaching" - that's great. But there's a downside. I have this idea...

    Yeah, I've got my 13 day old baby girl in my arms and I just want to kill Eugene multiple-ressurection style.

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    Finally, you may or may not have seen my new project, a wide open gaming product that's geared at building a systemless rpg supplement. The goal is actually somewhat similar to the Dictionary of Mu, and if you ever followed my Last Age threads you'll see a lot of familiar things popping up...

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    I sure wouldn't mind hearing about other peoples' E6 games - even if you're at a stage of "Hmm... my players are doing THIS right now but I don't know what to do next" feel free to post it here.

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    What I'm thinking for E6 right now: I do think some kind of 4e E6 version will be a good game. I want to play that way - maybe E6 will mean new powers/talents and feats instead of just feats - and I imagine that when the 4e SRD finally comes out I'll be trimming it down to make a handbook for...

    Here's a couple more: one with her lying down, another one doing Air Guitar better than a mushroom. :D

    One thing I could really use help on: Abbreviating the pitch. Right now it's long and more complex than it should be to really hook potential contributors. I know how to pitch the setting itself, but the idea of contributing is a whole different kettle of fish.

    soundtracks

    I cobble my soundtracks from lots of places. The challenge for me is finding music that doesn't draw too much attention to itself: THat gets old fast and sometimes you get an elaborate crescendo while the players are planning how to kick in the next door. Some great ones are the Trigun (anime...

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Let me put it another way: Let's say I have a suit of Fire. Now, Fire is cool - it's an element. I can imagine pictures of the Queen of Fire, the King of Fire, heck, ten flames for the Ten of Fire. That's fine. The problem is that if there was a suit of Fire, it really elevates the...

    Trawling for developers for open systemless rpg project

    It's close to an open source campaign setting, but not exactly. There's a bit more focus on a specific outcome. The end product will be 120 encyclopedia-style entries. Each entry has to meet several criteria: Describe a single topic Stand on their own * Relate to other entries Are 400...

    Sword that eats Money!

    I agree w. Asmor. If the sword needs to be fed, it's a choice for the players. Heck, it's not even an easy choice. Choices are cool.

    Thanks! I admit my knowledge of geography is more "Bob down at the grocery store, he went to England once, right?"-esque rather than say, Michael Palin-esque.
