Add to that Cortex, Modern20, Earthdawn 2nd edition, Spycraft 2.0.

There's a lot of room to write in the world of RPGs (one of the reasons I find it so enjoyable), some of which boils down to loads of descriptive text. For example, you could feasibly write a book on a campaign city that is 3/4 text. What little actual game design could come down to 3 or 4 stat...

Who said they have to design for 4th edition?

Let's hope that the timing of the release and the availability of a knife don't happen to coincide with my impending tour of the Paizo offices. :p

Unless things have changed drastically in the past four years, the noncompete lasts only as long as they work for the company. Also, again dated information because I haven't been there for a few years, but you could ask permission to work on projects for other companies and still work for them...

I've been too far removed for too long to be overly helpful in this regard. My assumption was that headcount had been trending down for the past few years and that it was much lower than 400, but it's entirely possible that I'm completely wrong. I'd also just like to thank Monte for sharing his...

Well you could do that, but if you add feats back in you're more or less back to 3rd edition. Not saying that would be a bad thing though.

Hey congrats on the improved health.... and seriously?

Who's out there to snap them up? Most RPG companies are so small that they're essentially run out of people's basements with contracted designers to keep the material flowing. White Wolf is the only other one that is large in the same sense as WotC. Some other companies with relatively small...

Yep. There are certain names I would expect to see if D&D was getting the axe, and so far I haven't seen any of those names come up. DDI is taking a massive hit though.

I owe a great deal to Julia Martin, so I consider this extremely unfortunate.

Currently playing Rise of the Runelords with the Pathfinder rules as well as a side game of C&C. I'm planning on going with Pathfinder wholecloth, though I've toyed with the idea of using the 1/2 level + ability modifier mechanic. I've been looking for some good WotC D&D 3.5 loot, but the...

Use their online service. I was expecting a problem but ended up not having one. - https://printonline.fedexkinkos.com/

Forked from: Do you play more for the story or the combat? We've all seen it. I would even venture that most of us have either done it ourselves or been forced to do it because we were running an adventure that required it. The question is how do the really great DMs out there manage to...

My sources say that layoffs have definitely occurred.

That isn't exactly true. OSRIC is essentially 1st edition AD&D, but it's available through the OGL. How? - game mechanics are not covered by copyright law. - The OGL does not make any restrictions on what game mechanics can be used under the license. - What the OGL does do is give people...

But the OGL makes it so that people don't have to wait 8 years to find a D&D-like game that appeals to them. Chances are, an RPG ideally suited to them already exists.

For every type of gamer, there's a company that services their preferred style. Sure, there's always room for innovation and "taking things to the next level," but what I would do if I were seriously gearing up for another run at a gaming company is I would look at an existing system that is...

Agreed! I anxiously await my monthly does of Paizo goodness. I think there's a few more than that. Louis Porter Jr. is still making 3.5 stuff, to the best of my knowledge, as is 0one games. I know there's more than that, but I can't think of who it might be. If there's really a shortage of new...

That's what I was going to say, but you seem to have beat me to it. Sometimes there is something to be said for depopulating the monsters who have taken up residence in the local dungeon, but after doing that for several hours, it does get boring, particularly if the game moves so slow that you...
