A wonderful write-up. I can definitely side with you on most, if not all of it. Though I can't think of alternatives right now myself, I do agree that a rogue's skill tricks should all grant an added benefit over/above the use of the skill. Some of the Charisma checks could definitely stand to...

I wanted to stop in and provide a sneak peak at the art that will be featured on the cover of the Myths Campaign Guide. Much thanks to Jeff Porter for the amazing work. For anybody unfamiliar with the Black Box, check out Mike Resnick's "Santiago," and all of your questions will be answered...

Got the preview pictures added. The finished work is all in color, these are mostly concepts and sketches at the moment.

As promised in one of our other threads recently, I wanted to radio back on how things are moving along with Myths of the Far Future. For those interested, we are still continuing this project, and very much intend to have the Intro Pack ready for 2012. That said, there are some things you may...

As soon as I can create a new thread (browser issues), I'll make a bigger post on this subject, but here's a quick rundown. 1) I've taken over as Project Manager as of September. 2) We have 3 new artists working away (sketches in, finals upcoming) 3) Our conversion to Pathfinder is underway...

Looking back on it now, 4E Heart did turn into a bit of a grind fest since a lot of the work was strict conversion vs. Fanciful update. If I were to go back today and do it again, I could see a lot of places where play could be streamlined a little better. At the time we did the update to the...

Looking back through these modules, I can totally see what you mean. I'm glad you've worked it out so that it's still fun for your group. I know Wickett and the gang have changed things around with Zeitgeist, and I hope to keep up that easier playstyle with Santiago. Definitely looking at plenty...

Currently, we have the intro pack, including module 1, and module 2 set with manuscripts. I'm diligently working on module 3, but that includes my own playtesting and editing before I even hand it off to Morrus. Unfortunately, what he does with them when they get to him is a mystery to me...

Such an amount of time would mean a complete reset of everything. Each civilization would have to basically start fresh. In any case, it's not a deal breaker for me. Even with a full reset between each civilization, that's 111 million years between each. Plenty of time to have us do all these...

I initially had some time set aside to go, but with our family vacation so close to it, I couldn't negotiate both with work, so it got pushed aside. Oh well, more time to continue work on Santiago (hopefully the initial pass on adventure 4 by then).

Okay, let's pull away from a medieval mindset for a moment. Say we were given a list of skills for a futuristic campaign (a space opera, if you will). Unfortunately, at least one person in our group has access to any of these skills except Engineering or Technology (that guy just had to wear the...

Today is the last day to take advantage of the summer promotion. Thank you to all who picked up their copy. I'll look forward to speaking with any of you who have questions and comments about Zen's Heritage once you've read it.

As part of the summer promotion, we've added a special preview of the first chapter of The Highborn King at the end. In addition, we have another preview on Facebook of Born of the Elements. Both of these books will be available later this year, so take the opportunity to catch up before they...

With the positive feedback I've received about my books, I wanted to kick off a discussion related to my second novel, Zen's Heritage. As an aid in doing so, I will be offering free digital copies of it over on Amazon starting today (Saturday, 6/16) and going through next Wednesday (6/20). If...

I think I would rather let them get Magic missile as a 17th level caster. It's a level 1 spell (easy to learn for a new spellcaster) but because of their worldly experience, they naturally can cast it with more power than some kid right out of wizard school. I don't think I'd be keen on...

We do something similar with racial multiclassing in our games. To give an example, Beswick is a dwarf, but he has elven lineage somewhere in his history. So, he takes the Racial Heritage feat and selects elf, which lets him sleep for 4 hours a day and still be fully rested. It also makes him...
