    Minigame Art

    Hi there. I edit for Minigame Magazine, and have had the good fortune to work with some great artists for our first issue. If anyone out there is looking for artists, check these guys out; they're very reliable. Here's a piece from Sam Waulu entitled "Orcish Truce," with a lot of detail to it...

    Balance Check

    They're inanimate objects; they take the extra damage too. Yes, a side effect of this class is that it makes the PC into a Sundermatic. Not a bad idea. I'll talk to my writers about that. Hmm. How about if increasing the trap's DC boosted the DC needed to construct the trap by the same...

    Balance Check

    That would be an extra half. I'll have to put that in. You are correct, there is no double damage from the crit (or triple, or etc.) becasue objects are immune to them. However, some weapon abilities (e.g. flaming burst) activate on a critical hit, and I think those would still work. --Colin

    [Not a Troll] An Honest Question (really) About Game Balance

    Is game balance a nice thing to have? Yes, I think so. It helps people feel like they didn't get shafted by their initial choice of character (sounded cool to begin with, isn't that cool at higher levels or XP ratings). Is it necessary? Heck no. I ran a Wheel of Time d20 game and told my...

    Stretching d20

    So I'm editing this PDF magazine... first issue should be out sometime in April or late March if we're lucky. The basic idea is to make a game each issue; not an uber-complete in-depth one, but a solid one with a good amount of replay value. Many of the issues are going to be based on d20/OGL...
