    Internet Romance: Dream or Reality?

    I'd say it is a reality... although it has its drawbacks. Situation 1) My wife and I met originally via IRC in a fangroup for a specific Author. We've been married now 2 years, living together for several years before that. But we built our original relationship via the internet while she...

    ENnies V - and beyond...

    Issues and possibilities: From a publisher standpoint, shipping to the multiple locations isn't really that big of a deal. Although it could be an issue with non-receipt of packages. I imagine now the judges get a few really large packages, and so it is obvious is something is missed. But...

    tower shield confusion

    1) Not possible if using the Total Defense, since both would be standard actions. 2) It would be assumed under total defense that you are maneuvering the shield to the best advantage. This is my own humble opinion. Not actually stated anywhere in the rules. 3) You would have to use the...

    OGC Speak Language alternates?

    Hmm, not sure that is really a problem with that ranks, as opposed to a problem with th concept. Is a commoner's dialect the same language as a nobleman's? Or is it a different fluency in the language? This can have a great deal to do with how you chose to define skill points for languages...

    tower shield confusion

    This is one of the not quite clear points. Since it states that you can't make attacks, I treat it as if you were using Total Defense. Total Defense is a standard action. Meaning, you also can't use AoO. (Important for those trying to Sunder the shield on you.)

    Reviewers Wanted... free products

    There seem to be less and less reviews of products across the boards. I hope this is because of so many good products out there that people are playing the game and just not having time for reviews. However as an incentive to spur some reviews. Dark Quest Games will be offering a free PDF...

    Questions about PDF’s.

    I think the model is a little skewed. 90 days sales window is silly to think of with PDFs. I think we have 3 year old products that are still selling more a month than what they give as low sales figures for new products. This is because people are thinking on the low end, and not putting...

    Does it pay to publish?

    Thats correct. 100 sales does not currently put you in the top 100 of d20 products. Like the person from ARP has stated, I also have products between 100 - 150 sales that are not on the d20 charts.

    Does it pay to publish?

    I imagine that number has been rising steadily. I don't think its yet at 200, but is definitely more than 100.

    Magic Items with the Best Value

    Actually the Haversack is extremely useful to anyone that goes through a lot of weapons. Just the look on the enemy's face who is waiting with glee for the archer to run out of arrows... and then have their jaw drop, as the archer pulls another quiver from the haversack.... immediately without...

    Trouble with Portable Holes

    Well by your question... I ask you this. Why is Heward's Handy Haversack a seperate item from a Bag of Holding?

    Who uses Miniatures?

    I find that miniatures improve the speed of the game. The importance is that players don't just assume that whatever mini is out there is the whole of the description. It also falls on the DM to correct that issue. Since sometimes players have the habit of responding based on seeing a mini...

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    I just got my copy yesterday. That ad looks really good. Thanks to rpgnow for really promoting the PDF side of the industry. Visibility of that sort really can't hurt.

    Grief over a review

    Well, it is quite silly for a publisher to want a review removed. Even bad publicity is in itself good for a company. I'd personally rather buy a product, even with somewhat bad comments about it... then buy something without reviews. But whether the publisher was right or wrong.. we don't...

    Mechamancy

    Fudging like that is bad. If Living Machine Outsider provides a +4 initiative, then you should have a template of what exactly that provides. The Special Ability line of the statblock should include (Modified Initiative or Enhanced Initiative or whatever you want to call it.. or better yet...
