Here are my thoughts on how I would like to run my business. They are presented in no particular order. I’d like to model the layout after the 3rd ed PHB by having murals of monsters painted to correct size on the walls so customers can be awed by standing face to face with something they...

I will have to get back to you BMo as to my business model as I want to make sure I present it properly. I also would like to thank everyone else who's jumped in as there are some good points. Transbot9 presents an interesting thought, but I can't help think location is just as important, if...

Thank you very much for responding and I will definitely keep what you've said in mind. Only a fool passes on advice and I prefer to not be one. I've wondered about just talking with friends who might be interested in at least ordering from me to help get started, if not out right invest, in...

Najo - thanks for your response. You hit the nail on the head in that finding good information related toward our hobby specifically is hard, since most owners keep a tight lip. Perhaps that is part of the reason our hobby tends to suffer too many casualties each year. Outside of working at a...

So I've been thinking lately of opening a FLGS and wondering how many owners out there use a business plan? Also wonder if anyone would be interested in sharing their plan so I can see how one looks? Thanks

I was wondering if Ryan and the E6 SRD guys have thought of starting a Patronage to get this in print with decent artwork and maybe get someone big to serve as final editor?

The idea came to me of using Zombie Dice for a dice mechanic for a horror rpg. My thought is that you reverse the dice results so that what would normally be a success is now a failure with the basis being you're rolling to see if your character fails in whatever they are trying to do. When the...

What Treebore is saying is that ICV2 has gathered enough solid data via their questions to be certain of what the industry standard is for sales per company. However, out of respect for each company and to avoid law suits, they choose not to reveal their numbers. Marketing at times is like the...

Woot! Congrats Paizo!

With the exception of eBay, the other places may only be listing them high as a place holder for when/if they ever get the book in stock. Saves on having to relist all the details they would have to take down due to not having the book, so by jacking it up to a price no one wants to pay they...

How many people aren't playing D&D? Because that's who they have to payoff. ;) It's not worth their time to try to buy out a competitor using the OGL since the competitor or another fan/company could simply shift the market over to yet another version of the rules and continue on. The only...

Check Deviant art, best recommendation next to just doing a Google search.

Editions wars aside I've often been puzzled by some of the threads that have sprung up, but then I've on occassion made a thread or two that could easily fit elsewhere. If it has a general subtext to it I don't see a problem with it being here and most of the mods seem to do a pretty good job...

While I agree with everyone else that Dark Sun would have been a bad choice, since it has a different feel and the general presentation is different, I have to agree that FR should have waited. Eberron would have been a better choice I think for first up of the major settings. WotC's pending...

Exactly what I was looking for. Not sure where the modern aspect was coming from, but I knew it was one of the two. I will have to bookmark the page.

So what would a role-playing game designed by Phineas and Ferb be like? I'm not asking what system that already exists would they use, but what would they do to make the game out of this world? Let the speculation begin, but remember Candace is watching and mom might be home any minute.

Nope, I'm pre-ordered for that one. This was a modern/future setting that the link took you to their website that had brief summaries about everything and had artwork to go with each section. I don't know why I didn't bookmark it. Guess I figured it would stay up longer than it did.

The benefit of lower is better is that no matter what the difficulty you already know that you need to roll low. I don't see how the step system is confusing because of that. Whether I tell someone to add or subtract the step die they always want to roll low, hoping for that amazing result...

On the news page not to long ago was an announcement about a new modern/future setting for PF. I can't find the link anywhere now and can't remember who was putting it out. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Then it wouldn't be Alternity any more as the dice mechanic and rolling low was a large part of the feel.
