    VOTE to name the RPG portal!

    We shall take your protest under advisement, and turn it over to our team of kobolds for review.

    VOTE to name the RPG portal!

    First, I want to thank everyone who added their two-copper pieces to the Name That Portal thread. It was very difficult to narrow down the choices to a select few. So thanks for all the wonderful ideas! But now comes the really hard part. Fortunately, I get to dump that responsibility on all...

    Crown of the Kobold King Cover--What do you guys/gals think?

    YES! More Kobold Love! I just want to hug it...after it puts that weapon down, that is! You all know I love my kobolds. ;) And I'm all happy because I found out one of my friends is finally ready to actually run a game so I can play for a change...and I get to play my kobold summoner. :lol...

    Fantasy Anthology Open Call . . .

    G7: I don't believe I ever insulted you or questioned your professionalism. In fact, I don't believe I ever uttered the words "DON'T SUBMIT TO THIS!!!!". I made a suggestion, to you and your partners, based off of my own experience assembling anthologies. And then I clarified some technical...

    Fashion in D&D

    Cold Weather outfit, traveler's outfit, courtier's outfit (because you can't go before the Duke in your dirty traveling cloths!), scholar's outfit (because sometimes its better for the curator or librarian to think you are just a scholar and not an adventurer researching the weakness of the...

    Fantasy Anthology Open Call . . .

    I never implied anyone was trying to take advantage of anyone. I made a suggestion, and it sort of steamrolled from there. Geesh, even when I'm not deliberately trying to cause trouble, I cause trouble! My initial comments were meant simply to raise awareness. If you are walking into a...

    Fantasy Anthology Open Call . . .

    I didn't interpret that from the original post, and I would hope that was not the case. I had originally written a vampire story for our Dead Men (And Women) Walking anthology, but pulled it because I didn't want the book to appear to be a vanity project. Those serving as editors should not...

    Ever run a high level party through a low level module?

    Isn' that sort of like taking a level 70 WOW character through Deadmines? Unless the module is filled with kobolds. Because kobolds would plan out CR 20 traps to defeat the party. And then they would all be embarassed because they were killed by kobolds. :)

    Adventuring while pregnant

    For those interested, the book Ancient Inventions has a whole chapter on what the ancients knew about birth control. Scientists and researchers believe the ancients were pretty successful with their contraceptives. I would have to believe that if the mundane ancient world could figure out how...

    Fantasy Anthology Open Call . . .

    As someone who has put together two anthologies, might I offer a never-humble suggestion? A single free copy of the anthology isn't really a lot of motivation for serious writers to turn out original work. "Exposure" doesn't really count for a whole heck of a lot these days. particularly when...

    Animate Dead and Arcane Necromancy

    Well, if I'm thinking it through to the not-so-logical conclusion.... Divine spellcasters are agents of the gods. And the gods control life and death. Therefore, divine spellcasters should in fact have an easier time controlling the energies of life and death (and by extension..undeath) than...

    Gaming Hoaxes

    Well, there was that Kobold necromancer who made good use of the change self spell. He kept disguising himself as various individuals and hiring the party to do odd jobs for him. He turned into a dwarf and hired the party to avenge his brother by killing Yellow Musk zombies...oh, and bring...

    [The Le Games] Unorthodox Orthodox: Double Trouble

    Le, you have issues, my friend. Serious, deep-rooted issues. Fortunately, you have learned to use these issues for the amusement of others. Does the Lunch Lady have the terrible "Hair Net of Horrors"? That would be just too much to throw at a party. Really...

    YourGamesNow.com April Book Giveaway

    Actually, many of the laws regarding this go back to the old Publishers' Clearinghouse days. Not to get into a big legal dissertation, but PCH was found guilty of fraud because of the way it promoted it's contests. The laws were put on the books in many states for consumer protection...

    YourGamesNow.com April Book Giveaway

    It is not about free product. I think the concept is perfectly fine, and I encourage rewarding consumers for their loyalty. BUT, these things should be done legally, both to protect the consumers and the business.
