    Kobold as Viable PC Race?

    Of course kobolds can be PCs. I am still waiting on one of my friends to get up the guts to let me play a kobold sorcerer with the augment summoning feat! Surely you have heard of our Koboldnomicon? Where is Whizbang when I need him? Oh, the little guy above was done by Herman Lau for the...

    What do your players do with thier dead foes?

    I depends on the party and the location. If they are trying to escape somewhere, they quickly loot and run (assuming the other surviving baddies will deal with the bodies.) If they are out in the woods or something, they normally either cremate or bury the bodies. This is a pragmatic activity...

    Death deities in Greyhawk

    Wee Jas is a good choice if you just want a non-evil god from the official core products. If you want something specifically more in line with Kelemvor, you might be interested in our Gods of the Dead.. One of the four gods, Nadru, shares some of Kelemvor's philosophy.

    Lulu thread at RPGNet . . .

    I actually did bundle a bunch of our smaller products for a customer who specifically requested it. It's actually sold pretty well with almost no promotion, so I've left it up and available. http://www.lulu.com/content/490105 If you have a straightforward product that doesn't require a lot of...

    Lulu thread at RPGNet . . .

    Lulu is not a copy service. You cannot print books that you do not own the copyright for. Do some get through anyway? Yes, I am sure. But Lulu does agressively protect copyrights, and its user agreement specifically prohibits this.

    Augment Crystals - A Terrible Idea?

    Geesh, here I thought this was a World of Warcraft thread and it's actually a WoTC one. ;) I haven't seen the actual rules yet, though if it involves potential twinking I can count on one of my players buying the book and begging me to let them use it. I have no problem with the theory, but...

    The Myth of the Necessity of Magic Items

    I think perhaps part of the original point is that people assume you must have X amount of magical gear in order to be effective. This may have been true with earlier editions, but not as much as you might think with 3.5. Many of the DR after all, are now ignored not by +X weapons, but unique...

    2007 Submission Period open

    websites I understand sending PDF products on a CD, but what exactly do you expect for a website submission? Just the web address? A CD with copies of files on the site? I would assume just including the web address on the entry form, but you know what happens when you assume....

    Neiyar Writing Contest

    In March, 2005, after four years of stressing over whether or not I should do it, I released the first Bards and Sages RPG, the Neiyar: Land of Heaven and the Abyss campaign setting. I had been using the setting for years, running games at local conventions. But there is a difference between...

    Races of Neiyar: The Krakodons

    The party cuts its way through the jungle undergrowth, and finally stumbles upon a moss covered stone about the height a full-grown man. The barely visible markings resemble some primitive form of Draconic, and after some study they determine the marker is some sort of boundary marker. As they...

    Fishers find CR10 Squid!

    Probably had someone cast True Fishing to get a +20 bonus. They would have needed it. I'm still waiting anxiously for a Megalodon to come to the surface. Things like this give me hope that one is down there somewhere, deep in the ocean. It would be great to see one level one of those illegal...

    You've toppled the King. Now What?

    Well, in one session when a regent was killed, the country rallied around the heroes, as the nation was already involved in a bloody war. But as the war came to a close, the various nobles started making power-plays. Eventually, one of the party became king, slowly moving the country from a...

    How Much of a Railroader Are You?

    I don't railroad. I make it a point not to. If the players are off doing something they aren't suppose to be doing, they need to live with the consequences. Nor do I pull Deus Ex Machina style antics to protect my story if the players find a shortcut or advantage. I kind of see that as the...

    Being threatened by products you aren't interested in

    You just are looking in the wrong places. In writers' forums, writers whine all the time that publishers only accept "bestsellers" and works by already established writers. Talk to moviephiles, and they complain that the Oscars don't truely represent great movies, only Hollywood politics...

    Failed Game?

    The game itself in any incarnation has never failed. It simply evolved. Now sometimes the game's owner (TSR, WoTC, or Hasbro) has sometimes failed in its delivery or the resolution of issues. But the game itself has never been the problem.

    Who is the Best GM?

    With GM Day just around the corner, we thought it was time to thank all of those who give up all of their free time plotting, planning, and scheming to kill us…um…I mean, who give so much of themselves to make sure our gaming experiences are exciting! So Bards and Sages would like to reward one...

    Turning evil dragons good

    This would be my view. If you can demonstrate how not acting on evil tendencies benefits the dragon in some way, even an evil dragon will behave accordingly. Demonstrate how "good" behavior benefits the dragon, and it will engage in "good" behavior even if he doesnt actually agree with it...
