Hey, just for the record (and a shameless plug) there are kobold sub-races, three to be precise, in The Koboldnomicon. I think there are too many sub-races for elves, and not enough for other races. And overall there are few sub-races that actually make sense. Most are little more than...

When running a game at a convention or event, the primary goal is to make sure the game can actually run in the time allowed. Letting players alter pre-gens takes time away from game play, and can adversely effects the game. If I create a pre-gen wizard and give him comprehend languages and...

Yep, Robert had a bit too much fun with this one, I think. :p I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'd be inclined, so you all know, to post stories of your in game misadventures with the Kobold Queen (so long as they are PG-13.) on the website.

I think if you are going to call it Complete Scoundrels, will it have the stats for Laurence Jamieson and Fred Benson? -------- A free PDF copy of The Manipulative Player's Guide to Sympathetic Magic to the first person who can identify the movie referenced above.

She’s sneaky. She’s sassy. She’s sexy (for a kobold, anyway.) She’s the Kobold Queen, and she is now available as a free download at Bards and Sages! This PDF download gives fans their first look at the silk dress wearing, whip wielding vixen in Johnathan Richards short story Love Slave of...

When I write reviews for Amazon and other sites, this is always my assumption: 5 stars: flawless work. The Shakespeare of its genre. The gold standard everyone else should strive for 4 stars: Exceptional work. Worthy of a spot on the bookshelf. 3 stars: A solid product. Does what it...

A review is only as valuable as it's content. I tend to dismiss one or two sentence reviews (particularly the ones that obviously have a less than firm grasp of the English language). As someone who has spent a great deal of time reading, writing, and studying reviews in general, I've gotten...

You don't need to "stat out" gods unless you intend to have actual combat with them. I think providing stats for such things often does more harm than good. We currently have two god-specific supplements out. Gods of the Dead provides 4 related gods that deal with death and undeath. Blessed...

Run of the mill NPCs (shop owners, beggars, other non-essentials) No more than a name and a general personality. Generic NPCs (bandits, guards, anyone in which the party may have combative or intense interaction) I'll normally just use the standard NPC blocks in the DMG or one of the piles of...

How about a little holiday game to get everyone in the spirit? You can chose to trick or treat anyone who posts in this thread. All you have to do is describe what kind of trick you would play on the person, or what kind of treat you would give them. The only rules are: 1. Keep it gaming...

Sales: WalMart has the lowest prices of most department stores, yet they still have sales. Why? Because sales get people in the door. It is the same thing with an e-store. Why do you think Amazon has sales? It motivates people to buy now instead of waiting. Also, a sale on product Y gets...

If someone is so adamant about not wanting to deal with OBS, they can always buy the print versions of my products (which I still sell through Amazon and my own storefront at Lulu.). Print products are not included under the agreement. Honestly, I think this is a non-issue. The fact is, you...

Just because the competition does things poorly, does not mean that OBS should drag it's heels and wait for them to catch up. Close does not mean close in service and quality. It means close in format. The fact is there ARE other sources that do the exact same thing PBS does: sell RPG pdfs...

As someone who has published two print anthologies including writers from around the world, I find this to be completely obnoxious. The implication that we or any publisher here will use the rate increase as an excuse to jerk around writers and artists is ridiculous.

What is a monopoly? I don't see OBS deliberately limiting the quantity of goods. In fact, the new store will have more products that the individual stores had. Singer Seller: This is obviously not the case. e23, Paizo, Lulu, publisher storefronts, DBB, and other outlets do exist. No...

I was just coming here to post the exact same thread! Bards and Sages has no intention of raising its prices. After reviewing our current agreements and programs, we see no reason to increase our fees to the consumer, as our rates will not really be changing. We are looking forward to the...

I suppose I don't count? I've posted in three different threads my opinions on the matter, to be told that I am misinformed about my own company's chances. I agree with Gareth (whether he is an RPGNOW employee or not). James has never given me any indication that he intends to "screw" the...

You know, the more this thread goes on, the happier I am. It seems some vendors were getting better gold vendor pricing than me (20-25% as opposed to 30%), allowing them to price more competitively and make a greater profit per sale. Now everyone will be on the same level playing field, thus...

If I might point out a few things: 1. For those that are so worried that "lack of competition" will increase the prices. Firstly, I sell on all three sites, and I have NEVER seen any indication of cross-over competition. People have their favorite shops for various reasons, and that is where...
