    Value of Slaves

    Moving away from what the OP may or may not dream about in the privacy of his own mind... Pricing is going to be dependent on what the culture values. A culture that values beauty is going to charge a premium for beautiful slaves. Read any books about the drow and its obvious they don't have...

    Rediscover the Planes with The Cosmology of Karma

    Thank you :) To confess, most are courtesy our pals at NASA. Those are actual photos from space. When we were trying to get ideas for art we were looking around the site and some of the graphics just jumped out at us. No need to recreate the wheel when the wheel rolls right down to your...

    Ethics of Killing POWs

    The issue is that too often in gaming we think of non "core" races as less than human, and therefore it's OK to kill them regardless of the circumstances. In all of my games, the rule of "reasonable force" applies. Prisoner is struggling and trying to escape, a little violence may be in order...

    Gencon Sued by LucasFilm (over Star Wars Celebration Make-a-Wish auction)

    Well the issue is compounded by the fact that Lucas Films apparently also spent time helping advertise the event to their own fan base to help boost the auction. Basically, Gen Con got a huge amount of "free" advertising on the various Lucas Films websites and fan publications, which is mostly...

    My Homebrew Pantheon - Please Critique

    But in a medieval society, which is what the original goal seems to be, these would be mutually exclusive. Math and engineering are for the educated...who were also by definition the wealthy. Remember, don't confuse modern notions of political correctness with the realities of the type of...

    My Homebrew Pantheon - Please Critique

    I think this needs to be sorted out before you continue. Even if you are going to hide it from the players, you need to understand it in order to really flesh out the relationships between the gods. That doesn't mean he has to be LG. You can be nuetral and still have a sense of internal...

    My Homebrew Pantheon - Please Critique

    I would say the first question is "Why?" As a student of religion and mythology, this particular pantheon seems a hodge-podge of unrelated beings corresponding to things you think you might need, as opposed to an organic faith. I'd also say you are bringing a modern-era sensibility to your...

    Guild of Wizards' Pre-Valentine's Day Sale

    The problem with magic items in D&D is that they are designed with adventurers in mind. But let's be honest, adventurers don't BUY magic items, they kill people and monsters and take their magic items. So I would think that if you want to be a profitable magic item seller, you would cater to...

    Elemental Gemstones Now Available

    You aren't going blind. This product is non-system specific. It doesn't contain game mechanics. It's a reference guide that can be folding into any system (much like our previous product, Unseen Treasures). The PDF preview lets you see exactly what to expect. The Karma System will use a...

    D&D 4E How is the 4e announcement affecting your game groups?

    Most of the people I game with would not have even been AWARE of the upcoming 4th edition if not for me bringing it up. Most of them don't have the time or inclination to visit gaming forums, and none of the local stores have made any mention of it. As far as I know, only one store in my area...
