    [Green Ronin] Arcane Quarter?

    I need this to nearly finish the best put together city... Quarter means 4 right; we need the merchants quarter to finish the whole thing out.

    A good small town map

    This is the town of Northrun, part of The Last Dominion setting for Hero System. I gotta give props to the stunning maps above. Holy smokes some of them are stunning. They give me lotsa good ideas for a map that I am woking on (when I can get off the net).

    I don't know how I ever managed to game as a kid

    Great Read! LMCLAO! I was too poor to actually buy anything in them days. Instead I cracked a box open and looked through the rules after a friend suggested that we "run each other" in a D&D game. (Run each other meaning that we both played and GM'd at the same time). I knew that somehow I...

    Good news - Battlestar Galactica on TV. Bad news...

    33 is one of the best stories - sci-fi or otherwise I have seen. Nail biting.

    Do Personal Opinions Of Authors, Etc Dissuade You From Purchases?

    A "no, but... " answer for me. There are people out there who I refuse to support with my money BUT none of them work in RPGs. IMO, it is ok to have any reasonable opinion about anything; it is the rabid evangelizing of said opinion that turns me off to people/products.

    Is D&D Your Primary RPG?

    Hero system games. I don't do much d20 other than using it to spawn ideas.

    Do You Sometimes Purchase RPG Books Just To Read (Not For Play Purposes)?

    WOD books intrest me as I try to put everything together. I had buckets of Vampire books (40+ though I only played the game once or twice.) 7th Sea is the same - I own almost the entire line because it is darn fine reading but I dislike the system and swashbuckling is a plague to me (in RPGs)...

    What makes a D&D/d20 Campaign Setting great?

    First, I think PC is spot on. Now to go a little further, I think a setting needs to know what it does and it needs to do that well. Plenty of settings have failed financially but continue to live on because they "hit the sweet spot" and continued to do so. Birthright, Planescape, Dark Sun...

    Is it time for a low-magic setting?

    I think Midnight pulls it off with style, not to mention it has a dozen or more supplements to flesh out the setting. It has more than enough resources and more coming out all the time. Conan, AGOT, and Black Company aren't that shabby either.

    A Game of Thrones

    I threw book three in my back yard after ***The Shocker*** Mumbled around for half an hour then went and dusted the mud off the cover and started reading again. You either love or despise Martin round these parts; I fall firmly in the LUV category.

    What are the biggest real-life hinderances to your gaming?

    I'm an "Other," being a father and a husband is important work. It isn't that I can't find childcare or that my wife dislikes my hobby --- to be specific, I only want to spend a few "normal hours" out of each month away from my family in pursuit of roleplaying. I game once every two weeks from...

    Question: Paying for editing

    The are several types of editing - proof, copy, developmental, etc... Assuming that you want a proof reader who helps with grammar, dropped words, and spelling the following rates are my best ball park guess. I have seen prices quotes several ways so I will mimic them: Per Word: $0.005 to...

    Illustrations of landscapes

    I started a thread on Hero Games that has links to hundreds of fantastic illustrations. I know there are a few dozen stunning mattes and digital paintings that you might find awe inspiring. There are other links but I usually try to indicate the nature to save time. Daily Art Findings

    david Gemmell

    Gimmel has 2-3 "stories" but it is kinda like reading a John Wayne movie... They rock, he gets the girl and delivers a righteous beating/shooting to the bad guys. I love John Wayne stories and I love Gimmel books but the only one that is noticibly different is Troy Lord of the Silver Bow. There...

    What books are you looking forward to?

    The third book of Cornwell's Alfred The Great Series... The 10th? book of Whyte's Camalaud Chronicles. The 2nd book of Gimmels Troy series... The Lord of the Silver Bow stands high above anything he has previously done.

    Good Superhero-Game?

    Hero or MM are the kings of the sandlot. I hear lots of good things about MM but have always been a Hero player and prefer it to just about anything.

    Have much of your gaming books have you read?

    I read every book unless I buy it only to find out that it sucks. I may even read those books that suck if the topic is one that I am interested in. I don't read every article of Dungeon or Dragon.
