I thought about becoming an RPGA GM, but then realized I play with less than 2% of my prewritten adventures. Fussy? You bet. (: But I know if I really **like** a particular adventure, I'm going to run it and enjoy running it. No different than a director who likes a particular script, I suppose...

Glad to hear you're an established artist: 1. Have you contacted **all** your patrons and local art galleries? 2. Would renting someone else's kiln be possible? Are there any artists / hobbyists who used to do pottery and have a kiln you could buy or rent? Good luck, Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Web support: I don't buy monster manuals b/c I don't want to lug around extra books. Instead, I'd rather have a page (no more than one monster on a page!) I can print out and tuck into an adventure or write notes on. Ideally, MM publishers would all do this, so I can have one alphabetically (or...

Let's see... Order of purchase: * Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed, with FLGS store credit. * PHB, with FLGS store credit and/or Walmart prices. * MM & DMG, same. Also: * Prepainted mini's, from Potomac Distribution in bulk. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

EnWorld loves it, RPGnet hates it. Go figure. (: I'd put DungeonQuest, Advanced HeroQuest, HeroQuest, and possibly Warhammer Quest before Talisman, but those games are OOP too! :/ Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

High recommendations for Joel Technologies ( http://www.joeltechnologies.com/index.html ). You can play sounds as well as pics as your screensaver! Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Tomb of Abysthor" in this thread. It's the AD&D "Return of Elemental Evil" done **right**. It's also one of the best-priced adventures I've seen. I've written a review of it for OgreCave.com and thoroughly enjoyed it. Clark, I've written to the author of the...

Good work. I was about to mention that EQ RPG has Knowledge skills for the various types of monsters, but you just save thirty bucks. (: Fun thing about a Knowledge DC check: "Well, you THINK it might be vulnerable to silver. Or was that magic?" (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

IIRC, According to DC comics, the best selling issues had gorillas, dinosaurs, and QUESTIONS IN ALL CAPS. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Better yet, let 'em play an NPC. Or that almost-invulnerable creature. Player: "Hey! Don't blame me! The GM **told** me to play the creature!" GM: "Hey, don't blame me. I wasn't playing the creature at the time." Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Re: Fenes Yep. I'm a GM, not a babysitter. (: I one time warned the players that there might not be combat for awhile, so offered the fighter a Ring of Orc Summoning: Player: "What do you do with it?" Me: "You press it on its side." Player: "Then what?" Me: "Orcs appear." Player: "The...

Great quote by underground artist, Daniel Clowes: "There's something really interesting about seeing a cartoonist not develop at all." Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

IMO, following the OGL or d20 doesn't inherently add value to your product. The lack of success with Deadlands d20, SAS d20, and Rokugan d20 (?) told third-parties to stick with their own systems, not risk the additional costs of another line. OTOH, For **new** systems, OGL (and d20) are good...

Yep. The "Oh, I can create a better D&D product than this" is pretty much analogous to the "Oh, I can create a better **roleplaying game** than this". Indeed, we've also seen "Oh, I can create a better **style of roleplaying** than this" sorta rpg's, such as LARPS and storytelling games. D&D...

Sometimes I think character design is like game systems: Too many you want to play RIGHT NOW!!! (: One thought: Create a buncha characters, and ask the other players and the DM which they'd prefer! Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Re: Re: Re: Tangent from a closed thread **Disposable** income, not income. (: At the FLGS, there's literally a queue for the Yu-Gi-Oh binder. In my game demos the **best** way to get a sale is to find a game the kid wants to play. And although half the customers (viz. kids) don't have email...

IIRC, WotC's coming out with a mass combat book. Finally I can have them orcs invade the town. (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

I ran a Play by EMail Call of Cthulhu which turned out **much** better than I expected. Essentially, we ended up writing a collaborative story, rather than a traditional "investigate then blow it away" CoC game. First step: Auditions for players. I posted on a roleplaying USENET group. I...

u Quick and dirty is good. (: Looks like population size and (some adjective if it's a trading center or not) are standard, so that information would be useful for stuff like: * Selling and buying magic items * Purchasing magic components * Inflation caused by PC spending loot Mmm... pie...

Lessee... * PHB: The spells in the PHB are the spells available to **your** PCs. Other NPCs and critters may have something different. * MM & DMG: This is the possible information **your** PCs have heard of. The actual monsters and treasure you may encounter may be... different. (; * Magic...
