    Ptolus - Support

    I'd say maybe ever so slightly less than that line, but about the same, really. It's mostly fantasy material, rather than game mechanics.

    Ptolus - Support

    The Spell Treasury, an AE hardcover, came out just a couple of months ago. Transcendence and came out last June. Ruins of Intrigue came out last April. AE itself came out only just over a year ago, actually. It is true that we don't churn out lots of books every month like other publishers. We...

    Ptolus - Support

    I think you may be thinking of this product a little incorrectly. It's not the beginning of a line, it is the line. Oh sure, I reserve the right to set the next adventure I write in Ptolus if it strikes me to do so, or whatever, but the Ptolus package is meant to be everything you need...

    Gnome haters? It's Lockwood's fault!

    Because that's not exactly what happened. We did like Todd's sketches, but the real reason gnomes got put back in the game was because Peter Adkison demanded it. His rationale was that there shouldn't be anything that was in 2E that isn't in 3E (that's a flawed goal that you can only take in...

    PTOLUS - Who has pre-ordered?

    Not to be argumentative, but it's been available a lot longer than that. When we initially started taking preorders for the book, some Canadian customers brought it to my attention. I honestly had no idea how expensive it was to order things from Canada. In any event, we made a reasonable means...

    The Spell Treasury, a huge hardcover AE spellbook came out in March and the Ptolus Player's Guide just came out.

    2006 - Green Ronin returns to adventures with Bleeding Edge line

    Sounds like an interesting new line of products. I'm always for more adventures. Huh?

    Necromancer/White Wolf hacked

    I've been assured multiple times from people at WW that the hackers didn't get CC info. And actually, these emails they're sending pretty much prove that. If you got CC info, you wouldn't waste your time trying to sell people info for 10 bucks.

    Villains and Vigilantes

    Played it and loved it. There was a long period in the mid-eighties where my group played this a lot more than D&D. Captain Avenger was my character, but actually I GMed most of the time. I remember how I laughed and laughed when I did the math and figured out that Captain Avenger, who was a...

    TSR paid $1,000,000 for the Dragonlance logo? (New: Response from the authors)

    Jim's a great story teller. But has been known to exaggerate from time to time. To time.

    Charles Ryan (and others) out at WotC?

    Sean, you weren't supposed to know about that. And you certainly weren't supposed to mention it on a public messageboard. You're going to have to be silenced permenently, now, veggie-boy.

    Charles Ryan (and others) out at WotC?

    Well, actually, I'm going to agree with your earlier post about TSR having more humanity than WotC, though I know Sean doesn't. Now normally, far be it from me to defend or say anything good about TSR upper management. But that's not the whole picture of TSR. While TSR was corrupt at the top...

    Decline of RPG sales

    Probably true, John (it certainly isn't evidence that WotC is trying to maintain flexibility in an ever changing marketplace or whatever their embarrassingly ridiculous spin was). However, from what I understand, it was Magic's sales that were strikingly bad, not D&D's. This wouldn't be the...

    Decline of RPG sales

    You know, I believe Charles too. But not because he said it over and over. There are a LOT of things I hear said over and over by people in this industry that I know not to be true.

    Gay PCs or NPCs

    It was not the intention of the original creators of Rufus and Burne (who were PCs together and played through the adventure) that they were gay. However, it was absolutely my intention to portray them as such in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (there's only the one bedchamber for them...

    What do you have on you at the moment?

    In college, I suprised the group with a one-shot adventure that was a break in the regular campaign. It was just like you described. Everyone played themselves, with the stuff they had on them at the time. It was fun. Much funnier, however, was the next session, when--even though I told them...

    Check it out

    Have you seen this? http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=19316&mode=thread&order=0 John Nephew's giving out free books. I daresay you'd be foolish not to take advantage of this offer. Pretty cool. And Happy Birthday to John.

    What d20 author do you buy sight-unseen?

    Actually, I have some problems with Ryan's essay (I was there too). Albeit minor ones. And that's because most of the experiences were positive. I don't want to give the impression that it was terrible to work there. It wasn't. We had a blast. I probably laughed more in the years 1994-1998...
