Nope. Mike's working on something big and ultra-cool for much later in the year next year. Arcana Evolved is something I wrote, and something that we'll officially announce in (probably early) October. But one big, ultra-cool thing at a time. ;) Beyond Countless Doorways fits that bill at the...

It's impossible to track print sales to the appearance of a review in order to know how it influenced people. With pdf sales, however, it's pretty easy, since I can track them day by day (hour by hour if I wanted). And I can say that the appearance of a review almost never has any noticeable...

I think making the kroot into a D&D race is a great idea. I've got a bunch of them, wanting to do the same thing for my campaign, but I haven't got 'round to it. The kroot hounds (I think that's what they're called) are cool looking as well, I think.

None taken. We pride ourselves in not churning out books. Plus, we take the time playtest everything. I'd rather have one really well-written book by Mike, playtested and edited by Sue, than three that he rushed out the door. But in addition, just for a grounding in publishing reality, I've got...

Not only that, but in the photo-cover that's Paul in the middle with the helmet. (Something I like to kid him about.) I really like both BoTM and Dark Tower. I'm guessing that to a new reader, BoTM might hold up a bit better. Dark Tower was a treasure for its time but might read like an "orc...

If you're looking for data points, for whatever it's worth, Malhavoc pdf products sell well over 200 in 90 days. (I also don't believe in the 90 day sales window for electronic products. We still sell BoEM at a steady rate and that product is 3 years old.) I say this for one reason only, and...

Wonderworld in Burien has a good selection. Gary Games (I think it's called) is a nice (not so little) store, more centrally located. If you're willing to drive about (?) an hour, north of Olympia is Olympic Cards and Comics, which is one of the best stores I've seen in a while. Two floors of...

Actually, Planescape continued for a year after WotC bought TSR. Dead Gods, Tales from the Infinite Staircase, Faction War, and other products came out with the WotC logo.

This is probably my favorite module of all time, any edition. I've run it twice, although the second time I only used the Fane of Lolth. I liked this module so much I included a trip back to the Vault in Dead Gods. This was probably the first "open-ended" module where the PCs have more of a...

I really love this module. I've used it many times. Once, when I was about 13, and had nothing to do on a Saturday, so I ran the pregenerated characters through the adventure all by myself. The thing was, I'd lost my dice at the time, or at least some of them and since I was alone I had no one...

I really like this series. I'd run it as a conversion today if I could find a group that wasn't familiar with them (I have the same feelings about the GDQ series). A1 and A4 are two of the only 1st Edition modules that I played in and did not run. And what debacles they were! A1 was the...

I liked it too. While the whole thing doesn't fit my campaign, I'd happily steal some of the encounters and whatnot here and there, except of course for the fact that Erik Mona's a player in my game. And as for the strangely shaped passages and rooms, I know what you mean. Personally, I love...

The limitation is more for flavor than mechanics. In AU, the craft one-use item and craft charged item feats have no such limitations. But, every 8th and 9th level spell has a x1.5 to x2 cost multiplier for one-use items for a bit of balance (on the reasoning that although a 9th level potion...

But you do have the choice. I offer products for Adobe 6.0 through DriveThru and earlier versions through our Sword&Sorcery catalog.

The catalog at swordsorcery.com was always my primary source for selling pdfs. The majority of my sales were through that site, which was driven by links from our own website (actually, most of our sales through RPGNow were as well, but that's another matter). I won't be returning to RPGNow, and...

Yes, but it seemed to have got lost in all the noise. DriveThru is bringing all kinds of new publishers and new customers into the pdf market. That's good for me as a pdf seller. Simple as that.

Damn.

I both played in and ran this module. I really have a fondness for it, because for me it represents all the silly but really fun (emphasis on fun) cliches of dungeon design: Chessboard room? Check. Rooms devoted to all four elements? Check. Multi-part magical key that needs to be assembled...

As I said in my column, it's because I so heartily support the idea of other, print-only publishers, entering into the electronic market. I've always done what I could to support the idea that electronic products are quality products and worth people's time. I entered the field (long before...
