    AE Combat Rites and ToB: Bo9S Maneuvers

    I did? I guess it's possible, but the timing doesn't seem quite right (Mike wasn't working for us yet, I don't think).

    Sticking w/ 3.5: Any Publishers?

    I was certainly expecting our pdf sales to drop off after the 4E announcement, but it hasn't happened. They've in fact remained strangely (almost predictably) stable for the last six or eight months. All the more surprising because we haven't released any new products until last week. BoXM has...

    Chicago Gameday XVIII: the aftermath!

    Looks like a great time. Sorry I couldn't make it this time around. I'm going to try to make the next one, though.

    HellHound's Maps - Underdark and Beyond (13 Maps)

    Great stuff. Most of these fit into my upcoming campaign really nicely. Yoink!

    Expedition To.... / Which Expedition do you want to see next?

    You know, quite a while back, I got a call from WotC, saying they'd like me to work on something called "Expedition to the Demonweb Pits." I'd never heard of any of the "Expedition" products yet, and so my immediate thought was, "They're combining Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and Queen of the...

    How did RPGs grab you?

    Sunday School. Two kids (brothers) were talking about the game they'd played the previous night before Sunday school started when I was about 10. I heard them talking about a magic crown and lizardmen and was entranced. I asked them about it and one of them unhelpfully said "it's a game where...

    The "Lost" Planescape Sigil Book

    Yeah, it's called Guide to the Ethereal Plane. There actually wasn't meant to be. There was supposed to be a follow-up adventure that put Sigil back together again. But then the line was cancelled.

    The "Lost" Planescape Sigil Book

    If I had it, you could. But sadly, somewhere between Lake Geneva and Renton, it disappeared. Gone forever. Too bad, too, I was really happy with it. Regarding City of Sin, Erik, send me an email and let me know what you want to know.

    Why Is This On the WotC Site?

    I've seen this movie, and enjoyed it very much. It's fun, creative, and funny, and features D&D quite prominently.

    The "Lost" Planescape Sigil Book

    It was going to be called A Guide to the Cage and written by Zeb Cook. Most of the material that was indeed written (but not used) was incorporated into Faction War. (Faction War, although an adventure, has a sizable source material section.) So basically, it's an unpublished book that was...

    Chicago Gameday XVII ROCKED: The Aftermath...

    Sure, I don't, but then, I'm not a mutant that is friends with a big blue guy and a little lizard guy and a girl who controls minds, all surrounded by intelligent badgers and free-thinking robots where it seems to regularly rain green, glowing water. I think that kind of thing might change your...

    Chicago Gameday XVII ROCKED: The Aftermath...

    I had a great time. Many thanks to Buzz and Games Plus, as well as Barrendd Nobeard, Sqwonk and Pbartender for running very fun games. I enjoyed meeting and gaming with lots of new people and enjoyed the warm welcome that I got from everyone. I still don't understand why eating the meat of...

    Monte Cook on target audience of RPG Supplements

    Thanks. That's exactly it. Oh, and so industry people can stop feeling put on the defensive, the article being quoted is talking about the industry climate of the early to mid 1990s, not today, or even the last five or ten years. Most of the people I am obliquely referring to don't even work on...

    Dragon/Dungeon cancellation: The industry reacts (New Monte Cook commentary)

    Which, in fact, is why I wrote in that very post: "Some of what we miss can't necessarily be fully recaptured, but it's also true that it should be preserved for those who actually are new to the game. In other words, while old and jaded players may think that magic fountains are boring, a new...

    An interesting conundrum with the DI...thoughts?

    Someone directly involved in the issue basically quit over it, so I'd say it was a pretty real issue. There have been influential people inside the company gunning for Dungeon since the beginning of 3E, if not before. I know because they told me so. That said, I don't necessarily know or even...

    Need a farewell gift for my gaming group

    Two weeks might be somewhat unreasonable, simply because they're probably already booked. If you're willing to pay $200-$300, that's enough to get a single illo from even the high end artists in our industry. Pick an artist in a book that you like, do a Google search, and find his or her...

    Need a farewell gift for my gaming group

    I agree. If you're really willing to spend a couple hundred dollars, you could get a really top-notch artist to do an illustration of the group.

    Chicago Gameday XVII ROCKED: The Aftermath...

    Sign me up for Game 2 in Slot 1 and Game 2 in Slot 2. I'll try to be there for Slot 0, but it's more than an hour drive, I think, so that might be unlikely.
