Actually, I don't know that Apple really does charge all that much for their services, at least not when I count what I receive for my money. That is a different debate though. I am rather surprised by this. Apple has plenty of available technology and software to record programs etc. on a Mac...

hearsay ... Based on total hearsay... I think the legal problems had something to do with contracts being "variable." In other words, a contract with someone like Gygax would be different than a "newbie" writer. This meant that some authors (and artists) were able to retain certain rights with...

C&C Modules To the best of my knowledge there are no plans for any Necromancer Games C&C modules in the near future. Our production schedule is basically full and when you combine that with the fact that conversion of d20 modules (or old AD&D modules) to C&C is really not that difficult and...

My wife and I were discussing this last week. We feel like the show is on a fast fade right now. I don't know if there has been a massive change in the writing team or what has happened but it definitely doesn't have the interest for me that it used to.

Um, I think it is more interesting to note that Kinsey knows that they don't have enough power to power-up the ancient weapon right now. (at least that is they way I recall things).

Dtrpg/jg The scans are the best Clark could get ahold of. Most are pretty good, some are excellent. They should be converted to watermarked .pdfs sometime in the future, I have no idea where they would be in line. As simple scans, these are not going to have the same level of functionality...

In a game I once played in, an elven PC walked in and asked. Ol' One-Eye crit him in the first blow, the DM's description, "Coldwind runs screaming from the shop, blood gushing through a huge tear in his robes, chased by a cursing madman with a large axe." The game got more entertaining that...

Csio I am glad some people seem to like the City State so much. I did my very best to hold true to the original, while bringing things up to more "modern standards." I'll try to answer a few of the questions/comments here. This book is designed as a DM aid and is not really for first-time...

Glades Glades is coming out in April. We made a printer change that altered our release schedule for early 2005. After about July we should be back on track. We try to keep that info updated on our boards. As Glades gets closer I'll post more about some of the material in the book, including...

This is basically true for gaming books as well. The index (if there is one) is made last (after the initial layout) and it is made "by hand." We put an index in CSIO (City State of the Invincible Overlord) and it took me a very long time to create it. It also has a mistake or two that I missed...

Well, some interesting theories. I am pretty sure that Rowling NEVER said that a main character would die. I believe she said (or confirmed) that another character would die. I believe the "major character" and "main character" bits have been "internet additions." If I were to guess though...

Will, Necromancer Games will consider submissions. Our production schedule is pretty full right now, but this does not mean we won't take new submissions. What it does mean is that you probably won't see your adventure/book in print until 2006 or 2007. If you aren't a published freelancer...

Costco If you have kids and/or ever buy anything in quantity the membership is worth it. It is also worth it if you need a set of tires. In general, places like Costco and Sam's have great prices on tires. They also often have good prices on DVD's and electronics, though the selection is...

Okay, continuing on … Problem: value of winning an Ennie. Obviously, some of us have different views on this. Until the awards become more established and more well-known they aren’t going to have a market impact. This means that right now they would be considered “vanity awards” (I do NOT mean...

Okay, my lag time yesterday made it almost impossible for me to post and respond to other’s posts. My post would go up after several people had already said the same things. I am going to try to split responses into two posts (both will be long). ByronD, I think you should comment and be part...

Morrus, Nothing I have said is meant as an attack or an insult. Simply a response to other things that have been posted. My advice about getting the big publishers involved is, I believe, a major point. At the same time, I think you need to keep the small publishers involved, the added costs of...

ByronD, Right now it doesn't really cost that much to enter the contest. Shipping costs and time are more expensive than the actual books given up for the awards. Shipping the physical books costs more $ than giving up the books themselves. The main proposal I have seen discussed is having...

I posted some of this in the original thread, but I am posting some of it again. Funding: Okay, funding can't come from the companies/people submitting products. Sorry, it just can't. Even if you make it "voluntary" people won't feel that it is voluntary and any large donor that wins is going...

Oops! The dreaded double post!

CL, If you don't think that a few extra dollars for shipping isn't going to keep some people out of the awards, you have another thing coming. It has already been pointed out that not only does this add expense in terms of $, it also adds expense in terms of time and effort. The awards and...
