A number of publishers, even a few very small publishers, have obtained permission to use limited WotC material in some products. Despite the popular internet theory of the "evil corporate empire," WotC is generally willing to grant permission. All this means is that they exert somewhat tighter...

Okay, I think most things have been covered several times. I'll mention a few quick items that you'll want to consider. If you have gaming in the store, and serve or allow food, (even just from vending machines) you are going to need to check into local laws. I am pretty certain you need to...

Who is the contract with? Who gets the money? How much money? If someone (or a group) writes an adventure for your company and you can't find someone to "publish" it, do they get paid? Do you publish it? Can they shop it around on their own? Is it going to be print? pdf? is payment by word...

I posted an answer to this in the topic dealing with adventures in the General forums. You won't like it, but it is one opinion. Patrick

I have had some major problems with their customer service myself. I am afraid you'll only solve them by calling up Paizo directly (in my case, 3 times).

Okay, I have a strange bias here, I already write adventures for Necromancer Games, so keep that in mind when you read my reply. I don't think this is workable. Companies want clear authorship of a work that they are interested in publishing. You get a group of 20 people "writing" something in...

Mucknuggle, We have at least one DragonLance/Necrogames fan on the board that has converted and run Necro modules in his DragonLance setting. I know that Eryx has run "Hall of the Rainbow Mage" and I am pretty sure that he has also run "What Evil Lurks." I believe he has used bits and pieces of...

Okay, I don't know the exact status on this whole thing, but I can say this, anyone from GenCon saying that the Brickyard was moved and thus the conflict would appear wrong. As I understand it, the Brickyard is ALWAYS the first weekend of August. If it is held at the later August date suggested...

Yeah, Jim Collura did Caverns of Thracia. I was the one working on CSIO (City State of the Invincible Overlord). Poor Clark has so much material dumped on his desk right now we just hope he remembers his own name when it is all done. Clark has posted some more information on some of the design...

Strangely enough, I drink water. Sure, I drink some Coke, but usually just water. I guess I do drink sodas while gaming though. hmmm, and eat tons of chips and other snacks. Yeesh, if I had to lose weight, I'd probably have to quit gaming. If you are trying to lose weight, switch to drinking...

It sounds to me like you people are asking for a campaign setting. There is no way we can write a module that gives you everything you ask for without creating cities, political powers, etc. That isn't a module, that is a campaign setting. About the only way someone can write a high level...

Well, when I clicked on this thread I was expecting things like: "It's soooo hot that ..." In most of the southern US people do have air conditioning. If not, definitely fans. The wet towel idea in the window is a good one, if your humidity is low enough. Combine that with fans creating air...

Monkey God doesn't necessarily have a huge internet presence, but this doesn't mean that they don't have good products. I believe I have seen a number of their products in various gaming stores. In other words, they are in distribution, do sell modules, but don't have the internet presence (at...

Joe, A number of companies, designers, and authors have had access to draft copies of the 3.5 material. This is *NOT* the SRD. It is an important distinction. We have been able to ask Andy Smith for confirmation about what will or won't be in the SRD but none of us has a copy of the SRD for 3.5...

Thomas, The main hurricane should miss Houston completely. They still aren't sure exactly where it'll make landfall. Houston might get some rain, T-storms, high winds, etc. but nothing that should be overly damaging or dangerous. Here in San Antonio (depending on the course of the storm) we'll...

Re: WalMart Book Business 101 Ah, so my guess that the books I saw might have been a return may have been on the money then? I don't recall seeing multiple copies, just seeing the book(s) on the shelf. If I recall correctly one of my boys noticed them. I am pretty sure it was a Wal-mart.

I am pretty sure I saw some of the 3rd edition DnD core books at a Wal-mart one time. Surprised me though. I have a feeling that would be very dependant on the manager. If a Wal-mart store does sell some, I doubt they'll break release. Remember, if you buy something at Wal-mart.com you can...

First, I mean no insult whatsoever when I say this. I can tell you right now I won't even bother to look. I don't like registrations at all. I already have one "dump" mailbox that I use to have spam sent to. It receives over 100 messages a day, of which 95% are filtered automatically. I...

As far as cleaning mats goes, I have found that baby diaper wipes work wonderfully. They have enough gentle detergent to get the marker off without fading any printed lines. Pigments from the colored overhead markers are more likely to stain than the black (don't ask me why), but anything can...

Most games I have played in simply use XP from the character the item is being made for. In other words, if you are making a +2 flaming longsword for the fighter in the group, the fighter "donates" the XP cost. The mage/cleric whatever must take the time to make it. Forcign the cleric or wizard...
