    Morrick Mansion

    Eek! Saw this and was sure it was a typo from me. Checked the back cover of my copy and found out it wasn't. Sigh of relief, the back cover has "for 4-6 characters ..." I think people are going to like this adventure, I hope I am right. I don't think Clark (Orcus) has mentioned this, but...

    FastForwardGames & Reviews: The Confrontation

    I was unimpressed by Mr. Ward's column and the "veiled venom" as some have put it. I have seen numerous reviews panning FFE products that said exactly why the reviewer didn't like them, giving examples. I have also seen numerous reviews pointing out OGL/SRD problems. If Mr. Ward actually read...

    Dungeon magazine says maybe more vile. Huzzah!

    Wow, "vile" vs "non-vile" whatever in the hell you guys are defining into these categories is certainly creating an uproar. I don't care if WotC creates "vile" material for specific books. If it sells, go for it. I do care if Dungeon and Dragon use "vile" (by my definition, see below) material...

    Publisher Opinions of FFE Events?

    Actually, as I understand it, they received permission in such a manner that they didn't need to include an OGC statement. It is still rather funny that they went through the trouble of including it and then got it wrong. Patrick

    Worried about new minis?

    For me there isn't really a downside. I have people in my gaming group that have astoundingly well-painted minis for the rare dragons, liches, and nasty-bads. You can never have enough boring old goblins, ogres, orcs, trolls, zombies, and skeletons. I figure someone buying a ton of 8-packs up...

    [ENnies] Categories

    Yeah, you are right, every WotC book does have one. I wasn't thinking. There goes that excuse I suppose. That is what I get for posting while tired and not thinking clearly. Personally, I would say let 5 judges choose the nominees, and then get different judges to vote on the items. Then you...

    Okay, seems like lots of debates going on. Last I heard the official name of the awards was: "Gen Con EN World d20 System Awards" This implies that any d20 product should be allowed in. As for WotC in or out, people are going to complain either way. I don't see a d20 logo on the WotC modules...

    OGL, d20 limitations

    It is nice to see that you are doing your best to go even further in insulting people in the industry. I don't know where you intend to publish, but you are now disparaging one of the nicest people at WotC and have, so far, insulted two of the publishers most willing to look at unpublished...

    OGL, d20 limitations

    Eek, for being nice and posting a reply, people are going to spam you with questions about monsters, quick, hide! Bleh, can't type, sick baby in my lap. My point, WotC has a lot of great, helpful people, ask them a question (nicely), and you'll get an answer. Anthony Valterra just proved that...

    OGL, d20 limitations

    Re: This might just be a culture and upbringing thing... I am sorry, but all I see in your posts is a failure to understand the OGL, OGC, and the d20 STL/ SRD. All this union and upbringing BS aside. There is a reason for the word "property" in "Intellectual Property." WotC chose to share...

    Update SRD - Critters

    Does anyone have any sort of official word on this from WotC? It is possible that it was an oversight, that they had info. from the revised editions included and decided not to put it out, who knows? WotC has been very good about the SRD and SRD issues. They are also very good about granting...

    NDA Early access to 3.5 rules for d20 Print Publishers

    Wow! This appears to be getting out of control. I don't know why I am jumping back into the fray. I guess I have a few minutes until lunch is ready. I can't recall any negative comments I made vs pdfs, I think d20Dwarf's statements weren't meant to be as negative as people took them. The...

    NDA Early access to 3.5 rules for d20 Print Publishers

    <I clipped the quote a bit> First, congrats on the new baby. My third child is almost 6 months old and is in my lap at the moment. Second, the OGL does not mean that a large company should take huge risks to give material away before they have a chance to publish it. The truth is, DnD is not...

    NDA Early access to 3.5 rules for d20 Print Publishers

    Sigil, It does seem like you are on a rant there. I never said anything about the time and effort of pdf publishing vs. print. There IS a longer lag time with print and a print product is virtually impossible to update, not so with pdf. There is also a larger up-front expenditure when going to...

    NDA Early access to 3.5 rules for d20 Print Publishers

    While it doesn't seem terribly fair, it sounds to me simply like Wizards is trying to reduce some of their own expenditures doing something that, quite frankly, they don't have to do at all. With the hacking, pirating, etc. that goes on they pretty much have to restrict the pre-release info to...

    [Dungeon] Dungeon/Polyhedron Goes Monthly

    I smell smoke. Face facts, some people are going to like Poly, some are going to like Dungeon. Personally, I liked the "old" Poly. You know, the Poly before they decided to have d20 mini games in each issue (as each issue). Polyhedron 148: Raven's bluff material, not all that useful to me, but...

    (DaemonEye) Psionics Handbook Companion

    I admit it, I am tired, only got 2 hours of sleep last night. Anyway, this made me laugh my ass off, and I have only read quotes from FATAL sent to me by flabbergasted friends or posted on the board. Strutinan, You have already demonstrated a lack of understanding of the basic d20/SRD/OGL...

    [Dragon/Dungeon] Help! I'm no longer receiving my magazines

    You are probably going to have to call their customer service and speak to someone directly. A real pain in the rear for someone overseas, but I don't think that Paizo has everything together for distribution/customer service at the moment. I know several people that have had subscription...

    How do you plan to handle the revised SRD?

    Despite the rampant speculation and rambling, I doubt that this is going to alter any d20 projects, present or near-time future. All I forsee is the addition of a few more feats to the revised PHB and maybe a minor change to ranger "virtual feats" as well as errata inclusions and some spell...

    {DRAGON] Will there be a DRAGON Annual this year?

    This is looking like a real flame war brewing. Anyway, I keep copies of all orders. Last time I re-upped I paid for "13 issues a year." I have it documented, what is Paizo going to do about it? I am sure they don't have to do anything, but if other people used the same order form I did, it...
