Hey man, all generalizations are wrong in specific instances. I wasn't trying to bash you in any way, shape or form. I think you know that. I am more keyed on the Dragon articles when I said that. I guess generalizing to avoid naming specific articles then jumps up and insults the articles that...

Um, Ick Okay, I am sorry, I do love WotC and I think they have some of the best gamers around, and i think some of the people workign there are simply great, fun folks. That said, I think the Dungeon/Dragon Online bit so far has simply "blown chunks." If I was part of the marketing department...

It is an update of the original Dark Tower that was supposedly done for 3.0. Most people that got the copy that you have felt they did a terrible job converting it. I am guessing this conversion will be more true to the original JG module, but I haven't seen it so I couldn't tell you. Patrick

(1) Go ahead and email me with a few more details. (2) A scanned, hand-drawn map is fine. I will be getting someone to do maps. Speaking of (2) the person that was going to do some cartography and building drawings (exteriors) for me has just been informed he is going to Afghanistan in a few...

Okay, I took your suggestion and added the actual pay. Problem is that pay could be a bit variable for really long submissions. The pay in the entire RPG industry is crap, let's be completely honest here. I am trying to avoid paying a % of profits like most .pdf publishers for several reasons...

OPEN CALL-Writers I just wanted to let everyone know that there is an OPEN CALL for short submissions located here: http://www.genericuniverse.com/opencall.html Basically, I am looking for 2-4,000 word descriptions of city locations. This includes shops, guild houses, etc. Please check the...

Catalyst/Flying Buffalo Yes, Flying Buffalo has some great stuff. I will be modeling the City Streets line on the CityBook series with some differences for the .pdf market. Still playing with how I'll do art, compilations, etc. If you check deeply into RPG history there are similar products...

What are your greatest memories in gaming? Are they based on the game system, or on the GM and players you were with? Look again at that game module or supplement; was it the source of the fun, or merely a trigger sparking the imaginations of everyone at the table? Generic Universe Publishing...

Hmmm, how to approach this nicely and gently ... I have been a freelance writer, editor, and developer for about 7-8 years now and I am presently setting up a publishing company (actually making an official announcement on Monday but I have been setting things up for a while). I am saying this...

Cazundae, There are no agents in this business. I am afraid that the dirty little secret is that, well, RPG writing pays like crap (sorry grandma). There isn't enough money involved for any agent to bother wanting 10-15% of. You will have to sell your work yourself. I would suggest you look at...

Does anyone have any contact information for David Baxter of Visionary Games? It looks like the company is out of business and I can't find a valid email for him. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Patrick

Troll Lord Games runs a gaming convention at Lake Geneva in June. Here is a link: http://www.trolllord.com/newsite/events/lggc.html I believe they'll be expanding next year. If nothing else, I am sure Steve would be happy to give some suggestions/advice about setting up your Con. Otherwise you...

Wow, I type slowly, several response while I was trying to post the last response (the crying baby did slow me down ...). The video games I have seen are pretty much locked down as far as what you can do, they aren't open game worlds or anything. But that is an aside, I have heard she hasn't...

JK Rowling My guess is that you won't see any sort of Harry Potter RPG. As I understand it, JK Rowling does NOT like the idea of people playing "her" characters nor does she want to give others control over "her" world. I happen to know that a number of people have tried to get a license for...

Hehe, well, I did mention getting a lawyer to help me kill a new company someone was trying to form. He never charged me as he considered it part of trying to collect for me. I think the fact that the person in question sent the lawyer a threatening email might have helped. If the lawyer hadn't...

A number of freelancers have "gotten the shaft" over the years and usually the names of the publishers in question only come out in private conversations among artists and writers. Over the past 4 years I am owed almost $5,000 from a variety different publishers, several out of business and a...

[serious mode] Actually, I would believe this from amateurs, not professionals that really know what they are doing. True bodybuilders go out of their way to maintain flexibility along with increased strength and definition. When I used to lift weights more I knew several people that were either...

Frankly, I think it is about time, I was staying away from the threads for good reason. If you people truly like and care about ENWorld you will fully support Morrus and the Moderators as well as toning it down. People have said a lot of things on these boards that a lawyer would call...

Gencon I'll be going this year (again). Since the move to Indy I believe I missed one, BUT while it has been in Indy I have actually gone for all of it. I used to live in Milwaukee and when I would go "for GenCon" really, I was going to see family and friends and spent about 1-1 1/2 days at the...

ROFL, that is cold ... ;)
