    The market dying?

    Gods, if that were only true. But that isn't how the standard book retail end works. If I order 100 units the invoice for ALL 100 units comes due in 30 days (on average). I may however have "returns privelages" for 180 to 365 days (again -- on average). Then I can wait for anywhere from 30 to...

    self-publishing

    With all due respect, probably as well in PDF as Print. Especially for an unknown, and with a LOT less risk. But since the OP seems to be intent on embarking into the thrilling and exciting world of publishing, I'll give some more specific advise on publishing. Now some of this may seem obvious...

    self-publishing

    This question to those that ask about self-publishing can NEVER be repeated enough: Are you really interested in being a PUBLISHER or just being PUBLISHED? 9 times out of 10 the answer really is "I think I have some cool stuff and I really want to share it with the gaming world at large and...

    Calling all Grognards

    The Argas from Dragon (#53 I think, the cover's missing from the copy I found after a quick search so all I can say for sure is Sept. 81). Reptilian Humanoids. Gained Powers and HD by eating "magic". Gained AC by eating certain metals. Edit: Interesting Issue...Includes the *Upgrading the Monk*...

    True20 and Modern Games

    Yep, RR's hit it on the head. Without F/X True20 can end up like a three-legged stool with one leg missing. However, if you look closely at any genre without F/X you will see that there is a 3rd archetype that can be extrapolated to replace the missing Class. The Social Adept. This character...

    [True20] Natural Armor?

    Well since "damage" only occurs on a failed Toughness save, and Dragons are some Real Tough Sunsabeaches, I would just up their Toughness by giving them a Bonus to their Toughness saves. If that's even neccessary, I mean they already have a high Con, a Bonus for Size, and probably Great...

    Publishers: Why'd you name your company what you did?

    So saith the man with four of 'em. :p And if the whole local gang were to get together along with all of their canine companions it would be what? 11 nahhhh, nothing to do with dogs at all.

    Party Let Down

    So Time Lords are involved huh? Then the answer is simple: REWIND. Next session start everybody out standing right where they were either exactly right at the end of the big combat or exactly one round before Ustran popped in. They remember what happened/will happen, yet here they are BEFORE it...

    [Green Ronin] Announcing the True20 Setting Search

    The way I see it: The mechanics are OGL, but "True20 and the True20 Logo" are not. So it's exactly like d20 and the SRD: Two seperate licenses. Except in this case GR wants to pre-approve who uses the True20 license, verses WOTC's post-publishing disapproval process for the d20 license.

    Magic - the smallest difference in the world. . . .

    1st Level? Nope. 0 Level. Guidance. That simple extra 5% chance of succes on anything and everything I do to survive puts me ahead of the rest. Teach it to my children, and their children.

    Amazon.com no longer giving discounts?

    Nope. As someone in the business, it has absolutly nothing to do with a difference in markup between hardcover and paperback. It is strictly due to common sense business practice. The standard publishers discount for both "Trade" and "Mass Market" titles runs (on the average) between 40 and...

    "You enter a 10 ft. x 10 ft. room. You see Cthulhu. Roll for Initiative."

    What I want to know is: Does he have Pie?

    Lightsaber duel turns deadly

    Not true. You can survive and still get the award. But your injuries have to insure that you can no longer procreate and the genetic chain ends with you.

    A Sore Thumb: Ways for a Chinese girl to stand out?

    A simple shock/streak of white hair. Made even more memorable if she was wearing some kind of headcovering that fell off during the performance.

    Character concept

    Ignoring all of the Stat and Min/Maxing issues, let's look at why the stat's may be as they are, and what has caused a man to devout his life to a Dragon's God. Perhaps the character was born in an area bordering one of the evil lands. As a child his home village was overrun by the evil rulers...

    Sidewinder Recoiled Character Sheet?

    Nope. We keep meaning to get one done up right proper, but it ain't happened just yet.

    [The Kyngdoms] PDF Preview

    Just a suggestion, but instead of a blind button maybe a simple URL to the PDF. I much prefer downloading PDF's as a background process. Thanks.
