    Does EN World favor pdf publishers?

    Favor? No, not particularly. The number of threads discussing the actual play and use of print products *far* outweighs the number of threads about the use and play of PDF products. Have more impact? Most definatly! The synergy of ENworld has been a major contribution to the whole PDF publishing...

    Ummm... I have no doubt WATER won't be a problem. Now DRINKING Water OTOH. THAT could be a problem. Stay safe guys!

    Sidewinder & D20 Future

    Yes. We maintained the same "damage curve" philosophy in S:R, so the weapons will work together. But don't blame us if you run into a Rifleman with 2 Rail guns! *Shudder*

    Sidewinder & D20 Future

    Just off the top of my head: For Skills: Add "Computer Use" back in and add a new class to the "Operate Vehicle" skill "Operate Vehicle (starships)". For Feats: Add back "Burst Fire" "Gear Head" and the "Vehicle Expert" tree (with a prereq. of the proper "Vehicle Proficiency" feat, and...

    D20 Past = 96 page softcover? Now I'm depressed.

    Oh? I beg to differ.

    D20 Future + Sidewinder: Recoiled=Firefly?

    Unlike Geoff, I have seen Firefly. I actually picked up the DVD of the full series and just finished watching up thru disc 2. And I'm still reading the d20 Future. I'll get back to ya'll on my thoughts on how the S:R and Future integrate. So far my instincts tell me it's more a matter of...

    When did the wild west stop being cool?

    The Wild West is uncool? Funny :confused: ...No one told us. :D Sidewinder: Recoiled = 3 ENnie nominations :D Worth of uncool Wild West goodness. :D (Shameless plug alert: And on sale now at RPGNow for a mere $8.25).

    ENnies Nominations for 2004

    Another miss there BK. ;) Sidewinder: Recoiled is d20 Modern under the mask. And while I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Judges for their nod in our direction. THANKS!!!

    Does it pay to publish?

    Hey Arnix, You've made a miscalculation there. Your mixing up Margin vs. Markup. I see this confusion all the time. RPGNow takes 25% of the Selling Price (that's Margin), which equals a 1/3 of Cost (that's a 33% Markup). So as a publisher if you want to see a net of $5 from each unit, and the...

    d20 Past?

    Well, as far as d20Past covering the Wild West (i.e. Boot Hill) using the d20 Modern ruleset/model, I think they're a wee bit late. :D It's been done. Sidewinder:Recoiled Need I say more.

    RPGNow and the competition . . .

    So let me get this straight. DTRPG wants to take a 50% margin on PDF sales? Are they nuts? That's a higher margin than most FLGS's can hope to get on an actual print book. And those PDF's have a limited marketability because of DRM. Hubris, sheer hubris.

    Invasion of the 5-10 page PDFs . . .

    either that, or we're just blowhards. :lol:

    Invasion of the 5-10 page PDFs . . .

    The gang here at the Dog House seemed to be failing too. Our first new "leaner, meaner" product Frontier Towns: Fort Griffin Vol.1 just came back from layout: 55 pages! (not counting the seperate "maps" files) Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to keep trying. :) Maybe we'll just do...

    [PR] A Bounty of Press Releases from Alternate Realities Publications

    I could be wrong, but I believe HE was a casualty of the DTRPG/DRM debate bannings a few weeks back. Thus Mr. Sinclair's presence for ARP's press releases and announcements.

    Action Points Accrual

    Actually, you did the math wrong. A 10th level character that somehow managed to reach 10th level without spending any action points would have a total of 75 (5+6+6+7+7+8+8+9+9+10). The most common house rule for starting characters at higher levels is to only give them the last levels worth of...

    Gaming and life in Denver, Colorado?

    Denver and the Front Range have a fairly decent gaming community. For FLGS's try Attactix, Black and Read, Valhalla... (those are just the ones of the top of my head).

    stoopid newbie to d20 question

    Well, Sidewinder:Recoiled and d20Modern mix together perfectly, since S:R uses the d20Modern ruleset. As to adding 3.5 Monsters into the mix, I don't see any big issues there at all, but most 3.5 monsters should probably be considered a level or two higher for d20Modern campaigns, since without...
