    Grand Prize That said. The first person (in the United States) to post a photo of themselves (I guess it could be your cat) with a picture of the Ultimate Toolbox in hand opened to page 137 (which we can clearly see) will receive: One copy of Toolbox One copy of the World's Largest City One...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    There are a hundred ways for me to answer this, but it all boils down to the most under-described role of the GM in any RPG book you'll ever read… administration. The GM's role in a game is to make things appear seamless, whether or not they actually are. Keeping challenges just out of range of...

    So... in order to rock I have to give away free stuff? Hmm Not sure how comfortable I am with that. Couldn't we just agree that I've done a lot of good for 3.x with my various books and be happy with that? Huh? Really? Okay… fine… you twisted my arm… make the list. Haha. *Looks over letter...

    That's too bad. Another fun encounter, maybe not enough followers and hit points, though. Some people are playing a very different version of D&D than I am.

    wow. i'm really sorry this didn't make the book, jeff. really. *rolls eyes* how about some patrons and workers for these brothels, as well, jeff? actually, that could get dicey in terms of "acceptable" material

    love brigadoon, man this would be an awesome locale for the start of a TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL style campaign… starts slow, grows into the haunted banshee-made swamp (or whatever), and then you find out something else lurks deeper that remained hidden until the banshee was defeated. btw...

    You ARE running Night Below, that's super. I ran that entire campaign a while back and everyone had a blast. And that Toolbox, yeah, folks say that's pretty useful. Oh yeah. :p -DM Jeff Careful, Jeff. I think your old man, selective memory forgets how many times jim rushed in and fixed your...

    Yeah. I sent it out, Greg. And I will be there at the con, but AEG will not. Should I bring some Tomb to the con? Or maybe a copy of the UT to tease you with.

    That's subjective. :) Okay. Everyone's SPECIAL packages (did I say that?) are going out by the end of this week. And I expect lots of fun posts when you get them… I'm looking at you Sigurd. Next week, I will announce another round of DIFFERENT prizes and Jeff will post yet another FREE pdf...

    Yeah. Kinda anticlimactic way to handle an otherwise fun battle. There are all kinds of "cheats" you could have used to stall this "fish in a barrel of force" but the end result would have been the same… PCs win. This is the sort of thing that we tried to avoid in writing the adventure in the...

    Fine. Everyone gets something special. In fact, in the process of EVERYONE being special, none of you are special anymore. How does that feel? Way to go, Treebore. :) In all seriousness, everyone should write to me off list with their address and screenname so I can ship them some nice books...

    And the Nominees are… In lieu of the over-hyped and ego-driven Academy Award nominee announcements, I thought it time to announce the nominees for the latest prize of FIVE books and FIVE hit points. In no particular order (other than alphabetical): Greg K Sigurd Treebore (who already won a...

    I like that answer. Let's go with that. Yeah. Actually. Looks like when I built the index PDF, i didn't redo the page numbers. I should fix that, huh?
