    there's room to make traders out of the minotaurs, elves, and duegar in regions F, H, and D respectively. this requires some leaps in logic and/or creation of runners who carry the goods to be traded from one place to the next. this would also allow elves to escape from H more easily. but an...

    Please do not misinterpret my tone. AEG is in charge of AEG. For whatever reason AEG wasn't up for any Origins awards, either. This may be for a number of reason, but its a sign that organizers of 3rd party activities in this industry aren't very attentive. While I worked for AEG, there were...

    redistribute as you see fit Dear Person Who is Reading this Right Now: It is with a heavy sigh that I have announced my resignation from Alderac Entertainment Group. After 8 and a half years of game design, writing, editing, and art direction, it is time for me to move on. I am finishing off...

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

    brilliant wow. brilliant. i recommend glancing over Room D53 and seeing if that gnome (shudder) is useful at all to your story. he doesn't have to be a level 16 wizard, but the two could be involved with one another. especially since their stories are very similar. also, someone asked about...

    World's Largest City (see your name in lights)

    Well. Its not like I'm any smarter about making a cool baker than you are. And frankly everyone has at least ONE good idea. Except for the guy who sent me the harp-maker ... kidding. On a side note, we're not looking for mundane. We want butchers and candlestick makers, but we want them to be...

    It becomes a question of first publishing rights, ownership, etc. We can't use it if YOU don't own it. If you post it here, it becomes public domain and that's a weird topic I don't even want to get into. Needless to say, copyright law is going to go through some changes in the next 5 years...

    keep them coming I know I've been quiet lately (and I don't really have time to even write this), but I wanted to say that I like what I'm reading and I wish I could be chiming in with more ideas. I'd like to hear more stories of people running through Region N. I spent nearly a month editing...

    What would you have done?

    Thanks for the notes, Mr. Morrow. Good points. Let me expand my point. A self-righteous paladin is going to run around killing and judging in his gods name. But this isn't LG, this is LN. LG sets a higher standard. It does not choose between ends and means. It chooses BOTH. The prisoners were...

    What would you have done?

    three cents I typically try to keep my gaming opinions to myself. And I rarely, if ever, soapbox online, because as a game designer, I have a reputation... good or bad... that I must recognize, if nothing else. Albeit, I'm still an honest person, but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you that...
