Well I have a hook too. Katy belly dances, does beads, and does stamping and polymer clay... so she can of course, make more beads. When she comments on the brown boxes of books that arrive I can turn about and comment on coils of wire, boxes of beads, and jewelry racks that adorn our bedroom...

Does this mean the production quality of the print is less? Will I be unable, for example, to get the book printed as a hardbound? I dislike softback books. Will it be all black and white or color? Etc.

What is the difference between a full print release and Print on Demand? I've not ever purchased a POD product before, and I find PDF's less than useful. I'm a bit of an antique that way. ;)

Well, all the talk about EL and CR is fine, and I understand the gist of folks meaning, but I really don't think it matters all that much. I think the CR system is really more a way of helping new GM's balance encounters and avoid either TPKing groups or boring them with endlessly pathetic...

Yeah, I wasn't really teaching any lessons here. These are experienced role-players who forgot to point out to me that they were increasing the guard on their ship. The party leader later told me that he assumed that it would be done... so if there was a lesson to be learned here I suppose it...

Okay, so a 21st level wizards captures a party of 17th level heroes and spirits them back to the big bad evil boss base so the boss can do some posturing and show how tough they are. This makes little sense to me, and REALLY heavy handed. If they can capture the PC's then they can kill them...

Yes Blood Jester I can see how that would be uncomfortable for a player if they didn't expect it. Nino's player is a great guy with a really fun sense of humor (not silly, he's a great role-player). Grendel's player is more serious (plays the stubborn stoic Dwarf to the hilt) and a DM in his own...

If I don't feel a bit of regret over killing a character one of two things is happening; the character is completly unestablished (which is almost impossible because I require background write ups and work with Players on creating good ones), or I'm annoyed at the player. In the second case I...

I can see your argument. I gave the Assassin a great deal of consideration. He was after all a well paid and highly professional individual, no ninja super spy type, but very capable. He watched the ship from a rented space that overlooked the pier, watching their routine and waiting for his...

If I estimated the cost of the Assassination it would be in the 7000sp range... a very considerable sum of money, but we are talking about a man to whom wealth is meaningless. Power, prestige, and being right IS important, even if it's only superficial. This merchant is heavily involved Zoa's...

We discussed it for an hour before the game started last night. The power gamer was very unhappy, didn't want to claim that he was unhappy becasue he doesn't want to be labeled a munchkin, but those are his game tendancies. I didn't want to tell him that it was okay to enjoy playing that type of...

Fair enough, though I don't think it was over powered. An experienced proffesional Assassin clubbing a sleeping Dwarf in a hold filled with 30+ men and then dragging the body up the hold ladder back to his employer through the harbor...? Er... kinda hard for me to get on the same page with you...

Custom poision. Maidens Kiss DC:18 Dam:1d6 con/ 6 +1d6 con Contact (2,500sp. dose) I've altered poision prices to fit my lower treasure awards, and I play a silver standard not a gold standard. He has a +8 fortitude save (+10 vs poison) and he missed them both AND his save vs the Coup de Grace...

I agree that thier precautions were insufficent, I'm not sure why they didn't increase security, particuarly after the very expensive posion was used against the dwarf. I'm not a killer GM, however my games are dangerous. One player is on his third character. I don't refuse to kill PC's, I just...

I run a Kingdom's of Kalamar game odd fridays, and tonight the session has just ended. The players own a Cog called the Hyperion (merchant's vessel) and are currently docked in the harbor of Zoa, a large merchant city. They have just been freed from a public trial where they were found innocent...

My figures are the wages are 322sp/mo. Overhead (not including berthing) 87 sp/mo. Berthing (1sp per foot of berthing space) /wk Prize is 10% * Captian = 3% Offiers = 2% Crew = 5% * Prize is either value of shipping captured, or the profits of a given trade run. This might be wildly innacurate...

I have to design a crew for my players Cog, the Hyperion. They hired a Captian, a first and second mate, a cabin boy for the captain, and a ships cook who also handles inventory. The ship is a cog, and using Kalamar rules for the vessel its a Colossal Merchantman with a standard crew of 35...

Well, I'm not interested in taking it to that level, but I'm glad your PC's are having fun getting their tails kicked. ;) I'm looking to make this game a little more politically involved. They are playing a very heavily modified Coin of Power series (modules by Kenzerco) and I have them based...

Is this the Game of Thrones series? Or am I mixing things up here? I'm soooo looking forward to the Game of Thrones RPG.

Yeah, I think detailed notes are better. Gives you a record of the session and you can pick out the things that seemed to work well. Warning... if you do this electronically... backup copiously. I just lost a hard drive and 115 gigs worth of data. Most of it wasn't backed up. As a technician I...
