    Witness the beginning of a great adventure! Shadis: the Science Fiction and Fantasy magazine was started as a small press magazine in 1990 by Jolly R. Blackburn - the first step in what would eventually become the Knights of the Dinner Table magazine! Originally a photocopied publication, we've...

    Shadis #1 (PDF) now available!

    Well, all the same features you loved in the early Shadis still exist in the Knights of the Dinner Table magazine, so I hope you're reading that already! :) We'll be releasing more Shadis PDFs soon, by the way.

    Shadis #1 (PDF) now available!

    Oh, for those who aren't aware, most of the features and formats of the early Shadis evolved into the magazine section of Knights of the Dinner Table. So if we brought Shadis back, we'd just be competing with ourselves - and duplicating a lot of effort. :)

    Shadis #1 (PDF) now available!

    No, no plans for bringing it back. I'm not sure who actually holds the rights to Shadis after the first half-dozen issues or so - probably AEG. Only the earliest ones are ours (Jolly's).

    So when should a publisher ditch d20 and develop their own system?

    Can you be more specific? Which developments? I never thought the Ghostbusters RPG was very popular, or even played on a large scale, much less studied for its innovative efforts. Although, I was only working as low man on the totem pole at a game store in the early 1990s, and I never...

    Could this be the future format of 4th Edition D&D?

    I don't foresee there ever being a "Dungeons & Pirates", "Dungeons & etc etc" ad infinitum, simply because it dilutes the brand name. Sure, there could be a "Dungeons & Dragons: Pirate Edition", but not a brand that calls itself "D&P".

    So when should a publisher ditch d20 and develop their own system?

    It's not that other games have failed to eclipse D&D because of the the d20 rules system (or AD&D rules system). They've failed to eclipse D&D because it is D&D - the longest-running and best known rpg brand out there. Although, I doubt that any game designer truly believes his brand name will...

    D&D: Kingdoms of Kalamar - setting the hooks...

    I've just updated the description on the main Kingdoms of Kalamar web page, and I need some comments - especially from people who don't know the setting, or only know a little about it. So, does the page help define the setting? Does it spark interest? Are any of the hooks intriguing...

    Not Reading Ryan Dancy

    Those are my thoughts as well. I disagree on this one, though. My guess is that it will be called 4th edition. However, if there is a 3.75, I'm betting it'll be called PHB III and DMG III (and MM MCXXVII). :)
