    D&D 4E Support from mainstream booksellers - Ended by 4e?

    Ahh yes, the novels. Also correct, but the same deal applied. Rather than the return for product vs. return for $$ end result was the same and hit on many fronts. Case

    D&D 4E Support from mainstream booksellers - Ended by 4e?

    Correct. As I got the story, when TSR was mostly under the control of E.G.G. the deal he had with distributors/retailers was that if they returned a book, they took more books of equal value in exchange, rather than repayment on books not sold. Post E.G.G someone got sweet-talked into a...

    Complete Disagreement With Mike on Monsters (see post #205)

    On another note. I read that article Wyatt released with the "look into monster design". More than a few things stood out that I find distasteful. For a supposedly easy and streamlined system there are too freaking many actions (as noted on the part of monsters). Immediate Actions, Free...

    Complete Disagreement With Mike on Monsters (see post #205)

    I don't effin believe a word of that. It sounds good to bash a current system when your trying to sell $120 bucks worth of core rulebooks in a new system to a taciturn and jaded community of gamers. Saying that they had no such rules is quite insulting to the likes of Jonathan Tweet, Monte...

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Yup. I'm looking through all my pictures to find them and will call on a friend who took some during our campaigns to bring me a disk with the ones he took. I have a LOT of pictures tho so it's been taking a while to locate all of them. If I can't find the ones with the terrain I will take some...

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Remind me to post my playtest photos sometime. I really need to dig those out. I don't play D&D minis but the true sign of my geekdom when it comes to hobby games is my love of miniatures and terrain. Such things aren't necessary the way I run, but man they are FUN! My players eyes bugged out...

    Heavily Weighted: Kudos and Concerns

    I'll start by saying, I really hope that 4ed is everything to everyone! (but of course nothing can be). The design team has taken on a huge task of more or less shelling a popular system for one they feel is superior and that takes cajones to do. Whether its for the money or for the love of the...

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    I can see putting together a bundle of JPEGs of the maps. I warn you it will be a bit before I get to them tho. I just started teaching High School Graphic Arts class this week, literally the day after getting back from Gen Con. Once I have a handle on all the bookwork pertaining to the position...

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Wombat that either got missed or is folded in and hidden somewhere. Basically as the COB is sort of an "Oasis of Evil in a Hot as Hell Place" I tended to rule it as "magic works normal within the City itself, unless otherwise noted by area description or text." Case

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Joe-- You have time. 12th level party, 4-6 hour game sessions, 1 per week... skip about 6 random weeks worth of gaming due to family/travels/work/holidays and you should JUST about be finished by the time 4ed hits the shelf Mid May. Happy gaming. Case

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Finally Grabbed a print copy at Gen Con on Thursday Evening. 6 hours on a maintenance delay sorta shot my first day in the rear. I was working C&C and some of our older d20 releases for TLG but was right across from WW so I could bounce back and forth between the two. Savage Wombat has...

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Book 2, 1001 Efreeti Nights is 1 "wilderness/exploration" and 9 detailed "dungeons". The wilderness being a primer for characters of 12th+ level to get to the plane of molten skies. The 9 "dungeons" are locations in the city of brass. Its open ended enough in design that the 10 adventures when...

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    Kvantum Yeah dunno whats up with the <2> if thats what your talking about. I did an extensive search of that stuff on the proofs but evidently a couple got missed. Those are the "formatting tags" WW uses for their layout programs and they are a pain in the backside. Nobody else I write for...
