Yeah, I went overbaord with information on that one. I did it on purpose, for two reasons. First, I was so floored by the question (more than one person sent it in) that I figured I'd better to give as much information as possible, becuase I couldn't imagine what those people felt were crucial...

Well for obvious reasons, I hope you're right! Owen K.C. Stephens lightsaber fanatic

IF there is a 4e soon, and IF it isn't OGL, and IF you're not going to switch, AND if you need an influx of professional, balanced game content to keep enjoying your existing 3/3.5 games, you still need not fear. I'll happily write and sell them to you. Owen K.C. Stephens d20 Triggerman

You know, I once heard someone say you knew a music act had hit the big time when Weird Al made a parody of one of their songs. By that standard, I think Rodney just hit the big time.

Even if the group of bad guys is barbaric, there's a good chance at least a few of them aren't members of the barbarian class. I heartily recommend at least one adept (to represent the shaman/skald/witch man) and at least one rogue (at least some people steal things in most cultures). You'd...

I often find it useful to roll multiple attacks at once. I use different sized d20s, so the biggest die goes with the largest attack bonus, and so on. Sometimes I roll damage at the same time as well, using damage dice color-coded to the d20s. Thus if I fighter has three attacks with a bastard...

Ditto. Don't be too dedicated to buying everything direct from GR, though, if (and it's a big if) you have a good, well-run, friendly local game store near you. If you can order through them, even if you have to special order, and do so regualrly, you may convince them to stock GR items they...

Okay, Chris. Now you're just getting people scared.

This sort of effort is exactly the kind of thing that has keep my goodwill toward Green Ronin high regardless of how rocky things have gotten. That, and the classy behind-the-scenes efforts they have made as well. Thanks, Chris.

I'm not a big fan of alternate planes you can travel to. I dislike the common tongue, despite its strong utility. And... I don't like vancian magic. Even the sorcerer just doesn't do it for me. I can have fun playing arcane spellcasters, but they are the element most strongly unlike the...

Thanks, and I hope we can talk about it soon too. I suspect the Bullet Points' slowness has more to do with the general overwork of the tireless web team than my big projects -- I'm normally several articles ahead of them (because all -I- have to do is write them, not edit, lay out, code, find...

You mean names of other authors? The first draft was written entirely by Rodney and myself, though obviously other people are going to get involved in the diting and development stages. Owen K.C. Stephens d20 Triggerman

Hey Folks. Looks like Rodney and I have both found this thread now, and hopefully getting the word out here will help it get out in general. (I received over 120 personal emails since Amazon made their posting of it.... apparently a lot more people have my email than I thought!) There's not...

Thanks, Hyp! Those are exactly the responses I would have made, though perhaps less well stated, if you hadn't beaten me to it.

My bet is there would then be a vocal group complaining about how much it cost. Besides, as it is people were saying 50% of the book was statted creatures, and it's less than 15%, why should I believe they'd have reacted differently if it had been 11%, or 10%? Of course people would like it...

Well, by 13th level 1,000 gp for a 1st level pearl -is- cheap. And honestly, with a good enough Wisdom, even just 2 spells of levels 1-3 means I can get off 6 spells a combat if we only take one per day. I rarely manage more that anyway, because I'm busy killing things. But the fact that I can...

I happen to be playing a paladin in a game that just reached 13th level, and I'm finding some decisions I made early on are having surprising consequences now. So far, these have all been good, but we are, as a group, startled at how effective some decisions are. For example: Practiced...

OMG, Eric. I can not BELIEVE you remember that. Yeah, on the steps after boot camp and the slide show. I was so impressed to meet THE Eric Noah. You were the talk of the WotC halls at the time (where I worked full time in 2000).

Thank Goodness, my wife is a gamer. She gamed before we met, gamed while we dated, and still games now. In fact, we gamed with friends yesterday. Like me, she's into rpgs, card games, board games, and video games. If she didn't game, I'm not sure what we'd talk about on the drive to Gen Con...

It's okay, I'm not easily offended. Sigh. I gues Mearls is right, after about 10 books you're not going to get more famous. Allow me to introduce... me. I wrote Starships of the Galaxy (and a bunch of Star Wars), Befallen (and a bunch of EverQuest), Bastards and Bloodlines and the Advanced...
