Corrected. I put in a missing apostrophe. Thank you. I know I've set an easy target for people to take pot shots at, you are welcome by the way :), but that doesn't make me wrong. Better language in the various rpgs should be a good thing. Correcting a PDF should not be more difficult than...

Of course. Doesn't mean I'm not right.

I may be just irritable today but I'm ticked at the stupid combined words the game seems to be filled with. eg Greataxe instead of Great Axe. It happens all over where two perfectly good words that work together by time honoured rules of english get pushed into one new word for no good reason I...

Hey Kerrick, Thanks so much for the Phoenix site. I enjoyed Shtar and this looks really good. You run a great site. Nice and clear. Its obvious you've put a lot into it. If, you'd like some maps PM me. I'll try and oblige. If you haven't checked out his site its worth a look. Sigurd.

I think its a funny title. Whats the point in being a fly to the Goliath if you can't occaisionally Buzz ? The title's on the edge (or over) but how many edges can a comparatively small publisher seize :) ? Besides, maybe an artsy type at WOTC will be able to wave it in the face of the suits...

Fair distinction.

Please, we're talking about NEWS. Large Press American Journalism is a contradiction in terms. They'd give it front page in a moment to avoid publicizing a real issue.

"Industry" "Leadership" What about Game Publishing? WOTC largely created a distinct gaming industry with licenses that tied other publishers to their system and gave WOTC influence over other businesses. The OGL and D20 licenses changed independent game publishers to co-dependent licensees...

You need to have a limiter for magic or a cost associated with it that is stronger than 3.5. The classic examples for this are to contemplate what a fabricate spell cast multiple times daily would do to labour. If you calculate the amount of stone or metal in any of the wall spells its hard to...

The Phoenix Lore Ezine is free and so far has been really good. They have two issues and a column called "Apprentice Workshop' written by John Ling. Ling has written a number of pieces for a number of gaming publications. If you're curious about the process I'd heartily recommend the magazine...

Great cover! Looks interesting. Any chance of 3.5 stats?

If the young blue inherited the lair from an older dragon there could be some pretty impressive defenses - even stories of parties that died on those defenses. I thinking burrowed tunnels undermining the floor to create hazards. Defenses left by mama that would normally be too high level for...

The problem I see with a systemless publication is that its not more useful to me the buyer than a publication for another system. So a person not using the OGL wants to buy a pdf. She can choose a systemless pdf or an OGL product (a system she doesn't use). Whats going to compel her to buy the...

Complete Book of Denizens is great! Three entries are going to be central to my game. Thanks I left a review. Sigurd

A lot of RPG players may only make a few things. They may be of varying quality but to the writers they will be important acts of giving. Making amateurs feel welcome and giving them clear guidelines should be a high priority for RPG companies. They're perhaps the best sort of encouragement you...

Thanks ever so much to everyone in this thread! There is a tremendous collection of free games out there but that brings my main question.... What games have an audience? I have a lots of brilliant games (commercial ones) but many of them have never been played for want of players. I have...

Fireball is a problem Shin - I'm going to face the realities of the game so a fireball or other magic is going to do terrible things to any formation fighting. Still for things like herding civilians and making the best of low CR foes I think formation fighting is a good idea. I had thought...

I have a hobgoblin army patterned on something like the roman legion. They have fighting formations as small as 7 soldiers. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for formation fighting rules and feats. This is the basic situation. The arrow points forward (Towards the Enemy). The...

You can have the wizard lich survivor but your players might well anticipate. How bout making her the madame of a brothel on the 2nd floor. Or the spirit of a much loved, and lusted after, painting? Or don't have any supernatural elements at all. Perhaps several generation of Jermelaine have...
