Mr. Goodman and I appreciate that. :) It will be available in December. I don't think we have an exact release date yet; although, I'm sure we'll announce it once we do. BD

Well, I generally like the format of the WotC MM, and I think it does exactly what a monster book should do. For instance, I like the prepackaged dragons and humanoids, and I definitely followed that design philosophy in my book. I also like the encounter groups, although I tried to keep my...

Heh, sorry. I didn't mean to be a tease. Let me talk to the bossman, and see what I can do. :) BD

Yup, and it's been a blast working on all these projects with Harley and the gang. Total 4E immersion. :D BD

It should be. The last I heard it was available as of September 2nd. If your local game store doesn't have it, you can order it from the Goodman site. BD

The sale is now live at Paizo. BD

Okay, I've temporarily reduced the price of the Master at Arms Ultra Bundle to 18.00. That saves you 2.00 over buying them all individually. BD

I'll look into to tweaking the bundles a bit, at least the big ones. By the way, check your email. ;) BD

Yes. I have more 3.5 products in the works. My focus has been on 4E for the last couple of months (it's why you haven't seen any new releases), but I plan to support 3.5 going forward. Unfortunately, publishers can't run their own sales at Paizo. We have to wait for Paizo to change all the...

Blackdirge Publishing $1.00 Sale!! We’re gearing up for 4th edition, so for the month of September, all Blackdirge Publishing 3.5 products are only $1.00. Unfamiliar with Blackdirge Publishing? Here’s a quick rundown of our product lines. Animal Archives: This product line features bestiaries...

I have the azodaemon stats; I thought they were published in the first book. No? Either way, I'm sure they can be posted to the wiki. BD

Don't worry, they're my stats. =] Yaghur Hod's stats can be found in my old Monster Column, but I didn't actually do any stats for Hazag, as I didn't want to define his abilities statistically and limit what he could do in the novel. BD

Good advice, Charke. There have been a lot of these posts lately, and the thing that strikes me most is, as you said, they really don't tell a publisher much. Dane, in this business it’s about showing, not telling. I can tell a publisher that I'm a good RPG designer, but it's just hot air...

This might sound funny, but a good way to get noticed is to post your designs on this messageboard. My story hours and monster design threads attracted the attention of a number of publishers, and I've been working steadily in the RPG industry ever since. Also, as Pinotage said, check out the...

Thanks DF; glad you liked it. :) Don't worry, I'm planning on supporting both systems, so there will be plenty more Blackdirge OGL material to come. I'll make an official anouncment regarding my future plans just as soon as I get some clarification on certain issues with GSL. BD

We’ve just released the first product in all new 3.5 OGL line: Blackdyrge’s Bits & Pieces: Weapons of Synergy. The Bits & Pieces line will bring you all sorts of innovative and interesting material for your 3.5 OGL game. Everything from feats and magic items to spells, monsters, and even new...

Hey guys, Do any of you know if Sep is doing any professional (paid) writing? It may be the reason for lack of updates. Authors of popular story hours sometimes get snapped up by enterprising publishers looking for talent, which then limits the time they have to write the story hour that got...

Nope, the skills are correct in the MM. Snakes get a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks. In adiditoin, they receive a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. They can also use either their Strength or Dexterity modifiers for Climb checks. So the skill array looks like this...

True that. Expect to work nights, weekends, and long, long hours if you want to make a living as a freelance RPG writer. Like Pinotage said, check out the Open Calls forum. A great publisher, Goodman Games, is currently looking for ideas and writers. That would be a very good place to start. BD

I've been known to wrangle a stat block or two in my day. ;) I'll take a look at a couple if you post them here. BD
