    [Book] Mob Rules

    Just wanted to mention that I happened to notice today that all of my excerpts from the book are available on the kindle website now. That wasn't the case as recently as a few months ago... Not sure if you had anything to do with the change or not, but either way, kudos! Incidentally, I picked...

    [March] What are you reading?

    Just read that last month, fantastic book. Some true mind-:):):):)ery going on there. Just finished up Empire in Black and Gold, the first of the Shadows of the Apt series. Enjoyed it a lot, some infrequent editing problems not withstanding. And in a shocking turn of events, unlike every other...

    Three Natural 20's in a Row

    Deleted because I'm a moron and apparently can't multiply.

    RPG Hot (and Cold) Spots - What are good (and not-so-good) gaming towns?

    You, sir, are incorrect. Myriad Games, in Salem, NH, is way, way, way, better stocked than Pandemonium. It's better than any of the game stores I'm aware of in the Boston / North Shore area. Should be pretty close to you in southern MA, too. It's right over the border.

    Is there a rule for falling speed?

    For the Tl;DR crowd, Based on Raven Crowking's physics lesson ;), I'd go with 1500 feet (300 squares) per round, but half that for the first round (750 feet/150 squares).

    An RPG with an API

    Well, the same thing can be said about everything... Look at D&D 4e, for example. Despite having fairly tightly-defined guidelines, Wizards itself would frequently publish monsters that were too powerful or too weak for their level. Granted, this was more a problem in earlier products. And...

    An RPG with an API

    I don't really have any criticism for that idea... I just like the idea of an explicit API, which many different publishers could produce for (not unlike the SRD). Doing it your way puts too much of a burden on the individual groups, since they'd pretty much have to come up with everything on...

    An RPG with an API

    One of the things I really liked about 3rd edition was the variety in the classes. Particularly towards the end of its lifecycle, things like The Book of Nine Swords and the Factotum stick out in my mind as being wildly different in playstyle from other things out there. The d20 SRD lead to a...

    February: What are you reading?

    Just finished up John Dies at the End, which I can't recommend highly enough. It's disturbing and funny and dark and thought provoking... A modern tale with heavy Lovecraftian influences, but its own distinct flavor. Reading samples on my Kindle to figure out my next book... looking like it'll...

    The name "Xi"

    I think for dinner tonight, I'll have some sword ghoti with a side of ghoughpteighbteaus au gratin

    The name "Xi"

    I've heard on your side of the pond, the equivalent term is, "as the actress said to the bishop." It's just something you interject after anything with a potentially-sexual double entendre. e.g. "It's too small!" "That's what she said!"

    User IDs switched around?

    NOOOOO! Without the distinction of having the first message, I am nothing... Nothing!

    User IDs switched around?

    I didn't actually delete anything, so that's another bug... Obviously the ones that aren't posted by me should be deleted. And the original message isn't really relevant any more, so I don't care what happens to it. I'm pretty free about giving out my email address, so I'm not worried about that.

    User IDs switched around?

    Having traveled through every possible reality, I can assure you that such a thing does not and can not exist.

    User IDs switched around?

    Wait, so your hiccup involved the same message by me? Now that's just weird. Clearly, I am the nexus of all parallel ENWorlds. ;)

    User IDs switched around?

    I received this email today: I was... very confused. Not least because there was no context and I was only vaguely aware of any of the names involved. Did a quick google search to confirm that this was probably something on ENWorld. I looked up Hussar's wall, and found this message: That is...

    January: What are you reading for your penultimate year?

    Just started John Dies at the End by David Wong. Not my usual genre, quite entertaining. Dark, but with a good sense of humor.

    Name a cool way to permanently kill a rakshasa

    The rakshasa has to behead itself (although not necessarily intentionally).

    Adapting rules to a hex grid.

    My suggestion for flanking: The attacker chooses one hex he occupies, and one hex an ally occupies. Both hexes must be adjacent to the defender. If every possible line drawn between the two chosen hexes passes through a hex occupied by the defender, then the attacker is flanking with the...

    no rp exp

    RP doesn't happen spontaneously. Well, sometimes it does. But, especially when your group's not used to it, you need to make it happen. Set up a situation that can't (or, at least, really, really shouldn't) be solved through combat. For example, the PCs need to get information from an NPC, or...
