There are resources and discussion groups for fiction writers to visit that discuss which magazines, agents and publishing houses are good markets, which take forever to respond to a submission and which ones don't live up to their obligations or are actively running scams. It'd be handy if...

In the QA thread - we take a look at the Mexican Invasion

Q - so what is the US doing the great war? A - Well - we seized on the Zimmerman Telegram to create an interesting alternate take on history. Here's an excerpt from that section - SECTION IV – THE MEXICAN INVASION (aka The Second Mexican-American War) 1917-1919 The US attempted to remain...

You are correct. My mistake. I've house-ruled in the True20 thing and forgot it wasn't RAW for MM.

Just wondering - -are you going to have a vehicle rules section for Supers20 - or will that be for a later release? Also - side thought - as someone pointed out, in MM as you (or your vehicle) take damage, you become less effective (penalities against rolls and such). This seems (to me anyway)...

Sorry - I should have been more clear. That's what I get for posting after 3 rum+cokes. Yes - I was referring to ValhallaGH's previous remarks about how vehicles are handled similar to characters in MM. It works pretty well IMHO and I'm fan of handling vehicles that way. My MM game has a lot of...

Agreed. It's very similar to how I understand MM vehicle rules - and its worked pretty well in my regular MM game - with that same pitfall.

some more information on the alternate history timeline of WWI

Q: What about this invasion from Faerie you've alluded to? A: Here's an excerpt about that December 1917 - In a last-ditch attempt to stave off defeat, the Kaiser’s army embarked on a desperate gambit. Through a complicated negotiation process at the Bavarian portal, they arranged a deal for...

Q: You said it was alternate history - about WW1 right. So what's different? A OK - here's an excerpt going into some of the details of the war circa 1915 May 1915 - After months of stalemate and trench warfare, German forces surge towards Paris, routing Allied troops. Two German innovations...

released today. Press release is here

Hopefully it's the exception and not the rule - but I recently had a comically bad experience with a lulu softcover. I sent a review copy out - and it arrived with the right cover - but the inside of the book was a self-published history book about cavalry sabers used during the American Civil...

We give some of the setting backstory here

Q: So it's an alternate history setting - so how does the introduction of magic change the course of history? A: Well - here's an excerpt that will give you an idea... Pandora's Box Opens There is continued debate among magic scholars and historians about exactly why some cultures adapted...

We give some previews of the magic system for Soldiers and Spellfighters20 here

Q.That's still a little vague. How are these spellbindings different from any other spell list? How about an example? OK - the basic concept of a spellbinding is a thematic spell list. A spell list that's got roots into the setting - rather than a magic system that feels artificial and...

Since Urizen mentioned the magic system - we'll spotlight that Q: So what's up with the Soldiers and Spellfighter's magic system? Wizards and Wiseguys20 introduces the Spellbinding perk for the Magic skill. The spellbinding perk enables the character to cast spells but it differs in some...

Urizen -goofer dust and mojo bags are pretty cool ideas. Wish they'd occured to me. We've got a sequel in the words (Wizards and Wiseguys20 - which focuses on Prohibition era). I think they'll make it in there.. Thanks for the compliments -
