Well, good and... Ehr... sorry? At any rate, allow me to make a suggestion: Splitting the party from time to time. Not too often, mind you, but something you may consider is after 2-3 adventures, having the combat-centric player take a side-trek (such as a personal mission of honor, holy...

Actually, each of those indicate that you have no problem with an editor/developer changing your material, which was loud and clear considering the number of times you posted it :p . None of them, however, directly answered the question asked, being how you felt about your name being associated...

"Great kid... Don't get cocky." ~Han Solo to Luke during the escape from the Death Star Seriously, though, congratulations. Now the important question: Everyone have fun?

Totally love W&V. The only thing about poison would be with envenomed weapons and the like, in which case they only become less effective in practice (requires a Wound to work) which may or may not be important (it's not to me, but is to you). About the most effective means I have for...

Doesn't she also techie the web site? I remember contacting her for a banner once. Then again, I think I recall her name on a few PS products... That's a busy girl...

Indeed! However, that would also mean that you would be using the Kara-Tur variants included in OA (referred to as the "historical orient" or some such, can't remember) rather than the "default setting" of OA, which would be Rokugan (and doesn't permit such "visits" as-written).

Actually, caravans rarely work that way; they follow a course that will take them from one water source to the next, possibly trading with non-hostile nomads and villaiges along the way. "Deep crossings" are rare and usually only occur when something extremely valuable or important needs to get...

Bah, you're looking at it backwards: A class should represent an archtype that's justifiably part of the setting and common enough not to be "prestigious". If Paladin's don't fit, they're not "gone" because they were never there. If Druids don't fit, same deal. Neither of which are found in...

Hmmm... Alrighty, I guess I got three lines to watch for (Author, Developer, Editor) rather than one. It's good to see that a Dev can get the "bump up" when deserved, though. Kewl... I'll definately do my dang-doodle bestest to get there.

As a random encounter, I've always liked Dust Diggers (Tome of Horrors or Creature Catalogue). Possible side trek: PCs find a young child being chased by some kind of pack critter (cyote, jackles, what ever fits the setting). Kill/chase off the critters, return child to nomad villaige (or...

For anyone interested in a recent and fairly well-done (although unfortunately short) modern noir-style tale, check out Detective Story from The Animatrix.

True, but it should strive to be what it represents.

No, it doesn't sound like hyperbole. It actually makes a whole lot of sense. To which, however, if the material requires that much work, I must ask: Why aren't these products receiving dual-authorship? I mean, if someone were working for me and I know that he corrected 70% of a manuscript and...

Alright, you didn't miss my point, but this is the first reply that actually reads like you're addressing it. At the very least, it does come down to the post I made in the "Culture" thread: It's now time for me to pay as much attention to editors as I do to authors, especially since I've...

Only if you want Mrs. C to come in, stick soap in every-other-poster's mouth, and redo the site in pastel blue with pink and yellow flowers.

You seem to keep missing the point: It's not a question of the author selling the rights to the material, which is understood by everyone here it would seem, but of the author being indicated as having written those changes. In the case of the movie you indicate, the script for the movie was, it...

Ah! But in a movie, you'll see the lines (or lines similar to)... Based on the novel by David Brin Screenplay written by [some useless hack with a typewriter] What I'm expressing is a situation where David Brin would have gotten sole-credit for writting both the book and the screenplay...

Oh, thank you very much... I can now go off to lunch wearing my happy face.:)

Hiliarious, yes. But possibly short-sighted. Consider for a moment that you wrote something, submitted it, and the deal's done. In your post and James', that's the end of it. However, now the editors/developers take it and change it. They've got the right, no one's argueing that...

Again, though, this is half the problem: some players don't think a "themed" campaign world should "restrict" what the Core Rules give the false impression of entitlement to unless it's in print (print=playtested and valid, houseruled=arbitrary and broken). Yes, I agree with your earlier...
