Then I would say it's quite odd that Erik was posting in another Greyhawk thread about how the sales of the upcoming Greyhawk module will determine whether resources will be put into future Greyhawk products. :)

I didn't notice anyone mentioning it but you should think about the M&M Beginner's Guide. It's available in print for $7.95 and as a PDF download for $4.00. The 32 page full-color book will walk you through the basics of the system, you then play a solo adventure, and then get to interact with...

The problem is two-fold: The first problem is economics. For Greyhawk material to get produced on a regular basis it needs to sell enough copies to justify the expense and manpower being put into it rather then it being used in a Realms or Eberron product. To sell the needed volume Greyhawk...

As much as I love M&M (it's the best superhero game in the world! :D) I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that M&M 2e was also released around 4 years after 1e. I think 3-4 years is the industry standard for all companies. :lol:

When I was referring to the generation gap based on age I was really talking about how new gamers view game settings today based on how they did back in '81. High school and college kids getting into the gaming today have different expectations from a setting then I did back in '78. Greyhawk...

I believe his point is that Revised wasn't published "within the first few months of its release." It was published over 3 years later.

I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who didn't put Dr. Doom on a top 5 Marvel villains list and Red Skull is a mastermind villain in the mold of Moriarty or Fu Manchu.

As someone who spend a couple of years at the weekly chat and several years on the Greyhawk lists I think I heard from a great-many Greyhawkers. I didn't find my statement too sweeping. :) What change do you think they would have liked better: an updated timeline with every country exactly the...

The problem with Greyhawkers is that they do not want their timeline advanced. Most of them have been gaming in Greyhawk for over 20 years and they have advanced the timeline in their own way over the years. Then when you get new published material that changes something they have had in...

If you had been double checking your facts you would have realized I did not say M&M's sales were down. I said that losing 1,000 customers would be detrimental. And your information about HERO was false as well, so I don't see much fact checking going on. I believes he likes the idea of the...

First off, the project is not out yet so we can only speculate as to what such a project will mean to the superhero gaming community as a whole. As far as HERO doing well, I would suggest you head over to the Hero Games forum and check out some of Steve and Darren's posts about sales. I would...

It is in the Mastermind's Manual.

The point being that the superhero gaming is nothing but a small sub-genre of the overall gaming industry. You can take away 10,000 D&D players and they are not readily missed from the overall fantasy gaming market; it would be like taking a bucket of water out of your swimming pool. Take away...

Unlike fantasy gaming superhero gaming is a niche market. OSRIC does not hurt the d20 market because of the volume of gamers playing the genre. The superhero market is quite possibly not even 10% of the overall fantasy market and is currently divided between M&M, Champions, GURPS Supers...

I am quite literally amazed that Phil would even want to take on such a project. I would have thought a company with such close ties to Green Ronin, and whose M&M products accounted for 10 of his top 20 sales, would not want to create more competition for the company where his bread is buttered.

If you offered that as a POD over a lulu.com I would probably snatch it right up. :)

As near as I can tell it's because RPGNow's royalty fee went up to match Drivethru's and they now required you to sell your product on their site for the same price you sell it on every site you sell on.

APs are really very simple. The only thing you really need to know when creating one is the cost of the Base Power - Example: Blast 10 [20 points] - because no Alternate Power can cost more than the Base Power. Now I want my Descriptor to be Ice - I am making an Iceman clone. So I think about...

What you are not taking into account is the Trade-off rule from pages 24-25. You are not required to make the Base Power Dynamic. Whether or not you can make an Alternate Power Dynamic later is a GM's call. Technically you are required to lower it and then increase it later when the PL of the...

If I were was going to suggest your next two books from Green Ronin for M&M they would be Freedom City 2E and Ultimate Power, in that order. While UP gives you plenty of new optional power-sets FC shows you how to use the rules within the game. FC is also very enjoyable to read as it is full of...
