When I first started going to GenCon, I got to play games wall to wall for four days and it was awesome. These days I spend most of my time working the Green Ronin booth or in meetings. I always try to get in at least one game though, because it wouldn't be GenCon without it. Oftentimes, it's a...

We considered it, but combining those two books would give us a really big core book that we'd have to price at at least $50 and we weren't too keen on making the entry point for the game that much money.

The Psychic's Handbook, our sourcebook of psychic power for 3rd Era games, is now available in PDF from our Green Ronin Online Store, RPGNow, and DriveThruRPG, and is back in print via our Lulu store. The Psychic's Handbook (Perfect-Bound) by Steve Kenson (Book) in Games The Psychic's...

I didn't know there were 14 other me's out there! I'd settle for one clone to help with writing.

It's available now. Green Ronin Podcast: Episode 9, Game Publishing Goes Digital (Green Ronin Publishing)

A new episode of the Green Ronin Podcast is available now. Episode 9 was recorded live at Norwescon on April 12, 2009. Green Ronin president Chris Pramas moderated a panel called Game Publishing Goes Digital. Panelists included Jeff Combos from Exile Game Studio, Erik Mona from Paizo, Donna...

Some trivia for you. Vortex of Madness' original title was Planar Sites and it was meant to be part of the same series as Castle Sites and City Sites. When I wrote it originally, the sites were not linked. After I turned over the manuscript, the brand people (for whatever reason) decided it...

This past weekend there was a seminar at Norwescon called "Game Publishing Goes Digital." I ended up moderating the panel, which included Jeff Combos from Exile Game Studio, Erik Mona from Paizo, Donna Prior from Flying Lab, and David Stansel-Garner from Catalyst Game Labs. I asked the Norwescon...

It's been more than a decade since SJG transformed Pyramid from a print magazine to a subscription based online magazine.

I suspect it's this: Underpants + ??? = Profit But oh no, they took underpants gnomes out of 4th edition!

I had a lot of good laughs this week. WotC's PR department fumbles more than a virgin trying to unhook his first bra.

WotC is always changing and seems to have a major shift every couple of years. It is surely a long way from the days when most of the Seattle Camarilla worked there and there was a "bi-curious" day. While things certainly did change after the Hasbro buyout, the atmosphere had already become way...

I can't think of a good reason to follow their lead on that decision. If it's a precursor to WotC selling their own PDFs, all the companies you name have been doing that already for years so really WotC would be following our lead. If ceasing to sell PDFs is actually the entirety of their plan...

The ratio of players to purchasers has always been a problem for the RPG business. Six or more people can play a game for year easily with one book between them. Turning players into buyers is an ongoing struggle for any RPG company.

We are starting to provide our previously out of print 3rd Era books on Lulu.com, a print-on-demand service. You can now once again get The Book of Fiends, Advanced Bestiary, Aasimar and Tiefling, and the 3rd Era Freeport Companion in real book form for your real bookshelf. We'll be adding more...

I didn't work for TSR so take this with a grain of salt. As I understand it though, some work on 3E was done at TSR before the buyout. I don't think it went very far and I don't think much of it ended up in 3E. As for Alternity, I'd call it a minor influence at best. Rich Baker may have been a...

The whole rulebook is full color. This first book is mostly rules, though it does have an overview of Westeros. This summer we're publishing the Campaign Guide, which is a 256 full on setting book (also full color).

We've talked it about since the days of first edition M&M, but a good OP program takes staff and infrastructure that we just don't have right now.

You and your group just need to start using our 4E Character Record Folio. :) We used the OGL for that one.

The game is out next week. You got it as an ENnies submission. It should have arrived with some other GR books.
