    One question, re ENWorld's new "Figurines" product...

    You know, the moment I read that, my first thought was "My god, I hope so..." Dammit, now I'm waiting for the answer as well.

    My personal celebration . . .

    Congratulations. (It's a big deal to those of us inspired by folks like yourself as well. I only hope one day my first product reaches those kinds of sales. Until then, I'll hopefully content myself with celebrating my first few products going copper in the near future).

    Mike Mearls is a Genius

    Probably true. On the other hand, I found the absence of a core story in eberron attracted players to the setting that otherwise aren't inclined to swing with the core story of most DnD campaigns. My Eberron group consists of folks that had long ago abandoned DnD for other systems (Feng Shui...

    Mike Mearls is a Genius

    Personally, I just equated Eberron to Indiana Jones. And in the next campaign, it'll be equated to the Three Musketeers. While I agree that Eberron lacks a fundamental core story, at the same time it loads up the first few chapters with everything you need to overlay your own core story on top...

    Vote: The Best 2nd ed AD&D Adventures!

    Another vote for A Heroes Tale. The only published 2e adventure that I find myself turning to on a regular basis for inspiration.

    Humbling defeats

    A dungeon adventure called Dovedale, in which the party barbarian was beaten to a bloody pulp by a goblin who was busy making a fishing lure when the attack started. The barbarian had a two-handed sword, the goblin was unarmed. After the barbarian was a concussed mess, the goblin was promptly...

    Your original die

    I have no idea how many of my original dice remain. I know the d20 is gone, because it shattered after three months of fairly heavy usage. I do still have one of my d10's from the Top Secret boxed set though.

    How smart is my dog?

    The DC to "push" an animal to perform a trick it hsn't yet been trained to do is only 25. I think the more pertinent question is how many druid levels you've got hiding up your sleeve.

    Changing firearms to martial weapons

    Think of it as one of those situations where Meta-gaming can work in the GM's favor. One or two rounds may seem rediculously fast when the in-game time is compared to real world reloading habits, but to the guy who has to sit out five to ten minutes of the combat because he's chosen a pistol...

    What is real BBQ?

    Cajun Spiced Kangaroo Steaks, lamb sausages and beer. The only mandatory part is the beer.

    What can I do to Improve my writing?

    And learning to edit your own work effectively. Learning to set work aside, and how to identify and correct the thematic problems rather than the grammatical problems, is an invaluable skill. It takes time to learn that though, just as it does to develop the other skills Mouseferatu is talking...

    I have developed wisdom: I recognize my shoddy workmanship.

    I find it's easier to go the other way. I know I'm hack, so I worry that every time I release something someone will actually assume that I have some kind of hidden genius they expect me to live up too :p

    (Cydra) Great Conflicts

    That, officially, rocked my world. Epic level goodness at its best. As a random aside: Jester, exactly how many homebrewed spells and items are your players carrying around at any given moment?

    Meddling Kids (Introductary RPG)

    I've run HiJinx a half-dozen times now, and I have to admit that every time I play it, it appears less and less like the d20 version it started as. Definately one of those games where the concept is great, but I was looking for a little more fluidity in the execution. Meddling kids sounds like...

    ENP brings a gun to the swordfight!

    The concept of the Prescient Duelist owes a little bit more to the Matrix than it does Equilibrium, largely because I hadn't yet seen the latter when I was writing the book (that's since been rectified). The real seed for inspiration is an old manga called Cybercity Oedo 2020 which I saw in the...

    Be Heard

    The World of Darkness System. If they can take a system that I have scorned for about a decade and succesfully re-write it so that I'm now eagerly anticipating the chance to run it, they're doing something right. And the production values on the book are downright beautiful.
