Was the daemon a late addition? It wasn't in the files I received. Not that your stats needed any editing. When it came to game material stuff, I felt pretty unnecessary! Oh, and on the price thing: Print on Demand, like Lulu, is not cheap-- as opposed to the aforementioned mass-market...

Yup, and I sent an email to Morrus regarding it, which is what I am checking on.

I can't listen to this podcast right now, but while it is true that Delta Green in hardcover was gonna sell out no matter what, I do wonder if the "d20 does not help sales" bit is influenced by Chaosium's "market data" on d20/CoC products. This would be bad, as Chaosium intentionally dropped the...

Always happy to recommend my own work! :D Seriously, tell me what you think. One does ones best when balancing new character abilities, but it is not always an exact science. Also, I am anxious to hear about how some of the more esoteric talents might be seeing use in play. This goes for...

I have as well, one with a big question in it. I am just trying to figure out if it is your email or mine... Yahoo mail apparently does this, and has done it to me in the past, but I thought I had licked it by parsing through my spambox regularly. If my email is problematic, I will send you an...

And what is it his Destiny to corrupt? My childhood... As Simon Pegg once said, Jar-Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like f-ing Shaft.

I would too. I like Skill Groups a lot. They do not replace they existing system, they just add an easier option for players. Why would you despise that?

I agree with everyone about nonlethal damage. I know why they did it, but I also think they did it wrong. I'm intrigued to see people saying how much they love the base classes, because as I mentioned above I love the structure but hate the actual classes. To me, they are a lot weaker than D&D...

To my mind, prestige classes would not go away completely, but they would stop fulfilling generic functions and become more directly tied to settings. Duelists do not establish the setting, whereas Red Wizards do-- the concept of elite groups only select people can join is a good one...

I agree with the poster above, I love the class structure of Modern. Talent trees are great, regular bonus feats are great, easy multi-classings is great. That said, the base classes themselves, not so much. The Fast Hero is better than everybody except for maybe the Strong Hero, the...

Yeah, his is better. Of course, guys who wrote the rulebook tend to do that.

If I understand correctly, the major goal is not to get non-gamers hooked. The point is to get people to go down to a brick-and-mortar store, in the hopes that they will come back. The benefit to game companies themselves is secondary, this is to help the specialty stores, which have to...

Yeah, I had a feeling my yahoomail was screwing up. I have not gotten any of your emails since Monday of last week. Oddly, my email is also no longer getting notifications when people post in EN World threads I've subscribed (but the "male enhancement" spam is coming through fine, of course)...

Sure, there would be a certain degree of balancing required-- just as with any other piece of game design. After all, some abilities should be delayed as opposed to others, as in the existing system where some feats are gateways to others. But certainly, it is logical that having a greater...

You have no idea how happy I am to see you say that! An author referred to an edit I did early in my career as a "hatchet job" once, and now I'm always paranoid that authors will hate me-- heck, I was half-worried that Morrus hadn't emailed back because he was unhappy with the job I'd done...

I guess I'm lucky-- I have three participating stores within 8 miles of my apartment, and one within a mile and a half. Life in the Bay Area is good. For those outside the U.S., there's seems to be Free RPG Day of some kind in the UK on the 21st. I have to think getting people to visit their...

Hey Morrus, just want to make sure you got my last two emails. One was my singing the praises of Death of a Demon Lord, another was just a question. If you've been busy and can't respond, no big, I just want to make sure my email client is not messing up again. And I just want to state publicly...

I don't believe I have ever seen any of these races played in all the years i played WEG and d20 Star Wars. Nevertheless: So now you can run your game.

Exactly. It all leads to people getting the character they want more specifically. Talent trees are just a natural extension of things already present in D&D. As it is now, a rogue gets what is essentially a talent tree from 10th level, choosing between special abilities. A ranger chooses from...

Fair enough. Just responding to the "sight unseen." There is no way I buy a novel just because I like the author's alternate Player's Handbook. A lot of game writers do write good fiction. Greg Stolze is a good example, as are a lot of the Delta Green/Unknown Armies guys who also contributed to...
