    What Would Your Campaign/Setting's Inspirational Reading List Be?

    Well, for new players I'd recommend some of the 'TSR' books (the various Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance novels etc.) to get a feel for DnD Liavek series (various authors) Malazan, Books of the Fallen series (Steven Erikson) (My all time favourite series, absolutely damn brilliant stuff) Wheel...

    Rent-A-DM

    Well, you could prolly substitute a music example here. If a music teacher bought the music of a song that still has copy right to be played on the radio and used it to teach someone to play the piano, there is no problem. The buying of the official music book takes care of paying for the...

    How easy is it to SELL magic items in your game?

    Well, it depends upon where the PC's are and what item they're selling. In large cities, most 'common' magic items gor for 50%-70% of list price (depends a bit on my mood, the effort the players put in trying to sell the stuff, the type of city they are in (is it one well known to them or not)...

    Rent-A-DM

    Well.... I would love to get paid to DM, however, the economics would be a little different then sketched by Delericho I am afraid. To truly prep well (this would include making props, maps printed on 'parchment' and all that) and make sure you are up to date on all relevant rules, have good...

    Do scenarios need a BBEG?

    The climax of defeat usually is a campaign buster. Not necessarily a bad thing, but in my experience, this usually results in all players rolling up new PC's for a completely new world/campaign. 'and now, for something completely different...' A very few times, what we did was to allow the...

    Why is there treasure?

    Well.... often most of the treasure is loot from previous adventurers with less luck trying to defeat the monsters.... with intelligent monsters, loot is often their own treasure they use to pay underlings, bribe government officials or just plain greed!

    Do reviews matter?

    For me they matter alot. Where I live I do not really have the option of thumbing through the goods before I buy them. I buy everything on-line, so the reviews are all that I have to go on. They can make or break purchase decisions for me...

    Is gaming without map and minis really bad?

    Meh... been playing the game for 21 years now, and never used a miniature. I DO draw out combat situations, sketch out rooms etc. Pen n Paper... my trusted friends... As for battles of 100+ I narrate more, and only fight out the close combats around the PC's.

    Starter PHB - Easy and cheap entry?

    Interesting idea. Personally, I would believe it would be even better to release such a booklet as a softcover edition, similar to a module, at very low price, add to that the softcover PHB, put it in a box with maybe an additional starter module, some miniatures and presto.... instant basic...

    A New Kind of Campaign (Feedback Wanted)

    Uhm.... seems to me you are talking about three seperate issues here. One is the issue of the 'expanded slots', which sounds as a sort of action points/campaign points, which can be used fairly flexibly. This sounds kinda cool, I am not clear however what happens to someone who decides to use...

    D&D and the Implied Setting

    Interesting analysis. I think you are quite right. If you know the rules well, then obviously, one can meddle around and play any style of campaign in any world under any system. It definately helps if your preferred world lies close to the 'assumed' world. I happen to be in the happy club who...
