Thanks for this - I yoinked it and sent it to my group after modifying a few of the questions. We've tried similar stuff before in the "Suggestions" sub-forum on our campaign message boards but not everyone participates. I asked the group to respond via e-mail. So far, only one has, and...

I used to have them organized by topic, such as Class Books, Spells & Magic Books, Monster Books, Campaign Settings, etc. Then I found that didn't work: * Does Bastion's Spells & Magic go in the "Spells & Magic" section, or in the Class Books since it has a lot of PrCs for spellcasters? *...

I'm curious about this part of the press release. Of course I don't know anything about the actual sales numbers, but my perception was that the Scarred Lands was one of the more well known brands in universe of d20 products, and given that it was being published by a well known RPG publisher...

Interesting to get the perspective of someone who doesn't live here about the changes. The Haunted Mansion is only changed during the Halloween-Christmas season. From January through late September or early October, it's the regular old Haunted Mansion that you remember. They started doing...

Sorry for the long wait. I've been out-of-town without access to my computer. I will check tonight and see but after reading what you're talking about I think that I might not exactly know what you're talking about. Not to be lame, but have you tried asking over on the Wizards boards if...

There are also sections on weapons, armor, and clothing (along with a few "cultural" notes) on various eras in India history in Monkey God Enterprises' Stone & Steel book. I believe it was recently updated to v3.5 although I only have the 3.0 one. I found it helpful for adding some elements...

Well, thanks. Unfortunately, I had already left and didn't see this until I got back. I did find Oxford Comics accidentally while looking for a (now defunct) bookstore I'd read about called Oxford Games. As it turns out, we were on a pretty tight scheduled with all of the "wedding...

Here's my question, and it might be more appropriate in the publisher forum, but I'll go for it here anyway: I've been working on a book that I plan to self-publish for the past year or so. It's about a very particular topic, but one that hasn't been covered extensively in the d20 system...

I think this is the main reason, from what I've observed. I was working on one book once and it would have made sense to use OGC from the very same publisher, but they chose not to. That's interesting... I hadn't thought of that. However, I agree with Crothian that the average gamer who is...

So, there's nothin' to do in Atlanta?

I kind of agree with you in that the average consumer doesn't look at that kind of stuff. So, with the breadth of material out there, why not focus efforts on creating new stuff, and if you need to include content that's been done by another publisher (for the sake of completeness for the work...

As I glance through various d20 books, I've noticed that many publishers tend not to use OGC from other companies, even when covering the same topics. Now, some of this I guess I can attribute to the thinking of, "I can do it better!". But, I wonder how much of this is due to potential...

I'm one of the people who took them out of his campaign setting. I also removed halflings. I don't like the idea of the "small races". I could just never get behind it. I like Tolkien and all that, but the idea of "small" races were killed for me by two things: "Return of the Jedi" and...

So I'm heading to Atlanta on a red-eye tonight for a wedding of one of my wife's friends. I can't say I'm really looking forward to it 'cause I don't really like flying much. I guess it will be a good chance to catch up on some reading (I bought the graphic novel 1602 by Neil Gaiman, and I...

Curious about the Priest class being Closed Content. How exactly do they do this? I would think that the entire thing is "derived" from OCG stuff so at least the BAB, class skills, saves, etc. would be Open.

This isn't going to help much, but I think it depends on your game. I think there's a way to include this kind of stuff in a D&D-type game as long as the Craft times and construction costs do not put it in the hands of the PCs (or NPCs) until they are at the appropriate levels. Submarine...

I seem to remember reading once an interview with the team who was working on the Justice League comic a couple of years ago, and either the writer or the artist said something about how Batman was technically the only character in the league who was smart enough to actually defeat Superman, and...

Yeah, but that was more about advice on running a solo-player campaign since I've never done that before. For this thread, I was specifically looking for advice on tweaking the mechanics of the class he wants. I guess I could've put them in the same thread, but I thought I stood a better...

I know what link you're talking about, but I don't have it bookmarked here at my new job yet. I think I might have it on my computer at home. I'll check when I get there. In general, I think that if you just google something like "fantasy campaign worlds", eventually you'll find a page with a...

I know which one you're talking about. That's pretty cool, but I've often thought that something like this could be dealt with without a "mechanic" but more as just a roleplaying thing. Of course, I say that, and yet I did something somewhat similar in the book I wrote. Agreed. Just...
