    Hieroglyphics convertor

    Exactly. I mean, it's fun to have all the symbols and such, but it's not really translating it into actual ancient Egyptian. A few years ago, my mom gave me this thing that she ordered that claimed to translate a name into Egyptian hieroglyphics (I used to be a huge Egypt geek ever since I saw...

    New D&D campaign setting by Ray Winninger?

    Dungeoncraft Articles Online This link should get you almost all of the Dungeoncraft Articles: http://web.archive.org/web/20020609200026/www.wizards.com/dragon/article.asp?x=dungeoncraft,3 For some reason, two of them are missing: Issue #261 and another one up in the 280s, I think. The...

    I'm Published! A Writer's POV

    First Review! I got a pretty good (non-playtest) review today over on the Mongoose forums for the book. It's in this thread, post #11. I've also got three other reviewers lined up, but with all of the products coming out, most of them have a backlog of reviews to get to.

    OGL Samurai, Ninja, Courtier and Ninja classes?

    I don't have my Rokugan book here with me at work, but I remember combing through the PI/OGC section at the front a few years ago. IIRC, all of the classes in Rokugan which previously appeared in OA (samurai and shukenja) are not OCG by virtue of the fact that they appeared as closed content in...

    I'm Published! A Writer's POV

    To keep everyone up-to-date: The PDF got as high as #29 during the month of June for all products on RPGNow (despite the fact that it was only on sale for 9 days of the month). Currently, it's at #18 for all products for July, and is the #10 d20 book for July so far. It's also the #1 d20...

    NPCs from the Quintessential Aristocrat

    I thought I'd post some characters I made using rules from the Mongoose Publications PDF, The Quintessential Aristocrat. Most of these will be actual characters I use for the game I DM, but slightly modified to take out the world-specific flavor so they can be more easily inserted into other...

    How many RPG forums websites do you regularly belong to?

    I post here (duh!), at RPG Net, RPGNow's forums, and at Green Ronin, Mongoose, and Malhavoc (and also at Monte & Sue's Writers & Editors forums). I mainly just post here, though, due to time.

    Wil Wheaton mentions Mongoose PDF in his blog

    Great idea - and Wil is open to it. Just working out the logistics with RPGNow (and I imagine Matt Sprange would need to approve it as well).

    Wil Wheaton mentions Mongoose PDF in his blog

    See, this is why I tried to be a helper and acquire some healing potions from the Church of the Green Man - for the greater good of the party. Instead, I got thrown in prison by lowsy night-elf hatin' guards.

    Wil Wheaton mentions Mongoose PDF in his blog

    I've been toying with posting my version of the campaign as a story hour (I'm a player in this one, not the DM). The DM makes us write our character's POV of each session as a diary-style entry. Those who actually write their diary entry receive an action point. We've only played two sessions...

    What other games besides D&D do you play?

    I forgot about "Buffy". My wife just recently bought the core rulebook and some supplements with the intent of starting a game. We'll see if that happens or not. It looks interesting and I'm a big fan of the show.

    What other games besides D&D do you play?

    I assume that you're only referring to RPGs with this question. In that case, currently I'm only playing and DM'ing in D&D/d20 games. One of the players in one of the games I'm in has expressed a very strong desire to check out GURPS 4th Edition so he might want to player and/or GM in that...

    Wil Wheaton mentions Mongoose PDF in his blog

    I hope I caught most of them before I sent my manuscript to Mongoose. I had two friends proof-read the whole thing (non-gamers, they just read it for grammar and spelling) and I also read the entire thing all the way through one last time before sending it in. And, of course Mongoose had an...

    Wil Wheaton mentions Mongoose PDF in his blog

    I thought it was pretty cool that Wil did that. He mentioned to me last fall that he would if/when Mongoose published my book. Further proof that Wil is a nice guy and a gamer just like the rest of us. I'm playing in a Dawnforge campaign with him right now - he's playing a Tiefling Soul...

    (Monday 6/28/04) History in your game

    Glad you thought the links were helpful. I spent a lot of time searching those out for different aspects of the book. FYI, the "last update" indicates the last time I noticed that the site had been updated. If there is another date after that, that's the date of the last time I actually...

    (Mongoose) Quintessential Aristocrat - PDF Out Now!

    It does include info on multi-classing with each of the 11 core classes from the Player's Handbook. There's a discussion on how or why an aristocrat and the class in question might multi-class, a bit on the benefits and detriments of doing so, and then an example of that particular multi-class...

    Prestige Class Progression

    I've seen PrCs with 3-levels, 5-levels, and 10-levels. Is there anything magical, rules-wise, about these numbers?

    Feats That Scale With Level?

    I'm trying to remember if WotC has published any feats in any of their books that scale with level (meaning, the usefulness of the feat grows as the character gains levels).

    How to Add An Image to a Product Page?

    I'm super-computer deficient but yesterday I added two products to the D20 Reviews product page. However, I don't know how to add the images for those products. Can someone help?
