I think you've come to the right place. This is where I came for help to DM my first campaign in over 12+ years. I'd suggest also skimming over www.roleplayingtips.com. It has great tips for GMs, and the game system is really irrelevant, so you'll find most of the information very helpful...

It's here. The one I remember is here. Seems like the boards have been REALLY slow lately. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, too much time. Per week: Reading (Dragon, new books, PDFs, etc.): Probably 5-6 hours ENWorld & Message Boards: Around 10 hours Playing: About 5-6 hours (every 2-3 weeks) Working on my campaign: About 5-6 hours Miscellaneous e-mails/IMs with fellow gamers: About 7-8 hours Darn. That's a...

Normally I'm not into stuff like this, but I'll probably pick it up just for the halibut.

Okay, I just have a few things to say. I think we're all getting to the point where everyone has (somewhat) clearly stated their position and obviously I believe we are all going to, as Setanta puts it, agree to disagree. Point #1) I have never disagreed that using/posting OGC is legal, fair...

I don't know why, but I really like that word. :) It's funny. And a great way to describe San Francisco. It probably needs an extra "r" in "cared", though.

Well, there are definitely a wide variety of opinions here. I do wish that some more publishers would ring in with their opinions on using OGC. From what I see, there are a bunch of ways that people can use Open Game Content. 1) Non-Publisher. Put OGC on your website or in a handout for...

After I finished my last project right at deadline and sent it to the publisher for editing, I went to bed to try to get 2 hours of sleep before getting up to be at my "day job" the next morning at 9am. Are most of you people posting on this thread full-time writers? If not, when do you find...

A potential selling point for whom? For a publisher who wishes to use those specific rules in a product that he is writing, yes. I fail to see how a book having OGC is a selling point for a non-publisher customer. It's irrelevant. Good material (or "cool toys", as worded above) is good...

Just so you know, there were a few typos in your list (misplaced commas or only one "!" instead of "!!"). I fixed it and have pasted it below. You should know, though, that Amazon only seems to accept 50 share-the-love names and this list is up to about 56 or so. Lastly, the address...

Oh, then, WHOOPS! I kept trying to correct it (comma out of place or whatever) and resend it. So, you're all going to be getting it at least 3 times. I'm very sorry. :( EDIT: Actually, I don't think any of them went through.

I keep trying to "send the love" on Dawnforge and Unearthed Arcana and I keep getting a message back that one of the e-mail addresses is invalid. Anyone else having this problem?

Some Suggestions First, for a list of things that people hate about their (F)LGS, you might want to check this thread recently posted at RPG.net. Just a few suggestions based on the game stores I've visited around Southern California, in no particular order: 1) Knowledgeable and non-pedantic...

I haven't picked up UA yet, but if the Taint rules in that are similar to the Taint rules for maho-tsukai from the Oriental Adventures book, then you're spot on. The Defiler rules in Dragon #315 use a similar mechanic - as mentioned, when you defile, you get a pool of "Defiler Points" that you...

According to this article, Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone had another magazine called "Owl & Weasel" but they scrapped it after 25 issues to start up "White Dwarf" in order to help promote their new store, Games Workshop. So, it seems that it's always been published by Games Workshop.

I totally agree. I tried to "call out" the author of the article and mention this in the comment section of his article, but he hasn't responded yet. Also, I typed it way too fast so it's full of typos.

I definitely spend less than when 3E first came out, but it's still a nice chunk of change. Basically, I found that I'd flip through a book at the game shop, like one or two ideas so I'd buy it, bring it home, and go through it only to discover that those were the only one or two ideas in the...

*sniff* So, no one else wants to comment? I hate to keep bumping this, but I figured this would be a great place to ask for advice on altering this PrC for my campaign. Firelance's comments are much appreciated, but I'd like another point of view as well. Anyone? Please? My wife will...

Thanks, Firelance. Does anyone else care to comment? I'd love some more advice.

Your Section 15 I really like a lot of these ideas you have and might tweak some of them for my own campaign. One of the things that's bothered a fellow DM and I is that there's really no reason for a sorcerer to progress all the way to 20th level when there are tons of "+1 spellcaster level"...
