Multiclassing? Amusingly enough, my degree is in Astrophysics. I never took so much as a single English course at the college level. Of course, I am an absolutely voracious reader, so that helps my vocabulary substantially. On topic: The "poison pill" clause doesn't sound as bad as first...

Did the OGL benefit by having the D&D ruleset published under its name? Absolutely. Is the OGL perfect? No. Heavens, no. Almost from the beginning, the "Attribution" portion of its viral nature has been a beast (with ever-expanding Section 15's) and I for one am *still* appalled at the...

I'll play - just make sure to PM me when you create a game - but I really don't have time to be commissioner this season. Last season was a disaster (injuries everywhere); I can't go out like that. Must... retain... dignity!

True enough... especially since the Scout Oath can be boiled down to: Duty to Higher Causes (God, Country, Scout Law) Duty to Others (Help Other People) Duty to Self (Physically Strong, Mentally Awake, Morally Straight)

I personally tend to work off a modified version of Asimov's Laws of Robotics. To wit, 1. A paladin may not knowingly harm an innocent, or through inaction, knowingly allow an innocent to come to harm. (Preservation of innocent life - "Goodness" - is first and foremost, and "knowingly" is...

As far as I'm concerned, 90% of the problems that crop up with paladins aren't "paladin" problems at all. They're "alignment" problems masquerading as paladin problems. Specifically, a LOT of people seem to really chafe at the very idea of Lawful Good - either the paladin player doesn't really...

Yeah, I saw your bump, Mistwell. Let this serve as official notice of the opening of the 0607 ENWorld Fantasy Basketball league. We'll be using Yahoo, and same settings as last season. Okay, all that's interested... fill 'er up! http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com League ID: 36755...

My top 10, in the order they came into my mind: * The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring * The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers * The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King * Alexander Nevsky (shows why armor is not always good, pike lines, importance of various styles of...

I had to say it aloud to myself a few times to figure out how I say it... and danged if I have a weird way of doing so. The "dw" at the beginning I pronounce softly - kind of like the "dw" leading "dwarf" but with a little bit of a "j" sound mixed in. Kind of a "dzhw" sound (or if you know...

1. Dave Arneson - I've loved Blackmoor since the DA1-4 days. Can't get enough... and he's old school. :) 2. Chris Pramas - Because he seems to have many of the same tastes in "flavor" that I do (based on what GR publishes) and he's got great insights and stories (having met him at GAMA a...

The "Acid Door" trap has always been one of my favorites. A glass door, painted to look like wood, which contains a super-strong acid. Kick in the door and get a shower of glass and acid all over your leg. But then, I've always had a soft spot for Grimtooth's stuff. :)

The man is my very first character ever... Gardol Silverforge. He was a male fighter who had a particular love in his heart for the dwarven culture. I played him in Boxed Set D&D campaigns for years, and eventually he became an Immortal, eventually rising to the rank of Hierarch (sphere of...

Going back to the original poster's question... I should also note I just spent one minute on RPGNow.com going through their d20 Fantasy menu to get to the adventures sections. http://www.rpgnow.com/default.php?cPath=1_260_269& == 110+ low level adventures...

Fair enough. The product name is "Trouble in the River City" - you can get it for $4 from either: The ENWorld GameStore: http://shop.enworld.org/index.php?productsid=1483 or RPGNow.com: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=4365 I didn't want to "pimp my product" with a link...

One anecdote does not a trend make, but it does one data point make. 16 months ago, I released an adventure in PDF. It was world-neutral. It had tons of interesting NPCs. Re-used bits of OGC from a dozen different sources, and had no small amount of new stuff in it, too. To date, it has...

No, it's... "Hello, cheese? NO! Cheese can't answer the phone."

What Wulf doesn't tell you is that he's writing with his James Earl Jones/Darth Vader voice... meaning you aren't allowed to read his books aloud in a manner similar to the way Darth Vader might them aloud. ;) --The Sigil (Joking, joking. Just trying to throw a little levity into the...

You're falling into the trap that OGC must equal copyrighted material. It doesn't have to. OGC in any given document consists of "must be" and "can be." "Must be" includes: a.) any game mechanics that do not "embody the Product Identity" (whatever that means, not having ever found a suitable...

Saw the thread, declined to comment on it until you invited me to do so. IANAL, TINLA, but based on my understanding of copyright law, here is the gist (copied from that thread). The OGC Designation in Mythic Heroes, in reality, gives me no more re-usable material than *any* other RPG book...
