I like the "thanks paladin by name in her prayers every day" option. Some ways to make this tangible in the campaign: - The paladin gets in trouble with his deity somehow; the deity's agent is all primed to lay down some punishment, but the prayers of the commoner are enough to intervene on his...

I've heard an estimate that about 20 people have become millionaires through pen and paper roleplaying. I'd like to think that Chris is among them because a million bucks isn't that much these days, and believing that the head of one of the biggest d20 companies can achieve that level by putting...

Last time we had this conversation, Chris mentioned that he was looking forward to picking Charles' brain about the D&D sales figures at the Wizards holiday party. Did anything come of that that you're able to share?

I've always been impressed by how many authors and artists there are at EN World - both established professionals who care enough about this community (and the resources and ideas it offers) to become regular posters, and also people who started out as fans and have now broken in to the...

His post actually said that this has been the best year for D&D ever, and subsequently clarified that this was for the RPG line alone, not including miniatures, novels, computer game licenses, etc. So arguing from this, the evidence suggests the OGL has helped, rather than hurt, WotC. Whether...

Cool, I'll start a thread in General and start collecting names!

Yeah, I suspected it might just be a mirror. How about an EN World page with links to the shop (to drive sales in a way that's useful to the site)? This could allow a focus on products that have come out of our community, and also just be a focus for EN World pride - there really is an...

Behemoth3, Inc. is working on a directory listing the published appearances of the classic monsters of Dungeons and Dragons. This project has generated some great enthusiasm among fellow monster fans, and a number of people have volunteered to hunt down and contribute monster appearances...

I'm wondering whether EN World has the ability to customize the EN World shop, or if it's a simple mirror or portal for the general RPG Shop website. I was thinking it'd be cool to have a separate area for things that were written by EN World regulars - linking their screen name to the name that...

Congrats on your latest appearance in Dungeon, Mighty Halfling! The response times for gaming material seem better overall than for fiction - check out the Black Hole for response data for various fiction markets. 90 days is the average for Asimov's, for example.

I bought myself Gene Wolfe's The Wizard - didn't realize it had come out in time to put it on my wish list - and am reading it now with great pleasure. Well, actually I'm typing about it now, but in just a moment I'll go back to reading it...

Thanks for the thanks me too - especially since we haven't actually managed to donate them yet :eek:

Good news and bad news from Behemoth3, O worthy donors: Good news is that Piratecat and alsih2o have provided us with the list of 296 emails for the people who we'll be sending prizes to: your choice of either of our Horde Books so far in the Masters and Minions series, A Swarm of Stirges or...

The Section 15 is a terrible way to attribute work to its authors - there's no way to tell what Section 15 entries correspond to what content, and the Section 15 will, in many cases, have entries for works & authors that do not appear in the current work at all. At Behemoth3, we created a...

Hear, hear! I wouldn't hold my breath for a lot of new epic level material, though; even if it is a relatively under-explored niche, it's also a ton more work to design than lower-level stuff (both in the time it takes to stat out any given NPC, and in the effort needed to be sure the scenario...

If any of your characters have the Track feat, you can use this to entice them into an encounter by dropping intriguing clues - "You see a hoofprint; it looks like a horse was running with reckless speed in this terrain, but there's no sign of anything pursuing it. A little while later, you see...

Charles confirmed at the Wizards boards that the 4 million regular players estimate applies only to the U.S. If, as I've heard estimated, the number of players overseas is equal to half that in the States - not far from Gygax's figures - that would imply six million worldwide.

Chris Pramas stopped by the Behemoth3 booth at So Cal and I tried to give him a set of our Horde Books out of sheer fannish enthusiasm for all things Green Ronin. Being a gentleman, he said he'd rather trade for them than get them for free, so I swapped for a copy of the Advanced Bestiary. It's...

This is a great idea, whose power might be enhanced by donating core books to public libraries -- so that kids who get into the game with the Basic Set have a free pathway for moving deeper into the hobby. EDIT: The D&D/FR novels are certainly popular at my local public libraries - it'd be cool...

2 ideas: 1) Think the M.C. Escher prints about staircases and doorways - the demiplane is a weird knot of worked stone passageways that loops back on itself infinitely, and is at a juncture of transitory planes. 2) The 'island' is a moving patch of Earthlike conditions within the Elemental...
