Thanks Morrus - that's helpful. As I said in the post above, the sourcebook will be almost entirely free of game mechanics, but I really don't want to screw this up. Cheers Rich

Yes, I was. The Parsantium book will be almost entirely mechanics and stat free, so I might describe the priest at the Temple of Dahan Lao, but would not be saying what level or class he was. Having said that, this whole thing sounds pretty tricky. It might be easier to go with the OGL... My...

No worries. I'm still not sure how to interpret the "same like-named content" bit though.

From the FAQ here: http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/4E_GSL_FAQ.pdf Q: Can I use the GSL and OGL in the same title? A: There is no provision in the GSL preventing the of use the OGL but publishers must take care to not assume content in the OGL SRD is the same as like-named content in the GSL...

Hi, A question for 3rd Party Publishers and/or legal eagles. I notice that Admiral o' the High Seas from EN Publishing was published under both the GSL (for 4e D&D) and the Pathfinder compatibility license. I would like to mention a few things from the 4e GSL (dragonborn, eladrin etc) in the...

Hi, I've posted an update on the blog about the cover ;) What do you think makes a good RPG cover? Cheers Rich

Hi, There's a fair bit of info about the Nine Hells in the 1e MMII, although I think this is mostly from the Ed Greenwood articles. Cheers Rich

Hi, My favourite shop is Orc's Nest, 6 Earlham Street, London WC2H 9RY – nice and central and run by great people. Website here . Leisure Games is very good but it's a bit out of the way. Dark Sphere had virtually no roleplaying stuff when I went there 6 months ago. I have a bookbinding wife...

I think this sounds very likely. If you have a strong campaign setting with lots of fans, it seems odd not to make this the default setting for your game. The halfway house we had with 4e (and to a lesser extent 3e which used a kind of Greyhawk Lite) doesn't really help anyone. I don't think...

Hi, I’ve had a busy few days revising the first draft of the text and also working out a “flat plan” with Kate to see how the text will fit the pages and where the interior art will go. As things stand, the text is 90,000 words and will fill 136 pages, making the book pretty meaty in size. I’ve...

Hi, There's a new post on the blog about art in city sourcebooks. What kind of art is most useful or relevant to you? Cheers Rich

Hi, There's a new post on the blog about the new names I'm using for Sahasra, Batiara et al. Let me know how you come up with names for places and people in your games! Cheers Rich

Looking forward to it! Rich

Hi, Alphabetical for me too, with maybe some kind of icon like the Pathfinder or Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary to denote the trap monsters etc. Good to reminisce about the Monstrous Compendiums on here. Good idea in theory, terrible in practice. It was cool to be able to take a few sheets to a...

Still very much a work in progress but my new website for Parsantium: City at the Crossroads is live ;) Cheers Rich

Can you find an ear seeker when you check a door for traps? Our group tends to check for traps, then listen, then open the door, when we are being cautious. Does anyone else remember goldbugs? Think they were in the original Fiend Folio. I also ran a fun Spelljammer adventure featuring yitsan -...

I used rot grubs many times back in the day. I have never used ear seekers. Thought this one was an interesting article. I'm happy for green slime, mold and shriekers to be hazards but the rest all feel like monsters to me. Piercers are pretty naff - once they've dropped, they're helpless - but...

Hi, Very happy to report the first draft of Parsantium: City at the Crossroads is finished! Coming in at 87,800 words it's a lot longer than I initially thought but I've tried to do each aspect of the city justice. I think I might take tomorrow off and prepare for my D&D Next game, then get...

Hi, For those of you who liked Defenders of Midgard but were frustrated by the lack of paragon powers for the clockwork and glyph magic schools, the first of these is on the KQ website. Cheers Richard
