    Drinking at the Game Table?

    We we allow it. why? Because we are all adults. However, we don't drink often, usually once in a while one or two players will bring some beer, but just as often they don't.

    I'm so totally chillin' right now. How about you?

    I'm doing the same thing I do every day... trying to take over the world! :) Unfortunately my keyboard has been shorting out on me lately, so its holding me back. A beer sounds good. Think I'll get one myself... :D

    Would D&D be easier if...

    Well, I think if you were going to make a simpler version of the rule set, it should still be reasonably similar to the core rules, as the goal of making a simple rule set is to get people used to the basics, so they can "graduate" to the "advanced" system. So, I think an easier version would...

    Skill DC descriptions

    We usually don't adhere strictly to those descriptors. I usually try to explain things from the character's point of view.

    On The Origin of D&D Words

    Back when I started publishing, I wanted to use the word Libram for a book title, but I likewise couldn't find any info on it. So I wrote to Gary Gygax, and to some language expert at Websters. Gary said it was a variant of a Latin word (IIRC), but since it was mostly a made up word, there...

    Character Aging modifiers for children?

    Back in 2e, my group came up with some house rules for stats for kids when one of the players wanted to play a child. IIRC, we penalized his Str. and his Wis. Maybe one other stat, too, but I'm not sure. Depending on the age, -2 or -4 would be about right, I think.

    Sound of Thunder

    Wow. THat's a real lame idea. I suppose it could work as a dramatic device (drama builds as you know that humans are about to be changed). But really, it flies in the face of logic. Its too bad the movie sucks so. I really liked the story, and Bradbury is one of my all time favorite writers...

    How not to run a Job Fair.

    I agree, I went to a job fair once a few years ago and I actually got into a semi-argument with one of the employers there.

    D&D Magic -- how would you fix it?

    I don't really mind the fire and forget method, but I have made thematic changes to the schools in various campaigns. I had a homebrew several years ago with more than 16 different schools of magic like Time, Space, Force, Death, etc, instead of the standard 8 in the PHB. I've also split them...

    Favorite Levels of Play and then some Advice

    I voted 6th-10th, but really I'd say I like gaming anywhere between 3rd and 12th, which is a wider range than in previous editions. Under 1e and 2e, I felt the sweet spot was 6th-9th. Now, I find 3rd-12th are the easiest and most fun levels to play in, but I really don't mind starting as low as...

    Let's reflect for a moment on how important this site is

    To PDF Publishers: Why landscape?

    I switched to landscape for onscreen viewing and a plain text protrait version for printing several months ago afetr buying a PDF from another publisher that was laid out like that, and I liked it. Reading a landscape format onscreen is a lot better than a portrait format, IMO.

    Is piracy a serious issue for game developers?

    The current version (which was made back in 2002 and is in desperate need of a revision) will continue to be available for $5 until I disable it sometime in December or January. The revision (selling for $7) will be released sometime in April... maybe sooner, but no sooner than February.

    Is piracy a serious issue for game developers?

    What it is: A book on the "rules of psychology" in an RPG. It is written for d20, but a lot of people find it most useful for Call of Cthulhu. The chapter on personality runs on its own mini-game mechanic (a % system) and can be added to any RPG system. The current version does not have any...
