Here is the thing. I actually had a good time during my events at DDXP. I enjoyed the games I was playing and I do believe that 4E will be a good game. I think many of my concerns are founded from my near constant need to nitpick the games systems that I play, and that goes for 3E as well as 4E...

I completely agree with your examples. My point though is this. The saves vs bodaks and the init rolls vs the four armed monkeys of doom are both rolls that the characters can influence with their build. These rolls are clearly outside the PCs (or even DMs) influence (afaik), making them a wild...

I was expecting that, truth be told. I was hoping it would not be so clear cut. If I had more than 1 enemy within a small area, the fire blast ability was the best choice. If not, magic missile was the way to go. There were some mitigating factors some of the time I guess. Hmm... I need to...

I do agree with this to some extent. The wizard actually doing magic every round is an improvement over trying to shoot a crossbow poorly. From a purely mechanical perspective, however, if you strip away what the actual action is, you are still taking the same one over and over again. Once...

Yeah, I can see where that might seem a bit obvious. What I was trying to get across is this. The balancing mechanism for the encounter powers of monsters is a random rechange mechanic. If your DM has a string of lucky rolls in this regard, the fight is going to be much harder than it would be...

Hey there all, Just thought I would post a general announcement about this opportunity. We (Paizo Publishing) are having an open call to write one of our upcoming GameMastery Modules. Rules and guidelines for this open call are available through our blog. Thanks for reading and good luck...

I just saw this commercial about half a dozen times while watching some old code monkey episodes on G4. Gary, you are mentioned quite prominently... I look forward to it. Now.. if we could only get your character back on the new Futurama... Jason Bulmahn GameMastery Brand Manager

Actually, they don't.. mostly. If you take a good look through Greyhawk Ruins, you will notice that some of the best maps were in the Tower of War. Those in the Tower of Magic and Tower of Zagig are mostly uninspired, repetative, and boring. So... when designing this book, we tried to use some...

Although I am sure that Erik will say as much as soon as he spots this thread, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for spending some time at the Paizo booth. It was great seeing you there. As a side note, Anubis Murders is now at the top of my pile and I look forward to reading it...

Whistles quietly.... Thanks for the great review Sean. This book was a blast to write, and was unchanged from our original manuscript for the most part. As for the Vayne question, we did not use LG material as canon for this module (for the most part, I snuck in a few bits). The problem with...

Although James beat me to it, there is indeed a web enhancement on the way for the Side Treks in this adventure. I had a blast putting them together (and adding a few new ones too). To everybody else, I am really quite pleased at the great response this book is getting. It was really tough...

I've got it, but I think my impressions might be a bit biased. That said, I feel like this book represents some of my best work. Here is to hoping that lots of people agree with me. Jason Bulmahn GameMastery Brand Manager EttRoG Co-Author

It is the end of an era. I have not been working on it quite as long as Mike, but I will miss editing The Dragon nonetheless. Farewell. Jason Bulmahn Managing Editor of Dragon Signing Off Dragon Magazine (#327-#359)

Funny enough.. I wrote that one too. I was aiming to create some creatures that caused the combat to shift mid-stream. Far too often, imho, combats tend to degrade into a boring routine, with the heavy hitters exhanging blows for round after round until one falls. I hope these help add some fun...

Josh is being coy here, but since we have already announced it, I shall confirm it. We are releasing a 64 page full-color Campaign Gazetteer in January 08. The book will give a broad overview of one large chunk of our setting as well as serve as a handy reference for the gods, peoples, and...

You sir, are my new favorite poster on ENworld... Jason Bulmahn GameMastery Brand Manager Spirrax inventor... woot.

Rauol_Duke is correct. Both Pathfinder and the GameMastery Modules are set in the same world. While Pathfinder (for the current time) is sticking to one region (Varisia), the GameMastery Modules hop around to give you a wider view of the world beyond. Jason Bulmahn GameMastery Brand Manager

Hey there all, In an effort to spread the word, I thought I would post up this bit of news here. We have posted up a free PDF of four sample PCs for players to use as demos for the free adventure D0: Hollows Last Hope, to be given away at this weekends Free RPG Day. If you are interested in...
