    Have some books become 'definitive'?

    I think that the criteria for definitive, for me, would rely on the OGL. When a set of rules from a given book start getting re-used all over the place, then I think the book will be definitive. As of yet, I think there just hasn't been enough cross-pollination for this to happen.

    SRD In PDF, Any bought it(Story in news)

    At your going rate, that's not the kind of work you'd be doing. I suppose you'd pay someone $95 to clean your house for 2 hours too? Wow! Need a house cleaner? Who needs to be a programmer, anyway?

    SRD In PDF, Any bought it(Story in news)

    If you create original content, you need to write the stuff, format it, and possible work with obtaining artwork and doing art layout. This is more work than just format existing content. Of course in the end, if it's worth it for you then it's worth paying money for it. I also don't mean to...

    SRD In PDF, Any bought it(Story in news)

    Strange. It works sometimes and then doesn't work at other times. I think the server must be having problems at the moment. If it doesn't clear up soon does anyone have a place to put the file so people can download? It's 1.7 MB.

    SRD In PDF, Any bought it(Story in news)

    Haven't bought it, but they mentioned that they will be doing the Modern SRD too. I wanted to point out to anyone interested that I've already compiled the Modern SRD into PDF format and am distributing it for free here: http://home.attbi.com/~kenji.baugham/ From personal experience, I think...

    What is your favorite monster?

    My favorite is the flumph! The second stringers are the Yuan-Ti, Rakshasa, and Nagas. I'm also fond of intelligent apes. They all have a great pulp fantasy Robert Howard exotic feel to them. Furthermore, the greatest aesthetic strength of all of these is in the non-combat arena. It's all...

    Anthony Valterra breaks his silence

    Here is what I'm referring to: Sorry about that. I was honestly having trouble finding an accurate yet diplomatic phrase and I came up a bit short. Anyway, I asked if it was intentionally implicitly representing the product as something more than it is. Anthony confirmed. I think that is...

    Anthony Valterra breaks his silence

    From your web site: How does this honesty and forthrightness relate to a deliberately misleading/sensationalist press release - considering that the press release was effectively the company's inauguration into the rpg publishing world and is now the irrevocable first impression among the...

    Kenzer D&D logo

    I don't think anyone has addressed this yet. It was all part of the same license agreement. They got the rights to use all 1e and 2e material, which is where Hackmaster came from. They also got rights to release Kalamar material (it has to be Kalamar related and no generic D&D supplements are...

    Erotic publications for RPGs

    And another roughly 15% falls into this ambiguous heading: Q: Does your campaign have use for the BoEF? A: No, but it will make me consider adding such iisues This still doesn't mean that those who voted that way will have any interest in the book proper itself, although it doesn't preclude...

    [YA BoEF thread] Usefulness of BoEF in your campaign?

    I'm just curious as to why you need a book for these things. You can answer these questions very quickly on your own and there aren't really any balance considerations. For example: 1. Depends on the campaign world and your plot needs. I would most likely extend the spell to the child and...

    Anthony Valterra breaks his silence

    Thanks for answering all of my questions! While I really frown very strongly against such tactics, I must say that your honesty and candor has really impressed me. I do still find it upsetting, though, that you would attempt to increase confusion, tension, and argument within the community so...

    Best magic system to represent numerous and diverse cultural occult traditions?

    Re: Re: Best magic system to represent numerous and diverse cultural occult tradition Great point and I agree that usually a spell list is enough differentiation. Do you think there is no occasional need for mechanics governing how spells are cast? What do you think of my alchemist idea? I...
