There are already games, using the existing OGL, which are just as robust if not better in some cases as d20. True20 - by Green Ronin www.true20.com M&M Superlink - by Green Ronin http://www.mutantsandmasterminds.com/superlink/ Runequest OGL - by Mongoose Publishing...

Right on. The kids today get an average of 10-20 dollars a week from their parents in disposable income. I for one don't charge my 11 year old son for the WoW or CoH subscriptions. As of right now his disposable income goes to buying WarMachine minis, D&D minis, and every once in a while...

Does anyone remember when Dungeon Magazine added an Alternity adventure to it. The outrage that went through the roof regarding 16 pages of a magazine was immense. When I get home I'll repost some of those articles. How many people have clamored for d20 Modern adventures (which there have...

The analogy goes too far. The Dungeon & Dragon magazines =/= D&D. D&D, as produced by WotC consists of: - Rulebooks - Sourcebooks/Modules - Miniatures While long time gamers associate the magazines with the hobby their limited distribution does little to gain new gamers. While B&N may carry...

Yeah - I think that's why they killed off the CodeMonkey license. Part of the online intiative will be character creation software that you can use to save your characters and print off for game use. Later, Greg Volz

Yeah - I knew about GhostOrb:). I think 2050 will come much quicker than anyone else thinks. If the online character generator allows you to print out your character - which I think it will, then the toolset will also be of use to the non-online gamer. I'd invite you to play in an online game...

All, The core group of players is getting older, limited attraction to a younger crowd who has a shrinking attention span and more constraints on their entertainment dollar. For those that play XBox or PS3 - do you feel that a game that doesn't have multi-player, online content is less of a...

For those that are tech savvy enough to do it for free that's all fine and well. For the majority of the gaming populace the amount of work that you have to do for free game (loading Python and hoping it works, cutting and pasting images and uploading to photobucket, signing up for multiple...

So a product can't run unopposed? How would that product be judged against anything other than it's own category? I guess it's that whole round peg, square whole paradox. Maybe it's my whole IT and database background, unlike data types don't mix. I tried to find the category and nominations...

So it's a floating guideline or set of rules as to what constitutes a product? That's the wackiest set of criteria that a voting procedure can have. I mean even the Elks club or the Optimist club have a defined set of rules for voting. As another example to be considered a viable candidate...

I'm not a publisher...sure I dabble but I've got no products for sale. What are the criteria for judging products or are the lists arbitrarily put together with little to no guidelines. If those guidelines can't be pointed to, much like a forum faq or posting guidelines how do I know what I'm...

Some of the companies use GenCon to launch new products like A Faery's Tale by Firefly Games. They had a special that if you bought the PDF copy of their game before GenCon you could get a dead-tree one at GenCon. Goodman Games was selling their boxed campaign set way before it hit the...

In my enormous amounts of spare time (I kid) I've often wondered why rpg companies don't take advantage of some of the tools that don't require a server/client setup, like Screen Monkey, from www.nbos.com to run demos for prospective players. Let's say that you wanted to play Iron Gauntlets...

The Omni Severin which is around the block from the two microbreweries (one being The Ram) is an excellent hotel. I've stayed there with my son for the last three GenCon's. Indy is a much better town for GenCon and I live only 20 minutes from Milwaukee (I've been to GenCon's 84-2001 and then...

AutoRealm is free and can produce what you're looking for: http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/index.php Later, Greg Volz Natural Twenty Gaming www.naturaltwenty.com

Most definitely. I'm a self-described gaming whore. I have to keep a dbase list on my smart phone to look up stuff to see if I've already purchased it. I've been known to buy something, get home and realize I'd already purchased it:). Later, Greg V.

I have only one more thing to add - I'm very social and I like VTT software. I've found that alot of VTT players tend to be IT people. It's just a natural extension of giving a PowerPoint presentation - except in this one I get to kill 'em and take their stuff:). PS - can everyone else tell...

Klooge is a good tool and it's very robust. It can handle multiple gaming environments. The plugins for it to support other gaming systems are primarliy fan made but of excellent quality. The 3-D environments might be tough to mimic but you can handle elevation like most people do in regular...

The only thing missing from my VoIP/VT game last night was me not smelling when one of my player's dropped ass:). With voice software that's clearer than my phone line there was no shortage of put downs, making fun of each other and overall gaming goodness. Plus I didn't have to lug my tons of...

My transcripts would be limited to dice rolling and /whispers between players. I use virtual table top software, and Skype ( www.skype.com ) - a free voice-over-IP system that supports a 10 person teleconference. I run 6 players and myself regularly on a bi-monthly game. As for modules I am a...
