I would like to ask a point of clarification from WOTC: In these discussions, is the limitation regarding the cessation of OGL publications apply to all OGL products (including those that are not based on the WOTC SRD such as Runequest or Traveller), or does this only apply to OGL products that...

If you're getting hard copy through Lulu.com, then that price can make sense. The base cost for printing a 40 page book or magazine is about $5.33 or so, and then the guy needs to add a little on top of that just to make a little money himself. He's probably bringing home about 80 cents a copy...

Of the three PDFs I've written and sold over the last few years, the two smaller ones have sold less than 25 copies each, and Fantasy Concepts just hit the 50 copy mark this month, about five months after release. It's really hit or miss with PDFs and the like. Good Luck, Everyone, Flynn

Think of it in these generalized terms: The OGL (Open Gaming License) governs the declaration of game mechanics that are designated as open content. Using the OGL alone, you cannot label your products as being D20 System-compliant with the D20 System logo. This is the license that covers...

I had been looking forward to making two 3PP purchases from Necromancer at GenCon this year in regards to 4E (Tome of Horrors 4E and Advanced Player's Guide). From reading the announcements, I believe that I'll have to wait until October now. Is that correct? With Regards, Flynn

What about the people that contributed to Wolfgang Bauer's 4E Open Design project? I think that's the only money that has actually changed hands in regards to 4E, and is now waiting to be paid to WOTC once the GSL is completed. (Then again, I could be wrong, since I don't keep up with these...

Thank you, Knight Otu. Even though the quote is only two weeks after Gen Con last year, I imagine it still holds water, since there's been no general statements since then that contradict or change it. I Stand Corrected, Flynn

Do we know for sure that Psionics will not be in its own book? That's the model we've seen in the past (i.e. in 2nd Edition, 3E and v3.5). In the beginning of the 4E discussions, I came away with the feeling that there would be a separate Psionics book that was not part of the PHB series...

I can't vote in this poll. There's no option for: "Use the system popular with the countries where the most PHBs are sold." Right now, that's probably countries that use the Imperial system, but should the numbers shift, then use the Metric. Appeal to the largest audience that votes with their...

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. If you have any more, feel free to post. In the meantime, I'm going to check a few of these out! With Warm Regards, Flynn

I'll likely play on World Wide D&D Day, and then again on Free RPG Day (if they participate), but otherwise, it will likely be sometime in July before I get some 4E time in. It won't be a campaign, though, just some isolated One Shots and the like, and that will mostly be as a player. I'll make...

You can't go wrong with Savage Worlds for such an effort. There are so many fan conversions out there that you should easily be able to either find a complete Shadowrun conversion or build one by scavenging parts from here and there. I imagine it would be extremely easy to do. In fact, here's a...

Good Afternoon, All: For those that have been reading my campaign/Savage Worlds evaluation thread, you may be aware that my players are about to embark on a dungeon crawl. I want to capture something of a Hindi or Indian flavor, and was hoping that perhaps someone had already released a dungeon...

I have used the following dragon names in my campaigns before: * Anaxamandabriel * Avalinadon the Black Death * Chrysalis * Cornelius * Eramus the Fireheart * Helios * Nikodemus Hope These Help, Flynn

Slavelords of Cydonia, by Bad Axe Games, covers levels 1-20. Hope This Helps, Flynn

Session Notes - 04/09/08 Good Morning, All: It's Thursday, which means that I was fortunate enough to run another session in my weekly Savage Worlds Fantasy campaign last night. Everyone was in attendance, and we generally stayed on topic, so we were able to get some good gaming in. Oh, and I...

A mummified severed head (animated or not) A book that seriously discusses the Head of Vecna and its magical powers, as written by a True Believer A cultist's robes, silver mask and obsidian dagger, and directions to a young noble's house (it's really a costume party thing, but most people...

Good Morning, All: My mini collection is quickly outgrowing my current shelving unit, and I feel like I need to figure out better storage and organization. With that in mind, I figure I should turn to the members of this forum and ask you guys a simple question: how do you store and organize...

Good Morning, All: I don't think I'll be following the WOTC definition of Core. I imagine that I'll only allow the WOTC books that have been opened to the OGL/GSL/whatever license, because then there's opportunities to get third-party support (and maybe a chance for me to write a few things on...

Great ideas, guys! Please, keep 'em coming! With Regards, Flynn
