    Oathbound Preview

    We gave away about 75 copies of the world map from pages 72-73. This was a copy without map tags, allowing the DM to show his players the world without those nagging questions like, "Hey, what's this Arena thing?!"

    A Question About Freelance Editors

    Editing is one of those things that I prefer to be handled by an in-house editor who is familiar with the house style, has a firm grasp on the rules, and a strong grasp on the English language.

    Oathbound Preview

    Once again, thanks for all the kind words. ;-) Oathbound represents a huge effort on our part to bring out a world that can be dropped into any campaign setting (ala Planescape, Ravenloft, and a few others) while still having the legs to be a dynamic campaign setting in its own right. Much of...

    Advertising/Marketing for D&D/d20

    I agree that the Maxim ad generated a lot of very positive buzz for 3E. I can't recall off the top of my head how much we paid for it, but I know it was pricey! Advertising in mass market magazines has a great effect when you have a brand you're building on. For many of the d20 publishers...

    Advertising/Marketing for D&D/d20

    Marketing is one of those grey areas that every publisher has to face. Some believe that marketing is the road to success, while others look at it as a waste of money. Advertising is expensive, and its effects are largely impossible to calculate. Sure, you can set up a website and count hits...

    European markets and d20 publishers - a little survey

    [/b] The European markets represent great potential, but so far virtually no one has successfully cracked them save for local publishers. WotC and TSR both handled the situation in the past by licensing other companies to perform translations of their works, but that strategy didn't result in a...
