I know this is a bit last minute, but is anyone else noticing a weird problem with that Word template where it wants to capitalize words like "if" and "it"? I'm finding that any word that starts with I may get incorrectly "corrected" to capitalize the I. It doesn't always do it and it's not even...

And your publisher. Don't forget about him.

Thanks. Most of that is what I thought he meant, but some of the sentences in that paragraph read like they're missing a few words so I just wanted to make sure. Why 38.5%? At GAMA pretty much all the distributors told me 40.

" One Book Shelf are Rpgnow.com and dtrpg.com pay their publishers 65% of the headline price, and we allow 5% for card charges and refunds on our mail order site. You can also get an idea of the horrors of margins through distribution 38.5% of retail, and 25c a unit. The cost of printing this...

Everyone says the magazines, but I hardly knew anyone besides myself (subscribed for about two years) who actually read them when they were in print. I voted for boxed sets, and given the popularity of Euro-style boardgames at the moment you're going to have a much harder time convincing me...

Inordinately high compared to what? That doesn't sound that bad. Of course, hardly anyone in this industry can do 20,000 units on a reliable basis, but if I thought I could I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Thanks, as one of the top 16 and someone who used to be on EN World quite a bit (still drop by sometimes), I appreciate you bringing a bit more attention to the contest. Bit late to the party, though - all of the top 32 had our maps up for the previous week, before the top 16 were announced...

Thanks for doing it as an article rather than a video this time around. I'd much rather read something like this than watch it.

Computer languages are, at the most basic level, implementations of the rules of formal logic. "If...then" has been a mainstay of those for centuries. So I'd definitely come down on the "obvious, and not just after the fact" side there.

You know the first two are two different covers for the exact same book, right? In any case, I've got all the 3.5 ones, probably about two thirds of the 2E appendixes (totalling across both the binder and softcover formats) plus the Monstrous Manual, and the 3 first edition ones. Also a...

Sorry if the semi-necro bothers anyone, but there's a fairly obvious way to do this exact thing quite easily; use an image of a clock face as a template.

Here's the comment I just posted under that review: Intentionally or not, your review methodology is very tilted in Paizo's favour. You didn't expose these players to the difference that is perhaps most important to a real-world purchase decision - price. Your language can also be read as...

I think I mostly use PH, though it's not something I've ever given much thought until now. It may depend on whether it's being mentioned in the same breath as the DMG or not.

Even for D&D, not having Mystara - my favorite official D&D setting - listed is a bit of a problem. (Or the Known World - most people don't distinguish between the two, if you do or even were aware that some people do, you're pretty old-school!) Of the settings I'd be likeliest to use, only...

You're obviously at least somewhat old-school, so TSR's old Marvel Super Heroes game from the 80s sounds like the way to go. The rules are more or less complete in 16 pages, everything else is implementation details, and it's all based on one very visually appealing chart. (I say this as a DC...

Let's fill in or correct some wild magic table entries, from the larger scan: 05 - 06 A modron chosen and controlled by the DM appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, then disappears 1 minute later. 09 - 10 You cast magic missile as a 5th level spell. 17 - 18 You grow a long...

In Fantasy Infinity, I'm using something like this. In my system, there is a (fairly abstract, compared to 3rd and 4th generation D&D) "battle board" everyone is assumed to be sitting around anyway, though the playtest version is actually a magnetic whiteboard that tends to be propped up next to...

Based on my own inquiries, twelve for a boxed set is as crazy as two, just in the opposite direction. (My own inquiries concerned a boxed set in a generally Eurogamish style, though it was for an RPG, not a boardgame.) Of course, I was talking about significantly shorter print runs than WotC...

This looks fun, even though it seems only tangentially related to the thread. (As an aside, it seems to me this is a more useful exercise if you're planning on running 13th Age or The Pool than any flavour of D&D, though it might be somewhat useful for Next or for 1E with secondary skills.) In...

Even if they were to implement the basic suggestion of this thread - i.e. do several RPG lines instead of just D&D, using some of the resources that would otherwise go to D&D splatbooks - this is the single thing they are LEAST likely to do. They already have a medieval fantasy RPG that uses the...
