*laugh* Fair enough Pogre. But then again you do have a little more legal background than most of us. ;)

*laugh* I guess I wasn't the only one thinking BoEM...

Malhavoc's Book of Eldritch Might includes PI designations of "all character*, item, and place names, histories, and named events, as well as Malhavoc Press identifying marks and product titles." This seems fine at the outset, but look at the items. There is the Bottled Whirlwind, which is a...

Congrats UK! Good luck on finishing up Apotheosis. That is the big one I am waiting for.

Wulf, As somebody peripherally interested in the OGL and it's implications, I find the topic interesting. Am I understanding you correctly in the following? You have done the work to create mechanics and you have provided language to understand how to use those mechanics. You encourage...

Because the principle is still a sound principle. Right now creative folk are still busy being creative. Let's face it, there is a huge societal hurdle to overcome regarding creativity and reusing somebody else's work. The easiest place to begin the process of leveraging OGC is probably in...

To build on an example, I release a monster called BSF's Stingy Monkey with stats, including a new ability called No Backsies, then write up a great description of the history, ecology and combat tactics of the Stingy Monkey. My OGC designation is that stats are OGC, but names of feats...

Themed campaigns are what piques my interest for Gestalt. The campaign is all about righteous wrath and smiting the wicked: Gestalt with Paladin The campaign is all about a sudden wild surge of arcane magic in the world and people are beginning to manifest without training: Gestalt with...

I recently banished monks from my gameworld. I replaced the unarmed combat role with the Martial Artist from Beyond Monks. Now I am working on including the armor feats from FFG's Wildscapes so Fighters can choose to be better with armor as well. I will likely homebrew a couple of new feats...

I don't think Mythic Heroes is entirely geared at expunging magic items. Just increasing options. As I said in my post above, Wulf was kind enough to give it a run down in his hosted forum. If you haven't read the post yet, you might take a look.

Mostly I ran modules as one-off type things. Then I got the greyhawk mapset and started imaging all this cool stuff that could be done with it. Then I go a little frustrated when new bits would be released that would contradict my cool plans. :) Then I got excited by FR. That would have been...

OK I am risking moderator wrath for abusing the report a post feature. :) Morrus posted a couple of days ago that he is inbetween dwellings and I think only an Admin can fix the account for you. So that would probably be Henry. It sounds like the database has the correct dates for you, but...

That's a good question. Admittedly I have been playing for 25 years or so. One of the reasons I started homebrewing gameworlds was because I wanted to incorporate elements that the designers didn't. Or worse, that the designers contradicted. Blatant fanboyism brought me to creating...

Part of it is managing player expectations. This is something I have definitely become better at over the years. Part of it is the manner in which crunch and fluff were mixed made it more effort to decouple the two. I often liked the Ecology articles in dragon magazine because they were...

It's not necessarily what I am saying. It appears to be market pressures. Perhaps the pressures have changed since Sean wrote his allegory? If they haven't, then many people are telling the market that they can build their own fluff. I encourage my players to use fluff. I build it into...

From what I know of your River of the Worlds campaign, have you looked at any of the planar stuff from Ronin Arts/Lions Den Press? Bad Axe's new Mythic Heroes looks to be excellent as well. Wulf was kind enough to provide a breakdown of the book in his hosted forum...

Part of the issue though is that I am the equivelant of a blasphemer to you Shemeska. I never wanted to play planescape. So all that flavor text just made it harder for me to integrate into my homebrew settings. There was more flavor in many portions of 2E. Assuming you wanted to use that...

You know, this sounded like a good idea at the beginning of the week. But the whole family has gotten sick. I have been completely miserable the past couple of days and I wouldn't want any of you to feel this way. Especially over Christmas! How about we just wait until after Christmas to do...

Any chance you will be releasing some of the DSC counter artwork in a format similar to Fiery Dragon? I liked a lot of your artwork and it would be a complementary addition to the Counter Collection Digital. Of course, it is easier to release such products as PDF if they are solely...

Be honest with the player. The PC is overpowered in X, Y and Z ways. Ask if the player could retool the character or retire the character. Point out that you are trying to keep the game fun and challenging for everyone at the table and you are having a difficult time doing that with the...
