I wonder if it uses a system that can be played without the special dice? Even games like DC Universe or Hercules & Xena, which came with specially marked dice, were just "roll a bunch of D6 and treat 1 as botch, 4 and 5 as success, and 6 as critical" sort of thing. From the looks of it...

This is exactly how to handle the Classics modules when the NPC roster swells to huge size. And have you read my Vanderjack novel yet? :) Cheers, Cam Ex-Pat Kiwi

Yes, I was busy celebrating a 25th anniversary over the weekend. My bad! Cheers, Cam

See? What did I say? Cheers, Cam

Oh sure, I get the complaint, and I agree. In many ways, I think it'd be interesting to look at the troublesome section of the Dragonlance timeline and reboot THAT, rather than simply go back to the War of the Lance again. In other words, take the Chaos War and map it out as a multi-part...

The Chaos War was a generation after the War of the Lance. The War of Souls was a generation after that. While I agree that more could have been done to emphasize the aftershocks of these events, I don't buy into the "short time span" thing. Think about it. If the War of the Lance was World War...

They shouldn't. Anything is possible. However, this is the Internets. Until somebody from Wizards of the Coast tells you something, it's not true. Cheers, Cam

Regarding Dragonlance, you know what's most important and significant and personally meaningful to me is that this is the 25th anniversary of the setting. This year, with the release of Dragons of an Hourglass Mage, and the last few books in a collection of trilogies coming in, this year's the...

Paranoia still counts as a game that gets to its core element and has game stats for it. In Paranoia everybody has a mutant power and is a member of a secret society. It is treasonous to have mutant powers and be a member of a secret society. The game forces you to act paranoid because you are...

It isn't Dragonlance. Cheers, Cam

It's also important to note that while you do have to figure out what the game is about, you still need to explain what it is the characters do in the game. You can't leave that part out. I asked this question to the Dragonlance fan community a little while ago. What I wanted to know was the...

Since I actually live in Lake Geneva, it won't be a very long pilgrimage for me! Cheers, Cam

Mac. All of Margaret Weis Productions' books are created on Macs. My novel was created on a Mac. I love Macs. I only recently picked up a Windows emulator since I heard such good things about Character Builder. I'd prefer to be able to use Mac native, though. Cheers, Cam

So far the party includes: A disgraced half-fey battlesmith artificer, whose alchemical knowledge came in handy when she chanced upon... A clockwork assassin, who killed his employer and is now looking for the other constructs his creator made for decadent nobles, with the help of... A winter...

I briefly ran a 4E campaign set in Ed Greenwood's Castlemourn setting, originally written for 3.5/OGL. Right now I'm running a setting that I've described as "Neil Gaiman and Guy Ritchie kill Eberron and take its stuff." Cheers, Cam

I was born in Auckland. Don't trust those people born south of Auckland. They are evil and wicked. Auckland is the best place in the universe. Especially the North Shore. Just don't go to MOTAT. Nobody goes there. Also, if you see two redheaded kids, trying to get to the dormant volcanoes...

I could write a dozen new Dragonlance novels and still not run out of ideas for stories that retain the Dragonlance themes and continuity. I categorically deny that the setting's worn out and needs to be rebooted, but if it must, I have a pretty good idea how, when, and where to do that. And it...

Metamorphosis Alpha does introduce the Mutant power source, yes. There'll be four new classes in the MA Player's Guide that use this source, and anybody with one of those classes is a mutant. Of course, if you're a mutant raptor, badger, or spider you're a mutant already! The Player's Guide...

Action-Adventure Science Fiction Returns with Metamorphosis Alpha Signal Fire Studios LLC is proud to announce that 2010 will see the publication of the newest incarnation of the very first science fiction role playing game, Metamorphosis Alpha! Using the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game...

As D.Shaffer says, the so-called noble draconians were created from chromatic dragon eggs. This idea first started with a short story Jamie Chambers wrote years ago but never got published. When Andre and I were writing the Bestiary of Krynn, we included noble draconians in there to make Jamie...
