Perhaps Chris can come in here and correct me if I'm wrong, but creating a PDF for publication here at WotC is pretty much the same as creating a print product, at least up to the point where the book leaves typesetting. The only difference, as far as I know, is that the files that would...

A lot of times when books come from the printer the paper is still holding some moisture, and doesn't have time to fully escape the pages during shipping to stores. I've found that a lot of freshly-minted books I own get wavy pages, but if you put them in a tightly-packed bookshelf (or, as I do...

Spoilers for Spellgard, ahoy! I decided to run Spellgard as a part of my ongoing Forgotten Realms campaign, but I too heavily modified it to fit my needs. I didn't want a super-long dungeon crawl, so I have actually tossed out a bunch of the module. Instead, I focused on the rival-camps setup...

Ah. Those I'd also love to lay claim to, but I didn't invent them either. Those are the creation of Ari Marmell. You should be seeing them in a different article soon...

I left it a little ambiguous on purpose. What happens when someone turned to stone by a Basilisk gets smashed up? I'd say that Remove Affliction would work just fine, and that reducing the statue form doesn't destroy the body. Thanks! That hyena is the crocotta, and is actually from Robert...

Well, you know what they say: Great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ. --a fellow great mind. ;)

Oh, clearly, if you're over the age of 21 you can't use a CR bag that you're given; you have to go buy one at the liquor store, empty its contents in the traditional manner, and then you can use the bag. It's a time-tested tradition, a ritual that must be performed to bless the bag. Once the bag...

After an emergency concepting meeting, the new vision for the 4E modron has emerged: Yes, it's a joke folks. Modrons are fine in my book.

I would recommend The Game Mechanics' series of d20 Modern modules, which would definitely work in an Urban Arcana or Dark*Matter setting. They are Come for the Reaping, Slave Drivers, Flight 23, and The Brindisi Protocol. They make up the "Bronze Head" mini-campaign, which mixes the Modern with...

Just got my copy in the mail yesterday. I haven't had time to read it too in-depth, but it looks interesting. Nice work, guys!

Oh, I don't know about that. Test of the Smoking Eye is one of my favorite adventures because the players are suspicious, and it's not a matter of whether things will go badly for them but how and why. Also, please have some more italics.

I think, as far as Scales of War goes, if your players go through the adventures then they should hit the right levels. I don't know about the authors' experiences on Shackled City/Age of Worms/Savage Tide, but I finished writing a SoW adventure and it was very easy for me to include enough XP...

Around here, we say, "Jen" as in the first part of the name Jennifer, "ah" as in the exclamation when you understand something, and "see" as in what you do with your eyes. However, I believe that the one true way to say it is the way that Didier Monin pronounces it...every time I hear him...

So how has it played out for you, in practice? I've been doing something very similar for my own personal games as sort of an experiment, and I'm always interested in seeing how it works practically for you.

I don't necessarily agree with that. Part of the genasi collective identity is the struggle to tame the chaos within themselves. While that hasn't happened to such a degree to allow for a massive genasi empire in the World yet, there's no reason why the Wind Dukes of Aaqa couldn't also be tied...

It's really more of an Easter Egg from me to my fellow Al-Qadim fans. <3 Al-Qadim

I'm playing it on "old Facebook" right now. Damn, I thought I could avoid stupid social networking games, but looks like I can't avoid the lure of D&D-themed social networking games.

I was a college student when I started freelancing (English major who actually parlayed it into a real job!), and at one point I was going to school full time, working at Electronics Boutique, working the morning shift at a T-Shirt printing shop, and freelancing for Wizards all simultaneously...

I highly recommend Uncle's Games in Crossroads Mall in Bellevue. It's not too far from Seattle proper, though I'm sure some of the more downtown Seattlites can tell you some in that area. Uncle's is just a nice, clean, friendly store with a pretty good selection, especially if you're into board...
