I don't know if I should post this here, since I guess it could be construed as product pimping, even though I don't really pimp anything I write. But there isn't really a place I can go to and really talk about this sort of thing, with a group of people who know what I mean. I just got a pdf...

Soooooooo, I've got a popup virus, apparently one that knows my habits pretty well. I just got a popup for rpgxplorer.com Apparently it's some sort of "OGL character builder software". I've never heard of it. Any experiences?

While the other warrior classes have an abundance of choice when it comes to selecting useful, and powerful feats, the psychic warrior and the soulknife have long had to make do with just a bare handful of feats designed to take advantage of their unique abilities. No more! With the new...

Ronin Art's newest release is Prestige Class Optimizer #1: Way of the Arcane Archer Prestige classes are a great tool for creating the ideal themed adventurer, one who has chosen to focus himself along a specific path of development in order to truly master his skills. Unfortunately, the new...

While browsing through my copy of the Book of Exalted Deeds yesterday, I was struck by a random memory from the good old days. When I was 9 or maybe 10, sometime in the early 80's, my DM introduced a new step in the character creation process. 1) Roll stats (3d6) 2) Lie about your rolls and...

The Evocation school isn't what it used to be. To jumble metaphors, it's like a setting sun that's been eclipsed by a rising star. *AHEM* With each new release, and with each new rules revision, other schools of magic intrude on Evocation's territory, turning what was once the premiere school...

Why cast a fireball when you can conjure up a being of elemental fire, one eager and able to serve your every whim? The summoner is one of the most compelling spellcasting archetypes, but one that has been sadly overlooked in d20 fantasy. There are few feats which deal specifically with...

All too often, adventuring parties in D20 fantasy campaigns are less than the sum of their parts, with each member of the party possessing feats intended only to increase his or her own power. A Dozen and Three Group Feats is intended to help change that. The fifteen feets presented in this...

Looks like I might finally have a chance to PLAY in a campaign again - it's been a loooooong time for me, getting to play a character - and I really like the idea of playing a healer character. Unfortunately, looking at the Healer class (from the minis handbook) it just doesn't look... well...

So, while checking out sales of my newest book (yeah the one in the sig) I noticed that "a buyer also purchased" a book detailing the cultures of the Southern Lands of something called the "Elemental Lands". So, since I liked the cover, I clicked on it, and was shown the catalogue of Dunham...

Over on RPG.net, a poster named SteveD started a thread about "D&D movies which should never be made". The idea is to take a movie title, and blend it with a rule, a term, an NPC, a monster, a location, or basically anything from D&D. For those interested, here's the original thread: D&D...

Well, I picked up the Eberron Campaign book, and I like a lot of what I see, with some minor, and not so minor reservations. Things I like: The idea that PCs are very much peers of the major powers of the land. It's an empowering thing, that players can, at mid levels, stand as equals to the...

So, I've got a yen to play a half-ogre witch hunter, complete with puritanesque gear (the buckle hat, the shoes, the whole nine yards), and I want to arm him up with flintlocks. Big flintlocks. Big, capital FLI flintlocks (because one capital letter just isn't big enough). And he's about as...

So, on the front page of rpg.net, I saw that Legend of the Five Rings: Way of the Open Hand is up for sale now. Has anyone seen it yet, and can you tell me what's in it? I don't get to the game store often enough anymore and I love monk books, so I'm curious how packed with new stuff it is. I...
