A few points... I am not answering for either Bill or Clark here, but I want to point out that things were a little more complicated than they appear. Publishing a book, particularly a printed book that has to go into distribution, is not trivial. First, the announcement of 4e caused Necro...

The Mug and Bottle Whatever vice your PCs, or the criminals they seek, might have, The Mug and Bottle is happy to serve their dark desires. Zeon the Bold serves drugs, booze and women in the run down warehouse he converted into a tavern and brothel designed specifically to serve the basest...

WotC doesn't have to have a "position" on this. The copyright for the images is held by them. This pretty much means you can't use them without permission. If you don't have specific permission, you can't use them. Yeah, someone will chime in about spoofs, satire, etc., but I am pretty damn...

Just a quick bump to say "Happy Mother's Day" on, well, Mother's Day. The sale ends sometime late tonight or early tomorrow. I hope all the mother's out there have a great day! Patrick

Let's face it, the big name companies do not need a name like "Dungeons and Dragons" to help sell a CRPG. The cost of using the name simply isn't worth it to them. It is better for them, particularly in the long run, to create their own IP rather than license someone else's. I don't know if...

Compilations Tree, I do have compilations planned. I haven't decided how to do the printing yet. The layout I use for the .pdfs is actually designed more for on-screen reading and to have more reduced ink usage when people actually print them out. I do have a few "chapters" through layout with...

Thanks Tree! Let me know what other types of shops you think I should move to the top of the list of things to get done. I have a long list planned, I am just trying to determine what order to get them completed in. Patrick

Siarl’s Herbs and Elixirs Need some potions or healing kits? Siarl has been selling potions for over a hundred years! Located near the heart of the city, Siarl’s small shop and carefully guarded garden are easy to find. Siarl provides herbs, potions, and advice to anyone passing through. If...

A couple of quick responses: 1) People have the same or similar ideas all of the time. This is why most companies use that wonderful submission form that you have to sign recognizing that. When I prepared Eldritch Sorcery for Necromancer Games I had several submissions that were almost...

To the best of my knowledge there is no centralized listing of licensees for products like this. You'll have to dig into each one individually and find out who has the license, what type of license, etc. For example, a license to do a board game for a setting might or might not preclude giving...

Generic Universe Publishing (GU) is pleased to announce the newest release in the City Streets product line: Zinia’s Spa Are the PC’s worn out from adventuring? Perhaps it is time to visit Zinia’s Spa for a relaxing massage or a healing mudbath! Located on the edge of town near some natural...

Two things; First, this is not a "good" tutorial, it is absolutely fantastic and a must-read. I downloaded it based on a suggestion from a different message board (might have been by the same person ;)). I found it more helpful that several "bibles" people attest to. Just my personal opinion...

Generic Universe Publishing (GU) is pleased to announce the release of Tavern Denizens, Book I: The Dives as the first in a series of planned books in the Tavern Denizens product line. Throughout centuries taverns have been places to meet, relax, and talk. In the past some large taverns have...

You are going to hate this answer, but this is exactly the type of thing you need to talk to a real lawyer about. I have consulted with an IP lawyer (I was lucky enough to pay with an $80 bottle of scotch) about these questions and there are lots of "gray areas" that have not really been hashed...

18 hours to go I'll be deactivating the GM’s Day 2009 Tavern Special in approximately 18 hours, so if you are interested don't hesitate to pick it up. All of the other information in the first post stands, please go download Gior’s Glassworks to get a better idea of what the City Streets...

I can’t find the original GM’s Day post to bump, so I thought I would post again and warn everyone that Generic Universe Publishing’s (GU) GM’s Day 2009 Tavern Special Bundle is only a limited time release. It will be removed from sale on Saturday, March 7th. This bundle contains three taverns...
