1) When I FIRST started, I didn't own a laptop, so I had to write everything long-hand, then go find the computer lab, enter it, print it out, and send it via mail. However I acquired one of those early Macintoshes not to long after that. Of course access to easy research is wonderful. But...

African or Australian? Favorite character is a hard one. I have a few. But let's narrow it down to 2, in no particular order: 1) Grandpa Iron, an elderly gent who still got around just fine thanks to his cyborg body (Fuses Flesh and Steel). For some reason, whenever Grandpa Iron spoke in...

You're right, the list I provided in the previous question (a list I pulled off my own biography site, not MCG) is missing a couple things, including: Ohunkakan: The Living Myths The Paradox Room (I'm going to add those in now, btw) That makes 12 PDF only products. As I indicated (and as...

Regarding Call of Cthulhu, I love the insanity mechanics, and the real-world meets crazy supernatural world, and all the squamous and rugose critters ;) Regarding "false precision," see a question on this same topic I just answered above!

Except for the stuff I did under the Malhavoc imprint, Wizards does own all the IP I created on their behalf, you're right :). I think everything I did for Wizards stands on its own. Anyone who is interested in converting Gates of Firestorm Peak, Return to the Tomb of Horrors, the Sunless...

Go for it! I think if you sit down with it you'll find that conversions come to mind fairly easy. Remember, when converting between rule systems, being precise isn't what wins--keeping to the spirit of the original adventure is what's important.

Heyya Jeff! Any model of reality is, by definition, only a model. Examine any model too closely, and it breaks down. That includes all game rules. The elegance of a game system that focuses on role playing is related to how well the model -seems- to create a consistent reality, and how well it...

1) Thanks for being a Strange Superfan, man! You helped make all of this happen. And as of Monday Feb 29th, we delivered every single reward promised for The Strange (the glimmer/fractal Cults, Factions, and Syndicates was the last). If you haven't gotten everything, could you please contact us...

We do. One just funded! (in the ongoing Worlds of the Cypher System Kickstarter.) Myth of the Maker, a novel of The Strange. In fact, it's the novel I first started writing after leaving Wizards. But a novel I failed to finish because my pal Monte said, "Hey, you know, that would make a great...

My inspiration to author Illithiad and the 3 supporting adventures was Bruce Heard, who scheduled products at TSR among other things. So thank you Bruce! I had a lot of fun writing the Illithiad because I was able to bring in a lot of my bio-science background to really make them creepy--that's...

Thank you! I had a few fights go get Demascus and it's spelling all the way through in Sword of the Gods. 1) In fact, Demascus was an avenger-assassin. 2) Damn, I hope so. I'd LOVE to see Spinner of Lies in print, instead of ebook only. When I was told that they were altering the deal, as...

TL;DR I was hired to code an electronic game, but ended up writing print products Long Version: I sort of stumbled into it. I was asked several times to write some content for Role Master. I was reluctant at first, since I was still busy pursuing my bio science degree and working the rest of...

Gotta go with the alien iron oxide eating monstrosity!

In my adventure Escatology Code, a military stealth drone is on call to nuke the adventure site (and Sioux Falls, SD) if the PCs fail to deal with the threat manifest by Father Foss and his "miracles." In at least a few play throughs I've been part of, the PCs have managed to get hold of that...

Will do!

I'm seeing this question a lot. Makes me think people really want to see something like the DM's Guild. Hmmmm. Well, the future of course could offer other options, though right now we have a fan use policy that's pretty open that anyone can make use of, a limited license anyone can apply for...

1) I'm pretty busy writing cool settings (like Gods of the Fall!) for the Cypher System. If I could psionically clone myself, I'd consider it ;) 2) You might find the PDF adventures Escatology Code or Mastodon useful as teaching adventures. They were both written as introductory adventures...

I pretty much find something to like in almost any setting I play in. In the past, I have played a lot Call of Cthulhu, though ;) Never say never! In the short term though, no plans to create a psionic setting. But you and a few others who've asked this question in other venues recently have...

Damn, if you hadn't qualified that with 'realistic' I'd have said my DREAM stretch goal would be to be able to ACTUALLY be granted an opportunity to awaken a dominion and become God of Secrets :). But realistically, I think I'll be satisfied with the very next stretch goal that (I think) we are...

Why thank you, yes; Abeir was my conception as a separated world, a world that came partly back into play during the Spellplague. But Ed Greenwood was the one who fleshed it out as a seperarate continent in the 4E Realms Campaign Guide. Though I created Tymanther and Akanûl on the main continent...
