Re: *BALLOONS AND FIREWORKS!!!*

Thanks, all for playing! I logged on and it just happened to be the "right time, " so to speak!

Thanks, all, for participating, thank you for your sportsmanship, and good night!

BTW, the three winners (Eternal Knight, Impeesa, and Dragongirl) should check their e-mail.

Nice .sig, Eternal Knight.

You're welcome. Now, I have to figure out what to do for post #1,000,000...

But for the love of mud, please don't start racing to that just yet!

Sorry... I caught and fixed it... that'll teach me to post after midnight... my typing fingers turn into gremlins when they get fed ENWorld after midnight.

Yeah... gremlins... that's it...

Seriously, though, I hope everyone had fun with this. And it will be interesting to see the reaction of those who log on this morning. I really thought the contest would be shorter than it was - as it was, it ran 8 hours-ish. I must've picked the "dead time of the day" to run it.

After all, where there's Free Stuff, there's a line.

True. I am going by post ID - I imagine the discrepency comes from deleted threads (e.g., some of the older and larger Hivemind threads).

That said, even if they're no longer around, I'll "count them" for purposes of the Free Stuff promotion.

So yes, I'm basing this on post ID.

Okeley dokeley...

Both of my products are PDFs, available from RPGNow.com -- I publish them under S.T. Cooley Publishing (imaginative, no? ) I try to make them as modular as humanly possible - by which I mean you should be able to incorporate as little as one paragraph - any paragraph - or as much as the whole book with NO need to "convert" existing material. That makes it truly "plug-n-play."

1.) The Enchiridion of Mystic Music...

This baby is almost a year old now (frightening! It was first released Mar 13, 2002) and, as you probably guessed from the title, is all about bards, bards bards. It's 76 pages of bardic goodness, ranging from a few prestige classes to a few rules clarifications (e.g., just how far IS "all allies that can hear him, anyway?") to the bulk of the book - new stuff to do with bardic music. LOTS of new stuff to do with your bardic music ability. Earlier renditions of this product were a little, well, ugly (I'll be honest) but about 2 months ago, I tried to revamp the look a little bit to make it a little easier on the eyes. All existing customers got an e-mail with a link to a free update. It is, as far as I know, the biggest single source for material for bards out there (other sources with bardic material are bigger, but mix in other classes' stuff as well - if you look at just the bard stuff, it's not as much). Again, it's plug-n-play - no "re-statting" your bard, no "starting from scratch" - you can literally build it on top of your existing campaign (assuming of course you are using the core rules - I can't make something that's compatible with everyone's house rules LOL).

2.) The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art

This was released near the end of January and is intended mostly as a sourcebook for "making new and exciting mundane treasures." It includes a massive overhaul of the Craft skill (why does it take 1000 times as much work to make a 1" platinum sphere as a 1" copper sphere?), an optional system for "city wealth" and Profession skill checks, and treats several old skills relating to making things and buying things. The "crown jewel" of this one, however, is probably the "materials" section - a huge section devoted entirely to describing materials - including and most especially the largest detailed treatment of gems that I know of in RPG literature - that can be used as "raw materials" for items. It gives rules or engraving items, crafting them with special features and/or abilities, and how much they cost (and how hard it is to do). Haven't you always wanted your paladin to wield a silver greatsword engraved with runes that are inlaid with sapphire and into which has been worked the paladin's holy symbol - and with a hollow pommel to store one shot of a "cure serious wounds" potion? That's in here (well, the rules for making it are, anyway). Not only that, but it includes rules for "ensorcelled" items - items with minor magical powers that have been "unlocked" by mages, but which emanate from the item itself and are linked the material from which they are made. These types of items make a great handout to low-level PCs who have masterwork weapons but maybe aren't ready for +1 longswords yet. Oh, yeah... it's a 144-page title. You can pick up a demo - the materials that start with the letter "A" - here.

Also, for those who care, 99.9% of the text in these works (everything but my name, email, the product name, and "S.T. Cooley Publishing") is Open Game Content - so the re-usability factor is extremely high.

Here is the homepage of my PDF publishing empire if you want more information. Hey, stop snickering! I'm trying to conquer the d20 world here, throw me a frickin' bone...

I intend to do some more revisions on both Enchiridia eventually (with the birth of my daughter in early February, I've been a bit pinched for time), but revisions are of course always free to paid customers (and contest winners ). In the very early planning stages are a product for rangers and the Enchiridion of Planar Powers (see "Upcoming Products" for more on the EoPP).

So there you have it... a brief overview of the stuff. I don't like to overly pimp - I don't wanna be "Hal Lite", but since you asked...
