Setting Search Finalists: Who are these guys?

Re: Re: Hey, I know that guy...

What? NO Writing credits, dude that babylon 5 conversion is all the credit you need for me...

There's another B5 conversion to D20? I've seen one that was based on The Babylon Project which seemed pretty good.

 

[Sulimo]

Ha! I forgot about that. I'm surprised anyone else found it, buried so deep in WOTC's boards. I have it on good authority that someone (don't know who) has secured new RPG rights to B5, so I guess that pet project isn't going anywhere officially.
And thanks for the Congrats, Undead Pete.

Yeah. JMS announced it awhile back. As is normal for JMS he didnt say who though (he leaves those kinds of announcements to the parties themselves).

Re: Hey, I know that guy...

Of course, I can't tell you anything about my world. The details on "Flumph-world: Quest to Not Be Flipped Over" will have to remain secret for now.

Hoody Hoo! I always thought the Flumph got the shaft under 3e. Not anymore...

But what's this obsession with cows??

Wanna bet he plays Diablo 2 too much... cows... cows... all those Hell Bovines in the Moo Moo Farm....

Mo00ooooooo........

I think I'll go to bed now..... m0oooo

What's the obsession with cows?

First off, congratulations, Rich! I fear Flumph-world, but I am confident that my "Dungeons & Non-Disclosure Agreements" (D & NDA) has a fighting chance.

As for the cows, the truth is undoubtedly less exciting than the mystery. My household is ruled by a stuffed cow named Bossy, who gets her picture taken all over the place. For the full story, go to www.BossytheCow.com and go to the Diversions page. "The Hellcow" was just a random idea for an interesting event to break up a journey. I certainly never expected WotC to be interested in Cow World as a setting... Oops, forget I said that.

I approve of people with a sense of humor. Some day, we'll say, "Yup, Keith Baker! I stalked him before he got famous!" And we'll get free drinks for telling the story of this thread.

Re: I Lurk!

[I'll] simply note that it didn't include the words "Golden Age", and leave it at that.

When do you expect Auric Aeon to be released?

Alan Kellogg, author of I Couldabeen a Contenda d20. The RPG for folks who didn't make the cut in Wizards' setting search.

Ah, D&NDA. You and the DM determine the PC's class and race, but you are strictly forbidden to tell any of the other players, or display any class- or race-based abilities. Your character sheet is 15 pages of legal-ese and ends with your signature. If asked by your spouse or other family member, you must deny that you are even playing D&NDA unless they are also playing and have signed a character sheet.

That may well challenge Flumph-World. Available races: flumph, half-flumph, fiendish/celestial flumph, or gnome. Why the gnome? Why indeed! (laughs evilly...)

Re: Hey, I know that guy...

Hmmm, well, I'm still reeling from the fact that WOTC released my name on their website after hammering home that I had to get my sister to sign an NDA before I could tell her I made it. But my friend emailed me a link to this topic after seeing it, so I figured that rather than consign you to any further head-scratching over my previous RPG writing credits, I would let you know that I have none. At least professionally.

Of course, I can't tell you anything about my world. The details on "Flumph-world: Quest to Not Be Flipped Over" will have to remain secret for now.

Flumph-world??? Dang it I knew Oozeworld didn't have a good ring to it!

By the way, I loved your Giant in the Playground Prestige Class!

 

[GiantInThePlayground]

Oooh, another obscure posting of mine from yesteryear. The Giant in the Playground PrC from BlackIce's "Screen Name PrC Contest," circa Spring 2002. Alas, it was pruned about 2 months ago. I should have a backup copy of it, though who knows where. If I find it, I'll be sure to repost it somewhere. Until then, you can enjoy another contest entry that was well-received, the Halfling Skiprock Champion .

Thanks again to everyone again for the support!
