More on the GSL from Scott Rouse
Well, last post was speculation filled. After a busy morning of speculation and picking apart posts, Scott Rouse posted this:
I am not going to say anything else until I have the final license in my hot little hands.
I am reading the thread, absorbing all the opinions, rants, speculations, thoughts, and musings. I have chimed in on a couple posts ( Read more... ) -
Wizards' "Poison Pill"
This is a bit of a buzz on the D20 related forums, but I thought I'd share here to collect my thoughts and expose the issue to the LJ circuit.
I had sort of taken a back seat in the wailing and gnashing that is the D&D 4e buildup, and specifically, the discussion of the licensing of the 4th edition content. I had sort of come to a peace with 4e. ( Read more... ) -
A visit to the bookstore
I live in an out of the way little county with limited urban development. Our occasional trips northward take us to the mall and other shops that can't be had locally.

Now this is interesting...
For those who might have missed it, Paizo has announced that they are producing a Pathfinder RPG based on the 3.5 rules and with backwards compatibility in mind ( Read more... ) -
How not to promote your game.
There's been a bit of talk lately on the topic of different gaming subcultures extolling the wrongness of other segments. Myself, I usually roll my eyes, though now and then I go on the defensive about it.
At one time, I wasn't so far off. GURPS was the target for my disdain. Weekly, I'd come up with new things to hate about it, post venomously on ( Read more... ) -
So then, this is my blog.
This thing has been sitting here empty for a while; I've mostly used it to opine, as well as to participate in Wolfgang Baur's custom adventure projects ( Read more... )
