Re: Episode 3: A Routine Survey

Driscoll, keeping watch at the door, saw two more of the huge creatures burst from the forest almost simultaneously. As soon as they saw each other, they squared off, and after a series of gargling roars and screams, the smaller creature ducked its head and slunk back into the forest. The remaining ...

Re: AA1 Adventure Anthology One

Hmm. I want the updated AA1 to be written as if the Field Guide and 3rd Edition were in print already; that way, I can update the print version at the same time as I release them.

Re: Backgrounds, Specialties, and Quasi Classes-

The alternative thief advancement in the "Dealing with Players" section of the Core Rules tracks exactly how the advancement in the game works using the normal table. I suggest you make the "alternative" method the default in your rules. You may need to figure out some way to &qu...

Re: Arena prizes and magic weapon prices.

Indeed. Consider: I'm a newbie adventurer who inherited some gold from my dear departed cousin, who was killed by a wraith. I'll pay anything for a sword that can hit incorporeal monsters! I'm a seasoned adventurer, buying a magic sword for my retainer. That makes me price-conscious and choosy; I'm ...

Re: Arena prizes and magic weapon prices.

I guess it depends on your world. In most classic RPG worlds, selling magic items is rare enough that there are just no established prices.

I have a question here... are you actually telling the player what to expect, in advance of it happening? Pricing magic items for sale should, in my...

Re: Arena prizes and magic weapon prices.

I would never, ever discuss with players how I price magic items, and every single exchange would be a one-time deal. There's no Ebay here... the price is whatever the buyer can pay that the seller will accept.

Re: AA1 Adventure Anthology One

JD, you should be a valid Showcase user. If you can't upload things here, you can always put them there. Just tell me here if you do it, and I'll download it from there and put it in its proper place.
