Any guidance for me as I will be thinking about doing a weblog like this?

I didnt realize skr worked on that stuff but then again i didnt really look to see who made iut just checked through it to see if it would be cool and fun. I like his style. keep up the good work and mad props for actually listening to us little people who just so happen to be playing your games lol. mmfwcl woop woop. Oh and Pathfinder is the shiznit except the half orc and half elf changes in stat bonuses.

Many years ago .. a long time ago .. I was a designer on TSR games. I worked for Westwood Studios on their Gold Box product.

I read the interview with SKR and it troubles me.

I don’t know what I would call WoW or neoD&D – but they’re not RPG’s. I mean it’s great stuff .. probably better than what I worked on .. but it’s not .. how do I put this?

At 18 years old, I was trying to get Steve Jackson to purchase my RPG concept. I was developing this game with a guy, who carried with him a filled German beer stein, he called the “Balrog” and another guy who had Tourettes and had to carry a picture of the singer, Blondie with him at all times.

This was authentic, smelly, gunge RPG. This was Boris Vallejo poster, Spencer’s black light, Chuck Norris crotch-stretch-karate-pants, RPG.

What you guys got now is too pretty – too play balanced – too spell checked to be true RPG.

Just some thoughts from a grumpy old designer. Now get off my lawn!

V, M, you know you can always ask me miniatures questions on my boards. This probably isn’t the best place to get into a lengthy discussion about mini- and manuscript-surgery.

Without Ghostwalk, Savage Species, and Savage Progressions, D&D wouldn’t be half as much fun as it is (at least for me and my group).

Thanks, Sean!

I agree with Bill, it would be interesting to hear details on this area, specially in the case of adventures… I am not that good painting… nor can I find them close to home :S

Hey guys, perhaps the debate about issues other than the article would go better via private email? Please?

Sean, I’m really intrigued about your points regarding miniatures. Well yeah, on Golarion too, but I’d love to hear some of your tips on point #3 for both!
