Since this is my first post on this thread I win

break, over and OUT (meaning end of transmission nothing has to be said back)

[so this thread is done]

<isn't it nice to know all of you will never have to worry about this again, I am a saint for having given this clarity to all your lives, and the lack of heartburn/ache as well. You are all welcome>

What is the intended system for this?

This is simply a wonderful, incredible thing happening. I found it via a Story-Games post, so kudos to the kids, to the organizers, to Paizo for all making this happen.

Wish this WIN had happened back in my HS days.

So awesome

Hmm sounds tasty

That book sounds very interesting

I don't want to give away too much yet, but we've got a couple of surprises in store in that book. Later in September we'll release a list of the classes (base & prestige) that will be in the book.

Upfront admission I worked in editing Arcane Magic

That said, in my 32 some years of gaming, I honestly can say I have never bought a book devoted only to spells, magic items, etc.
Technically I did not buy this one, I worked on it, but it finally has spells and other game support for fantasy gaming I would have been pleased to buy.

I call dibs on working with it :)

I just pre-ordered this. It looks very intriguing, and I'm looking forward to November.

. Great! Hope you are enjoying your Indulgences too!

I am scared to pre-order, I think I will wait till you get it into layout and say it will be up and available in like a week. Sure it might cost more, but been lurking a while on da coast.

Hi Sean

As the editor for the book I can state that many of the spells are bardic oriented. So there should be plenty of use for any arcane spell using class you care to play.

The book however is more support / general in nature, not specifically combat oriented, so keep that in mind if that is the sole intent. For gamers / campaigns in general it is a superb resource.

Of course if that Eldritch Knight is a Sorceror in background adding on any of the new bloodlines will give excellent boosts in combat.

LPJ, are these personal use only or can I modify and use in my own products like the clipart?

Thanks

Looking for some feedback as to the product.

Does anyone know when the second issue will appear?

The date is the mid to late March of 2009 timeframe

Houston I am glad you are getting WD 1. Makes me glad to be a part of it in a support role.
I am glad that Paizo is watching out for you.
Shame about the confusion, but glad it is all fine.

Hello Cleaver

It is not a subscription based yet. You can get the first issue on the Weredragon Site, from here on Paizo, and one other site as well. If you have regular paypal then easy enough is on Weredragon site. If you are more hesitant then here on Paizo is the best option for you.

Any other concerns feel free to email me at advertising@weredragonmag.com which I check daily and I will be happy to assist.

Advertising information for Weredragon Magazine is up and available

We are looking for adventures of any size. One shots, campaigns spanning issues, and everything in between is fine. These are of course for the D20, 3.5 system. Article wise we are looking for new Prestige Classes, monsters, optimizations, reviews of gaming materials; including settings, webites, gamer tools, and the like. We also have a Q&A section called Fatbeard that we need questions for if you aren't in a writing mood. He answers questions about rules problems you may have and gaming problems in general for the d20 system. You can get those to us by going to our boards, under our magazine discussion section. That being said. You can also send us something completely different. If you have a bright idea for something new and interesting by all means send it in. We will look at anything and give it careful consideration.

Well you be taking advertisement from publishers and if so what is the rate?

Hi there Loius,

I am taking over the advertising coordination duties for Weredragon Magazine. I will email you so we can open up the dialogue. Rate sheet and details will be available shortly.

Darkefelle,

Issue One was all 3.5 content
Future issues will have ogl, 3.5, pathfinder content to them as well.

I could use a cartographer for the adventure I am working on for issue 2. I have no drawing nor mapping skills personally.

Hey gang,

I bought this last night and read through most of it. I really like the new magazine and hope to see it in print soon. I left a review on the main product page.

I'm curious about others' thoughts. Any one else try this out? There are a few areas that need improvement but $4 for 100 pages (no ads btw) I think is pretty good. For me it was money well spent.

I think my players will really enjoy the "Temple of the Necromancer". We will all get good use out of the character background article. Oh, and the recipe page was an interesting feature.

Hi Jolly,

Curious what your thoughts are on it.

For all those who may have purchased Issue #1, would it be too much to ask to post a quick review/critique/general feedback on the content?

There are 3 adventures. I have not read them yet.

There are a total of 6 articles and columns. I was involved with 5 of the 6 in some form or another.

Reprinted webcomic that totally rocks.

Some really sweet artwork scattered through it.

I'd like to see them kick out an Issue 0 promo before I heap cash upon it.

I'm not going to buy this without being able to page through it. Release the first half for free, so I can review it for myself.

Pardon me

But that does seem a touch excessive to me
I know there is a free preview posted now

Then again I know we are used to thumbing stuff in the store before we purchase it.
But I don't have that luxury with online items and I am uncertain why you should get half of the work and IP and effort just given to you.

cordially,

So... what levels is it for? Is there a starter town? Can my one PC campaign featuring a bard make use of this adventure? And, most importantly, does it come with puppets? ;)

Well if I finish my adventure for the second issue, Levels 5 - 8 d20 OGL, then a solo bard will have a hard time, but it is possible.

It is a nice little piece of work. Having worked on it I am biased. But for $3.50 you get 3 adventures and it is 100 pages in length.

Page count to price it is dirt cheap and has some awesome artwork to boot.

Personal theme song

Ever since it first started playing on FM radio

"Deacon Blues" Steely Dan
How I wish I could live my life, I try and try

The final version I will even get in hardcover
I would love a txt srd version of even the Beta rules.
The more I dig into the book, the more this is my version that I like the best in many years.

You sound like me, everytime I hear a Largest Movie Release in history. Well yeah, ticket prices are up, more people, etc.

Now if they would convert to population and ticket prices say for the first weekend of Star Wars, how would it stack up?
Thanks roguerouge for your post

Actually, I teach media history, so one of the things that I do in my course is run a "most profitable movie ever" discussion, using constant dollars and percentage return on investment.

Not to derail too badly but thanks for that info. Yes I wonder about the real dollars version everytime I read that Such and Such a Movie is the largest grossing yet.

First thing that comes to mind is how well has The Wizard of Oz fared?

Lastly thanks for responding back to me as well.

A common message from the Thought Police is that 4E is the most successful release in the history of gaming. We don't need no stinkin 3rd party support. I think the lie will be revealed in the long run. Us longtime gamers like diversity, and freedom.

It never ceases to amaze me that people never take into account population growth when they say "Best selling ever!" In 1980, there were 226 million people in the US. Now, there's over 300 million. If you didn't sell more widgits now than in 1980, you have a massive failure on your hands, as you have so many more people to sell to! An identical quality product in a static market should sell 30 percent more units based on that population factor alone. Heck, since 2000, your sales figures should go up 6 percent, even if your sales rate stays the same.

(Yes, yes, there's a time delay involved, as 6 year-olds today are slackers and don't work in factories any more here. But the principle remains valid.)

Best selling ever... and are they even accounting for the annual increase of cost of living and inflation? 1980s dollars are bought much more than today's dollars, even with its recent slide, due to those factors alone.

Just to throw a random monkey wrench into the discussion:

Where are the protests against Mongoose Publishing for their Traveller OGL?

No need to really protest that yet. MGT is actually pretty darn nice. Maintains brand identity via cover, font, etc. Adds some good additions, easy to use like the original.

Or are we talking something else?

Neat about the One Sheet

My question, slightly off topic but this is the closest is, will there be a SRD for Pathfinder RPG?
For my Fantasy d20 interests Pathfinder will be my ruleset of choice from here on and I am curious, as I make a little fan content and occassionally do newsletter like things, is there plans for a SRD like document I can use to change my homebrew setting over fm 3.0 to Pathfinder

Thanks either way in advance. Odds are I will just dump all d20 period the more I read how it is all going.

Well, mine have been updated and put up here and mini brochure style here

Just grabbed Alpha 3 and your booklet sheet style

Time to dig in deep
Thanks
