Yeah, for many TRYING and FAILING it sure hurts, too.

Hello, I'm looking for players in Tokyo. I live in the Nerima area and use the Seibu Ikebukuro line. I'm looking to start a CONSISTANT Eberron campaign Saturday afternoons. If interested, please reply.

In a perfect world-

Start every day at noon and game till 2 or 3 in the morning. Interrupt for calls of nature, pizza, smoke breaks, 30 minute swim breaks and prepping for future action.

That was my Golden Summer back in '91. Ahhh, high school...

I'm just smiling to myself. Certainly I've played with evil characters. Evil PLAYERS? Well, my younger brother did try to play once...

To repeat myself from another thread (I apologize for going crazy, I'll put myself down after this), I've sent a few emails over the course of six months proposing some twenty or so ideas. No response. Am I a bad person? Am I on email block?

I hear you. I sent a few emails proposing some 20 or so ideas over the course of six months. No word. I really am starting to think they have me on some kind of email block.

I really like it when the "how to adapt" sidebars are included. If you're in a hurry (or don't have a lot of time to prepare), these sidebars really help out.

Totally agree. The 'How to Adapt' sidebars are great.

Roland,

If you like The Book of Iron Might, you might want to check out Iron Heroes. It improves and expands on the material in BOIM, without making it obsolete. I also posted on another thread (you might have to search the archives) about IH to farwell2kings, so if you want to know more, check that out.

Hello WaterdhavianFlapjack!

I am VERY interested in Iron Heroes but I'm kinda worried about all the work I'd need to do to integrate it into the current system. What I am worried about is having to modify everybody else in the world. 5 PCs are ok, the rest of the world sounds like a lot of work.

I'm originally from Montreal, Canada now (sometimes struggling)living in Japan (Right wing politics and crazy working hours) teaching English to Japanese actresses and corporate bosses. I'm recently married and 32 today. I started playing D and D when I was 11 and have tried other systems, most notable White Wolf's Storyteller System, but I always return to my original gaming love. I started DMing and just took to it and I always thought I could do better than 'the other guy'. I consume fantasy culture (comics, movies, TV) voraciously when I'm not reading the 'serious' stuff from literary cannon (Proust, Dante, Chaucer et al.). I don't play right now, just read and plan campaigns in my head. Honestly, I keep wondering when is the day I leave all this (reading fantasy, writing) behind me but also worrying that if I do, I will know that some greater part of me will have died.

Without rancor, self pity or bitterness but with a sense of happy resignation and wonder for the few inspired and gifted enough to be published, when should an aspiring fantasy writer, both for literary and gaming fantasy, know that he or she will never be published?

Living a fulfilling life, when should an aspiring fantasy writer be able to just acknowledge that in all other spheres of life one is really lucky to be happy, that success in fantasy writing is just not meant to be?

Quite a few years back there were these football commercials were the viewer saw clips from previous football games and they had to 'make the call'.

Maybe, just maybe, it would interest some people to read a short article on how difficult some decisions to make are at Dragon.

For example, you could present different covers (A to whatever) for a month's issue and summarize the strong and weak points of some article suggestions. Then, you could look at the typical aftermath.

I was just wondering... Does it ever happen that Dragon does not reply AT ALL? I sent a batch of ideas, a follow up letter and then waited a few weeks, sent more ideas in and waitied a few more weeks.

Myself also. Not calm at all. It'll be a no, of course. Hmmm, kinda reminds me of my undergrad days (A for you, A for you but a big fat B for you. Keep trying though with all your heart and keep believing in yourself and maybe, gosh darnit, just maybe little snowflake, you, too, could be good).

It is my (maybe mistaken) impression that Dragon DOES encourage the readership to contribute articles. It is also my impression that many of the articles written in each Dragon are written by people on the staff. I guess not many people submit, right? Or are the submissions just really, really poor?

You could always try Bastion Press' book on crittical hits 'Torn Asunder'.
