XP cost is something I base on size. To be frank, I've never had PCs design magic items for a mech, so I haven't got a hard-and-fast rule on it. My preference is to assume that every increase of size doubles the amount of XP required, but that multiple builders can use the Combine Spell feat to joi...

I have the box in my hands, and it's...heavy!

Okay, now that the issue with awakened mechs has been mostly resolved, can anyone tell me about the extender? It gives no time for it to work in Steam Warriors, but the folder in the core book says that a folder takes 1d6 rounds to fold or unfold an object. The extender isn't quite the opposite of ...

Makes sense. The only quibble I have with that is over the "forward arc" part, since 3.5 doesn't have facing rules. It's assumed that anything in combat is turning and twisting, keeping all opponents in sight. I agree that it may not be good at firing weapons, though. I think that I'll us...

Yeah, I was quite taken with the pipe-smoking tortog as well. I only had about 5 minutes to page through it, but that one stood out. Probably because it's in my chapter. :) The coolest thing to me about writing this stuff is seeing what the artists do with my words. The squoli is even more menacing-...

4. Does refurbish allow characters with access to that spell to maintain steam powers? See quotes from spell in the above post. The spell says you can target a steam power, so I think you could use it to maintain a steam power. I don't think that's really all that powerful...if I had it prepared, I...

I'll try to tackle some of these, but read this disclaimer: none of these things you have questions about are things I wrote, so my opinion doesn't really hold any more weight than yours, and furthermore the only book I have handy to reference at the moment is Steam Warriors. 1. Do mech symbiotes wi...

I finally saw it in a store today, and it looks darn fine. I was quite impressed with a lot of the artwork.

In the description of the Steam Jack feat (Steam Warriors, pg. 16-17), it says "Each day you are in a gear forest, you do not need to maintain your steam powers." Does this mean that a coglayer with that feat can maintain an infinite number of steam powers, because he doesn't actually nee...

Hey Ben...I think a friend of mine has you covered. I put him in touch with Joseph so hopefully they'll get it all figured out.

Put the table in a [ code ] tag: http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/faq ... e=bbcode#5

All formatting used on text within the code tag remains, so you can create tables and such with tabs.

Is it actually out yet? It hasn't hit the B&N warehouses.

phpBB 2.0.13 doesn't have visual confirmation option. Need at least version 2.0.15 for that, I believe.

The fact that Keith treated me well helped as well. Yeah, Keith is a super-friendly nice guy. But I still don't care much for Eberron. :) It just feels like Forgotten Realms with some new paint on it to me. I miss the old D&D settings that truly had some uniqueness to them, like Ravenloft, Spel...

We were just talking about an Etherscope comic in one of the other threads...the one about Etherscope TV, I think.

About Constantine I'm in a similar, but different-colored, boat. I really liked that movie, much to my surprise. Made me want to check out the comics. Definitely do that. I'd recommend starting with the Dangerous Habits collection, which the movie was VERY loosely based on, and any of the ones Warr...

Have you considered approaching an art school? Professor/teachers might be willing to give credit to a student who would take up such a task. And while the pay may not be great, it would be good exposure for a young talent. The biggest problem would be finding someone who is dependable. Good ideas....

While a tv series may be waiting in the wings, a comic would be possible now. You have plenty of backstory and access to writing/artistic talent. Perhaps, a webcomic published a page at a time - 2 or 3 times a week? also, as a writer, I believe the writer is required to describe the frames and layo...

Ooh, good call.

Yeah, that'd be me.

Yay Ken! Glad someone's available to represent DragonMech.

Just out of curiousity, who is running the DragonMech game?

How come so few players play this way? It's like since they invented ELs and CRs everyone is convinced that every encounter is going to be balanced to their level. So true. I specifically told the last group I ran for that I would sometimes put them in situations where they'd be up against things T...

Joseph, have you considered using poetry as a marketing tool like these fine spammers do? I think it'd be a great idea... DCC Haiku: Underground again ?! Well, let's kill the NPCs. Uh-oh, big dragon! Dragonmech Haiku: Lunar rain sucks lots, but city-mechs protect folk. Steamborgs are badass. Ethersc...

An Etherscope TV show would be rather cool, though. Especially if done by the Dr Who folks.

Preview is posted.
