Goodman Games

Right now the poster map from Isle of the Sea Drake is my wallpaper ('cause, you know, I got it a little early).

Still in love with this idea. I'm kinda a wallpaper junkie.

I like it when I hear people say that 4E characters are unkillable. My first experience with 4E was the Dungeon Delve at D&DXP.

Stroh, Doyle, two or three other dudes, and myself were TPK'ed in room two.

Makes me smile.

Cool. Pat on the back to all the hardworking folks at GG.

Heh. The tournament authors and I thank you.

And I've got much love for the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, particularly the Mouser. That's exactly the kind of character I like to play in a game.

Hybban has the right of it (as well he should since he's our newest Tournament Judge!)... Skill ranks max out at [character level +3] Then you add in ability modifiers, feats like Skill Focus or Alertness, racial modifiers, and whatever else you've got to get the total skill modifier , which pretty ...

GnomeBoy has the right of it. Those are total skill modifiers, not just ranks. That said, it looks like they might be a little off in the skill point department. Err...sorry. :oops: They look like pretty small mistakes, so you could still just run them "as is." It doesn't look like anythin...

I've been playing a modified FUDGE sci-fi game for a while.

It's...refreshingly simple.

Been doing a chunk of writing lately, and the soundtrack to the PS2 game God of War has been some pretty pulse-pounding background music and quality voice acting. "I have taught you many ways to kill a mortal, Kratos. Flesh that burns. Bones that break. But to break a man's spirit is to truly d...

I liked what I've seen for Pathfinder...most of the changes are welcome and well-done.

Love, love, LOVE that hydra!

Or am I truly the only Goodman freelancer that lives on the left coast?

Looks around. Thinks about it for a minute.

"Hunh."

What I like most about 3.5 is... ...transparency. The system makes sense. I can see the nuts and bolts of it, the underlying mechanics. I can consistently replicate the results (like, say, adding 4 HD to an aberration or 4 wizard levels to a goblin). Also love the NPC classes, also love (love-love-l...

Sweet! I've still got my copy in my Cool Stuff folder.

Im not so sure about the artwork for the new DCCs. Well, like Joseph said in the linked interview above, you have to differentiate the 3.5 modules from the 4E modules in appearance, and this clearly accomplishes that. If you're on the edge of getting one or not, my advice would be to check the auth...

Papa-DRB...I somehow missed this post entirely... Without giving away the story line, does someone have such a paragraph and what classes might be best for Castle Whiterock (DCC #51)? CW is very much a "food groups" dungeon...I'll give you more than a paragraph, though... Rogues: there are...

how many of these things do you guys have written??!!

Look us up at Gen Con and I'll tell you!

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Academy, I'd like to thank...hey, wait a minute! I didn't write Forges of the Mountain King ! That was another author - someone with far more cred than me...looks like the image got switched around a bit. Although...if you look a bit to the right of Forges ...see that? Th...

Is there any way to meet the other people in my session? Click here and meet the other people in your round! Exactly what are players expected to bring with them? The Player's Pack will give this information when it's posted online. In general you should bring and/or be prepared with: - your own di...

I'll go one step further...I'll start a thread for ad hoc teams.

EDIT: That thread is here.

Excellent. Whizbang Dustyboots can tell you that some of those teams are a hoot to play with. When we get closer to the event, I'll start trying to collate some of the ad hoc teams early, maybe save us all a bit of bother at the event itself.

Hmmm...alright, I'll bite...what are you considering?

Options.

Heh.

I'll merely say that we're deciding between old school, really old school, and avante garde.

Ben, We're still weighing some options about the battlemaps this year. Rest assured that if we go with pre-printed ones, you'll be the first asked to make 'em up for us. given the recent financial troubles of GenCon LLC, will Peter be able to afford your services as hall monitor again this year? Lit...

Some information about this year's tournament: ************* please outline for me exactly how registration for the DCC tournament works? Registration for the DCC tournament is like any other event at Gen Con with one exception: you only register for round 1 because rounds 2 and 3 are qualify-only. ...

Change!

Is nothing safe from it?

Seems to me a guy I know once wrote, "Changes aren't permanent, but change is."

Heh.

Yes, we can, and most iterations of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge are already banned, as are many other words (like tramadol, viagra, etc.). I usually ban them as they come up, but some people might actually use "Horny" in a legit username...guy I know goes by "Horny_Goatweed" on...
