Goodman Games

The current party consists of: The Grozman - a greaser who's surprised when people treat him like a Greaser. Looks like John Travolta from "grease." Drives the car. Acts like a pompous jerk. Straight Duelist focusing on knives. Billy Marlin/William - On the Sulia Central High School swordf...

Huh. Could be.

Maybe it's a French or Creole term, corrupted into English?

Yeah...it has giant cockroaches. I'm gonna have to buy this now.

Darn. That's two books on the Underdark I have to get.

Just a tiny bit of mechanics: Instead of rolling for ability scores, ability scores are purchased with 42 "discretionary character points," or DCP. 1 DCP raises an ability score by 2 points. Leftover DCP can be used to purchase special abilities or a more expensive race. For example, a cha...

Kali the Barracuda, from Friday's Shadowrun game....



She's a wasteland ganger. What do you want?

The Four Magi As there are four elements, there are also four kinds of magi. The four elements are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. However, if one looks at the symbol of the Church of Gaia, there is a fifth element, but its Magi always disappear around the age of sixteen, after first manifesting their ...

Sketches of the Human Countries: Republic of East Arna & Republic of West Arna Arnans are mostly Caucasian in appearance and vary widely in height. They are a bit darker than Arcadians when the two are compared. Their hair color ranges anywhere from blonde to brown to black, though they lack the...

It was few years back I sent a cover letter and proposal to a few places, but none of them wanted to take a chance on a new setting, especially one that was this different from the norm. Now, I've been thinking abut doing it again. I was thinking Magnum Opus, but to tell you the truth, I'm worried a...

The races of Aesca Humans - Humans are just as they are anywhere else. Adaptable, intelligent, and somewhat arrogant. They have two arms, two legs, and vary in color depending upon where they are from. Humans on Aesca come from Lafié, West Arna, East Arna, Arcadia, or the Nazro Desert. Male pop: 48%...

A very brief history of Aesca since the Goddess War: 0 GY - The Church of Gaia sets up its "Magitech Review Board," The Nazro Empire is established in the desert. 21 GY - The first Ley Lines are mapped by Herschel Kermanov. 435-440 GY - The Steam War, which united all of the previous fract...

It's all about the setting I currently run. _______________________ Crystal Legacy 2002 Adam Thaxton Core Ethos Statement Dinosaurs, tommy guns, monsters, mobsters, Cold War paranoia, and magic. The atomic age was never like this. Who are the heroes? The heroes are any number of individuals drawn fr...

Dryowhatsis?

Oh, yeah, those 'r' them thing been eatin' the bugs off muh corn crops....course, they also been eatin' muh corn, so it's a bit reedundent......

w00t! Everything looks good!

I'll have to pick up Monsters of the Boundless Blue - seems like it's right up my alley.

Yes, it is - they also get coverage once a month in Dragon. I think it's being intentionally left generic for DMs to sprinkle their own stuff in. Every book that's come out so far and has no campaign specified is a Greyhawk book, essentially. All the splat books and so on detail all kinds of organiz...

*fishes Joe's 2 cents from the bottom of the fountain* Heh...I've started writing a world guide, and even keeping a "cheat sheet" for what the readers know. My roomate saw it (the world guide) on my computer the other day while I was out and read the whole thing. He's begging me to run a g...

I know what a crawdad is. I cooked 'em before. Family comes from the whole southeast area o' the states. But where the heck did the term come from?

I'm halfway through with my novel - and that's good reason for me to be excited, since I've been told it's good by a couple of already published authors, and one of them isn't even a fantasy writer. The neat part about being halfway through is that I now know where it's trying to go completely. Howe...

New artwork for a friend's campaign setting. The thing that went through my head at the time? "Clive Barker's Wizard of Oz."

Either I'll see you there or I won't. I'm only there for Friday and Saturday, really. Budget constraints say otherwise, it's almost not possible for me to be there at all this year.

Next year, though, hopefully I will have this stupid novel done, so I can get paid.

Yeah. Gotta have bacon. In the case of my setting, it's just fried strips of meat. Another thing - there's no dogs, either. In fact, very few mammals of any kind. I've had to be very careful when mentioning mammals at all. So far, the only one's I've mentioned are cats and monkeys, but the cat refer...

Oh, no. That's great! The questions were kind of stupid, anyway. I was just writing the other day, and got to thinking those things. I'd thought about the meat while I was writing. There's no such thing as bacon, in such a case. I think it may be a strange sort of "in-between" meat. The st...

I got to thinking the other day...about questions that kept plaguing me about the little things.... For example, do dinosaurs have red meat, or are they like birds? Or is it something in between? How far would a dinosaur (a predator) chase someone? Are they really all that tougher than normal animal...

I've been working very hard on machines lately, so I've put out some ideas for the "Seraphim" mecha series from my writing. The tail fin opens up and the wings unfold into giant feathery-looking flapping wings. The idea seems sound to me, I just can't draw it any better. http://www.nazro.n...

Yo, who's showing at Dragoncon, that is, besides me?

Yay! BESM d20 is out! It's got all kinds of neat things. The power level is a little higher than most d20 games, but everything is laid out and is mad customizable. But then, it's mostly pretty balanced with itself. Everything is utterly modular. It integrates some d20 Modern stuff, mostly feats and...
