Pay What You Want

There's a great little initiative that has been implemented on RPGNow, and I've just jumped on the bandwagon with a few products.

It's called "Pay What You Want", and it allows a customer to determine their own level of pricing for a product. If they want it free, they can set the price to zero...if they think's it great and want to support the author, they can offer a few dollars (or more).

I think this is great, especially in a world of PDF publishing, where someone could download a product then put it up on a torrent site (stripping out any protection data if they had the right skill set, or just a decent printer and scanner).

I've started by implementing this concept on the core rule sets for FUBAR, and the "Games for Goblins" booklet. I've been giving these games away for free anyway, but it would be nice to see if people think they're worth a bit of money.

We'll see how this initiative works over the next couple of months, and I'll report back my findings at the end of the year.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
