Forward
 
Throughout
 
2005
 
Ronin
 
Arts
 
mailed
 
out
 
new
 
content
 
to
 
subscribers
 
on
 
an
 
almost
 
daily
 
basis.
 
Between
 
the
 
DM's
 
Idea
 
Pipeline
 
and
 
the
 
Future:
 
Datastream
 
hundreds
 
of 
 
individual
 
game
 
elements
‐‐
from
 
rumors
 
to
 
feats
 
to
 
even
 
starships
‐‐
flooded
 
mailboxes
 
around
 
the
 
world.
 
It
 
was
 
fun
 
.
 
.
 
.
 
but
 
it
 
was
 
a
 
hell
 
of 
 
a
 
lot
 
of 
 
work.
 
2005
 
was
 
a
 
different
 
time
 
for
 
me.
 
My
 
entire
 
purpose
 
was
 
the
 
creation
 
of 
 
new
 
game
 
content
 ‐‐
primarily
 
OGL
‐
based
 
material
‐‐
and
 
I
 
spent
 
every
 
day
 
working
 
on
 
new
 
rules,
 
treasures,
 
extras,
 
and
 
assorted
 
other
 
stuff.
 
During
 
that
 
time
 
one
 
playtester
 
constantly
 
provided
 
Ronin
 
Arts
 
with
 
excellent,
 
reliable
 
feedback.
 
Mark
 
Gedak,
 
without
 
asking
 
for
 
anything
 
in
 
return,
 
was
 
always
 
there
 
to
 
give
 
me
 
his
 
opinions
 
and
 
suggestions
 
and,
 
at
 
times,
 
even
 
contribute
 
a
 
little
 
something
 
(usually
 
monster
 
stats
 
for
 
anything
 
I
 
was
 
working
 
on,
 
since
 
I
 
suck
 
at
 
creating
 
monster
 
stats).
 
These
 
days
 
I
 
still
 
work
 
on
 
games,
 
but
 
instead
 
of 
 
PDF
 
publishing
 
I
 
spend
 
my
 
days
 
working
 
at
 
Steve
 
Jackson
 
Games
 
where
 
I
 
have
 
the
 
title
 
of 
 
"Chief 
 
Operating
 
Officer."
 
What
 
does
 
that
 
mean?
 
Basically,
 
it
 
means
 
I
 
get
 
to
 
manage
 
day
‐
to
‐
day
 
operations
 
and
 
push
 
hard
 
to
 
keep
 
products
 
on
 
schedule,
 
employees
 
happy
 
and
 
productive,
 
and
 
help
 
Steve
 
guide
 
the
 
company
 
through
 
rough
 
economic
 
times.
 
It's
 
a
 
great
 
 job,
 
and
 
a
 
hell
 
of 
 
a
 
lot
 
of 
 
fun,
 
but
 
it's
 
mentally
 
draining
 
and
 
sucks
 
any
 
desire
 
I
 
may
 
have
 
to
 
create
 
new
 
game
 
material
 
during
 
my
 
free
 
time.
 
That's
 
where
 
Mark
 
Gedak
 
enters
 
the
 
picture
 
again.
 
Inspired
 
by
 
the
 
old
 
Ronin
 
Arts
 
subscriptions
 
of 
 
2005,
 
Mark
 
has
 
created
 
the
 
DM's
 
Sketchpad,
 
a
 
free
 
service
 
through
 
which
 
he
 
dumps
 
tons
 
of 
 
material
 
on
 
the
 
world.
 
Reading
 
over
 
this
 
PDF
 
collection
 
brought
 
back
 
a
 
lot
 
of 
 
memories
 
and
 
almost
 
makes
 
me
 
want
 
to
 
start
 
devoting
 
my
 
evenings
 
to
 
writing
 
new
 
OGL
 
material.
 
That's
 
not
 
gonna
 
happen,
 
though,
 
so
 
enjoy
 
Mark's
 
work.
 
I
 
know
 
I
 
do.

Secret
 
agents
 
prevail
 
not
 
only
 
through
 
superior
 
skill,
 
but
 
with
 
what
 
at
 
times
 
appears
 
to
 
be
 
nothing
 
more
 
than
 
charm
 
and
 
grace.
 
Whether
 
gambling
 
in
 
Monte
 
Carlo
 
or
 
cobbling
 
together
 
a
 
short
‐
wave
 
receiver,
 
it’s
 
almost
 
as
 
if 
 
their
 
poise
 
and
 
aplomb
 
is
 
all
 
they
 
require
 
to
 
bend
 
events
 
in
 
their
 
favor.

another
 
person,
 
or
 
a
 
Tumble
 
check
 
to
 
move
 
past
 
or
 
through
 
opponents
 
without
 
provoking
 
an
 
attack
 
of 
 
opportunity,
 
you
 
may
 
use
 
your
 
Bluff 
 
skill
 
instead.
 
FLASH
 
THE
 
BADGE
 
You
 
know
 
that
 
the
 
best
 
cons
 
depend
 
on
 
how
 
you
 
carry
 
yourself

the
 
ability
 
to
 
draw
 
someone’s
 
attention

the
 
right
 
place.

of 
 
your
 
number
 
of 
 
skill

HIGH
 
ROLLER
 
For
 
you
 
gambling
 
is
 
a
 
test
 
of 
 
personality
 
more
 
than
 
a
 
game
 
of 
 
luck.
 
Your
 
bearing,
 
expressions
 
and
 
manner
 
do
 
as
 
much
 
to
 
affect
 
the
 
outcome
 
as
 
the
 
cards.

to
 
their

IT
 
 A
 
WHACK 
 
Machines
