Wow. I'm impressed the Battletech PC banner is beating out the tabletop as the face of the game. Edit: Misunderstood the post - I thought there was TT in the humble bundle.

I'm not sure they had to do anything for layout - they're identical down to the page count, just 2/3 the size (and weight!). I wonder if its a way to help reduce backlash against a hard stop to 1E material? Keep them available in PDF and a lower-cost softcover?

Ah yes. Rules light, which is why the book is the size of the pathfinder core book... Really, I don't think the book does well at selling people on the setting or the system.

I think a lot of people are missing that buying the softcover (or the hardcover, for that matter!) are actually cheaper than downloading and printing the playtest PDFs yourself.

Its also about tone - Wakanda was presented as a real and relatable and ALIVE. Chult is a place of horrible, withering death with african-ish names slapped on everything.

Wow. I had just finished Dinosaur Lords, too.

I think its a signal of a change thats already in motion - people are looking at funding and capital differently than we used to. The big question is how does a big commercial success like this affect game stores? How many see actual value in a product that may have already hit market...

DO most employers do a background check? Could that simply push venues to hired judges since they would basically come 'pre-vetted?'

Zendikar Innistrad - Includes conversion tips for "Curse of Strahd" Kaladesh Amonket Ixalan + "X Marks the Spot" an Ixalan - themed adventure

Didn't someone's RPG supplement literally blow up a few months ago over using native american myth with the same flexibility we use with European myth? Thunder Plains or something? Or am I misunderstanding the problem with that supplement? I never actually used the system or got the book(s) in...

As an owner of the basic rules, heres a couple tidbits: - The engineer is a re-skinned cleric, with their divine channeling replaced by an EMP pulse that can Destroy Robots, or be used to power other effects based on your specialty. - Specialists and Warriors are Rogues and Fighters...

I'm actually fine if they have a little overlap between "Fighter who is a X" and "Class X". Go on and give battlemasters the full class treatment in a later edition- or even dip into those prestige class rules! Make it a 15 level class you take *instead* of continuing as a fighter. Want the guy...

As much as I like the idea of the superiority die mechanic, I don't think 5E has enough spare design space in a subclass to really make it shine.

I'll admit I thought the gencon book was the full release, but i also thought it was just a bunch of conversion rules. Thanks to picking up that preview edition, I actually look forward to the system enough that i ordered the whole core set- which is exactly what its meant to do.

If you're talking about the restrictions in online sales, that is almost the opposite of GW. There is a growing push amongst companies to restrict online sales to better favor Brick & Mortar game shops, rather than these weird Amazon retailers who seem to push tons of discount product.
