Yes, why girls only? And why not include Frozen? I see a lot of wasted opportunity here. I'm always looking for children's RPGs by the way, this won't be the perfect one probably, but who knows, I will still have a look once we have more infos.

Even if we don't consider the ethics and legal aspects of this topic, I see a huge quality problem. A lot of the AI art (especially when including people) is simply ugly. I've backed the "The Great Campaign Adventure Book" by Triple Ace Games, and even though they advertised the project as...

One of the reasons I've never gotten into Pathfinder is the artstyle. For some reason I profoundly dislike those covers and character art. It mostly has to do with those strange looking weapons, anime like long-eared elves and the way the goblins look. The GM Core looks much better than I've...

Alternity had two main settings: one was Star*Drive, the other was Dark•Matter. They also had a StarCraft release and there might have been something else as well, but these two were the main ones. Star*Drive was the science-fiction one and Dark Matter the X-Files clone.

We've only seen the quickstart, and there are supposed to be a couple of extra rules in the book, but it should be something like this anyway. The game tries to simulate "stereotypical" action movies. In the beginning the stakes are not high, characters usually don't die, but later, at the end...

Dark Matter was actually an Alternity setting, which they watered down into a D20 Modern Setting. The Alternity version was quite good.

2LM's Outgunned Kickstarter started yesterday, but it's just a quick 16 day project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2lm/outgunned/ "Outgunned is a cinematic action rpg inspired by the classics of the action and heist genre, from Die Hard to True Lies, passing through James Bond, Atomic...

Good that Broken Compass is back in print. It ended up with CMON, who according to rumors intends to release new products for it, but we don't have any details yet. Meanwhile, the original creators (2LM) are about to crowdfund Outgunned, a similar system but for action-movie like stories (think...

Thanks, sounds great, I might take a look at it. Maybe a house rule, where the player character would have two different powers might help with that part, but I'll see once I'm there

Can someone tell me what the player count is? Does it support out of the box, without house rules playing with one GM and one player (one character), or is it meant for a party?

Why would someone who is in part a melee fighter wear glasses? They don't even seem to be sport glasses. If someone has eye problems, there are much better fixes for that even today (which must become even better in the future), and as a design accessory, it would hinder you in combat. If it's...

"Rules for scalable equipment": My main problem with Starfinder was the weapons. I simply cannot accept a setting, where hand-weapons constantly need to get stronger. There are a couple of games, even computer games that do this (Diablo, Cyberpunk), where you constantly need to upgrade or change...

The world never seemed like one where people go on adventures to me. It is a fairly static feudal society, where all the people who have magical swords / armors are in the army of a noble. If I remember correctly, most people are not even allowed to travel. At least in the books I've read, we...

I've only read the first three novels, but I don't think that this world / setting is really good for role playing games. Maybe if it comes with an adventure campaign that is somehow related to the novel's story. A new Mistborn version, maybe extended to Wax and Wayne would be much more interesting.

I was thinking about backing this, but then ducks. It's one of the reasons why I was never interested in RuneQuest.
