How does this book compare to Libris Mortis?

Death by Cliché Hey, some of you guys might already know about this, but, if you don't.... I just stumbled across Bob Defendi's new audio book: "Death by Cliché". It's a novel about us RPGers. It's free to listen to. He's the author of the "Echoes of Heaven" RPG. I did a review of it last...

+1 Because lots of us are going to mine a book for idea anyway and use whatever system we like regardless of what's in the book...if the setting stuff is good enough and there is enough of it in the book.

I was checkin' out the art on the website. It really is good. You said you just lowered the price of the book because of a WOTC announcment? Explain that to me. Does it mean that you're going to update the book to 4e so you're selling the 3e/d20 version cheaper now? The book looks really good...

I'll admit I'm not big on crunch. I usually play bastardized rules (pick and choose stuff from various systems) for games anyway, so all the competition between the various systems doesn't mean a whole lot to me. That being said, what's your favorite stuff....campaigns, adventures etc. from a...

Alright. I just dropped the dime on the Redbrick books. Because they are coming from Lulu, they won't ship for a couple of weeks. Once I get them and have a chance to really look them over I'll post my thoughts. The setting does look really good--lots of stuff you can do with it. I'm excited to...

I've been checkin' this out today. The Earthdawn Player's Compendium and the Earthdawn Gamemaster's Compendium (with some recent updates) are available through RedBrick Limitied via Lulu.com. Both the books are huge--500 pgs. plus and $50 plus each in hardback. And then there's Earthdawn 2nd...

Inspired by the "What is Rifts like" thread, tell me about EarthDawn. I just watched Game Geeks #43 which talks about it. Just wondering who has played EarthDawn and what did you think?

Let me throw something else out--in addition to the obvious computer game benefits. Here it is...brace for it... THE TREND TOWARD LACK OF STORY. RPGs are only fun because they allow a person to enter worlds, scenarios, and stories that aren't available to them in the real word. The quicker...

Thanks. Great link.

The new Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying book is about to come out. I downloaded the demo "Shattered Hope" and I really liked it. They sold 200 Collectors Editions of the book and they sold out in 6 minutes. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to getting this. Here are some links to some pics...

I just spent the last hour checking this out because of your post. I'd never heard of it. Wow. Really unique. Here's a detailed off-site review: http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_6285.html I think I'll order it.

I like it!

This morning I was checking out Ravnica (City of Guilds) stuff on the WOTC site. I was thinking what a cool campaign setting it woud be for regular D&D. A while ago, I was checking out Dreamblade. I remember thinking the same thing: a lot of this stuff would be cool in a D&D or Modern game...
