[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 9042453, member: 6921294"] Looks like the physical book isnt available yet, only pre-order, at least on their website. But you can get the .pdf now if you pre-order the hard copy for an extra $5. That seems like a good deal. But I havent made a final decision whether to buy into this system or not. Expanse and Cthulhu and Blue Rose dont appeal to me. [URL unfurl="true"]https://greenroninstore.com/collections/frontpage/products/fantasy-age-core-rulebook[/URL] I had some extra money last month so I picked up the rule books and settings for ModernAGE and browsed Threefold a bit. I dont think I'll run this as the primary setting for my game. leaning towards Lazarus unless I just make my own setting. It does seem like a strange premise for a modern setting. At that point I'd just adapt for a fantasy RPG most likely. But it may be fun to mine parts of it for an adventure or two. I disagree.
