They also seem to go on sale at least once a year, at a pretty fair discount. Makes up for the high price of the PDF versions.

Mark Galeotti's Gran Meccanismo: Clockpunk Roleplaying in Da Vinci's Florence is fabulous. It was due out years ago for the Wordplay system, and happily when it appeared from Osprey the only change in that regard was using the updated version of the rules, now known as Tripod. A terrific and...

The squares / hexes debate reminded me of Steve Jackson's development of GURPS. In Space Gamer issue 75 he wrote an update on how it had been going, including this: Several things got thrown out entirely. For instance, I had really wanted to use a square-based movement system... but after a...

It's been out in PDF for a little while and they've done a collected edition of the Modern AGE adventures, but resources do seem a little stretched across all of the AGE lines.

As far as I can tell from the reports and writeups, the Rebellion game has nothing to do with T&T except the name. Stats are different. Mechanics are different. That's 95% of what T&T is, so there's not a lot left to identify it as the same game.

Yup. It's on Chaosium' website for $20, which puts it outside of being a casual PDF purchase for me. I already have the previous edition, so not feeling a rush to update but I'll probably get it eventually. Edited to add: It's huge! Looked at the preview and the ToC shows that it's over 330...

Don't worry, it's only ten years away! 😉

Either standard Grey Ghost Fudge dice (if I'm playing Fudge, obviously), or else Gamescience dice. They're clear and readable, roll well and stop quickly. Still no sign of wear after several decades of play.

Coming up to ten years now for Legacy, Kevin Rolfe's adventure collection for Squadron UK. I pulled out of this one before it closed, but a friend didn't. The most annoying part is that it was due to include The Lancelot Caper, Marcus L. Rowland's legendary unpublished Golden Heroes adventure...

Sorry, I don't. I follow a couple of Threads accounts from Mastodon, but I don't know any of the technical details.
