    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    It's interesting how the 5E version has a different name and different artwork. Most publishers would just keep the same name (The One Ring) and stick a "compatible with 5E" badge at the bottom of the 5E version.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    I was just wondering if the 5E adventures have more combat focus than the TOR version. Or if that's not the case and the 5E adventures are simply a pure conversion - and exploration and combat are exactly the same as the TOR version.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    Is the 5E version a straight conversion of The One Ring (just with different artwork)? Or do they dial up the combat in the 5E conversion?

    D&D General Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford Join Darrington Press

    How is the new game going? Are there many people playing it? I must admit I haven't been following it but I might investigate it now. Surely it can't be too bad if it gets the backing of Perkins/Crawford?

    Would ACKS be a good fit to capture the BECMI-feel?

    That's a fair point. I guess to feel like you're a part of something that is a "contemporary" system that's being supported and updated. And hopefully the new system will be a cleaner more streamlined experience.

    Would ACKS be a good fit to capture the BECMI-feel?

    That would be a bit of a turn off if it were too "spreadsheety". But I guess it would be hard to write a system on domain management without it involving some kind of bookkeeping.

    Would ACKS be a good fit to capture the BECMI-feel?

    Thanks for all the info, folks! What about the short rest/long rest paradigm? Does it have a mechanic like that? And what about healing? Does it implement anything to mitigate magical healing being abused? For example Worlds Without Number has a System Strain mechanic to help with this, I...

    Would ACKS be a good fit to capture the BECMI-feel?

    [I know this is a banned RPG on a couple of sites. I don’t know the full details of why it’s banned but I’m currently investigating to make an informed decision. For the purposes of this thread, though, I’d just like to learn more about the game system. I will do my own research on the...

    General DCC RPG thread

    OK, thanks, guys. Sounds like it's really geared up for heavy-metal, mighty-thewed, sword and sorcery action.

    General DCC RPG thread

    What's a good setting to run DCC in? Would I be correct in saying that it's got a heavy metal sword and sorcery vibe? Some D&D settings I haven't run yet are Mystara and Dark Sun. Would it work with any of those?

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    I wonder if it would help if Goodman Games asked Bledsaw Jnr to come out in the public and: a) disavow the 2020 comments b) promise all moneys to be refunded from previous failed Kickstarter

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Has Bledsaw Jr ever made an attempt to apologise or denounce his 2020 comments? How much of the funds of the unfulfilled 2014 Kickstarter were spent?

    D&D 5E (2024) OAR 10 City State of the Invincible Overlord

    I think the city map needs an update. All the shops are clustered together in tight blocks showing a labyrinth of interior rooms. Reminds me of the city maps in the old SSI computer games. I would like to see the city showing the roof tops like in today’s RPG city maps. Then, if they want to...

    Voidrunner Let’s unbox an actual Voidrunner’s Codex!

    Is there a default setting or is it mainly a toolbox to create your own game? I'd like to learn more about the default setting if there is one.
