To be fair, that’s not totally unique to POD books. The worst binding I ever got on a book was my release-day copy of the 5E (2014) Player’s Handbook—it literally fell apart within 4 weeks, huge chunks falling out. This problem was fairly widespread in that particular print run, there are lots...

Great username, especially for a 15 year old account. Based on your post count though, it might not be completely accurate!

I appreciate this comment! Adds some context from before I started buying stuff, and lot of background I didn’t know. Thanks!

You’re not wrong, this story didn’t unfold overnight. The most recent political/trade war phase is definitely a big escalation, but it’s just a new chapter not a new book (yet). Five years ago was the “pandemic supply-chain crisis” era, which was another stressful period that made Canada start...

Canada has spent decades economically integrating with the USA, but the past few years have obviously caused Canada (and many other countries) to reevaluate a lot of industries from a strategic lens, even if it means higher costs. There’s value in stability. The old ways arent likely to return...

USA keeps talking about tariffing Canada, which provides something like 70-80% of the USA’s paper. I wonder if there’s a connection… 🤔

I recall that too but am equally unsure. But also it’s somewhat gratifying to realize that even pros in this sphere sometimes lose track. I lost it a long while ago.

Is Erin Roberts an A5E contributor too, like the other recent hires??

Favorite cartographer, love his work

I saw Goodman Games new crowdfunding project. My biggest reason for choosing not to support them is my strong dis-incentive to support any American companies lately. I’m Canadian, I spent a lot less of my disposable income on American goods this year, mainly due to the USA’s threats to annex my...

I wouldn’t go so far as to say “system neutral” but there’s a buttload of fluff and lots of detail around it. Next time you’re at your FLGS, flip through any of the Lost Omens books for Pathfinder, you’ll get a good sense of what to expect. Pathfinder is a pretty crunchy system, so even their...

Okay, don’t play it then if you find it boring.

Is a leaf a branch?

Impossible Magic is gonna be very cool, it’s probably the biggest thing that still needed updating for Remastered 2E.

For what it’s worth, I like your count and the logic behind it, it makes a lot of sense to me. One of the reasons I like it: you excluded 4E Essentials. I was a fan of that line, and I maintain that it was a content expansion for 4E not a new edition.
