    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    The most baffling thing about this is that attaching the T&T name is unlikely to have much cachet with any potential young, new fans, and drastically changing the rules isn't likely to attract long-time players of a game that's been backwards compatible for 50 years. I just don't understand...

    Agree. I actually like Over the Edge 3e more than I liked 2e (which was a lot). Still, I'm not really feeling this one. Yet. Time will tell.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    I'd love to see what you came up with, is it for sale anywhere? I'm definitely in the "this is T&T in name only" camp. I respect the designers, and I hope this works out for them. Hope they sell a million. It isn't T&T, to me. I know I sound like a crusty old grog and I hate that, but it is...

    The beta of this has been released, and is in the hands of people who signed up.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    At the risk of sounding like a joyless old grog, I'm with @BigJackBrass on this one. i may be in the minority in liking the Trollworld setting as well, though it was largely implied before Edition 5.5, and wasn't made explicit until Deluxe (unless you count Japanese editions, lol). I know the...

    So was Hackmaster, but people still loved it. T&T was more than a D&D knockoff, it took an entirely different approach to RPG design in many respects. It was an innovator.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    I've seen at least one poster elsewhere claim that Goodman is being "bullied" by people who would rather go after a small target than the "real evils". My brother in Christ, the Bledsaws are Holocaust deniers, if that's not a "real evil" to you, I don't think you and I are living in the same...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Given that Goodman said in one of his earlier statements that they could have abandoned the project, I'm guessing they did have an exit clause, or that the agreement was structured in such a way that they didn't need one.

    Yeah, Goodman's compromise isn't enough anymore. No way I'm backing this.

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

    New statement from Bledsaw, and I'm back in the "no buy" camp. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16cqoPwwf6/

    Zweihander Reforged Is Out In PDF On Drivethrurpg

    I dunno. I only hopped on the Zweihander train at Revised. Though I'd expect him to continue doing it, based solely on my observations. Guess I can't say for sure, though?

    Zweihander Reforged Is Out In PDF On Drivethrurpg

    I don't think so, at this point. I know the author is pretty big on running sales, and/or giving his book away here and there. I'd say, keep an eye out, and be patient, you'll find it discounted (and possibly free!) sooner than later, if you just wanna peep the changes. Edit: I forgot, there is...

    Zweihander Reforged Is Out In PDF On Drivethrurpg

    I could kiss you. Zweihander is basically one man's attempt, during the dark times of WFRP 3e (which I like, but let's face it, wasn't well received at the time), to create a retro-clone (albeit with many house rules and tweaks baked in) of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition. Speaking of...

    In this thread, yes, but you used these words to describe this book here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/zweih%C3%84nder-reforged-talking-with-daniel-d-fox-world-of-game-design.702694/post-9660967 And here...
