In the pre-4e days Daniel Fox (of Zweihander and general internet annoyance fame) was talking about being in talks with GW about acquiring the WFRP license and a condition of that deal was that they also produce an Age of Sigmar game. So I imagine a fair amount of that output (especially the...

Putting aside the fact that I think the Horus Heresy peaked as a two page write-up in the original Rogue Trader, this is now a cow that requires constant milking. Anyway, any word on what rule system this uses? More Imperium Maledictum or more Wrath & Glory?

My understanding is that that it's not just Arkham (which just released and looks great) but all of those older Lovecraft Country books are going to get updated at some point by Chaosium. But yeah, the mechanics are probably the least important part of the books and the conversion is very...

On the upside, we'll probably get a new movie before 2029 now. Some of these gaps are quite large.

Yeah, fair. It's not "bad" in the way that say, Ravenloft is. It's different and they made some changes that I don't particularly like, but given it's a smaller slipcase release vs 2E's dozen books or whatever that's understandable to an extent. Here is a list of all the notable differences...

This works for me. The longer this lore focus goes on the more likely it is old settings get revisited. Now, the actual quality of the revisits will likely vary considerably and I have no faith they will get it right, personally (see, Ravenloft, Planescape et al). I also have concave interest in...

I'm still shocked they didn't fix this. I know that they dialed up the superheroics for player characters even more, but the way yo-yo healing stands you up without consequence all the time surely couldn't have been intentional originally. But man, they've really just run with it since.

Bro, my FATAL character has the BEST butt circumference. Your game doesn't even have rules for that, I bet.

I like the non-answer to the question about, hey can you provide us some guidance for variations on the humanoid stat blocks. I can only interpret the non-answer as Also, you still can't convince that Hold Person not working on a basic Goblin is a good idea.

I can kind of see where Perkins is coming from here, to an extent. Like, yeah, I guess if I had to say which edition 5e feels most like, I would say 2e. But really, even then, it does not even come close to feeling like it. And yeah, like you, I think the main difference is player expectations...

Yeah. I was mainly asking why buy it on DDB, Foundy and Roll20. Gotta be WotC's favorite customer of all time.

This is like a fractal of crowdfunded zines. We've gone too far. Go back.

Why?

I'm a big fan of Marshal Law so my favorite Ray thing is definitely Underground, but yeah Ray's been doing good stuff for a long time now.

coughs in 2008 collaterized debt obligations Joking aside, to your broader point, there is nuance there. I'm not saying there are no long term-investments made by anybody in late-stage capitalism or whatever. It's just that in the quest for endless growth demanded by shareholders we've sort of...
