How many sessions do you think can done before the systems run out of headroom? Or is that a nonsensical question?

Do we have examples of games built using narrativism that would work for beer and pretzel players? Would Monster of the Week be one?

I do think that creator feelings and expectations is also part of the mix. If you just through a product out there without an expectation that it will be appreciated, then your heart can't be broken even if nobody takes an interest. Both creator investment and a lack of community response are...

I have a hard time seeing an electrum best seller as a heartbreaker. It seems to me a key part of the definition from Edwards and common usage is the devastating lack of interest from the rpg community. I.e it sinks without a trace.

I suspect they just don't do anything other than distribution. They are a chain of game franchise stores.

Buying directly from the publisher usually comes at a huge cost when you are in Australia. I bought physical copies of 3 Sly Flourish books and paid the same again in postage. They weren't available in distribution locally or I would have bought them through my FLGS. I usually prefer to use my...

Treasure generators are more functional if the source materials are already freely available online. :)

I have found the discord, and I 'll have a look at Iron Vault. Thanks for the tips.

I got the impression that intermixing between humans and tanu was how 'modern' humans gained such powers. Very circular in a time travel sort of way that doesn't hold up to close examination.

Doesn't seem to have a character builder. Any idea when that will be available?

I have thought about running it in Karameikos / Traladar. The adventurers start before the arrival of the Duke. They end up chasing a boy called Boris through the forest after he stole a spell book. He runs into red mists and the Palace with the adventurers following. When they finish with the...

Someday I should give wot a go.

Listening to him read an extract at a con was what put me off trying his books. I couldn't stop myself from falling to sleep. Pratchett was at the same con and it was a world of difference.
