Yeah, I am not going to run this until a while after it is released. For the Beta, I just play around with it to familiarize myself with the campaign content and the new system controls. But I want the bugs ironed out and for it to be mature before I use it to run as my main campaign. I've just...

For the D&D version of Ember, you are looking at about 3.5 GB storage. But I would estimate 4 GB as the world and assets will grow as you play. Also, the final, released game will take even more storage. So my numbers are based on the beta game as it is now, with a "fresh" world. You could...

Year 2. Book 3 completed. (My WFRP 4e The Enemy Within Campaign)

Well, I'm add the point where I have a good number of books in queue and many more in the wish lists. Thanks for the continued recommendations.

Huh. I checked out He Who Fights Monsters and wasn't charged a credit. Perhaps they are giving the first one away free, hoping you'll get hooked on the series? Anyway, I've put it in my library.

Love the Dresden Files books, but have already read them all. I do agree, however, that if I've not read them already, they would be ideal for the audio-book format. I've only gotten into audio books recently.

My wife and I watched the TV series, but I've never read the books. I'd consider it, but I already know the plot, unless the TV series departs greatly from books' plot. Ah, that's a good idea. I'm a fan of the video games and TV series. I know that that the TV series and game departs from the...

It is a great game. Not that repayable with the same group, but I played as a player and then bought it. Hoping to run it. When I played it was online and it works very well for online play. I think playing it in person would be a great experience with the right group, but it can be difficult...

Thanks all for the recommendations. I ended up getting Locke Lamora and Murderbot. I'll revisit and perhaps check out the other later. I'm a bit burned out on Warhammer 40k books. I've put the Johannes Cabel series and Spinning Silver on my list. Did you read Spinning Silver or listen to a...

So, first someone on EN World (I'm forgetting who) turned me onto The Wandering Inn, like some addiction broker. Despite the number of books in the series I finished them all in a time period that makes me question if I have a problem. I kept seeing Dungeon Crawler Carl being recommended and...

A-ma! How did you find EN World!? Sorry, whenever my mother-in-law visits my Amazon Video algorithm gets retrained and I have to scroll through pages of dumb Korean and Chinese soap operas until I can find my dumb fantasy and sci fi shows.

Start crunchy raw but mix things up over time. I try to run the game rules as written as much as I can, at least until I feel I, and the players, have a solid understanding of them. Inevitably, for crunchy rule sets and long campaigns, I'll start changing to alternative rules, third-party...

Still upset my dad threw away the old TRS-80. I would power it back up every few years and it still worked. But then he went through a big de-clutter project and threw it out. At least I managed to salvage his old slide ruler before he threw it out. I never got around to really learning how to...

If any fellow EN Worlders have backed Ember and have beta access, I would be interested in your thoughts so far. I assume that anyone backing Ember is doing so as a GM who thinks that they may run the game, so I'm not going to comment out spoilers or expect other to. Hopefully the thread title...

Took advantage of the Cubicle7 clearance sale and the books arrived last week. Great deal on the special printings. The Elector Counts was an impulse buy. Have no idea if the card game is any good, but it was on clearance and cheap enough to give it a shot.
