it really depends. Chaosium's remasters have been painstaking, incorporating errata and vastly improving readability. i thought Goodman Games did a good job on their oversized Metamorphosis Alpha, too. even some of the TSR PODs on drivethru are really impressive -- whoever did the work on...

the Watchmen Companion has full reprints of both first edition DC Heroes Watchmen adventures, the second edition DCH sourcebook, a reprint of The Question #17 of the O'Neill/Cowan run that had Rorschach in a dream sequence, and some miscellanea.

Falling damage is under Other Combat Rules, on pg 138-139. Surprise is covered under initiative on pg 123, but you're right, there's no consistent method for determining surprise, and DCC doesn't have one either -- probably because it's one of those classic "ask five DMs, get six answers" issues.

I have no doubt that someone out there in TV Land is in the process of transcribing the cards into a form convenient for printing on 3x5 cards, if only for personal use.

Yeah this. It's rendering very poorly for me in OSX's Preview, not as bad in Adobe Reader.

Anyone else have trouble with the PDF being tremendously slow to load?

different squids for different kids. GW was my first rpg after D&D, and I've always been a sucker for the genre.

I would buy the hell out of this, but I'm also on board for Gamma World 7th.

If you're looking for rules and setting details that describe a world of post-holocaust exploration, danger and weirdness, then GW d20 works really well. If you're looking for wacky character types and a laundry list of "mutant" powers, then GW d20 is not what you're looking for. They toned down...

...did you seriously just judge a book by its cover?

Intrigue and swashbuckling genre books are most likely on the way. I'd bet money on it. Heroes of Mystery is also probable, though it could be folded into Intrigue. Space and post-apocalyptic fantasy genre books would be awesome and I'd buy them in a hot second, but they don't seem likely to...

Creating Warforged probably requires a major schema, which aren't detailed in the book -- or explicitly stated as existing, for that matter, but if there are minor schema, I imagine that there are probably major ones too. There aren't a lot of divine options presented in MoE, but no doubt...

You want to know why? Just look at the name: Arcana Evolved. Suddenly, no more brand confusion. That may not be the only reason, but I'm sure it didn't hurt when making the decision to release an AU update. Anyway, a full color 416 page book for $50 is a *bargain*. Sign me up.

Nothing to add other than "me too".

I think the only reason they used the word "medieval" is to emphasize that Eberron is not a setting where you can get +1 flintlocks. Yes there are knighthoods and monarchies in Eberron, but there are knighthoods and monarchies in the 21st century, too. There are obvious parallels to be drawn...
