    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    Obviously, you should order the Elf sourcebook. :)

    Sword World to Get Official English Translation

    Alacrast was the setting in SW1.0. It has since been replaced in SW2.0 and 2.5. SW2.5 is a solid and flexible fantasy RPG. I would play it over the likes of 5e, Daggerheart and other modern D&D fantasy equivalents. It won't cover Alacrast as said, as SW2.5 has its own setting, which is also...

    There's A New Edition Of The Cypher System Coming

    The fact that one book is called Character Rulebook and the other the GM's Guide bothers me more than it should :D It feels like changing from past to present tense midsentence. I prefer Player and GM or Character and Setting.

    Sword World to Get Official English Translation

    Despite seeming similarities, they are actually two different systems. Goblinslayer was heavily inspired by Sword World, as most Japanese RPGs are.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    Who would think that Hobbits could challenge Mordor, destroy the One Ring, and become captains of Gondor and Rohan? :cool:

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    Starter Sets are usually loss leading products for exactly that reason. This has been the case with The One Ring for 10 years now. The 5e adaptation is pretty significant and well thought out (though I find The One Ring to be my preferred version), so maybe they didn't want to make it seem like...

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    They are the same in terms of adventure structure, though the stats for NPCs and rules for combat are the 5e versions.

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    The 5e version is a significant adaptation of the D&D5e system. I am not sure what you mean by dialing up combat though.

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    That’s not what I said though. I was only comparing them to classes in that you can stick with them and advance rather than having to career hop like in 1e and 2e, which was the what the poster who I quoted said they didn’t like. You don’t seem to disagree with that statement, and are instead...

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    Like classes, careers in OW are designed so you can stay in them and advance, rather than having to go through the career paths of 1e and 2e.

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    Not sure what you are disagreeing with as nothing in post appears to be addressing what I was saying in mine. Perhaps you were thinking of another post and responded to mine by accident or simply reading something in that’s not there.

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    I love WFRP1e but the move to a D10 for damage did fix the naked dwarf syndrome, so that was an improvement. The answer is that GW want people to buy new minis for Old World rather than reuse WFB ones. So the Old World has a number of traditional WFB factions removed including Skaven. The OW...

    Adventure Time TTRPG Drops "Yes And" System, Switches To 5E

    The Yes And version dropping anytime soon, huh? 🤣

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    That's good info. I note that it does seem to try and distinguish the ruling on the basis that only the books were being imported and no related paraphernalia. I can see a number of KS fulfillments currently on ships struggling to make the same argument.
