I'll chime in to say, that WHILE I am currently running 5e24. I like ToV better across the board for implementations of things like crafting, luck, weapon masteries, RITUALS!; I want to run ToV with 5e24's exhaustion system pretty much. Glad to hear more options forthcoming.

Yeah definitely a good problem...for you ;) ... Thanks for the quick response... I'll poke around in the interim and see if it's up on other markets too. Thanks!

This has likely been addressed SOMEWHERE...but I cannot find it. Loving the game...want to buy the physical book, but it is sold out. Any updates on a reprint, etc? Thanks all! - DC

I think the biggest impediment to d20 players isn't necessarily the "roll low is better" vibe (though I hear that), its the monsters autohit unless you use your single action to defend...ie in lieu of doing something on your turn.

Agreed. This is the way.

Just chiming in to say I really like the idea of grouping classes: Experts, Warriors, etc. See it in a lot in smaller D&D-inspired games...it also reminds me of the halcyon days of AD&D 2E.

As a point of game comparison, TRIVIAL PURSUIT was first released in 1982 --- it became a MEGA hit...eager to be found by many ...it sold 100,000 copies. Now lots of things play into this...new, so underestimated print-run, a board game not a book (game)... (Source: shorturl.at/gryBR)

(Full disclosure: Professor of journalism...so probably OVERTHINKING) He said the same to me on twitter. Just odd to specifically request anonymity over this, plus these types of numbers are hard to know from a publisher of that era, of that sales type...print run sure, but sales # is tricky...

Has he mentioned where he collated this data? I'm not doubting it; I am just curious. And, I likely missed where he did...

Marvel Heroic is exceptional, and my preferred for when people want to play a 'canon' character. Sentinels is exceptional, too. But, man, it is a TRAVESTY (hyperbole alert!!) that no one has mentioned ICONS Assembled by Kenson. Narrative with dice tricks, easy integration of multiple power...

Really well-said. And, I agree, by & large, with the sum of this. I too felt like he took the wrong lessons forward ... at least seemingly. Marvel Heroic, Sentinels Comics RPG, Icons, Masks, & more have succeeded because I think they've done exceptionally well at tapping into the thematic...

I'm kind of torn on this product. On one hand, I love new superhero rpgs...but, this is so...I don't know... 3.5ish. There have been so many fascinating innovations in the super rpg genre over the past 10 years it seems odd to get essentially a version of Mutants & Masterminds with 3d6 instead...

So waaaaait ... Spelljammer unconfirmed? ;)

Agreed, I do not like the idea of "improved/rare versions" doing more damage at a given level...I DO REALLY like the idea of them doing different/cool things... Katrina's Smoldering Fireball only deals 4d6 damage, but does 2d6 ongoing fire damage to each character hit. Spend an action to douse...

Just wanted to chime in on the New User Experience thing (and, apologies in advance if I am repeating something...didn't get a chance to read everything yet). D&D by its virtue and success at being a fan-creating object is always going to struggle with the need to attract new players while...
