I'm glad I'm not the only one that was befuddled by that art!

I think it'd be hilarious if they kept the "ARTWORK TO BE CONFIRMED" on the Discworld DM screen.

Ironically, my chief complaint about the tabs is that they don't stick well enough! I'll still grab the 2024 version, though. Their utility and convenience is that good.

September 17th, 2024 but if you were at Gen Con you had the chance to buy a copy 😈

Seems to me to be a reaction to criticisms of bio-essentialism inherent in having stat bonuses be baked into race/species. I don't have a copy of the book, so I can't precisely comment on how it's been handled, but knowing WotC it is probably a little ham-fisted. That said, I can appreciate...

I might end up backing WWII B/X, if for no other reason than a WWII B/X hack seems so oddly peculiar to me.

It seems they cribbed the "Hits on 2+" system from Warhammer, which requires rolling a handful of d6's, so I guess I can see why they went that route.

The Edge of the Empire takes place during the galactic civil war, the Mandalorian takes place in the aftermath of the battle of Endor and the Empire's partial collapse. That time period in SW is ripe for expansion. Given that there hasn't been much* produced during the post-Empire era, it makes...

Oh how naïve I was when I thought that Free League's version of LOTR 5e would bring down the price of Cubicle 7's Adventures in Middle Earth on the secondary market. That's a collection of books that will most likely stay incomplete for me.

To that end, I was a big fan of the Star Wars system FFG produced and one of the great tragedies of the FFG Star Wars RPG is that we never got sourcebooks for the sequel trilogy or any of the Disney+ series. Given how popular the Mandalorian was at it's premier, I thought for sure a tie-in...

As someone whose interest in US history lies more during the time of our Civil War, does a game or setting exist that's similar to Colonial Gothic in that time period? (I've tried the Savage Worlds flavor of Deadlands, and didn't care too much for it.) The secret societies and occult against the...

Why make one disappointing gazetteer when you can make seven? Snark aside, they haven't published anything for Greyhawk (in this current edition) and I can't see just their typical "mini-gazetteer in the beginning of the book" being adequate. Dragonlance fans weren't happy with how much War of...

Chapter 8 turns out to be a re-print of the Gygax75 document

They could use "Kin" to replace "race" and still refer to "humankind" or "elfkind". Matter of fact, I think I just stumbled on to how I'll be referring to characters from now on.

I don't see why they wouldn't be somehow compatible. They're both 5e OGL derivatives.
