    D&D 5E Get 300+ Issues of EN5ider For A Dollar!

    I'm a litte confused - above it says, 'for as little as $1/month' but when I follow the link it says, '$1 PER SUPPLEMENT OR ADVENTURE (+VAT)'. Does that mean if there were 5 supplements/adventures, I would pay $5 (+VAT)?

    FFG Star Wars & Other Roleplaying Games Aren't Going Away After All

    Just seen this on Reddit, so panic over?! Reddit user Bartlebad said: "Attended the GAMA Asmodee Keynote an hour ago. The FFG branded role playing games will be transitioning to a new European company over the course of this year. The company is called Edge Entertainment. Old books will still...

    D&D 5E Mythic Odysseys of Theros Now Has a Description (& Pre-orders) [UPDATED]

    This is where my head is at also. But may have already begun the campaign before this is released. Do I push the campaign back and wait or do I just go with the player content already available in Dragonlords?

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    I do get that and know that is how you do your Kickstarters, and I really hope that enough people are willing to put money in up front in order for you to reveal the stretch goals that would make the 'All in X' pledge worth it. I just prefer more transparency up front - you tell me what I am...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    What I am not happy about is the presumption that there will be enough funding to hit stretch goals to justify a higher pledge, when hitting stretch goals needs higher pledges. Why would I back at $160 for something that will only be of value if enough people back to hit an as yet unspecified...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    Not sure what it is like in US, but when I look at what I would have to pay (incl. shipping) now for a Numenera HC in UK from a UK based online retailer, I find that it’s cheaper than had I backed the N2 KS, but that does take into account that I don’t want decks, novels and all the other bits...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    $20 for the Core book on PDF and $60 for Core + stretch goals. So that would suggest that there are least $40 worth of additional content already planned. The problem here is a little chicken and egg - if I knew what the stretch goals were, I may choose the higher pledge, but not revealing...

    Starfinder You Can Now Pre-Order The Starfinder Beginner Box

    Why was this not released prior to the Core Rules? I loved the Pathfinder Beginner Box and actually used to introduce a group of people to RPGs, but other than that it has been redundant because I normally just go straight to the core rules. I am about to start a Starfinder campaign in January...

    It’s LAUNCH DAY For The Pathfinder 2 Playtest!

    I ordered from Games Lore. They say that the Hard Cover Rulebook arrived, but not the adventure. As I ordered both, I am waiting on the latter to arrive before both are shipped. Seems odd that all playtest products didn't arrive together.

    Numenera 2: The Kickstarter Is Live!

    I’m definitely intrigued by the final mystery book. Hope that the reveal isn’t timed too late (noting time difference in UK) for me to give 1 final consideration.

    Numenera 2: The Kickstarter Is Live!

    As the KS approaches the end, I have to say that I have remained disappointed. It could be that my opinion was marred from the start. I didn’t like the presumptuous approach, with offering $120 worth of books for $280 on the basis that stretch goals were obviously going to be met and thus the...

    Numenera 2: The Kickstarter Is Live!

    Noticed that they had their first missed 'milestone' yesterday. They wanted to increase the number of backers and used the (I must admit) interesting concept of the ongoing fiction behind the KS to try and generate the increase. I do wonder if this was a serious attempt to increase the number...

    Numenera 2: The Kickstarter Is Live!

    Latest update reveals Deluxe Core Books. There were 2x $5,000 pledges (limited) and (so far) over 50 pledges for the deluxe option ($500 or $240 as an add-on). However, the number of backers hasn't increased by many and my guess is that people have increased their pledge level. I know this...

    Numenera 2: The Kickstarter Is Live!

    I agree that the pattern (big first day, then a drop) is standard, but this feels different to MCG's previous RPG Kickstarters (Numenera and The Strange). The drop is pledges is still there, but nowhere near as steep. I also looked at backers rather than pledges as the pledge levels are...
