    Here are some more things that publishers sent me emails about. Currently either Pay What You Want or Free. Enjoy :) Altais https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/221667/Altais-Age-of-Ruin ERA https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/118877/ERA-Epic-Storytelling-Game?manufacturers_id=2533 Exodus...

    There's A Tales From The Loop Boxed Starter Set Coming

    "...five regenerated characters ..." Normally I'd think that was a typo of "pregenerated", but considering the source, I'm not going to bet on it.

    D&D 3E/3.5 D&D 3E Design: The Unbalanced Cleric

    I've been in plenty of games with Barbarian PCs. I've never seen one attack the party due to a berserker rage. Someone stealing something from them, sure, but not a rage. As to clerics, their religion is supposed to moderate their actions. I think I've seen 2 campaigns where the GMs even...

    Sketch #1: Polearm Shop

    I heard a couple of things that don't usually fall into the "polearms" category. But it is probably the most varied and confusing category, even for scholars I've been told.

    WOIN Monty Python’s killer rabbit

    In comparison to the one in Monty Python, yes, it's way beyond that ones ability. It also doesn't seem to have the usual vulnerability to Holy and to Explosions. Still, it's not a requirement to try and duplicate the inspiration source exactly ;) Back in the 80s, the club had a video jukebox...

    Shadowrun Sixth World Core Rulebook Released - Pre-Orders for Print Open

    Nope. Back in the late 80s, 1st Printing, 1st Edition, FASA. We ordered it in the shops Preorders for new products coming out soon. A lot of gamers around here thought the idea of mixing magic with sci-fi, especially cyberpunk, was strange. I'm one of those old schoolers that remember back when...

    Shadowrun Sixth World Core Rulebook Released - Pre-Orders for Print Open

    Abstruse, No, it was the launch week, so it couldn't be the 2nd printing, unless the first shipment had two different printings in it. The color plates were kind of in the middle, and they weren't part of the page number sequence. I don't remember if they were even listed in the Table of...

    Shadowrun Sixth World Core Rulebook Released - Pre-Orders for Print Open

    I think I want it. Loved the 1st edition. Played so much my book fell apart. Literally. First the spine came off, then the bindings wore out and broke then pages started falling out. Unfortunately it got lost in a move. The way I normally take care of books, people were often shocked. Most of...

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    I was actually thinking the cluttered page filled with tons of boxes that seem rather arcane (and not in a magical way) will just spook a lot of potential players. Heck, I'm already a Pathfinder player, and that page looks rather intimidating in a bad way as it is now. It looks like just too...

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    Ummm.... I suspect that character sheet alone will scare people away from the game.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Demigods, TaleSpire, BESM 4e, An Occurrence at Howling Crater, and more

    Good points. As to the use of old PDFs as stretch goals or rewards isn't uncommon. Pinnacle Entertainment Group (peginc.com) did a kickstarter earlier this year for a new version of Savage Worlds. I don't consider them a small games publisher, though they aren't the size of what I suspect...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Demigods, TaleSpire, BESM 4e, An Occurrence at Howling Crater, and more

    A guy tanks a company just once leaving people unpaid and the internet won't let them forget it, or let them trade on their credit. Basically yes. Their credit is bad until they've done a LOT to prove otherwise. I don't think Mark is anywhere reaching the level where he can be given the...

    News Digest: E3 News for Cyberpunk, Paranoia, and Baldur's Gate, Stargate RPG Announced, Free RPG Da

    Representation: We've seen almost nothing of the game, and that's just something in the background people are spazzing about. People do this now: Ok, and it's disliked. But you aren't supposed to like the cyberpunk corps, so why would anyone expect them to be any different, they should be...

    News Digest: E3 News for Cyberpunk, Paranoia, and Baldur's Gate, Stargate RPG Announced, Free RPG Da

    It's almost funny that people are complaining about an advertisement seen in a cyberpunk setting. Cyberpunk is pretty much a corporate dystopia. The world is screwed, and corporations are more powerful than governments. Their ads are barely regulated if at all, and they don't give a rodents...

    Quickstarting: On Your Mark, Get Set, Fund!

    Pretty much the same for me. I often don't even find out about them until the 3rd or 4th week. Of course there is the issue of finances. The more expensive it is, the longer runup time I need to get some funds cleared up. Also, ending just before the beginning of the month also makes that...

    Traveller 5th Edition Reprint Is Kickstarting

    I don't want to say bad things about T5, but I do feel people should have an idea of what they are probably jumping into. A friend and I have looked at some of the T5 files. We both agree that it's more than we want to deal with. It has complex tables and mathematical formulas scattered...

    The Washington Post Weighs In On D&D!

    I saw a video of a group playing an RPG with masks. They all wore masks to represent their characters. To talk OOC they had to take the mask off. There were various kinds of masks, and only some were full face. Actually seemed like a rather fun gaming prop that could help with...

    Stranger Things and D&D at Last: A Review

    That doesn't prevent you from trying. Nothing is stopping you from trying. It's just that you won't succeed. Some players just don't seem to understand that even in fantasy worlds, there are limits. Like using a normal steel weapon to attack a monster that's immune to damage that's not...

    Who Killed the Megaverse?

    Just a bit of silly trivia. Howard and Lovecraft were apparently friends, and Howard even wrote to Lovecraft asking if he could set Conan in Lovecrafts world. So all that talk of old ones and horrible things man was not meant to know in the Conan novels, really are references to the creations...

    Here Are The Most Popular D&D Feats (War Caster Leads The Pack!)

    With the clear favor given to Warcaster it seems likely that one of two things are happening. Either it is a very powerful and desirable feat. Or else it mitigates a very strong deficit in those characters. (Possibly even both.) I won't state my opinion on which as I'm more interested in...
