And even that would be a bit misleading, since the actual box only became white in 1975. :)

"previous"? Or maybe "grievious"?

You were two years ahead of me in age and a universe ahead of me in publishing credits then. :) I'll see if I can find it. A lot of entropy has accumulated over the years. But I'll dive into the darkest corners and see what I can find.

That explains why the enclosed letter I got with my D&D set was signed by Rob Kuntz. I imagine there wasn't a whole lot of D&D being sent to Sweden in the fall of '74. I hope that it wasn't too inconvenient for you Rob and that the extra $10 I sent covered the shipping. Or maybe I still owe you...

Oh I see, it's one of those cheap IKEA traps. :D I suppose it makes sense then. Thanks, Ryan.

I appreciate that it's been quite a while, Ryan. But any wisdom you can dig up would be helpful. Maybe I'm just being dense, but I don't see how that last option solves anything. The kid presses the buttons in the wrong order and gets poisoned. Then what? The door is still locked, right?

I just realised that you are one of the persons responsible for that 5e version. Well done! While I don't play 5e myself, the product feels much closer to the original 3e version. Which is a good thing. You are quite correct that Larions ignorance of Peppin's death by Shahalesti could be...

I'm mostly using the original 3rd edition adventure, but I have all three editions and compare them frequently. 1. I suppose that is possible. But Shealis should know (I doubt any Shahalesti agent would act within Gate Pass without informing her) and why wouldn't she inform Larion? I assume she...

Even though I've run this adventure for five or six groups already - when you sit down to translate every word and sentance, there are some oddities that creep up. Here are two: 1. In the beginning of Act Two it says "Peppin is dead, slain by agents of the elvish nation of Shahalesti." But if...

Another thing that popped up in our playtest: movement in combat. Are there any rules for it, beyond "you can move your speed"? Can you withdraw from melee at no cost? Move past opponents? I found a few universal exploits connected to this, but what would the basic rule be?

Thanks for all the answers. That open-ended skill system will take some time getting used to. Especially with players who love to game the system. :) /Mikael

I backed The Fall of Somerset Landing on Kickstarter and have begun to try out the rules for N.E.W. version 1.2. However, a few rules questions pop up. 1. The rules reference "DEFENSE" on several places (Electrokinetic blast on page 36, Prison tough on page 45, Psychic choke and Psychic push on...

Bobbert Cop has CHA 7 (2d6) and LUC 3 (3d6) in your screen-shot. Those dice pools seem a bit off.

One more thing: page 30 says "A completed beginning character will have a total of 13 skill ranks (3 species skills and 2 career skills per grade)." That statement is leaving out the home world skill, which brings the total to 14.

A very minor thing, but I noticed that the wrong character seems to be talking in the middle of page 9. ("Nichelle (playing Talik): I try to get more info from my scan. I roll 14 again. What type of creature are we talking here?") I belive a corrected paragraph should read "Leonard (playing Dr...

Well, a new edition of this amazing campaign can never be a bad idea.

Danke for the feedback, Lylandra. Did you have any input to this, RangerWickett?

Here is a nice graph of it:

While running a fourth group into War of the Burning Sky, I started to do an extra round of thinking regarding some names in the campaign. Most of the important names have already been reworked into something that works in swedish, but I realise there are still some proud nails there. One of...
