The Kickstarter for "The Dark Eye - Magic of Aventuria" began yesterday. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ulissesspiele/the-dark-eye-magic-of-aventuria?ref=activity

As far as I'm concerned I'm pretty happy with the Torg Eternity and The Dark Eye products I got out of the Kickstarters from Ulisses Spiele NA. I'm pretty happy too with C7 products like Lone Wolf and Warhammer 4. So let's look forward to the future, drop the unnecessary hatred and wish for both...

What is old is new again. The whole online thing is what created 4e in the first place...

But still, D&D is a game in fantasy world different from ours. We may draw -inspiration- from our world's cultures but in the end they should be foreign for us. The cultural parallels exist only for us human being to be comfortable with these other worlds. So if we return back to the subject...

Please then do submit some of this content you talk about. In this day and age you can do it via POD like Lulu, mount a Kickstarter, self-publishing on DrivethruRPG Adventurer's League. If you wait for WotC to publish a book that will throw out all the 40+ content they for the sake of...

There's an aspect of this discussion that makes me wonder about how much background we bring in. As a French RPG GM and player my cultural background is very different from the one of my fellow German, UK, Italian, Spanish, US RPG player. And we share the Western stereotype. So imagine how...

D&D has tied itself to a setting since 3e with the inclusion of Greyhawk references. On top of that the mechanics introduced in AD&D 2e for the specialty priests permitted more character variation and opened the the way for products like Legends & Lore and Faiths and Avatars. So yes D&D pushed...

I think that we're paying some design philosophy from early that one-shot npc/monsters have to be as detailed as PCs. Sadly it would need a complete stat blocks overhaul to get rid of that. In the meantime it would be easier to list attack spells as part of the stat block rather than sending...

The 2001 OA was 'bad' in the sense that it really was trying too hard to push the rokugan setting that WotC had recently acquired instead of offering just mechanisms to add more character options in the game. The main issue we have here is that D&D books are mostly written and published by...

All depends on how compact the new stat blocks are vs those from PF1. Also it depends on which play tier they target. They can focus on the 'lower tiers' for the first book and keep those unique high level monsters for some special book later in the line.

I'm not sure I want to be educated in real world pan-pacifican cultures when playing in a fictional fantasy universe who already trample the real world European countries and cultures for 4 decades now. I mean how many times have I read misspelled French or German terms ? Have I asked for...

When GW released WFB 4th Edition they changed a lot of the lore of the game making it possible for them to have a Hero based wargame. This change impacts a lot a plot presented in the Enemy Within campaign, especially Power behind the Throne, Something Rotten in Kislev and Empire in Flames. If...

I wonder how (if !) they will try to reconcile early WFRP lore with the later incarnation of the Old World as depicted in WFB 4th edition+ and WFRP 2E+...

1. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition 2. Dark Conspiracy 4th Edition 3. Legend of the Five Rings RPG 5th Edition 4. Warhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory

I wonder when they'll share more about the "content" of both products. I'm very curious about the starter set because I always thought that the 1st edition of WFRP was such a great all-in-one resource.

A lot a RPG lines have 3+ editions out now and some have heavy differences between them like Shadowrun or more subtle-but-still-making-it-difficult like Legend of the Five Rings. Most of the RPG companies usually use the new editions as an excuse to sell you whle lot of books "updating" content...

How many other RPG line do support 4 previous editions with conversion documents that fully detail monsters, encounters and PC rebuilding ? None. At best you get a small conversion from previous version to current version and even these are not garanteed. It seems to me that what people...

I ike the conversion document but I guess i'll a redux of it on an index card to be able to refer quickly. For the nostalgics of previous editons I suggest check theses resources and think how unwieldly they were... Basic D&D to AD&D 2E AD&D 2E to D&D 3.0 conversion booklet D&D 3.0 to D&D 3.5...
