I always find it amusing when people come with the "one magic missile" example. Magic Missile is a trap, the most worthless, useless spell, but people seem to be keen on chosing it because "oooh it does damage". If you expect the AD&D magic-user to be a damage dealer, then of course you will...

Aside from some info about character creation and what's in the box I didn't learn anything about the game from this review.

It was just a comment on their (kind of ignorant and generalizing) sidebar note about video game level design, with a typo included. It's even funnier if I think about how many adventure modules I have seen with empty corridors and rooms containing only enemies.

They seem to paly the wrong video games.

Zweihänder, plus new releases for DCC RPG, LotFP, HackMaster.

The greatest game ever created by man is now available dirt cheap in Bundle of Holding: https://bundleofholding.com/presents/HackMaster In case you've never heard of it, HackMaster was originally a joke game from Knights of the Dinner Table that got published, and was basically AD&D on...

This is going to be a good year for Goodman Games.

Clockworks in my eyes are one of those things that's totally unrelated to druidism. It's actually quite the antithesis of it.

An MMO wouldn't have been a bad choice, if they make a PvE Pathfinder MMO which actually fits the tabletop game, ie. you are adventuring in groups and fighting monsters instead of each other. But no, they had to go with a PvP fantasy EVE clone.

Demos? There is a fifteen day trial. I thought I'll put my prejudice away and give it a chance. I'll copy-pasty my comment from MassivelyOP: Pathfinder Online is a new record holder for me with the shortest MMO session after I wanted to delete a game. Character creation starts with selecting...

Unexperienced team, small funds, full sandbox pvp, not listening to the fans, asking for subscription even in the alpha, using a unique system despite being called Pathfinder... This game was doomed from the beginning.

I have the GMG too, I pre-ordered. I also have the Zealot's Guide Book I and II, so I'm not interested in those either. Yeah, the silence about Hacklopedia II is why I would love to have some news about it, but it seems other projects enjoy higher priority at Kenzer & Co.

Please stop using slots for the number of spells prepared. They are two totally different things in 5e. There is a number of spells you can prepare aka memorize (casting ability mod + class level), and then you can use your spell slots to cast them. Talking about filling spell slots implies...

Lankhmar / Nehwon from Pinnacle Entertainment Group (Savage Worlds) and Goodman Games (Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game) ^ This. And just generally, DCC adventures. They are doing an awesome good job with modules since DCC RPG. I'm also curious if there'll be anything interesting from...

Desh-Rae-Halra wasn't talking about buying D&D pdfs from Taiwin. He was talking about the books stored in taiwanese warehouses that diaglo mentioned above.

You're taking running away too literally. Sure, monsters can be faster than PCs, but PCs can have magic items, abilities, spells, environmental obstacles, and clever tactics that can help them. In case of intelligent creatures leaving behind some treasure, or in case of animals leaving behind...

That sounds like a badly designed dungeon. I don't like those either. A good dungeon has some (often crazed) logic to it, and usually several factions that can be used as enemies or allies. A good example for the latter is be R. E. Howard's Red Nails - which is IMO a far better example for a...

I used Inkscape, only because I don't have the time to learn Scribus and I know it well.

Probably a bit different from what you're looking for, but in Intrigue at the Court of Chaos low level characters are hired by the gods of Chaos to steal an artifact from the plane of Law. It's crazy.

Huge crawls? Where? Seriously, I barely see any, although we might have a different opinion about what's huge. As for smaller crawls I can wholeheartedly recommend the DCC RPG adventures. They are usually smaller locations and can be finished in 4-6 hours. They are also very different and are...
