I have to say I'm really liking the way they've been engaging the public with the development of V20 on their blog. I think it is something WW should have started doing years ago. Reading the development has made me want to play Vampire again. Which is a feat since I always preferred Mage or...

I agree that Dragon Age RPG in the Dragon Age world is rather sparse. But, as a system, AGE can easily be adapted to other worlds. It is now my system of choice for Freeport adventures. I could easily see it used for Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk or any of the other game worlds that already have...

I ran a one-shot using the Freeport backgrounds supplied in Kobold Quarterly #13 (by Chris Pramas himself.) I ran a quick conversion of Death in Freeport, and it was very easy to do. I found it nice that only a few thugs could really threaten the group. The stunt mechanic lets you do a variety...

Me too. Too bad I suspect that Werewolf would get this treatment first. And there is no chance we'll see one for Changeling or Wraith. I kind of wish it was being revised to use the nWoD mechanics, but I guess that is too much to ask in a project of this type.

Right now the world is mostly a blank slate, except for Zobeck which has a lot of material developed for it. The advantage of a project like this is active patrons can contribute a lot to the discussion and set the course of design. We are currently discussing the Seven Cities area, which in...

No, it was cost of plastic + sales. As the prices for DDM increased, sales decreased. Clearly Axis & Allis minis have been selling better. I doubt Wizards would continue to produce them if they haven't maintained profitability.

I know one of the last books to come out before 2E was the long awaited "Realms of Sorcery" supplement. It is a great book if you can find it. Other than that, find a copy of the Enemy Within campaign. It is the best "Adventure Path" I've ever GM'd.

The give and take narrative conflict resolution system is what makes the game unique. Sure, if you just put up numbers and don't say anything more interesting than "I hit him" it doesn't feel any different than any other rpg. But finding creative ways to integrate traits into conflicts...

I've played it a few times with friends, and we've always enjoyed it. We've used the system for both the standard setting and others. I don't agree that it is only useful in a game where the players have 'moral authority' however. We've used it for a detective noir game and for a doctor who...

I have to disagree with the original poster. Brands are recognizable names. D&D is still very recognizable. The problem with the brand is it is too close to being generic. Like asking for a kleenex when you want a tissue. I tell non-gamers that I have a D&D game on Wednesdays, even though I play...

It's hard to read too much into incomplete data. We don't know what else will be coming out this year. The picture I see is this: Wizards decides to use Essentials to try and bring in new customers. It didn't do as well as expected. When the 2010 Q4 numbers are in Wizards decides to shift in a...

I have read kingmaker but not run or played it yet. I think it is a great adventure path for GMs that want a campaign framework. It is a great introduction on how to run a sandbox game. So for a GM that doesn't want to do any outside work, it isn't the path for them. For a GM who wants to be...

I really like the 4E titles from Open Design, but as a patron who participated in their creation I am probably biased. Courts of the Shadow Fey is the only one widely available at the moment. In a few months The Lost City will be released. Both are excellent paragon tier adventures. Hmm...

fireinthedust: That is why I suggested around CR10 for the cut off on a digest book. Yes, the rules support the elder dragon, but those are going to be very rare in an E6 game. What I would want in an E6 book is something small and tight that you can easily run most games from. If the GM needs...

Yes, but a DDI subscription is for 2 magazines worth of content per month. Blizzard doesn't charge people for the expansions until they are released. You pay a WoW subscription to maintain access to the existing game. If I were still a DDI subscriber I'd be upset. But I already dropped my...

I prefer the idea of capstone feats. You leave level 6 as it is in the core rules (whether you are using 3.5 or Pathfinder) and add some feats that can only be added to 6th level characters of particular classes. One of the main areas that E6 truly differs from the core game is what feats you...

Maybe I'm not understanding. How can errata be incorporated into a first-printing of a new edition? Presumably they will try to make it as correct as possible, but since it is the first printing there will of course be errata to be found. Or are you talking about any errata DC Adventures might...

According to James Jacobs there are 55 monsters of CR 13+ and 5 monsters of CR 21+.

Rumor has it some FLGS have a poster that lists all the monsters in the Bestiary 2. Why hasn't anyone posted this list here yet? I'm sure lots of people would be interested in seeing it.

Those look like unprocessed finals. You can still see pencil marks from the original sketching. Once they are processed by the art department they will look a lot cleaner. I don't have the DC adventures book, but did it have a lot of original art? Or did it benefit from the DC archives that...
