Not really a new edition, just errata and a few tweaks from Flames of Freedom to the mechanics.

The shame mounts!

The only thing less important than interior art is in-setting fiction.

Rules light also doesn't mean newbie-friendly, either. They assume a certain competence, and a willingness to put more into a PC. Whereas a crunchy system, 'how do I...' can be answered with '+3 to your whatever. Pregens are a quick and simple tool for newbies. One session, and they're...

Not at all. Have you posted on Redditt, including time zone? Presentation is everything. Are you using Roll20 or Foundry? I use systems and settings (often mis-matched) that are not all that common (a couple rather obscure and OOP), and for the last six years I've not only kept six chairs...

If you are embracing NN's philosophy of separating the industry from the hobby, then your own point is invalid: if we don't care about the industry, there's no need to attract new people. There are endless volumes of trained players seeking groups online, a large number of them undeterred by...

That's called the Internet. Gaming online, I have never had an issue finding plenty of motivated, like-minded gamers. Embrace the 21st Century.

The cover art is great. Other than illustrations of gear and monsters, RM has traditionally not wasted much space on art.

The cover art is what sells, and RMU is first-rate in that regard. Since they are pdf-intensive, that's all they need.

The most recent: RM United. They have retained the RM goodness, while trimming away the excess; for instance, cutting armor classes down from 20 to 10. That made the charts a lot easier to read, and cost the game nothing, as the variety of PC armor is barely ten.

Your first mistake is assuming everyone plays D&D. The second is to think that everyone wants collaborative stories in a fantasy world. There is no 'one size fits all'. A lot of new players come to TTRPGs with inspiration from video games or tv/movies, and they just want to kill stuff and gain...

KABAL is not dead. And have no further comment.

I am always a joy to be around, so much so that I live in the country to avoid people flocking around in droves. Although b@stards still try to use my dock. But I have special loathing for BoL and similar systems.

That's just sad.

Let's put it this way: the ability to inflict Grievous wounds is not worth the cost and weight of a Zweihander. And unlike a five-foot-sword, a sharpened spoon is easy to hide. The simple fact is that there is too little range between said sharpened spoon, and the largest melee weapon. Even...

Probably go spend time with my wife, or mow. I live on sizeable acreage, so that's always an option.

Nope. Its a ripoff, plain and simple. There's a little fluff, and the FoF rules, but that's it. If anything, its lost a good bit of the grimdark that made it so impressive when it first came out. The sad thing is, it had the potential to be great; I've used it in both fantasy and a 40k clone...

I've GM'd over a hundred sessions of Zwei. Without the alternative rules, there's really no effective difference between a sharpened spoon (shiv) and a zweihander. Even with the optional rules, the system is still limited. Have no opinion on the author other than the quality of his work, which...

Yeah, we are diametrically opposed on that issue.

At no point in history has that phrase ever been true.
