and all were released more than 4 months after the core game, and in some cases a few years later.

And you're talking about a NEW game vs games that were around for a while. Marvel hasn't even been out 6 months yet!

Those are effects based design though as opposed to powers based design. Effects based allows for that because it is picking and choose bonuses, dice levels etc with selected modifiers to emulate the desired power. That's a benefit of effects based systems. The drawback is more complex character...

I agree 100%

A conflict Kobold would probably lose if it came to that.

How is that different from any other game???

If you like rules light, most of the book is Marvel U characters, with simple mechanics, (yes I think it is simple, even damage) then it's a great game. It isn't balanced but neither was FASERIP Marvel or MEGS. This is beer and pretzels with a side of reese' cups. It is a throwback on the...

Marvel went in house as you said and that was their business plan to control quality. Marvel hasn't had a successful game since the original TSR game. It's also pretty simple, unlike M&M, for character creation and feels very similar to FASERIP in that sense. They wanted to catch the casual...

It's a one book game with three available at launch, the core, a GM kit and a world book. That's not any different to M&M3e where you have the Deluxe Hero's Handbook, a GM kit was released and World of Freedom, the default setting used in the core rules.

It has some rules in it from the OGL from 3PP and they have their Superlink license as well as adding to the OGC for each edition. When 3e was published... a decade ago... the OGL was the best model for their business and the standard for everyone. Nobody who used it for a game tossed it no...

Valiant Comics has been around much longer than Kobold Press though. They own the trademark to "Valiant" since 1991.

I used to be patreon but when his videos went almost exclusively negative following this video I dropped it. He is extremely creative with great advice but I have yet to see a video on running a game in 9 months from his channel.

No, he earned it.

I've been on a soapbox against influencers for a couple years now. Cancerous growths.

Reaper: Dungeon Dwellers RPG.

He fesses up to bad decisions so... why mention it?

Now this is a Shadowrun I would play. 1-2e and 20th Anniversary are well done. Kind of excited about this coming especially if it means the other books NEEDED

I think it depends on "when" in D&D history. Gygax's dwarves and elves had far more in common with Anderson and his approach in 3 Hearts & 3 Lions which was contemporaneous to The Hobbit and a massive influence on D&D. The werewolf approach, the troll, the paladin, alignments come from 3H&3L...

At one time I preferred Mutants & Masterminds to every other supers game but that was 1e which was a nice blend of CHampions and MSH and the mechanics were innovative. I liked that powers were a mix of Power based and Effects based and that the effects based powers could be used to create the...

I'm a Thelemite and I am not sure if I should be offended by Abyss of Hallucinations, seems to play into all the sensationalism about Crowley tying it to Mork Borg, and none of the factual aspects of him and his work but the other hand, it looks super cool and it's for Mork Borg.
