https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reaperddrpg/reaper-miniatures-dungeon-dwellers-roleplaying-game This looks like a fantastic deal and delivers in July. A simplified yet differentiated 5e with some unique mechanics and an old school feel. All in is $100 for three, most likely at least 4...

There was no similar effect. 4e was dead when 5e was announced for playtesting and there was a 2 year span where it was edition neutral materials or nostalgia products. From 3e to 4e? sure. From 2e to 3e? yes. 4e to 5e? Might as well have said D&D was GI Joe from 1995-2009, 2010-2021 with as...

Pre-release of the new revision most likely.

See I ran 5e and Starfinder the same way but they didn’t have that feeling from them. The rules are kind of straight jackets. Your character can do A, D & O but not P or T because of the rules, not having proper feats or class abilities etc while DCC is A “try it” game. The class abilities are...

I think what we see being considered "how it was done" vs how it was done is a lot of rediscovery of rules in the DMG and learning about intent and people having vague memories. There was a lot of intent in the rules that not even TSR followed through on such as managing kingdoms as the end game...

The era of "badwrongfun"! Most of the games I played were heavy politics, very little action though. We rarely touched dice when we played. I quit playing around 1997 and got revised about a year before the suicide attempt that was nWoD which was an incredible line really. SO well thought out...

The question is... like Robotech, will you get it and how long will it actually take?

I wouldn't call him evil in the comics either, he's an antihero but he's driven to kill monsters by any means necessary. I'd call him a neutral party, definitely not good but doesn't care unless it helps his cause. I read Tomb of Dracula and the modern stuff.

wrong information, deleted it out

Yeah but it's all back from what I can tell. They just focused like they did in pre-Revised Vamp.

Revised was really the best edition, if only they had all the great music quotes in it though. I learned so many new bands playing 2e because they included so many quotes.

Photo model art is usually pretty bad.

Yeah grain of salt that. The Vampire Chronicles started in the late 70s and were huge by the time VtM came out. They probably did avoid reading Rice but more because she was popular and White Wolf are the original PBR Micro-Brew hipsters, the goth came after lol

It’s not the Anne Rice rpg. It’s a vampire game that taps into multiple archetypes of the vampire including aspects of Rice through the Toreador. It’s not a bad game because it fails to be Anne Rice. Rein•Hagen and company didn’t pay for the rights to make Anne Rice RPG. They made their own...

It captures the feel of old VtM far better.

And people call 5e bloated with… 3 players option books and 4 monster expansions. Or three monster expansions if you prefer MotM to Volo and ToF.

They were saying physical books were done for years in favor of ebooks and now ebooks sales are way down and physical bookstores are on the way up. VTT isn't the future but like pdfs, it is part of the market and here to stay. Catering to it only makes sense but it will not replace a book in hand.

I member when it was 2 a month.

Because in 3.x and 4e they learned that they don't sell. They have increasing diminishing returns on each book after an initial spike. The 5e model shows each book continues to sell consistently in volumes to maintain profitability outside of the 1-3 month range. Players options don't sell on...

I'm going with YES and NO myself. :P Yes because of the themes and the wrong people playing the game can take it to far even with things like X cards and No because it's a fun world and game and lets you embrace a darker thing when played right and with the right people. Inherently no. The...
