    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    Yeah, I'm a big fan! Admittedly, this is the first edition of D&D I've ever played (outside of an aborted attempt at 4e), but I can't imagine preferring any other. It's definitely less tactical than 3e or 4e, and that's a major part of what I like about it. I really wish Sasquatch Game Studio...

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    I recently downloaded the D6 rules from DriveThruRPG—wonderfully free!—and I really like what I see so far! I half considered using the rules for my next campaign, but since half of my group consists of people who were completely new to tabletop roleplaying up until we started playing D&D 5e a...

    Out of curiosity have you (or anyone else, for that matter) tried Barbarians of Lemuria? I've only looked through the rules a bit, but I definitely like what I see. (What can I say? I like mechanically light systems that tend to stick with good, old six-siders!)

    Wheaton Talks TITANSGRAVE

    I'll be interested to see what other genres the AGE system is tweaked for. For instance, I know Green Ronin already has Mutants & Masterminds, but I think it would be cool to have a superhero AGE rules set.

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    So is your solution to force transgender people to identify as the sex as which they were biologically born? I find that incredibly offensive, and it's been shown to be far more psychologically damaging to those individuals to have to do so than it is for you to tolerate their gender identification.

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    To my knowledge, Joe serving Jane at his place of business does not actually conflict with his religious beliefs. Unless you can point to a spot in the Bible that says, "It is unlawful for a business owner to have dealings with homosexuals or transgender people," it's just a case of, "These...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    Thanks for helping me with the oversight! I'd also like to give a shout-out to God. Despite the fact that his comments were a little less than civil, he made one of my favorite statements when he said, "Social justice is not a pejorative..." Also, I've always thought "Social Justice Warrior"...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    A few things: 1) Good for Gen Con for taking this stand! 2) Good for EN World for reporting on it! 3) Shout outs to Kiraya_TiDrekan and Zaruthustran as thread MVPs! You two are awesome!

    FAITH, the sci-fi RPG, an RPG that replaces dice with cards. Game overview

    Congrats on reaching your initial funding goal! I really hope this gets to some of the bigger stretch goals in the last 36 hours. I really love the idea of the final bosses! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/burninggames/faith-the-sci-fi-rpg

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    Really excited about the new movie, but I was disappointed to hear that the producer had said that Legend of Conan will be less like Robert E. Howard's stories and more like John Milius's original film. Not that that's entirely a bad thing,—after all, it was the 1982 movie that got me interested...

    What the--??? How dare you, sir! Cary Nord's work on the Dark Horse's Conan comic is brilliant! I like it even more than the Barry Windsor-Smith stuff of yore!

    No, it's very much its own thing and was created by Modiphius.

    According to the Modiphius press release, the name of the company is Conan Properties. http://www.modiphius.com/conan.html

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    I'd also be interested to see how Modiphius' Conan game compares to Primeval Thule. I know that the latter is a campaign setting as opposed to a separate game in and of itself, but from the sounds of it, the world it presents is pretty amazingly well-realized. I just wish Sasquatch Games would...

    If anyone wants to check out the 2d20 rules in more detail, the Mutant Chronicles 3e beta rules are available for free on DriveThruRPG.com. http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/126929/Mutant-Chronicles-3rd-Edition-FREE-Open-Beta

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    A natural 20 is only a failure if the other die is above the target number. If you roll equal to or less than the TN but also roll a nat 20, it's considered a success with a complication.

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    From what I gathered from my skimming, you generally roll 2d20 for a skill check and try to roll equal to or less than a target number on one or both dice. If you roll equal to or less than the target number on only one die, it's a success. If you roll equal or less on one die but a natural 20...

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    I'm very interested, but I'm not sure how I'll feel about the 2d20 system. I've skimmed through the beta rules for Mutant Chronicles 3rd edition, and it sounds like it could be a nifty spin on the d20 system. Unfortunately, it's tough to know without playing.

    What's the most anticipated RPG of 2015?

    Does anyone know if Worlds In Peril is supposed to come out this year?

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    I've noticed that Greyhawk has actually come in first in the "Which Non-Realmsian Setting Would You Like Next?" poll, and I'm curious if anyone can explain to me what Greyhawk offers that other campaign settings don't. (For example, Dark Sun, Eberron, and Spelljammer are wildly different enough...
