Ohhh, trust me, Lovecraft has been called out over the last few years, many, many many times - and rightfully so. Some of the things he wrote (in his letters especially) are nausea-inducing. And I really like his stories. But the man himself...damn, not someone I would be friends with. Nope.

This is still going on? Wow... I already made my point on the stat issue( to reiterate, I think it would be cool to have a set of choices of ancestry abilities for each species, sort of like subraces but more customizable, kind of like Zweihander did it, to make sure that each ancestry still has...

One thing I am unapologetically excited about is their idea of hiring more diverse talents. I mean, seriously, how amazing would it be to have new versions of Kara-Tur, Chult or the Al-Qadim setting done with the input or even better, by people intrinsically familiar with the cultures inspiring...

As I said in the other thread already, I am all in favour of giving " always evil" humanoid species an overhaul. There's still enough source of conflict to be had. If, for example, orcs hold a certain spot of land sacred because, according to their legends, Gruumsh once shed a drop of blood...

I don't mind giving the " always evil" races a bit more nuance. Given that they are, as I said earlier, different species, however, I don't think removing modifiers is really helping. Orcs are, for example, less prone to deep thinking than humans while goblins are not as strong as humans. The...

So very true. An orc is simply not capable of understanding peace. It is not in his nature. And a dwarf cannot forgive. They are utterly psychologically incapable of letting things go. Which is the reason for the whole Slayer cult thing - they are absolutely unable to forgive themselves. And...

sigh Wow...never thought anyone could make me feel bad about my hobby again. Makes me wonder if there are ANY people in the TTRPG field who actually love what they are doing.

Regarding the Vistani, it would help tremendously to portray them as victims of the Dark Powers, like all inhabitants of the Dread Realms, and/or Fate and all they do as consequences of that.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Not to harp on this product, mind you, I like new pre-thought-out adventures. But I always plan the treasure ahead and it's very rarely just a simple +1 sword. I'm usually going for more of an original Appendix N feel so magic items and some treasures do have...

Sad to hear this, but it's not particularly surprising. I reckon 2020 will go down in history as the year of cancellations. Here in Germany, they closed down all cinemas, museums, clubs etc. until April 19th. Fortunately, most people have been understanding and civil about this...besides, of...

I get where you're coming from. I bought the game yesterday and it has a certain Dark Souls- or Zothique-esque flavour to it. Which are pluses in my book. Definitely a cool game to run for convention one-shots but not a game for campaign play, I'd say.,unless you have a group that can handle the...

Quite interested in this...when will it hit the (virtual and actual) shelves?

I was actually thinking about using this game for more than just redoing the Alien movies. Expand the universe more. Despite their quality being questionable, the prequels showed us that there is something more to mankind's origins and hinted at the fact that mankind is apparently not even meant...

Looks great and can't wait to pick this up. Only thing I am a bit wary of is that just the aliens might be a bit too...samey for longer campaigns after a while. Or are there other enemy types/xenomorphs etc.? Or at least guidelines how to make your own?

Hm...okay...I saw the occultist class and kinda wanted to get it right away...with the kickstarter it will probably take some time until I can get the book again. Pity you took the old version off DTRPG....

Errrm...is it at all possible to actually BUY the PDF for A Touch of Class? It seems you folks removed it from DTRPG...can I get it anywhere else? Kinda want to give you money but....

How about we skip the Christian apologetics? Anyone with a mere smattering of historic knowledge knows about the atrocities committed by the church and by civilian authorities in the name of god over the centuries. Not to mention the simple fact that most of the persecution, torture and murder...

Yeah...the dice sort of ruin it for me.

Shadowrun is too rules-heavy for my purposes. I am looking for a more generic system that can span both modern and fantasy. And nope, GURPS is too clunky ;)

Exactly what it says on the tin. I need a system to run a modern fantasy game in (as in, our modern world with guns etc. but as a fantasy world that continued to technologically advance, which means there's magic and demihuman races etc.) that should fit those criteria: Not too rules-heavy Not...
