    Fading Suns Hits Kickstarter

    I like the atmosphere of the old FS artstyle (1E/2E) and layout, 3E was a mess. 4E looks to have a quite different artstyle, it looks good, but doesn't scream FS to me. Add to that $55 for 480 pages of pdf content vs the 312 page 2E corebook for €11.24 or $14.99 for the revised versions in pdf...

    Onyx Path Cancels LegendLore Kickstarter Partway Through Citing COVID-19

    I'm getting reports from most KS projects that production in China either has returned to 100% capacity or should shortly do so. So production in China isn't the issue. An issue might be that products are shipped to the US/EU and due to the lockdown companies won't be able to ship product...

    Seeking Detailed Setting I Can Ruin

    What about Middle Earth, specifically MERP Middle Earth, pretty detailed imho, has a detailed history, low magic, etc.

    Onyx Path Cancels LegendLore Kickstarter Partway Through Citing COVID-19

    I've seen a few and what's great depends on who and what it is. AEG launched another boardgame yesterday. And when you look at Kicktraq for their previous KS, they are under-performing quite a lot. 1/4th to 1/3rd of what they claimed with a previous KS (Valley of the Kings). Now, this game feels...

    Hero Quest 25 Anniversary (crowdfunding), the disillusion

    It seems that a lot of folks don't know what's actually protected and not by IP law, let me give you a hint: It's not what companies making the IP's tell you what's theirs. GW is a good example of this, on of their last lawsuits on this matter against ChapterHouse Studio. Of all the items GW...

    Onyx Path Cancels LegendLore Kickstarter Partway Through Citing COVID-19

    And that is a good thing! Such small stores a germ breeding ground in the best of times, now they should be labeled as deathtraps! As for side jobs needed to do X digitally, very little compared to regular distribution. That's nothing new, the same has been true for RPGs after the introduction...

    Onyx Path Cancels LegendLore Kickstarter Partway Through Citing COVID-19

    I don't want to go into politics, but the economic forecasts for Spain has been bad, even before the current crisis. Pedro Sánchez is there since June 2018, economic decline has happened since 2015. But 2009-2013 there was actual negative economic growth. The current crisis won't make it any...

    Onyx Path Cancels LegendLore Kickstarter Partway Through Citing COVID-19

    Honestly, with this particular IP and the situation that was already developing, launching the 12th wasn't the smartest thing they ever did. The results speak for themselves, not even half way there after a week and a half. I suspect that currently launching new KS will not be very smart...

    FFG Star Wars & Other Roleplaying Games Aren't Going Away After All

    Edge Entertainment has a long history with FFG, they have done many of the French/Spanish translations/publishing for FFG products, and in turn FFG did the English translations/publishing of the Anima games. So there already was a strong relationship before the buyouts by Asmodee. EE does have...

    RPG Evolution: How a RPG Company Launched Virtual Reality Gaming

    The LAMs from Aerotech (1609, 1986) are the same Mechs from Robotech/Macross, they are anything but slow and plodding. And a running Locust can join traffic on the highway at 130km/hour... And maneuvers like punching, kicking, axe wielding, dropping from dropships, jumping 180m+, or Death From...

    RPG Evolution: How a RPG Company Launched Virtual Reality Gaming

    VR stands for Virtual Reality, that's not just the VR headsets we're used to today, that's a lot of other stuff as well. Including stuff like 'Holodecks'! That also means that flightsims with screens and a total cockpit build are also VR, but I suspect that those were available before FASA got...

    WotC 7 Digital D&D Games In Development

    Atleast I'm not a Mindflayer that's Trolling... ;-) Maybe 'isn't a flop' isn't a good way to describe it. Let's call it 'potential to succeed'. I won't be preordering it, but I suspect it'll be good, and I know that "Successes from the past aren't guarantees for the future.".

    WotC 7 Digital D&D Games In Development

    That totally depends on the movie budget and also whether the film is received well or not... As for D&D, the D&D 2000 movie cost around $45 million to make and they lost about $11 million on it. On the other hand, the first Transformers movie cost around $150 million to make and the had a...

    Fantasy Flight Games Discontinuing RPGs?

    Why is everyone acting surprised? Look at the last 20 years of FFG products, especially (but not only) in their RPG section. They'll kill any license/line that they don't think performs well, be it SW, be it L5R, etc. While the new owners of Asmodee might have given some divisions a nudge, for...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Digital Plans To Be Revealed On February 21st

    I suspect that you should look at Magic: Arena as a way forward for all WotC properties: Make once, update often, buy twice. They are also looking at producing new (digital) IPs.
