Yeah, I thought about mentioning Geist in my earlier post. But you're right, to me personally, it felt like White Wolf's attempt to just make Wraith again with an explicitly more gameable premise.

Yeah, that's what I got out of the original book. Still though, like if the game is for every character to follow their individual passions lest they embrace oblivion, what unifies the party? My biggest pet peeve with WoD is the party constantly splitting up and scheming in secret, potentially...

Wraith's biggest problem, and I've read the book multiple times, is it does an absolutely terrible job of explaining what your players are supposed to do.

I also am part of a middle school D&D club and let me tell you it's not just you. The vast majority can't be bothered to learn the rules. There are some exceptions, as always, but man it was alot different when I was in middle school. Learning the rules to "real game" like D&D or whatever at...

I never thought I'd say this, but I prefer an Animorph cover to this oil painting.

It would seem plausible, but if the legal agreement was that comprehensive in its terms and conditions, it wouldn't also have a boilerplate conduct clause that can justify a termination of the agreement? My understanding is that is very common and has been for some time.

Absolutely no way. That property is radioactive forever. What Barker did is way worse than the weird bigoted uncle ranting on Facebook that Bledsaw likes to engage in. Hell, at this point I'm not sure you can convince me that Barker didn't write the Turner Diaries under a pseudonym. Edited to...

Gimme DCC Grasshoper bois right now

Perfectly valid. V5 isn't really to my taste personally, I think we're kidding ourselves if we think the way most people actually end up playing Vampire isn't superhero politics and I find the attempts to systematize the early Vampire focus on the struggle to retain humanity in the face of your...

In the case of Vampire, I think their biggest problem in regards to a new edition, is that V20 exists. Alot of the blowback around V5 or the Chronicles of Darkness version (or whatever the name for that thing is now) is that people want the milieu and lore they recognize. There are definitely...

Absolutely wild, I had totally missed this. I feel like a thief broke up his first marriage or something, like, what did the thief ever do to him?

This is a relief, right? I remember seeing a thread on here awhile back about how somebody talked to somebody from Rebellion at a different, earlier convention and they were very concerned from that interaction that the new T&T would be nothing like the old game. Sort of like how that new...

I think the bar for the vast majority of RPG publishers are quite low when it comes to measuring success. Like, you could be a dude with some free desktop publishing software putting out print zines you get printed at an Office Max and pull a regular, albeit modest profit. If I had to pick one...

Yeah, they are trying to keep the numbers for this around what they need to pay themselves and refund the backers of the 2014 Kickstarter. If they end up with a bunch of extra money I think they have to pay the JG or something like that. That was my interpretation of the scatterbrained GG...

The real reasons C&C's rules are the way they are is because they predate OSRIC. Essentially, they didn't think they could clone AD&D legally. All that said, I do like C&C. One of the things I dislike about 5E is the party of all furry Sonic OCs that every party is now (doubly so now with the...

We are just a few minutes into the campaign and people are starting to pile into the comments section on Backerkit complaining about the lack of included PDFs.

Whoops, you're right, I can't type.

If I'm reading this right, there isn't even a bundle for print and PDF in combination. So if you wanted one box set (DCC or 5E) and a PDF it would be $330. Is this a reprint of Invisible Sun or something? EDIT: I don't math/type good. I am smart and cool.

It looks like it just launched. If you were inclined to back it, just be aware that the $200 box set does NOT include the PDF. With value like that they might need that extra shot of FOMO they ended up having here, good lord.
