It works out for GG, in the end I think. Most gamers who would back this probably aren't even aware of all this anyway, and a fair amount who are aware may still back it anyway now that this one crowdfunded print run will be the only way to get it. I know I would want a premium DCC conversion...

I decided to check in on this thread since it was on page 693 and I was like "Let's see where this is at" and I see we are arguing about Burning Wheel rules.

That's fair. Hommlet is far from the worst offender, you're definitely right there. It's just a preference thing. I'll take a 10 room dungeon where each room is wholly noteworthy, unique and memorable over something like the Moathouse as a general matter.

As somebody who has played and enjoyed OD&D and older editions of WFRP, I don't mind less weapon variance but I do understand the criticism. For example, in OD&D since every weapon does D6 damage generally speaking, the only weapons you will see wielded are daggers because you can attack twice...

I really dig old school play in certain aspects but dungeon design is not one of the things that ever clicked for me. Hommlet is a great example, assuming the PCs don't miss going to the Moathouse entirely they will immediately encounter a bunch of rooms with nothing noteworthy in them, for...

No game can ever truly die given that words on a page (especially ones that have been digitized) can never truly die. Hell, at a local convention the single most popular living campaign is for DragonQuest and that game is so abandoned the WotC abandoned the trademark.

Warms my heart. I needed this today. Sometimes it's nice to know, that in today's world people can still get together on things, you know?

In the pre-4e days Daniel Fox (of Zweihander and general internet annoyance fame) was talking about being in talks with GW about acquiring the WFRP license and a condition of that deal was that they also produce an Age of Sigmar game. So I imagine a fair amount of that output (especially the...

Putting aside the fact that I think the Horus Heresy peaked as a two page write-up in the original Rogue Trader, this is now a cow that requires constant milking. Anyway, any word on what rule system this uses? More Imperium Maledictum or more Wrath & Glory?

My understanding is that that it's not just Arkham (which just released and looks great) but all of those older Lovecraft Country books are going to get updated at some point by Chaosium. But yeah, the mechanics are probably the least important part of the books and the conversion is very...

On the upside, we'll probably get a new movie before 2029 now. Some of these gaps are quite large.

Yeah, fair. It's not "bad" in the way that say, Ravenloft is. It's different and they made some changes that I don't particularly like, but given it's a smaller slipcase release vs 2E's dozen books or whatever that's understandable to an extent. Here is a list of all the notable differences...

This works for me. The longer this lore focus goes on the more likely it is old settings get revisited. Now, the actual quality of the revisits will likely vary considerably and I have no faith they will get it right, personally (see, Ravenloft, Planescape et al). I also have concave interest in...

I'm still shocked they didn't fix this. I know that they dialed up the superheroics for player characters even more, but the way yo-yo healing stands you up without consequence all the time surely couldn't have been intentional originally. But man, they've really just run with it since.

Bro, my FATAL character has the BEST butt circumference. Your game doesn't even have rules for that, I bet.

I like the non-answer to the question about, hey can you provide us some guidance for variations on the humanoid stat blocks. I can only interpret the non-answer as Also, you still can't convince that Hold Person not working on a basic Goblin is a good idea.

I can kind of see where Perkins is coming from here, to an extent. Like, yeah, I guess if I had to say which edition 5e feels most like, I would say 2e. But really, even then, it does not even come close to feeling like it. And yeah, like you, I think the main difference is player expectations...

Yeah. I was mainly asking why buy it on DDB, Foundy and Roll20. Gotta be WotC's favorite customer of all time.

This is like a fractal of crowdfunded zines. We've gone too far. Go back.

Why?
