    Renegade Game Studios Takes Over World of Darkness

    I can see a case for the Salubri to be a clan. Even with the new bloodline system introduced in Cults of the Blood Gods, the Salubri are hard to pin down as a bloodline using that system. So turning them into a clan won't hurt, and seems plausible. In the lore of VtM they have been a full clan...

    Renegade Game Studios Takes Over World of Darkness

    The original anniversary edition V20 was the last published book by CCP/White Wolf, before OPP licensed the WoD brand from CCP. The effort was headed by Justin Achilli. One of the reasons why I am confident in V5 again. Justin Achilli to me is basically THE authority on Vampire: The Masquerade...

    Renegade Game Studios Takes Over World of Darkness

    You'll find that in the Camarilla book where they are portrayed as "Hellenes". The Chicago book also shows Critias and his circle in that light.

    Renegade Game Studios Takes Over World of Darkness

    And here I was looking at V5 and going: finally the artwork in the game book looks like the artwork I bring to the table :D

    Renegade Game Studios Takes Over World of Darkness

    I am not sure, if Modiphius' work was completely rejected. I'll see as soon as the companion is released. Also, I hope that Onyx Path gets the shaft. I don't like their publishing model. While keeping the WoD/CofD spirit alive, they basically withdrew completely from bookstores. If your products...

    Renegade Game Studios Takes Over World of Darkness

    I hope they finally get their tabletop act together. V5 needs regularly published books. This year there hasn't been anything published except a POD book. I understand if companies want to follow the D&D model of publishing. But WotC gives us a major release about 4 times a year. V5 doesn't do...

    Cypher System Does Superheroes

    I guess using the Cypher System you could easily run "The Boys".

    D&D 5E (2014) Here's Tasha's Contents Page

    So we get the Psi Warrior and the Soulknife, but no "core" psionic class?

    Five Things I Love About Shadow Of The Demon Lord

    I've run a campaign and currently play in one, and I am kind of done with system. The one unique selling point that I can run a campaign in ten sessions, can easily be accomodated with any other level-based system. Though I admit, they get multi-classing right. For the rest, I find that D&D...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha’s Cauldron Delayed Outside North America

    APAC: Asia-PACific. Quiet a common term in business relations. Since I don't care as much for the physical books, I am satisfied if DnD Beyonds has a digital version available on Nov 17, 2020.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    I keep thinking that a re-release of the classic campaign that started Dragonlance would be a good fit to the current model of campaign modules. The 30th Anniversary Edition of DL Classics means that basically the complete story is there, and just needs new stats.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    Hasbro/WotC will not release any statement whatsoever regarding this. Under corporate policy it's simply not adviseable to release press statements about pending litigation. It could influence the proceedings negatively. Hickman/Weis on the other hand seem to be re-tweeting the news about the...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    That‘s what I meant with „banking on outrage“. Hickman and Weiss look like they are hoping for a reaction from the fans in order to get WotC to make concessions.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    I would put that in a relative perspective. Dragonlance last happened 13 years ago. That‘s two D&D editions ago. So Hickman and Weis are not necessarily widely known at this point in time. I bet, they are banking on an public outrage. But I am not sure that it is a relevant issue to current...

    GMing: What Keeps Long Running Campaigns Exciting?

    I try to mix a healthy dose of world-building into my adventures. Somehow I try to follow the advice from the old Dungeoncraft articles: associate secrets and mystery with the adventures. So, besides treasure I usually bury a lot of information about the history and state of the world into an...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Most Popular D&D Classes & Subclasses

    The subclasses that are part of the basic rules make up a sizeable portion of each class. It would be interesting to have some sort of separate statistics based on available rulesset.

    WotC Ray Winninger Is Head of D&D RPG Team; Mike Mearls No Longer Works on RPG

    That's why the name rang familiar. When designing a new campaign, I still go back to the summaries of his articles I wrote for myself back when. They are pretty awesome!

    The Troubleshooters: 60's Cartoon Themed RPG

    Just some quick ones: Handlungshaken sounds strange in German (even though it's technically a correct translation). You'd rather say Handlungsaufhänger. From the Skills section: Contacts would also be plural: Kontakte Credit would be Kreditwürdigkeit Entertainment as "Underhaltung" is a typo, it...

    The Troubleshooters: 60's Cartoon Themed RPG

    Since the character sheet is a passport, it's also available in German. (y) Even though, some of the translations seem a bit strange.
