Monopoly TTRPG confirmed! /s Appropriately, it’s also a Hasbro brand lol

Yeah, it’s a stylized representation of the 1980s intended for 2010s audiences. Lots of fashion and music, some history, very little of the politics, religion, or bigotry that might have been a lot more common.

She was introduced to MTG a long time ago as kinda “cool, sexy, rebellious, badass, (and much younger) pyromancer chick”, back before MTG became as character-focused as it is now. Subsequently she was basically replaced in that role by Chandra, another “cool, sexy, rebellious, badass pyromancer...

I’ve got my own copies now, and I’ve seen them on a few store shelves here in Canada too. So they should be available.

I’m still burned out on 5E, but LU:A5E is excellent and totally worth it. When I do play 5E, it’s A5E and it’s much more engaging.

The Kickstarter for LU:A5E had stretch goals, but yeah they were all outside the main product IIRC: digital tools, zine content, etc. All cool stuff, but mostly just gravy on top of the main course, rather than expanding the main course. I really like how Morrus/EN Publishinf has done its...

Canada, 1990s. Same experience as OP.

I feel ya. I’m hoping that if I pick up that “Update 2022” rulebook, that’s all I need to play.

I’m glad you mentioned this. I’ve got the old 3E Oriental Adventures book, and was thinking of picking up FFG’s L5R Starter Set just to see what’s new (and get some of the weird dice before they become impossible to find). But maybe I’ll just skip it.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification! Just out of curiosity, is there a most popular edition among L5R fans? Is the new 5E edition likely to supplant it?

As someone who has never played Traveller (yet!), this comment was a confusing and fascinating read. Thanks!

So, clarify, Edge Studios is the spinoff from FFG, but they’re publishing a L5R game based on 5E not FFG’s L5R system from a few short years ago? (That one was Genesis compatible, right? Or maybe I just thought so because typical FFG proprietary dice.)

Now to figure out where I can score a copy

I look forward to these new, ravioli-based mechanics.

I agree, and I say that as someone who tries really hard to avoid the bioessentialism trap. The Mos Eisley Cantina/cosmopolitan vibe works for me in certain locations (e.g.: Sharn, in Eberron), but when it comes to NPCs I prefer to make the races culturally unique in my settings. I do find it...

You’re right. It was Star Trek, so it always had the “everything is explainable with science” vibes. So it never really had to resolve mythical and spiritual matters in those terms—everything was just technology and unique alien life forms. There’s almost a disdain for spiritual matters, even as...

Thanks gang! I’m looking back to when we first learned the words “Far Realm” in the 3E days, and now it’s become a dominant part certain aspects of D&D lore. I wonder if “The First World” will become the same

Cheers, thanks for this. Also, can you point me to a D&D primary source on this? Or is it just the upcoming Radiant Citadel book? I wish to learn more.

Is the First World a Feywild-type place here, or is that strictly Pathfinder lore? Sorry, I haven’t been keeping up with Radiant Citadel previews, and I’m just curious

No sweat! It’s not your fault the rates are absurd. We appreciate the effort!
