The current plan is that the Cinematic Adventures will have enough rules material to make the adventure work and to let folks make some adventures of their own in that world. We are also looking at full sourcebooks for settings that call for it and when the license holder is keen on it. They...

The core rulebook is standalone including GM material. While you could use monsters and such from D&D, it's in no way assumed you will.

That is something we address. In Everyday Heroes, you get a subclass at level 1 that is very "flavorful" and specialized like an advanced class in d20 modern. As you level up you can take feats that effectively let you pick and chose aspects of other classes and subclasses and mix them into your...

Hi, I'm one of the lead designers on the game so I can answer a few questions. The rules design is fairly generic in the sense that you could play a wide range of genres using the system. It is a little less generic in that our classes/subclasses are more specialized in their abilities and were...

Howdy Aco175, I'm a lead designer on Everyday Heroes. We appreciate the feedback and I'm much amused by your commentary in a good way. The marionette girl is one of our Iconic characters for the "Manipulator" subclass, a charming hero that plays with people's emotions and perceptions to get...

Thanks for the question Tonguez As for martial arts and unarmed combat, we currently have three unarmed focused characters. One is an MMA-style fighter, another is a more Bruce Lee style, and the last more a Kung Fu wise master-styled archetype. None of them are throwing ki-balls or the like...

My pleasure Stormonu! I just want to say upfront, all critiques we get are helpful in that we want to know early on how people react so we can think about the final product. Everyone here's been respectful and constructive so that's all good stuff for us. Everyone on the team just kind of...

Hey there Weiley, While that is not one of our design goals, I'll say that our system changes are subtle enough that you absolutely could do a crossover without too much effort, and so far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing!

Hi Kobold Avenger, I'm the fellow that's done most of the firearms work, though all the designers work together to polish the work. I felt there were audiences that like both approaches. In the end, we primarily list firearms by category as you suggest, but we often cite real-world example guns...

Hey there TerraDave, At the moment (we are still very much in the midst of game design), we are not tracking Heroes bank accounts or the like. We have a Wealth Level, and equipment has a Price Level, and if Wealth is equal or better you either can buy the item or you already own it. We do...

Hello Masked one, I'm one of the game designers on the project. It is largely USA-centric as our inspiration is Hollywood Action Cinema. That and pretty much everyone on the team is American, and as they say, you write what you know. I do try to be a bit more broad-based in my research, and I...

Hey J! One of the elements we are going to have is a technology timeline of the last 60 years or so to help Game Masters who maybe weren't alive in the age when dialing a phone actually meant something literal, yet want to run a game in a near-history period matching a favorite movie or TV series.

Hey there! I'm one of the lead designers on Everyday Heroes. Honestly Reborn, you have a good eye. A number of those characters in the splash image were commissioned as bad guys! Were still in the process of filling out art orders and our chief composited that image using some of the...

Hey, Stormonu. I'm one of the lead Developers on Everyday Heroes. We are indeed sticking with bounded accuracy, it works pretty well for a game in the real world, and frankly makes combat balance easier to achieve. We are leaning heavily into subclasses, even more so than 5e core does. We...

Thank you Thank you for the very through review! I really enjoyed it. I though I'd post Clockwork Summoning here for folks since you mention it in the review. Clockwork Summoning (Metamagic) You summon clockwork beats instead of those of flesh and bone. Prerequisites: Spell Focus...

Atari seems to regularly crap on their D&D license. Almost every game they publish for D&D comes out half baked and full of loose. This one seems to be a new low for them however. Its gotten so bad I nearly refuse to buy any game they publish. They are simply a horrible game publisher that...

Always a good read I'm a bit bias since I write for them on occasion but... I'll say that even when I don't really the articles for my own game I find Kobold is always a nice entertaining read and I often enjoy the articles for games I don't play as much as the ones I do. Also if you grew up...

Thanks for the review :) The layout work for Alchemist was not quite up to the standards I was hoping for and its been a sore point in most reviews. I can say that for the second PDF in the series, Witch's Brew, we have made significant improvements in the layout that are both easy on the eyes...

Hi Folks Sigfried Trent here, I'm the editer / publisher of the NBOF. Just wanted to chime in real quick. It would be great to get more feedback like this on our feats to help keep the Netbook as good as it can be. Since it is a living work we are always looking to make the feats better or...

The Netbook of Feats has updated our HTML version with 36 new feats. You can download or read it on line at www.netbookoffeats.org . Keep an eye out for our easy to print RTF version coming soon. Publishers: I have also played around with how we do our Section 15 and copyright notices. In...
