"Mediaeval", my good Sir.

80 numbers, published weekly... if it ever really reaches number 80, it will already be full One D&D time. Scratching my head on this. And it will be quite an amount of money. £ 630,20 for the full collection, £ 747,20 if you go premium. I wonder how many dice sets can justify that!

I deeply despise the format, if just for the insane amount of useless paper and thick cardboard necessary for it. The increased cost for less (in this case, useful) pages is just the negative icing on the cake. I love that they're revisiting old, weirder, whimsical settings, but wasted paper...

The product description says 128 pages.

Is this an example of a review, to go along with your previous articles? Otherwise, I'm a bit puzzled about its inclusion as a front page article here on EN World, considering that it's only tangentially relative to the site.

There are many, many systems out there which aren't 5E, nor PbtA. Most of them pretty good. Or exceptional. And most people have always said that they wouldn't play anything else outside of D&D. That's quite an historical trend in rpg circles. Having said that... the list of powers and...

I'm probably going to be at the upper limit of me-as-mean, but, while I completely distance myself from those comments on the livestream and I do think that threats should be persecuted, I also do think that this kind of overreaction had to be expected: she went down the same rabbit hole she's...

Not definitely. He said the Guests of GaryCon will be announced shortly.

I guess they are so full of their ego that they literally thought no one would ever stand up against them, so they started doing more and more missteps, leaving their flanks exposed. I mean, she proudly used that "Queen of D&D" title like it was something real. They even managed to organise a...

Is there a reason this story hasn't already reached the News status? Seems quite relevant and has some potentially huge impact.

The dice mechanic sounds more and more awful every time I read about it. Inserting narrative ideas in the rules can be really good, but it must applied wisely. And this one isn't even a narrative mechanic, it's just a geek nod that actually makes the system more cumbersome and less intuitive.

This game seems to pose itself in the ideaspace between Cthulhu Invictus and Lex Arcana.

Not yet. Holmgard Press has just started to publish the Definitive Edition of the gamebooks, so it could still require some time before the rpg gets a new start. But, as far as I know, it is not an abandoned project.

Most superhero rpg books don't come out directly from Marvel. Which is Disney. The majority of rpg publishers have an art budget that's not even a blink in the eye of Marvel!

I'm... not impressed. These are the best covers Marvel, of all things, could conceive for its in-house new rpg?

Avatar is hardly more popular than Lord of the Rings. So that's not that. As I've said, there are many factors.

That still doesn't explain a lot. I mean, Magpie is good, but it certainly isn't Fria Ligan, in terms of RPG design recognition. Some KS get unexplainable, awesome magic behind them and this is the best example ever in the RPG category.

Lovely how they cite Cursed City as a sell-out, considering they under-printed it...

It's a ground-up rewrite of the d10s dice poll mechanic, being at the same time familiar and engineered to use a more modern, narrative-focused resolution mechanic. You can read about the basic resolution engine of the Storypath System here, so you can get a better idea: DriveThruRPG.com .

I was somehow assuming you were talking about the replies, LOL... but still, they could be really classified as contemporaries. He's the lead designer, if I'm not wrong.
