    Gygax IP To Be Made Available For Video Games

    This... thing... it looks bad from a distance. Are there really people out there interested in investing or buying in high enough quantity a digital version of Lejendary Adventures or Castle Zygag? The Gary Gygax Trust doesn't have the rights to anything D&D related, except for a (perhaps!)...

    News Digest: Dungeon Fantasy New Release, #AprilTTRPGMaker, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Release Date,

    I guess we mean the same thing, more or less. They own the system, the proprietary dice, and the text (except for any specific Warhammer term, I guess), but they don't own the IP nor the title of the game.

    News Digest: Dungeon Fantasy New Release, #AprilTTRPGMaker, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Release Date,

    I actually don't think FFG still has the rights to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd edition, as, AFAIK, Games Workshop withdrew all rights from them a couple of years ago. Yet, it's quite possible they own the system and the special dice, as they are at the core of the various Star Wars RPGs...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Announces Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    I'm certainly not an expert, but looking at your wishlist, I suggest to you to take a good look at the recent "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed of" by Modiphius. It seems to me it should scratch almost all of your itches.

    Palladium Announces Collapse of Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter

    Generally speaking, I simply heard that the quality isn't particularly good. But, regarding the backers? They've already got whatever Wave 1 items they wanted; they certainly don't deserve to pay shipping expenses to get more of the same they didn't even ask for.

    Palladium Announces Collapse of Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter

    It's not that easy. Licenses mean a lot of material going back and forth for approval; mean that you want to perhaps use official pictures, but you lose more time choosing which ones, together with the licensor; mean a lot of legal questions even before you sign the contract; mean more seriously...

    Palladium Announces Collapse of Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter

    Well, let's just hope Harmony Gold doesn't get to renew their licence in turn, when it will end in 2021. I don't think anyone will try to pick up a licence for a Robotech RPG, given such a limited timeframe: even in best case scenario, a new RPG wouldn't be out before next year and, as such...

    Palladium Announces Collapse of Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter

    No, there's no hope at all. License pulled=any production immediately ceased. And that also means that any back catalogue must be destroyed, which is telling of this whole Kickstarter fiasco; I'm not even a backer, but I can still clearly see the horrible customer mistreatment behind this last...

    AngusA: For some reason, you ended up putting in some pics from the incoming "The cities of Magnamund" Kickstarter in the "Keyring RPG" covering. Same publisher, different Kickstarters (and one has yet to begin).

    A Change Is Coming...

    I will largely err on the side of caution if talking of non - professional third party 5e books when we have things like "Adventures in Middle - Earth" from Cubicle 7 (just to cite the elephant in the room)!

    PopTen's Top 10 Geek Gods Includes Gygax, Salvatore, and Livingstone

    Apart from the fact that (science) fantasy tabletop miniature wargame is hardly more niche than RPGs (while it's true that many, many concepts introduced by the like of D&D has been highly influential on the videogame industry) - in fact I would say it's the other way around -, Jackson and...

    Here Are Your Official Top 10 Most Anticipated Tabletop RPGs Of 2018

    Morrus: Legend of the Five Rings 5th Edition won't use the classical Roll and Keep dice (d10s) pool system of the previous four editions, but a modified Roll and Keep with proprietary, narrative dice (with 6 or 12 sides), similar - but not identical - to those introduced by Warhammer Fantasy...

    Morrus: Paladin: Warriors of Charlemagne, is not out yet, not even for the backers, as far as I can tell. Delta Green has the Handler's Guide out in PDF. City of Mist has the Starter Set out in both psysical and PDF form and the Core Rulebook out in PDF. Correct about World of Lazarus being a...

    Cubicle 7 Wants You To Speak, Friend, Then Enter

    To put an end to fan's speculation, this is Jon Hogdson officially speaking (writing?) on the C7 forum: "Good morning! To clear up some confusion: We're taking a modular approach to the rules sections and soaking the accompanying cost ourselves. So you will get rules for both systems, and...
