Looks amazing and very comprehensive. How well do they interact with the changes in Van Rechiten's?

In regards this not being Planescape, I understand the disappointment as someone who would like new Planescape materials. it does make me feel as if we are not getting any, as this "covers those bases" possibly. However. really what do I need new Planescape material to cover? In terms of fluff...

Feels like a good entry lvl product, especially for new DMs, so while not for me, I am in favor of it.

Really what you need concern yourself with is NPCs that are either named or have a speaking roll. Demographics have their place but end up becoming background numerical noise. I have struggled with demographics regarding sentient races ins campaigns before, ie how many Elves, Dwarves, ect and it...

To clarify: I'm just talking about the size of singular books. Not a total page count of a game spread among multiple releases.

I'm well aware there is a variety of offered formats. I'm just speaking to huge books. Example. Coyote and Crow clocks in at nearly 500pgs. I am really drawn to the concepts and ethos of its creation but woof thats a big ol' book.

So I am all for value, and I can see the appeal of having all you need for a game in a single book. But am I the only person who finds that some of these honestly huge hardcovers, clocking in over 350pgs, are just too big? Like, too large to be practical? I know there are digital options, and I...

The premise is intriguing. I do like games to have a hook. Modern Fantasy? OK, but plenty of that out there. So havign this specific concept has potential.

Also: Check out of a game that interest you ever released anything for free RPG day. Can give you a free glimpse into the overall game.

It is larger than the scope of this discussion, but there is another reason why there is a need for open, vocal acknowledgement of these failing of Baker. Geek spaces have a under-addressed Fascism problem.

Suggestion: Take up a pool from your regular gaming group, purchase the starter and see if it jams with you all. If so, donate it along and pick up the book.

I agree, if perhaps slightly different in tone. Respectfully. To put it simply: It is not acceptable to be a Nazi. It is not acceptable to admire the Nazis and model your views after them, even in part. And in addition: It is not acceptable to be OK with some people being Nazis or admiring...

I'm warry of people who feel the need to defend scoundrels. You can tell someone's moral vision by whom they give the benefit of the doubt. Parallels to Lovecraft are obvious and are worth exploring. I am not going to claim to know much of anything about Barker or Tekumel, and for me as a...

This was very thoughtful and helpful. Thank you.

New Theory: The 90s are all the rage, so...

I hope they learned that I don't want an unusually sized/shaped box that cant fit easily in my existing shelves...

I get that this is in jest, but I mean, the market is hypersaturated. Niche products have the best chance to attract at least some audience share. I'm all in on DnD 5e, so I dont bother with nearly any other Fantasy RPG unless the concept or the ruleset is really, really interesting.

I've learned to be wary of corp-speak. Could be a boxed set with contents that are different that previous attempts. Thus far, haven't all boxed sets for 5th been for Starter sets of some sort or other?
