I like Dice Pool systems. Being able to increase the number of dice rolled gives the feel of significant character improvement, and I like the statistics behind the number of successes you can generate with increasing the pool of dice rolled.

"Too historically accurate" for me. I.e. I believe the author claimed how historically accurate it was. It contained racism, misogyny, hate and anal circumference measurements. If that's historical accuracy then there was too much of it in the game for my tastes.

I think my opinion on what constitutes low fantasy is different to yours. I see D&D as high fantasy because you are expected to collect magic items as you advance levels, and you need magical healing and easily get it with a cleric. Whereas WFRP doesn't give out magical weapons like candy (if...

For starting characters WFRP is low fantasy. I played 1E for two years and only got to a 2nd career, and still no magic items, the wizard's apprentice fearful of casting spells and no healing. Our characters were at risk of random goblin with dagger getting a lucky blow in and ending our lives...

Even with magic user careers, I would consider WFRP 1E (or any edition) low fantasy (in comparison to D&D). I remember looking at the 1E wizard careers and the spell casting rules and thinking how hard it is to be a spell caster and as a consequence my first WFRP character was a Dwarf Pit...

There is no debacle. C7 decided that they could not publish TOR 2E for reasons they have not revealed. SG will therefore look for another publishing partner as they have indicated they want 2E published. Not sure why any of the owners of the rights would care about a delay with the publishing...

I too am looking forward to this game, but are there any indications that it will be published in 2020?

"The One Force"?

RPG publishing is not that profitable. C7 will be paid for the work that its done else any rights of that work (writing, artwork, etc) won't be transferred therefore won't be able to be used in the product that is eventually published. So such speculation is merely implying wrongdoing that is...

I'm surprised Scion doesn't appear in the Fantasy list. Signs of Sorcery appears both in Fantasy and Modern and I'd consider Scion both a Fantasy and Modern genre game in the same way Signs of Sorcery has been considered by its publisher.

I'm not suggesting not allowing multiple genres, but perhaps having one selected as the main genre. Although I do acknowledge the difficulty with games such as Shadowrun.

I only have one "Star Wars" rpg at the moment - Scum and Villainy. So I guess that's my answer.

I think drivethru should have a main genre for a game for the purpose of working out "best-selling". (and perhaps other stats) I'm not sure the utility of allowing as many genres as possible to be selected when a game wouldn't be viewed as that genre by purchasers. As examples: Dragon-Blooded...

I have a couple of nominations. Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying by Free League Publishing (Fria Ligan). Heart: The City Beneath RPG by Rowan, Rook & Decard. I'm not sure about when Exalted Essence (Onyx Path) will actually be released, but if its 2020 then there will be a lot of people...

Part of the attraction of WFRP is that the Career write-ups also help detail the setting of the Old World.

I was OK with the original cover art. This new one is OK as well. As far as I understand it so far, the rules aren’t being changed but they’re being presented to be less messy, and likely the points for the Tiers recosted so you can actually create a Tier 3 character by using the arrays given...

Castle Falkenstein. Loved the setting, hated using cards for the system.

What about the Trudvang Rules? Are they good? Are they bad? Are they chocolate?

No I have not. I think I want to. I think there is a system I would like to use. I think I know what genre it would be. But there it ends. Lack of time, an inability to turn the thoughts into words, all conspire against me.

I thought this is how people deal with death in RPGs. Did Jack Chick lie to me?
