There's a lot I could say on this topic and I intend to respond to some specifics of others thoughts. Here's some of mine: A1: Each of my game designs should have its own set of design principles/goals. (Otherwise why make a new game? The "A"s below are other apriori items.) A2: Mechanics and...

I don't feel like scaling at all levels is useful. I do like how Pendelhaven Publishing scaled both their Creatures of Fairy-tale and Myth 5e and Creatures of Fairy-tale and Myth for Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok. Both have configurations for all 50 or so monsters at 5 different tiers. Those...

Ah . . . thanks for letting me know. Corrected!

Skerples has already started work on "The Treasure Overhaul" which seems pretty sweet. His two most recent blog posts on Coins and Scrolls cover it and provide a couple downloads. My own recent big project was launching an indie RPG distributor in the UK to match the one I run in Canada ;) So...

Alright, so I am pretty much saying it here first: There are 84 copies of the The Monster Overhaul that have just landed in the UK (actually 90 but 6 are already claimed). We expect to have them in our hands mid-week. You can order from The Monster Overhaul This is also the best place to order...

I spent the some of the day setting up a reward program for the RPG Marketplace I run. So people can earn points on any PDF purchase and then redeem those points towards other titles. You also earn reward points for sending someone else a e-gift card like say your GM buddies. Details...

Nice. We (Compose Dream Games) carries Spire and Heart here in Canada and will probably be doing the Canadian fulfillment for Dagger in the Heart. There shipping graphic (at the bottom of the backerkit page) doesn't include Canada at the moment but would probably be more in line with Aus+NZ...

4 Ontario and Quebec based publishers have crowdfunders which started in February 2024. If you know other Canadian projects funding sound off. Solo Martial Blues (Radio James Games, James Kerr) Orillia, ON -- Ends March 3rd https://crowdfundr.com/solo-martial-blues This one breaks the mold by...

Rowan, Rook and Decard have joined the marketplace with their award winning Spire: This City Must Fall and Heart: The City Beneath, as well as Rhapsody of Blood and Goblin Quest! I had come across "Sean Bean Quest" somewhere online a few years ago. You all play a series of Sean Beans who...

I read that section on Divine recently as well and found it really solid. I also like how pretty much all the giants you could want are compressed into two entries (Giant and Giant, Noble -- on facing pages no less!) Does something similar with the Orge entry, where Bugbears, Lesser Ettins...

Oh man, The 13th Fleet, that's been so tempting but I haven't got to it yet. Glad to hear you had a great time with it. I should check if they are going to be making it out to Game-Itoba at the end of January. Let's see what did I play? Ran a couple games of WILD: Wake Initiated Lucid Dreaming...

The one I am aware of is "Sig: City of Blades." This is a planescape like setting "where eternal planes and infinite primes meet." You pick one of the 5 major factions and help them increase their power and influence. You are "clever spies, renegade sorcerers and reckless smugglers." You can...

I have it sitting on the shelf behind me, but I never played or ran it. It's right next to 1e Temple of Elemental Evil, got The Hermit from my local FLGS. It suffered from the July 2002 release date a little (edition change) and apparently my copy was printed here in Canada. I think it's one of...

I'd buy those. Now to read the PDFs! Fight to Survive is a mundane martial arts game. It and Ross Rifles (Canadians in the trenches of world war 1) both sell quite well for us. Shadows of the Past is a brand new historical game. I am very fond of Centurion: Legionaries of Rome. Lonely Timbers...

The 2nd printing just arrived with us (Compose Dream Games) and our pre-orders are already out the door. As noted before, we get them first because they are printed here in Canada. I should really make sure to get one for myself this time around . . .

For some reason this discussion really makes me want to try and adapt some form of "real time" action like in Space Cadets https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/142079/space-cadets-dice-duel to an RPG. Each player rolls specialized dice at a furious pace and assigns them to parts of the ship...

I feel like I should add that in Hackmaster's count up system you can always change what you are doing. -- Want to change your position to benefit and ally? Go for it (this may push back your attack by a second). Want to abandon your current strategy/weapon/spell to go with a different one? Go...
