Knife of Dreams is a banger, and Sanderson pullsit off. Enjoy!

That's what makes this feel like Greek Tragedy almost: I don't think Goodman shares Bledsaw's horrifying opinions, not for a second, but his desire for preservation is overpowering some other aspect of prudence here.

Haven't gone for it, since I have the B/X and Rules cyclopedia PDFs. Feels redundant.

Important historical context is that the "funnel" idea came in the wake of late atage 3.5 and Pathfinder becoming dominant after 4E fizzled, to offer a completely different take on making a characto complex builds. To be honest...the Basic/Expert vox sets are on the DMsGuild for cheap, and they...

Yeah, I mean, this is just a license to print money. People love dragon art.

Speaking to DCC more than Shadowdark...the rules actually state that they expect most people will just make characters like with other RPGs (the rules are easy, not really build based), with the funnel being sort of an exception to the norm Ansd the characters are entirely rolled up on a table...

OK, so, that was probably Final Fantasy 3...but that means it was really Final Fantasy 6.

The interesting thing about DCC was always that it is not a retroclone: it really is a 3E variant that is really answering the question of "OK, supposedly this game is supposed to generate narratives that look like classic low fantasy Swords & Sorcery fiction...how do we actually incentivize...

Not the poster, but I can confirm that Bledsaw did say that about Eisenhower "being a Jew" as part of some elaborate conspiracy to explain why Eisenhower was such a Communist or something...which was an actual John Birch Spciety talking point in the 1960s, these things do have their...

Strictly speaking, sure Judges Guild could easily be lying here. However, Goodman Games are the ones who put themselves in this position.

Oh, man, "I assume you are a fellow traveller" rants are horrifying. Particularly t work with a customer that I am supposed to be polite with......

It is a stupid cross to bear, but cannot say this is wrong from my point of view.

I won't fully engage in Bledsaw's bizarre take on "keeping politics out of gaming"... But as a member myself of the gender, racial and religous grouping he is claiming to be oppressed and being pushed out of the hobby...total horse hockey. Making gaming a diverse and safe place is not kicking...

Technically,Judges Guild shenanigans go back further, so I'd say it's more that NuTSR is Full Bledesaw... What a massive disappointment...

Really appreciate the work that went into these, it makes me very interested to get into the new Starter Set and see what you folks do with that in spite of not really needing a "beginners box" and having B2 Keep on the Borderlands already.

I do like those old blue-print maps quote a bit...but it makes sense to me that they chose to go with flasher maps for this release, as a vakue-add for people who still had the originals. Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, in particular, is interesting, because they are really just entirely new...

There is also no warehousing that needs to be cleared for digital products. And if you raise the price, you can juice sales by introducing deals once and a while...

They did a really good job juggling a couple big things here: preserving the parts thwt made these original modules memorable, translating them to playable 5E mechanics, and updating the really rather dated parts (Pyramid was changed quite a bit, with the help of an Egyptologist consultant for...

Princes of the Apocalypse had a suggestion to use the four Elements as deities instead of Domains for Dark Sun, IIRC, and use the standard PHB options to represent their themes. Do, a Light Domain Cleric of the Elemental Fire.

Depending on where it is, I believe that WotC is coming out with a number of translated editions in the next year or so.
