Well...a LGS in my Canadian city has the SF2E Player Core and GM Core preorders listed at $104 CDN. So I imagine when the Bestiary arrives it'll be an equivalent price, making for a GM's overall buy in cost of over $300 - ouch! The stores here in Canada that are focused more on online sales are...

I mainly just characterise them as TTRPGs that can give you a playing in a Fantasty world experience, similar to how D&D does. My gotos for alternatives are Dragon/Fantasy AGE, True20 and 13th Age. T20 and 13A both have a core d20 dice and T20 was derived from D&D 3e but still a very different...

Oh cool. Other than London, which cities in ths British Empire?

I've just started running 13A 1e for the 1st time in 4 years. I ran a 1-shot adventure (Wreck of Volund's Glory) for a group of my neighbors, of which only 1 had previous TTRPG experience. I'm running it in the Midgard World setting thanks to the terrific adaptation of the Midgard Bestiary and...

Other than TTRPG specific folders on my Windows desktop and laptop, with a typical organization of \adventures, \settings, \maps and \homebrewed content subfolders, I don't really have a management system. As a former software developer, I've been reading and creating PDFs since the early 90s...

I bought the Cuthulhu Dark Ages book and I'm tempted to get both Gaslight as a FLGS has them for good prices. My problem with CDA, is that it's a very England-centric treatment of the DAs and Gaslight seems to be the same. The Dark Ages campaign I homebrewed is set in France in the early DA's...

I'll have you know, I higly resemble that remark! :giggle:

For the WotC adventure maps, you need to buy the bundles on the D&D store, as those include both the printed and digital publications. As an example, here's the bundle for Dungeon Delves. IME though, it's not too big a problem if you only have the printed, as maps within the books can be...

Haven't been in that situation, but were I to be, SWADE would probably be my go-to. Mostly because I've homebrewed a lot for it and also have a decent library of 1st & 3rd party content for it, across virtually all genres. It's also one of the TTRPGs that I feel comforable creating NPC/Extras on...

If you're dealing with maps in a book, my most important advice is to get the equivalent PDF. For a PDF, there's a free utilty for Windows (don't know if it's available for Mac or Linux) called PDF Creator, which despite it's name also allows you to print out pages of a PDF as a JPG or PNG...

I prefer -or should probably say become interested when- a round of Ennies has some Best Game and Best Rules nominees that solidly support homebrewing. But I'm not getting a sense that's much of a focus of any of this years nominees. Well...maybe with the exception of the Momento Memori...

I only occasionally listen to LPs, so no I'm not a person that would buy a CRB or Players Handbook just to follow along. But in a round about way, that's sort of what I did with The Dark Eye CRB. Although I bought the book in advance, I started to watch some live plays due to it being near...

I likely won't run it, but I've been a fan of Kobold Press since they released their Northlands setting for PF1e. I bought a lot of their PF1e and 5e content for the Midgard World setting and ran 3 campaigns set there. I've wanted the ToV Players Guide, because having turned a number of players...

Well considering all 3, I wouldn't necessarily agree that Leverage or Firefly aren't distinct enough to justify their own TTRPG books. The problem with Tomb Raider IMO, is it falls squarely in the Foreign Adventure and Lost World pulp subgenres, and doesn't do much to raise itself out of them...

It might just be me, but I don't really see the need for a specific TTRPG that's tied to the Tomb Raider verse. That's partly because when I 1st returned to TTRPGs after a decade+ away, some of the 1st systems I explored were Savage Worlds+Thrilling Tales and True20. A few years earlier I'd...

I'd recommend having a look at the Mythras RPG. It's a d100 system with its own free to download setting of Thennla. Mythras is somewhat of a universal gaming engine, but being a descendent of Runequest 6 it's primarily targeted at Sword & Sorcery fantasy. There's no elves, dwarves or any...

As others have said, you just make variations on the 4 core classes to arive at what you want. F-Age (all AGE for that matter) inherits some of True20's DNA, with core classes being few and variable via player choices. Specializations and Talents are the way you tune a F-Age class. Talents in...

Yes, this is the case @ RPG.NET and why you're not allowed to discuss it there. I'm by no means savvy when it comes to OSR flavors of BECMI an B/X. That said, I've played Old-School Essentials a lot and my DMs have told me that the Advanced edition of the Players and Referees Tomes contiain the...
