When OA came out in the 80s, Ninjas were of course big in the US, which would culminate with TMNT popularity into the 90s. As a 10 yr old with the book, I loved it. I had no frame of comparison for how inaccurate it was culturally or how insulting its assumptions and assertions were for many...

Truth be told, OA wasn't aimed at Asian markets. It was squarely aimed at the core US gamer base and it of course shows for the time.

Wait.... TSR passed on doing a Lodoss War setting? Feels on brand.

So is part of the issue the timing of the Kickstarter. 2024 and the mixed reception release for DnD'24 had people hungry for alternatives. And we got a lot of high profile attempts to push into the DnD space. Draw Steel. Daggerheart. Tales of the Valiant. And yeah, they all had to compete for...

I might just need those dice, though I do have a blood splatter dice set already.... choices choices.

I like what I am seeing. Keeps things very stripped down and simple mechanically.

So I am curious. This is labeled as a Chaosium product on a WotC platform. Curious to know how much Chaoium worked on this or is it just brand synergy?

I picked up Sany Peterson's Cthulhu Mythos a couple years ago which seems much more exhaustive than this. So even though I'm an avid CoC player, probably not picking this one up anytime soon.

Real Talk, I don't see the cover when it' on my shelf, just the spine.

The chips I got when visiting my Grandmother, made in beef tallow, which always ran the risk of burning down her kitchen, were objectively the best. Skinned potato, soaked in water then thick cut, dried, and into the fryer. Not from frozen. Closest match is the steak fries. But yeah, best chips.

Same. Not sure I will get these, as I am not looking to run a FR campaign in the immediate future, but FOMO is real and I get the alt covers whenever possible.

I somehow doubt he gets a cut.

... Early in the Morn-ing

Only if the client's didn't desire that.

I think the better measure is being a successful professional GM, as in, you successfully get clients who pay you with some regularity. That that is about more than learning to be a GM.

So some more on this. My misgivings are mostly as an educator. Obviously this isnt actually a Uni course with proper rigor or depth. It's only 4 days long. It's a seminar. Now, I'm not claiming you can't learn thing at a seminar. I just don't think it is much more than another DnD vacation...

I mean, I would be sorely tempted.

deeply mixed feelings on this.

It's a good example of how any game analysis is goin to be through the lens of one's own preferences. There can't ever be an objectively best adventure. For me, Lot Mines is likely the best starter experience I have seen for DnD period. But that is because it has features and elements I think a...

I will admit that because of my long held love of Keep on the Borderlands I was thinking of getting this update, but for this price point, I would have to wait for a deep discount to fell it was worth it.
