During the summer i read the Kobold guide to game design and found it a very pleasant and interesting! Wolfgang Baur approach is very helpful and i found very often aligned with his thoughts! It is not a recent book (i believe the current one is the 3rd edition) but i do reccomend it.

Great editing job here, congrats! I can understand what is behind as i am doing the same for my game... It seems smtg stupid but it is not and, moreover, it takes a hell of time! Sorry if i ask you about such details but i am interested in knowing the printing options provided by Lulu (i am...

Well, you can have even the other way round: this would be interesting to my eyes instead! I mean: instead of playing D&D you can have fun to play a "tweaked" version of it... That's the main idea of the OSR movement...

My reccomendation is to take some pics and post them at the Acaeum boards.

...well, welcome in the collectors' market! This is where you find OD&D woodgrain editions sold between 5000$ and 15000$ according to the print run! (And this is only one of the many examples!) I am (even if i try to get out of it) one of those crazy fellows... I am not shocked by the price of...

Mine are: A. 25€ B. 35€ C. 45€ D. I do not buy pdf (they have no value for my standards) I would also like to add two points: 1. I am aware of the differences between literature and RPG but it would be interesting running the same survey for books and see why RPGs are always more expensive...

I posted my thought about your request on a different thread so that i won't bring OT this one... However i have a question about your original question: what are you looking for in a 100-page game? Hereby a summary of what you could/couldn't find in it (not exhaustive): Rules only (pure...

This morning i wanted to post a thought on this thread which draw my interest: https://www.enworld.org/threads/best-favorite-thin-rpg-core-book.691438/page-1 But then I thought i would have gone OT because of a "parallel thought" not centered on the discussion: I am aware that this is a...

I am with you, Snarf! You have all my shympaty! You could not take a better decision. I wish i will meet you on other boards as i enjoyed reading you!

I got an update from Drivethru last week (iirc) where there was a new guideline for submissions with artworks AI generated. It is now necessary to disclose the presence of AI art at the submission but (...there is always a "but"!) in case the outcomes of the AI are significantly post-edited...

Ahhh... So it is a 5E thing! Ok, since i don't know anything about 5E setting, i do understand it only now... Apologies if i missed this detail!

I am not sure what is the First world... This is the first time i read this term with the capital letter. I am sure that Blackmoor pre-existed any other setting as it was the very first setting ever made up (and eventually it has been published by Judges Guild as "First Fantasy Campaign"... Omen...

PS ...and let me add: with your needs i would be really pleased to have you as a playtester!!!

I am currently writing it! Please be patient and in a month or two I will publish a playtest edition of the core rules! Then will follow the expanded rules and the setting...

Well, the poll doesn't include the very first setting of rpg history, Blackmoor. I would have voted for it... But given what someone has done in the past with the revamping of Blackmoor for 3.5, i prefer not to see any further re-edition of the gems of the past (for the announcment of a new...

This is what is also present in all the previous editions... It has not changed over time. And this is what i have always found a leak in D&D... And this is notwithstanding the illuminated concept Gygax had since the very beginning (there is an article in the Strategic Review which show how...

This is where i ended as well: in the game i am writing there are 4 alignments and they are not defined as a single concept, they are areas where a character can move from an extreme position (like the utmost-evil) to mild ones up to the opposite (like the light-evil mentioned above)... This...

What about the retroclones/OSR? Are these games not material, or are they somehow "out of scope" (meaning they are included in the "label" d&d)? There are at least a couple of titles that are worth to be mentioned in terms of market size...

Funny: it is nor AI neither internet... We are racist, sexist and so forth... This is the true finding... I wonder what could be the first though of AI about us once it will be able to think...
