From my understanding, so were Paramount.

We’ll have to see what the system will be like, but I am heartened to know that, regardless of the core system used, the rules for politics and intrigue will be treated as important as those for knife fighting. Big Tick.

Well, it’s about playing children, so I can’t see why not.

Greek is to Rome what the UK is to the USA today.

Greek mythology, which has been neglected a bit previously in the RPG hobby, seems to be becoming all the rage right now.

Unlikely, I think. Modiphius’ licence is just with Vampire: The Masquerade. Onyx Path Publishing are probably busy with publishing what they have at the moment, and this includes the Chronicles of Darkness lines (and others too). The various 20th Anniversary books are essentially done, as far...

There’s not just one version of Monopoly, these days, and there is a lot of clever marketing that goes into designing new versions.

The Mongoose sub-forum is not given much promotion on the COTI site - located beneath the highlighted Cepheus forums as part of the ‘Other Versions of Traveller’. And, as I say, the forum I’ve experienced is largely hostile to Mongoose Traveller, Mongoose itself and fans of Mongoose Traveller...

In the case of Apocalypse World, they only seem to sell through a very small number of trusted vendors - which would account for this. Monster of the Week, I’m sure, has a bigger distribution. However, what is notable is that PbtA games seem to feature big at Conferences, despite having little...

We discussed this earlier in the thread, I think, but Mindjammer is the only one currently. 2300AD is due out later this year, and will be published by Mongoose too. There are some 3rd party ‘community’ releases on drivethrurpg, although most of these are set in the OTU too. However, I would...

Well it’s an opinion about the quality of the 3rd party stuff. Spica and Gypsy Knight produced a range of products, but for me personally, it’s not anything compelling enough to make me rush out to buy them in all honesty - in the same way I found with most 3rd party D20 stuff too. The product...

I did regard the presence of V5 in the Top 5, for three consecutive quarters, as a big explanation for Modiphius choosing to publish the license, despite White Wolf folding after a difficult year. For White Wolf, who may have been hoping to recapture the whole WoD market they controlled in...

My sympathy with third party publishers and IP protection only goes so far when they’ve not actually paid a penny for the license to publish Traveller materials. They can publish under their own OGL-based brand as they like, but I can’t see how Mongoose or Marc Miller are obliged to provide them...

Chaosium were pretty reluctant buddies with WotC, truth be told, and it was Wizards who did most of the pushing to get a D20 version of the game made. Chaosium were more skeptical and felt D20 was targeted at a younger audience than they usually catered for. The Pulp Cthulhu supplement was...

Notably, there is a Supers supplement in the works for the Pulp Cthulhu line - which gives most people the clue for the direction it takes.

The original plan was to split the core game into two separate core books - one for the players, one for the Keepers. In play-testing, however, there was an outcry about having this approach, and the plan was changed so that the game could be played from one book alone, as in previous editions...

Having been playing Masks of Nyalathotep with Pulp Cthulhu rules this past year, it must be noted that the context of the game is changed substantially from previous, and the Luck points tend to dominate proceedings. While some like the spending resource as a mechanic, it has made the game feel...

There is nothing unreasonable in this review at all. I do think the product works for newbies pretty well though still. However, I do feel that the game-as-it-was, previous to 7E, actually offered more easy-to run, quality adventures in the core rules alone, that a starter set was probably...

That’s right. They just used the original data.

Yep. One of the main reasons why Mongoose Traveller 2nd has improved is they are really working hard on making well produced, attractive box sets for some quite diversely different campaigns. So Elemental Class Cruisers is what you want if you want something like Star Trek. Pirates of Drinax is...
