Basic Fantasy is a pretty good way to experience the OSR style of play. It's also easy on the pocketbook. I don't feel like I can trust either at this point. Regardless, as I have said elsewhere GG wanting to work with JG and "build bridges" sinks them in my book anyway.

My understanding is that rolls are only made for narratively complex actions. So, no need to make a check to ride your horse well, but if you are trying to ride your horse well while running from pursuers during a rainstorm then a check is probably going to be called for.

Not surprised by this statement at all. Bigotry disguised as patriotism. If this doesn't convince the fence-sitters that they shouldn't back this project then I'm not sure what else could.

Oh, niiice! Thanks for pointing that out, Reynard.

I enjoy it purely as a vehicle to play AD&D games. But I agree, Daggerheart seems like it was designed for my style of play.

I am looking at how to get my hands on a copy. I really like what I see and this game might push me to run/play in a game for the first time in over a decade.

I tend to wait until the end of a campaign. I think I only really have the full view of the game rules and the how and why of their design once I have seen them in action accross a decent amount of playtime. The only exception is if it's a rule that the group REALLY feels is hampering our...

Right? I was already a little bummed that my budget won't allow me to buy into the OSRIC crowdfunder, but I might sell some odds and ends to get my hands on Daggerheart. I haven't been so interested by a game in a long time!

Sorry! Wong name in my head. Lorraine Williams is who I mean! :D Kathleen Kennedy certainly has been vilified to an unfortunate degree and I think that's where my brain made the connection erroneously.

I completely agree! Up to this point, it doesn't appear that Kathleen Lorraine was as much of a monster as people made her out to be. The Blumes made some questionable decisions, but then again so did Gary. What this really makes me want is a second series of these, but for the post-Gary TSR...

Just finished all the episodes and the last episode had an interesting bit of information. I had absolutely no idea that Kathleen Kennedy Lorraine Williams and TSR offered to settle with Gary for $3,000/share AND ownership of the trademarks for D&D and AD&D! Wow! I have to say that Gary really...

It’s the front man of the RPG book. I’m not saying it’s going to be the reason people buy a book, but it certainly entices someone to take a look at something they might not have otherwise. Rolemaster is already fighting against the current, being a (relatively) rules intensive game compared...

You and I simply disagree on what makes cover art first-rate. No big deal, art is subjective.

The art for RMU. . . leaves a lot to be desired. ICE's outright refusal to crowdfun for better art doesn't help matters. Unfortunately, a lot of people need to be sold by the art of a product first before even looking at it further and the RMU art does itself no favors in that regard. It looks...

I'm not the target audience of something like this. During 3E our group collectively bought World's Largest City which was pretty cool, but we've never been interested in a megadungeon like this. I was semi-interested in the competition, but not on those terms. Oh well.

I always find anything earlier than 7PM to be too early. People have jobs, commutes, kids, and other errands to run after work. This is assuming the group primarily works 9-5 (or something like that).

Oh really? Nice! Thanks for letting me know!

Man, this came at the wrong time for me. I'm $10 from going negative month-to-month until the end of this year. Bummer. I wish this major success!

I've been working my way through these, thanks for bringing them to my attention Snarf! I think the thing that has stood out the most to me, compared to other accounts of TSR's history that I've read, is how much Gary was actually aware of in terms of the mismanagement and strategic corporate...

If so, that's great! Unfortunately, there is a lot of talk very similar to that quote that is said by apologists regarding different horrible views, almost verbatim. So, it doesn't fill me with much confidence regardless so I'd rather stay away and keep my conscience clean on the issue.
