    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    I was kinda wondering about that, I'm not sure how much coverage the Underdark will get in the FR: Sword Coast book? At the very least I would like to see some Underdark themed spells come out somewhere down the line.

    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    I saw it at indigo and bought it on the spot for cover price...ouch my wallet, I think it is closer to $40 on amazon.ca and indigo.ca than $32 though anyways here are my thoughts I posted in the enworld review section; "I really like the campaign elements of this book. The NPCs are colourful...

    Out of the Abyss

    4 out of 5 rating for Out of the Abyss I really like the campaign elements of this book. The NPCs are colourful and bizarre characters, they should work really well as allies or antagonists to the PCs, sometimes even both at the same time. The randomly generated encounters really make the...

    ORCUS! EXCLUSIVE! ESCAPIST!

    I totally agree, Orcus' place in D&D has always been as a very top tier monster who can still be challenged by PCs using their usual tactics, I don't think he has ever been a gimmicky almost "narrative combat" monster like the Tarrasque or a god like Tiamat. He wishes he was that powerful but...

    [UPDATED] Dark Horror Fantasy in Robert Schwalb's SHADOW OF THE DEMON LORD

    Ill give my first impression because it is going to take me longer to process this book as a whole, learn the system, read the lore and all that. My immediate thoughts while flipping through the book was that it wasn't what I thought it would be... The cover of the book and the art that was...

    Trapdoor Tech is Back With A Pathfinder iOS Application!

    I have wanted to like Trapdoors offerings for their GUI from the very beginning but they have just never felt functional, with D&D the beta was just nowhere near ready, it would bug out every time, now with Pathfinder it just doesn't feel like the content/functionality is there. This outing...

    Free HELL'S REBELS Player's Guide

    This looks neat, do the official pathfinder modules advance the canon of Golarion when they are done, like if the main ending of Hell's Rebels is the overthrow of House Thrune will that show up as the state of the world in future Pathfinder modules?

    AMA with Monte Cook (Numenera, D&D, Monte Cook Games, Malhavoc Press)

    Hi, Do you think there will be a setting expansion for Numenera that presents a more "organised" corner of the ninth world, something that really draws me to a setting is when you can see the relationships between the different factions and nations on a large scale rather than just presenting...

    A New Kickstarter From Monte Cook Games!

    The art for Numenera is beautiful...except for the pieces that aren't. I would say it is 80% beautiful like you say, 10% just amateurish enough to stand out in comparison to the rest of the book, and 10% oh man why did you put that in the book...is that 90's Reboot CG? I think a lot of middle...

    A New Kickstarter From Monte Cook Games!

    Yeah the variety the system offers is pretty great, I just wish it tied these diverse areas and ideas together a little better, maybe a little more like Golarion. The Ninth World is more of a plot hook dartboard than a setting.

    A New Kickstarter From Monte Cook Games!

    I'm gonna watch this kickstarter, but I have some slowly growing qualms about Numenera as a game line. Despite being set in the "Ninth World" my biggest frustration with Numenera is that it really doesn't have a cohesive setting in any way. Strip away any mentions to the Ninth World and it...

    RPG Design & Arduous Research

    This is really interesting, what's going to be your criteria to say, "well my math says this vehicle should have this stat, but common misconceptions or just plain cool factor says give it a big boost"?

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] SOUTHLANDS HEROES - New Character Options for D&D From The Folks Who Made TYRANNY O

    I think the key is to look and decide whether a race would be stylistically compromised if you don't give them a certain potent feature. For example take races like minotaurs and goliaths, yes they are probably on the very upper edge of medium but their defining features are more than just their...

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] SOUTHLANDS HEROES - New Character Options for D&D From The Folks Who Made TYRANNY O

    Goliaths have always been Med I think, and the minotaur in the Unearthed Arcana was from Dragonlance where again they are Med.

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] SOUTHLANDS HEROES - New Character Options for D&D From The Folks Who Made TYRANNY O

    I posted some of the same concerns as you on the kickstarter page and in a direct message. I get the feeling this is just a case of a editor maybe not being familar enough with 5e to recognize the issues. Hopefully this isn't how the bestiary translation will be handled, Im looking for 5e...

    Check Out These Postcards From The Abyss: Meet The 8 Demon Lords of RAGE OF DEMONS

    I don't recognize it myself, could be all new art it is very much the same style, maybe even the same artist.

    VAMPIRE Gets A 4th MASQUERADE From Onxy Path!

    The 2nd edition of New WoD comes pretty close to being the WoD equivalent of 5e D&D already. But apparently that's not the system they are going to be using for Masquerade 4e, at some point in the past they probably should have bit the bullet and said "Ok we understand that there are fans who...

    VAMPIRE Gets A 4th MASQUERADE From Onxy Path!

    I sometimes wonder how much cannibalization/confusion these multiple systems create for each other. I have pretty much decided that I am going stick to 2e New WoD to the exclusion of everything else just for my own sanity in having a consistent rule set, as much as I like some elements of Old...

    VAMPIRE Gets A 4th MASQUERADE From Onxy Path!

    Yep this is about right, CCP absorbed White Wolf and moved/retrained a lot of their staff so they could move onto the development of the WoD video game. Eventually though White Wolf ceased to be its own entity and Richard Thomas a former White Wolf art director started Onyx Path which licensed...

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] SOUTHLANDS HEROES - New Character Options for D&D From The Folks Who Made TYRANNY O

    I totally agree, it's nice we are getting some more 5e player options, these ones in particular though just don't have enough polish and consistent formatting to set any sort of standard for what these third party player options should look like.
