Interesting that the list breaks down the elven nations but not the dwarven ones (or the human ones). But the list is more or less to be expected.

We aren't launching the Kickstarter until after the product is 100% done. I've backed enough Kickstarters to understand both the frustrations of waiting for a product (along with the all-too-common delays), and how nice it is to just get the stuff fast. I'd like our first Kickstarter to have as...

I never used the promotion forum here. It didn't really seem to be all that advantageous, since it's not going to catch many random eyes. But maybe I'm wrong. Sounds like I might've been once.

As someone who is planning a Kickstarter campaign in the near-ish future, I really appreciate this post and story. My own product won't be nearly the scale of yours - 20-30 pages, black and white, I'll handle the art in addition to the writing - and since it's not for 5e it has basically no...

My vote is for Hyperboria or Dungeon Crawl Classics. Both will take a bit of work (or not, depending on how you want to approach it and how bogged down you want to get), but I think both will capture what you're looking for.

Like a mix of Evermore and Lover IMO, yes. Kind of.

Midnights is different - much more electronic, which I'm sure isn't news to you. But it feels to me very much a companion piece to the previous two, and I dig it.

I'm a fan of weird fantasy, but honestly part of what I like is that it easily incorporates so many other styles. Sword & Sorcery, horror, Lovecraftian twists, high fantasy, sci-fi - it's all there, and it all works easily and believably.

The 3.5 DMG also removed the sidebar on making multiclass 1st level characters, which always made me sad. I really don't like the a la carte leveling system of WotC era D&D, mostly because it means no 1st level character can be multiclassed. That sidebar was the last attempt they made to...

The new Taylor Swift album is fantastic, and so are the two she put out in 2020. For my money the best of the lot is Evermore (the second of the 2020 albums), but that might just be my state of mind at the moment. KMFDM also put out a new record in September, and it's really good. They're...

A similar experience years ago led tome realizing I VASTLY prefer a small group - 3 PCs was my max for a long time. The stakes seems bigger and the victories more inspiring. A small group also has to make different tactical choices, since (as your group also discovered), numbers are a real...

The best game ever is Dungeon Crawl Classics. It's innovative, flexible, and fast. Unless you're the type who is either a) afraid to make stuff up or b) needs to be able to take a different class every time you level up, DCC will wow you. And even if you fall into camps a) or b) above, give...

My coworkers are almost all young enough to be my children, and I was shocked when three of them got REALLY excited when I told them about this game. One of the three I didn't even know played TTRPGs at all - he never mentioned it, even when the rest of us talked about it around him. The kids...

I will probably never play this game. I'm unlikely to even read it all the way through. But I'm backer #20, and one of an ever-expanding roster of Upper Class Twits. I couldn't help it.

Really? Huh. I don't remember that. Of course, I reread the Chronicles and Legends once every couple of years, and I don't think I've read Summer Flame since 1998 or so, so that could explain it.

Ehh. It knows how I feel.

Given everybody's thoughts here, I figured I'd fish out that digest-sized book I have and give it another shot. Unfortunately, it's a single, dinky-ass sized book on a shelf full of full size books. I couldn't find it! 😂 True story, by the way. It's just also an amusing anecdote.

That's OK.

Elistan wasn't a cleric until Goldmoon, though. In fact, he was an adamant heretic, dying of some malady. She healed him, and thus converted him to her teachings. He then went on to become the head of the new church of Paladine.
