Personally I love the feel of 2nd Edition, at least what 2nd Edition became. To my mind the difference in tone and style between what 1E and 2E is that in 1E was very much gritty dungeon crawls, characters who are out to kill monsters and take their stuff, whereas 2E feels much more like heroic...

This is the 2nd article on Mythras I have seen on ENworld, and neither one of them has mentioned Classic Fantasy, which is the full supplement for playing essentially D&D in the d100 system of Mythras/RuneQuest. This product would be a natural bridge between the community ENworld represents and...

This was a lovely read, thank you for your contributions to our shared passion Ed. I have a bookshelf full of Realms products (the 2nd Edition ones are my favorites, that era really nails the feel of the setting), and will forever be grateful for sharing your wonderful detailed world with us.

I really dont understand these art choices. They should be evocative of the setting and dripping with flavor. A proper Dragonlance setting book would feature something like a Knight of Solamnia, a Wizard of High Sorcery, and a Kender all standing in front of the High Clerists Tower with a...

You know what would be an instant buy from me, a well done AD&D 2nd Edition retroclone with evolutions. There is a metric ton of Basic clones, several 1E ones, but for 2E there is For Gold & Glory (which is basically like OSRIC, just an index and clean presentation of 2E as is), and the utterly...

Does this game allow me to play a Space Marine Librarian? Preferably of either the Salamanders or Ultramarines.

Isn't there a new edition of Pendragon coming out next year?

Theres no need for a revision to the ranger class as a whole, just the Beastmaster specifically. Make a new version of the Beastmaster that fixes the animal companion and all is well.

Looking good, I've never played a Warhammer RPG before (despite knowing a decent amount about the setting), this will be my on ramp for WFRP. Cant decide between a High Elf Wizard or a Human Warrior Priest of Sigmar for my first character.

Its funny how different peoples experiences are. For us Charisma was a pretty-useful-but-not-great stat, about in the middle between those who declare it a total dump stat and those proclaiming it a god stat. Our DM used the NPC reaction adjustment rolls on the regs, and we did a lot of...

Strangely, given the platform of this review, that it doesn't make mention of what might be the biggest draw for Mythras with the ENWorld crowd, the Classic Fantasy supplement, which is a Mythras product that takes D&D and elegantly melds it with the d100 system, and actually does so quite...

This would be the exact opposite of the Warcraft scenario, which most WC fans loved, but the general public didn't understand it and/or couldn't get into it.

Sadly I have to agree. As someone whos never played GURPS but would be intrigued by this product, this review felt like 1/3 nostalgia trip, 1/3 background info, 1/3 disappointment rant. I'm sure the author is a lovely fellow, but I was informed very little regarding the specific ins and outs of...

Just curious, was the game Final Fantasy XIV?

I cast another stone for both Mythras and DCC RPG, Mythras (which is a BRP based game, same as Call of Cthulhu, originally derived from Runequest) does bronze/iron/dark age games really well and has gritty combat, whereas DCC is a great mishmash between D&D and Lovecraft, where things are weird...

To echo some of the other comments, "edition" is a bit of a misnomer, printing would probably be a more accurate word to use. CoC 1-6 are essentially the same game. 7th edition did make a few small changes, but the differences between it and its predecessors are less than the differences between...

This was there chance to make the DM Screen really useful, I was really hoping they would choose to utilize a screen more akin to this: http://mojobob.com/roleplay/dnd5e/Fitz's%205e%20DM%20Screen.pdf And then add a bit cool artwork interspersed in there to give it some flavor. Seems like a...

Mythras is my preferred d100 game, I only semi recently discovered it, but its a fantastic game that hits all the right buttons for my more simulationist side. It also has the Classic Fantasy supplement which elegantly staples D&D onto the d100 system.

Have you seen this? Lulu is your friend. ;) http://www.d6holocron.com/downloads/books/REUP.pdf

One thing I really want to see is for the paladin and ranger to mirror each other in spellcasting (except for casting stat), the ranger prepares from his entire list, and each subclass gets extra prepared spells like all the paladin oaths receive (as the deep stalker already does).
