I played the Pacesetter version, own (and dislike the mechanical changes in) Mayfair's take on it, and really like 3e a great deal. I've had a lot of success running it at a local con for the last two years, and I think the investigative skills system is superior to that in Gumshoe. In Chill...

Oh heck no! I'm getting into my squirrel costume right and I'll be u-locked to our mayor's car shortly! Piss and wind, my friends! Seriously, it's a shame that civility is a topic in that manner...would be so much better of a community (and world) if these things were both understood and acted...

Good points. I'm sure it will be a high-quality product. I'm impressed with the PG throughout - content, formatting, physical quality. And they won't sell as many, I'd agree. Still, it is a considerably thinner book. Just pointing it out.

According to C7's site it's the same price as the first book, despite being almost 70 pages shorter. That's frustrating.

Interesting: I thought that I would be in a larger, or perhaps the majority, group by age. I am not. I am not in the top two. I don't know if I rate as a grognard, but the older I get....the older I get. Funny.

I'm very impressed with the PG, which I picked up at my FLGS not long ago. In fact, I'm going to poach ideas for house rules for my Fantasy AGE campaign we just began - pretty bummed that my group isn't interested in 5e right, actually; I'd love to run this.

Has anyone else read the Star Trek rules? I'm working my way through them and am interested in what others think.

Harvest DNA...clone the Founders...

I remember looking at the system they promised for 5e and thinking that it didn't look like something I'd use, or would be particularly useful. Sometimes people get really excited about their idea and are certain that it's going to be applicable and interesting to others, when it's not. I agree...

No image for me, either. Nor when I refresh.

I like Gumshoe, and have played ToC and run Nights Black Agents and TimeWatch. I actually think the system is better for Mythos-focused investigations than the CoC system. I've played CoC only a few times, and the BRP system seems, for all its updates, antiquated to me. That said, Gumshoe's not...

Plug for the Chill book: I have the core rules and their first supplement, which they Kickstarted last year and delivered on time a few months ago. Their books tend to have a good amount of "artifact"-style pages, looking like emails or hand-written journals, and they provide a lot of...

I figured. They are nice looking books...too bad I don't do crunchy like that anymore or I'd probably buy one.

Odd - that's nothing new. The corebook has been on the shelf at my FLGS for months. But still somewhat interesting.

You gotta laugh at that right there...that's funny. And accurate.

Gamers: our entire hobby is based around made-up-stuff...so why should it be surprising that there's so much of the same in this thread? I choose to look at it as a form of crowd-sourced fiction, inspired by real events. ElfCrusher wins the Internet! :)

I thought it was funny, too. I am happy to see that he's a gamer and not just a branding/marketing/business guy. If he's got the gamer gene and all that other industry experience he'll do the company and hobby good.

Tucson's market since the late 70s has as the norm a few game stores that cater to a certain audience of gamers or part of town. We had a place, Things for Thinkers, which was the hub of wargaming and RPGs from the late 70s through mid-90s, and then it closed. We've had some places that were...

Great question. My guess? Multiple books.

Wow - that's great news! Their books are beautiful, and while I've heard good things about the system, I'm not interested in switching from 5e for fantasy. I've thought about picking up some of those books just for reading purposes...but this makes a ton of sense, and I imagine will make for...
