Alternity should have done better. It's a shame it didn't.

Ryan Dancey had a great letter re: the WotC purchase of TSR. If there were pallets of books, not specifically mentioned, but I would wager Alternity was part of that. TSR was a hot mess. Also, this is a great read! https://www.rpgpub.com/threads/ryan-danceys-letter-on-the-death-of-tsr.1304/

Alternity wasn't specifically killed because of Star Wars at all. It was dropped because of seriously lagging sales and failed to gain a lot of traction. The stories told that when wizards of the Coast bought TSR, there were pallets of books for the alternity line in the warehouse. It just...

Shrek sure has taken a dark turn!

Sorry I was referring to the dark conspiracy using traveler second edition rules information or news blurb. I wasn't very clear on that my bad

Really?! :-) Do you have a link for that? It makes the most sense honestly. Pretty excited for this, I loved that line I just hated the system.

I'm just getting into 2300 AD, really liking it so far!!

I hope the new Dark Conspiracy RPG uses the Traveller 2e system. That would happily replace the Dark Matter and Star*Drive material for me. I would still like a different far future setting aside from Traveller with different aliens, etc. Ugh. Alternity was so close!!

I wanted to like Alternity, I tried so hard. Bought and sold it about 3-4 times. There are a handful of things that didn't work for me, surprisingly it was NOT the roll low and the modifier dice. I really liked that feature. It desperately needs a real 2nd edition, not the one we got from...

Totally a YA novel, which is totally fine. If it's not, then the cover failed.

Hopefully this is the first of many third party BRP related releases.

But I want dangerous peasants!!! :)

Confirming crits was the worst rule idea. It's anticlimactic and usually robs a character of their moment.

Great to see a few monsters that will eventually make it to the Fiend Folio. I'm not able to figure out what is happening with the two figures in the front. The person on the far right, i get that one, they're upside down due to the winds. The one that is red and blue isn't making any sense...

"No cast has been announced and neither Hasbro nor Netflix has actually confirmed the project. " Ok. So it's basically a topic during a meeting?

I would imagine it'll stay as is, with what little system it has.

Hmmmm I think you might be right. I really dig horror RPGs but the Stay Alive book didn't get me going like this does.

Glad to see this getting some press, it looks to be a fun game. Also there are audio files available for free as well, there's a link in this book. It's a stand-alone book, so that's good. No other books needed, no main Cypher System book required. At 386 pages, it's pretty complete. A new...

Fire Giant is under F and Hill Giant is under H? This is pretty darned stupid to put these monster types alphabetically by name, instead of in their group. Are Demons and Devils scattered through out the book as well? (not trying to be snarky, but genuinely curious) The old air elemental entry...

I hope they end up using Daggerheart and it's successful beyond their wildest dreams.
