1. It looks awesome and really stands out. 2. It can more easily be put with RPG books and digest sized books, yet stand out against both. 3. It lies flatter on a table. 4. It is less intimidating than a full sized book, so good for newbies.

There is already an excel sheet on the WotC forums of that size. Its pretty good.

Mechanically, the compatibility is low. They may serve as good inspiration of general things like classes and levels but the mechanics are substantially different.

They are the same size as the book - http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=12510682&postcount=15

No. They are posting under different handles. Grubman is a long time RPGnetter.

The adventures are good but they are tied into the Celtic world of Slaine a fair bit. It would take quite a bit of conversion to use D&D as the magic system and much of the world is drastically different from that in D&D.

:) The WotC boards are kind of special that way.

As saves are based on level and the one time class bonuses don't stack, multiclassing will only achieve a very small bonus to saves. I don't think this will provide a great incentive to multiclass (unlike in SW RCR).

This is correct and confirmed. Skill Focus does indeed have trained as a prerequiste. All of this stuff has been set out in the previews released so far.

BFRPG is almost identical to the Moldvay Basic Set and Cook/Marsh Expert Set except races aren't classes and ACs are ascending. As such, it will play almost identical to that experience. For me, it was so retro as to be not worth my time as it didn't translate at all to me 25 years on :)

I agree, a per session or per adventure resource makes much more sense to me. Personally, I will go with have the per level amount apply per adventure (3 to 4 sessions). Most adventures are 1 level anyway but I prefer it when expressed this way.

The Bleeding Edge series by Green Ronin are an excellent series. Each one takes you up 1 level and there are currently 5. They are independent but have suggestions for stringing them together. They are quite dark (the default setting is Freeport) but do a good mixture of combat, intrigue and...

I disagree. Otherwise you end up doubling up advantages. Soldiers are will have better access to Defense and Damage increasing feats and talents and have a higher Base Attack. The increase of Defense and Damage by level is not to repeat the same advantage for Soldiers but to create another...

No, as the preview says it looks like Soldiers will have a bonus to Reflex Defence that a techie may not. Add in training in armour, increased HP and other defence feats and talents, I would say fully trained combat pc will be significantly better at avoiding harm than the techie.

That's right. Its OGL.

It would seem that a draft of some sort have been completed. However, it has been delayed as Chris Pramas has recently been employed in the computer game industry. DF is his baby and so he will no doubt want to supervise its development and it is likely he has no time for it at the moment.

If you can wait until SW Saga Ed, I would go with that from all accounts so far. Otherwise, I recommend True Force for True 20 for now. Thinking outisde the square, especially for a short term game, I would recommend Spirit of the Century by Evil Hat (www.evilhat.com/?spirit). Though designed...

Cheers, I will be buying and keeping a close eye out on RPGnow.

Will this be available in print? What 8 adventures are to be included in this Omnibus? There are currently 6 adventures published for TT, and 2 compliations (Zeppelins and Suddenly...). Is this the 8 or will any other adventures included?

Not that difficult. Simply use the conversion guidelines to convert damage. For HP, I would keep with a static number (like in True 20) such as the constituion score (which you would need to convert from the attribute bonus). The will be a few effects as all the feats are designed for the...
