Plate armor is not post-medieval. Describing plate armour as "post-medieval" displays a level of historical ignorance. And ignorance tends to accompany - other views. Do a search on "Historical medieval plate armor" and you will see that it was kind of a thing from the 14th to 15th centuries...

Not in the medieval era in the style that she is wearing. Your ‘almost as long’ is shy by a few centuries… If you are going to extrapolate to the degree that if they have telescopes then they can do 18 century style ( generous…) spectacles, then you might as well just directly invoke ‘it’s...

I’d say that it’s not so much that she has glasses, but that they are very obviously Modern in design, and not what you would have seen in the medieval era. (We know what those looked liked.) So by comparison, Her glasses have a very anachronistic look. Now if you want to say it’s fantasy...

The similarities in art style are enough to make my point... Maybe not. I don't read comics, not familiar with all that is out there for them. But that's not the point. Again; it's not like I pulled my impression out of thin air...

I don't read comics, and only know Dr. Strange from the recent film. But surely, I must have gotten my impression from somewhere... Wotc: Kemonomimi anime girl doing the exact same thing: The "protection dome" is ubiquitous in a lot of the anime I have seen. Now if you wanna go on about...

It seems the anime-fantasy style art is here to stay…

I wouldn’t even begrudge D&D still being the market leader. I just think It would be nice if we went back to having a solid number two rpg that was fairly popular within the hobby, and that also wasn’t a D&D clone… The cost of competition is high, and our economy has fundamentally changed in...

FWIW: 'Bounded Accuracy' just means that D&D's task resolution mechanic obsensively works the same as most skill based RPG systems. For Example: CP2020 (1993) Task Difficulties: Easy 10+ Average 15+ Difficult 20+ Very Difficult 25+ Nearly Impossible 30+ 5e D&D (2014) Typical DCs: Very Easy...

Innovation is real… ;)

No one said it didn't make a splash. I readily admit it: You are objecting to assertions I have not made. There is a term for that.

No one is saying that it is not making money...

I agree. And I'll go even further... The Avatar RPG's only impact on the RPG' hobby is as a trivia question for getting a ridiculously well funded KickStarter. Not only will it be no different to find people to play it a few years from now as any other small press RPG. It's not even that big...

They look like normal d6’s in black and green. But knowing FFG, there is a specific game mechanic related reason why they have to be in two distinctly separate colors. Evidently even normal d6’s are not safe from the FFG RPG design team…

Vampire did that. But then they screwed it up. I think that a large part of why no one does that now has to do with how the industry has changed. In the 90's People in the hobby were more likely to give non D&D system games a shot. And the perennial number two RPG was not a D&D clone. But...

I'd bet hard money Crystal Dynamics and Asmodee/Edge are not in contact in any way, or ever have been. My understanding is that Embracer tends to be fairly hands-off in terms of management. While they are owned by the same parent company, they are still separate entities doing different things...

Have you considered converting the Dresden Files over to a PbTA/BiTD RPG? (I fully recognize that it's all too easy to tell someone else what to do with their time and resources when you have no skin in the game...)

Through a mutual acquaintance... The employee that wrote the first Tomb Raider RPG was a victim of the latest round of "corporate restructuring" at Crystal Dynamics that occurred a while back. Now it's still their IP, but it's just more politic all around to have Evil Hat do an all-new Tomb...
