I remember when this first came out and it blew our minds to have a in-game prop of an actual book. Of course my favorite of this kind is now Dracula Redacted.

TBF, that's always been the golden goose for that crowd. Even Peter Adkison quit once he found out Hasbro foolishly sold off the video gaming rights without consulting him first and he was the one who bought TSR to save D&D. I am not saying that makes me feel great for how he might treat the...

If you haven't seen his story about running a d20 Star Wars demo at Planet Hollywood, you need to check it out now. And afterwards, you should consider give something for his cause.

This is on par with a dragon or demon with less hit points because its armor is high and then gets even higher. And what's a DB monster without a fear/condition attack. :LOL: Just my two cents, if it wasn't for the loot, this could also be a environmental hazard/trap. Check out how in the core...

I'd say more like anime/Amber fantasy. The movers and shakers have some literal superpowers and the peeling back layers of how the world works and how the heroes bend that to their advantage reminds me of Amber. It's a bit sci-fi as well. Dice pools are not a deal breaker for me. I did the...

Pretty much, you could also use the Hot Springs Island as well, which has no stats to convert. Just decide which family of stats (demons, elementals, orcs, ogres, etc) go with which factions and go. https://shop.swordfishislands.com/the-dark-of-hot-springs-island/

Interesting they are trying to keep the page count mostly equal with the original adventures. Though I feel Expedition is more of an abridged version.

There's a unofficial Dragonbane DoD Discord that has almost 2,000 members, both Swedish and English speaking. Free League supports their monthly creation content contest, Dragonburn, with online store credit. The Dragonburn nickname comes from a time when the channel went down and we lost tons...

For those who pre-ordered the Path of Glory book, the Swedish Beta PDF is out. English is coming soon. Just a heads up, Free League will not sell the PDF separately until after the book is out in retail. According to a Swedish gamer who played the original DoD adventure, the new one seems to...

Sigh. The Free RPG map shows no one in South Florida is running Free RPG Day and it also turns out to be a friend's birthday, so I am not participating this year. I tried to get one of my FGLS stores to sponsor it but I was new to the store and didn't realize what their model really was. They...

Okay, so now that someone mentioned organized play, it makes (a little) more sense to me. They are vaguely explaining to tech bros who were too cool to do ttrpgs how reward certificates worked in old school organized play, You finish a adventure and the GM would sign and hand over a paper...

This is literally what the OSR does with rulesets that can be quite different (WWN) or literally identical (OSE) to the original game systems. That's the value add, any stats for creatures, traps, and magical items can be used as is regardless of your OSR chassis. I think the guideline of...

Same thing we said with 3.0. The more things change ...

As a GM who grew up more on Tolkien than history books, I'm not surprised when a war of five armies is brief compared to the rest of the book. So to have the 1e version of Ekbir go into a run on sentence about the country's army seems overly detailed -- especially when it sounds like a word math...

True. In the end, that is all we can really do. Make great product, market it well, and cross our fingers.

We might need boundaries on that question; There is: The muggles who just don't like sci-fi because "If it's not real, I don't care" while ironically holding a smart phone. Nerds who don't like sci-fi in general because they essentially don't like the tropes of episodic sci-fi TV. The guy who...

As nerds, we love to show how smart we are -- even to the point that we'll destroy the wonder of the very thing we enjoy if it means we score a "smart" point with our friends in the room.

And that there is the reason sci-fi ttrpgs are going to always be an uphill battle. For most fantasy games, the DM points to which forest the elves live and which mountain range the dwarves live and it's off to rolling dice. The second a DM pulls out a star map, or even describes how FTL work...

But Mystara does has immortals and a whole region dedicated to their shenanigans - the Hollow Earth - but that might be the exception that proves the rule. Unless you specially want to engage in those rule, how much does it matter in actual day-to-day play? Honestly, for D&D (or the ttrpg...

Source books? That would be only one book with with about 8 to 10 pages a piece. It think that's what WotC for them back in 3e, I think. (Explorer's Edition?) It's well established in the industry that the deeper the tier of supplement, the smaller the return. Heck, CGL couldn't even justify...
