Yes, there often seems to be a delay of some kind between when a article is posted here and when I can actually see it. It can't be a caching issue, because the pages are new. And refreshing doesn't help in my case. All I can do is try to remember to come back and read it later.

That's not what TBH has though. It's literally "roll under", if you roll equal you fail. I specifically asked the designer about this, so it's straight from the horse's mouth. Nothing stopping you from hacking the hack, of course...

Good grief, those are ugly. Welp, at least I'm saving some money.

So you do mean it literally? The reason it's unclear is not the text itself, but the context. You have to take into account the preconceptions readers bring with them. I think a lot of roleplayers more or less automatically will assume that a "roll low" system works on the concept of "target...

I immediately see an unclear point: is it literally "roll below", or do you mean "roll equal to or under"?

Was Future World ever a fully realized setting? I remember it more as just a name tacked on to a list of sci-fi appropriate skills and equipment.

AFAIK Ringworld was the only sci-fi setting actually published by Chaosium. But there have been sci-fi games with clearly BRP-inspired rules from other publishers. The one I remember best was Other Suns from FGU.

So... should there be some text here?

As long as he's not the pushover he was in 4e. Then again, my main issue with the fight in module E3 was probably not with his stats per se, but that the Fighter class was OP. Orcus got locked in melee with the tank and anytime he tried to do anything else he took an opportunity attack and fell...

I was about to ask "retconned how?" but then I read the passage again and realized it's actually describing a ringworld. But the text still doesn't match the picture. It specifically says you can see "the far side of the city directly overhead", but in the picture that mountain would block such...

Well, if they only want to have 3 subdivisions of fantasy, I'd say pulp is closer to heroic than it is to sword&sorcery. Edit: At least the kind of pulp that Eberron exemplifies, with lots of flashy magic and flashy combat. I'm well aware that historically, the first stories written in the S&S...

Well, the edition didn't actually change then, but IIRC 2013 was when 4e almost completely dropped off the WotC production schedule.

Re: my initial enthusiasm that something might be set in a not-FR world. Well, bugger that for a lark, then. So friggin sick of FR.

Waitaminute... Elder Elemental Eye? Could this mean.... the return of Greyhawk?!?

Oh, OK, so my memory was playing tricks on me. I associated the change that I liked with the edition that I liked. ;) But yeah, score 1 point for the nWoD there. Don't know if it gets too many more...

I can't really provide a detailed answer, but in broad strokes the anniversary editions are intended for those who preferred the fluff, and sometimes the rules, of the oWoD. I'm not well read on everything in the nWoD, but like you I really liked the old Mage. 2nd edition in particular saw a...

Because their other bonuses are worse than everyone elses. The armor proficiency is not as good as the hill dwarves' extra hit points, for example.

I see what you did there...

TableTop is an awesome show, but it's kind of stretching the definition of "podcast", isn't it? I understand they might not want to multiply categories any more, but if programming with a substantial video component is included maybe the category should be renamed in some way?

Only 2 of the projects are just minis. But you're right, almost all of the boardgames on the list have a lot of minis included. And everything is either a boardgame or a gaming accessory of some kind. Why no RPGs? Well, I assume there would be some on a list that went by percentage of goal...
