    Edge Announced It Will Be Making Star Wars RPGs....

    If you know how to translate the symbols, sure.

    Edge Announced It Will Be Making Star Wars RPGs....

    Yeah, if they wanted to do something else for 5e, the easiest thing would be to revisit FFGs other old d20 settings.

    Edge Announced It Will Be Making Star Wars RPGs....

    Given the context of this discussion, I thought it obvious I was referring to the 3e OA.

    Ugh. Yeah, Oriental Adventures all over again... :rolleyes:

    Edge Announced It Will Be Making Star Wars RPGs....

    L5R has its own rules engine. Using its own special dice (not nearly as complicated as the SW/Genesys ones).

    D&D 5E (2014) Zooming In On Monsters of the Multiverse [UPDATED!]

    That's... pretty awful. Oh well, I probably wasn't going to buy this anyway.

    Official News Encounter Building Preview

    That seems likely. But I wonder if any thought has gone into the action economy. The number of opponents is an important factor. Not as important as the official 5e encounter math seems to think, but still pretty important.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – a|state, Book of Gaub, Fading Suns, and more

    It just seems to mean taking a historical or pseudo-historical genre and/or setting, and adding characters who think and talk like we do today. And that's been the meaning ever since someone came up with "steampunk".

    Dragon Reflections #46

    Why no mention of Pinsom?

    Another Year of EN World Demographics!

    "the 18-24 group is the largest" Really? Maybe by a fraction of a percent that the pie chart doesn't show? "The EU in general is only about 5% of the user base." Adding up just the EU countries in the table, I get 7.6%. Presumably there's some smaller countries that didn't get listed that would...

    2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu Is Here

    So if you're not taken out, your mental wounds will heal? Do they heal as quickly as physical damage, or is it more difficult (as in the classical game)?

    2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu Is Here

    I might be missing something, but I can't find any way to drive characters insane in these rules?

    Podcast #139: Everway with Jonathan Tweet

    Wizkids have sold unpainted minis a long time - that's what the Nolzur's line is. But those do come assembled. Moving to sprues means you have to assemble the minis yourself. And switching the material to HIPS means a harder, higher quality of plastic. So these two things taken together means...

    Official News Level Up: Exploration Challenges, Boons, & Monster Signs

    I like it. Signs is something I started adding to my random encounter tables years ago, but the hard part is racking my brain trying to come up with lots of different signs for each monster. So more suggestions are always welcome. And boons are something I've thought of before, but never had the...

    Here's What You Can Pre-Order For the DUNE RPG From Next Week

    Well, Mutant Chronicles has several - though those might be translations from earlier editions, I'm not sure. John Carter has one. Other than that, yeah it's pretty thin. I'm guessing this is because a campaign is the hardest kind of material to write. Look at how WotC often put out bad ones...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    So, in other words... re-writing the whole thing from the ground up? Because those railroad tracks are solid steel and don't bend easily. 😜

    DriveThruRPG Is Having A Facelift

    To the 90s? Sounds like you weren't actually around for Web 1.0... :sneaky:

    DriveThruRPG Is Having A Facelift

    The larger images are a bit much on my stationary computer's 32" screen, but I'd say they're an improvement on my laptop. So I guess they believe most people are on laptops nowadays?

    Game Design Masterclass: Alien

    Never played Alien specifically, but with the YZ system in general I've found it's disingenous to focus on the percentage of getting 1 success. Because most times you want more than 1. I find it's more helpful to look at the averages, and since 6 dice give an average of 1 success, that is the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron: Rising from the Last War Coming For D&D In November

    Yeah, I saw the other news post later. I still think the alternate is pretty good-looking, though. Might still prefer it to whatever the standard cover turns out to be.
