I refute this entirely. My son loves grim dark 40K and he's 10.

I've always wanted to have a system that only used D4s and D8s as they are my favourite shaped dice.

Ones with some form of quality of success built in but for some reason I tend to not like dice pools so much but I have no factual reason why. I guess one of them looked at me funny once and it put me off them. Also it's not so much the dice you roll but keeping the number of competing modifiers...

Don't forget the full quote is "only the penitent man who then rolls forward a bit to avoid the second blade may pass" The last crusade ones are more focused on riddles to be solved. If that's the route focus on the clue and the solution first and you can tack something sharp/pointy/crushy at...

Hey, they didn't call us Perfidious Albion for nothing folks.

Play nothing but Bards. Nothing. But. Bards!

Wait what was it? "One finger in the air, the rest still down on the shelf. I'm telling you to go......." No sorry forgot the ending.

Personally I feel he deserves the money for his work in the Police Academy franchise. The inventing books thing was just a bonus.

Steed coin witch?

That's what did for me with the Drizzt books. The amout of times someone was dead but then.. No they are alive! Again and again. When you're spending half a book thinking "why won't you people just die!" at the heros then it's time to move on.

Anyone volunteer to ask Will how he feels about this these days? You may need to duck.

The Not D&D one is really good talking to different designers each week. John Harper was interesting last night but the man can probably run off a brand new innovative game in the morning in the time it takes me to eat my Cheerios.

I'd agree with this 100%. I don't know if there is anone here more up on their Ye Olden days of D&D of yore lore but I wonder if avoiding the Tolkien legal department ringwraiths was a motivation for mixing them up a bit at some point. I'm not sure when D&D Orcs settled into their known form...

Goblinoid = A loose vague and changeable definition for a group of violent antagonist humanoid creatures inpired by or can trace their lineage back to Tolkien's Gobins and Orcs. This includes the misapprehention that these were different creatures rather than a change in nomenclature between the...

I've never got on with Bugbears and have never used them. I think it's the fluffy Saturday morning kid's cartoon sounding name. "What's that Bugbear? I should be more accepting, less picky, and learn the power of friendship? Screw you Bugbear!"

You don't need to spell, just be able to count to 17.

I am rubbish at spelling though.

Maybe just me then 😋 I'll say it sets it's stall out well "criminal syndicates and mystical cults but together! It's the original odd couple!" It just feels (to me) clumsy or awkward when I try to say it. I can't really describe it well but it's like the rthymn is wrong or there should be a...

I did wonder about the system, a D20 or adjacent system would probably be better for sales but it'll do well, at least initially, anyway no matter what they use. It sounds interesting in terms of setting but the name is rubbish.
