"The designers are second only to Free League in adapting the basic engine to fit different genres and licensees. Sometimes the games are very grainy. Sometimes they are not." -Rob Wieland Honestly I feel that Modiphius is number one at doing this and not Free Leagues. Look at how many they've...

I don't think it's about erasing it. It's more about approaching it with sensitivity and being careful not to send the wrong message like coming off like you're glorifying it. I think currently our societal approach currently is to over correct, you can't blame everyone being a bit skittish...

Heh, happens to us all. Truly. I got a bunch of down votes recently on Reddit because I missed something and asked a really silly question. I blame it on the fact that it was late and I'd had a few glasses of port. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;)

Both are. They were linked in the article above. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/280556/The-Dragonborn-of-Karatur?affiliate_id=6138 https://www.dmsguild.com/product/339518/British-Raj-A-Masque-of-the-Red-Death-Guide-to-British-India?affiliate_id=6138

So that isn't just my imagination that they've gotten better in quality for minis and larger pieces. I was sort of thinking that I was just imagining it. Nice to see that someone else thinks so as well.

Yup. The Sword Coast "was/is" the Gateway of what's eastward which is the Savage Frontier. :) Fond memories of those Gold Box SSI games, Pool of Radiance etc.

Yeah I went searching because the item intrigued me. Found the company and found it on Amazon. :) Thanks for the reply Charles!

Intrigued by the Gaming Paper Tiles in hex map style. Unfortunately the link showed that the product was sold out. :/

Wow, I knew things were a mess, but damn. Thanks for sharing this.

Though I'm not a huge fan of narrative focused mechanics systems over all, I think you might be onto something with that. A rules light system really might be the better fit for what they want to do.

"Thanks to Nightfall Games, The Terminator franchise is coming to tabletop RPG for the first time ever. " -Egg Well, in an officially licensed sort of way. Many of us through the decades tossed terminators in our games and Skynet. ;) Just as much as many of our Traveller games became...

My memories of the time were that a lot of game companies were struggling or going under. Magic The Gathering really took a huge chunk of the business. Players and GMs alike found that it was easy to get into, prep time was very low and easy etc. I recall ICE, GDW, TSR etc all struggling by...

What we made use of was the fumbles and crit charts. Also the campaign setting information was something I was a fan of as well.

Yup. Back in the 80's I was fond of frequently pointing out that RM could be damn fine rpg if they uploaded all the charts and mechanics onto a computer. lol. Of course a few years later Gemstone III came out on GEnie and it was based on RM and Shadow World. The game is still around, it's now...

My issues with GURPs in particular and this is a problem with their fan base as well, is that they've chosen a very rigid and narrow point of view on how they develop material for GURPs. They've been really stubborn on their mindset that GURPS is a tool kit and they and their fans push back at...

SJG, is a company I've been a fan of since their inception. That said they've made repeated errors in my opinion on how they produce, market and look at expanding GURPs. It's been very annoying over the last twenty plus years in particular at how they've approached and managed GURPs. :/ I done...

I want to thank you Egg for doing this weekly article. Kickstarter does a terrible job at sending emails about Kickstarter's that interest me. You'd think they'd send better emails since they have an accurate list of every Kickstarter I've backed over the years. Nope, they don't. Lol Of course...

Hopefully they'll put out an errata of the differences between the revised version and the previous version. It's one of the things that I do appreciate that Wizards of the Coast does, those erratas I tend to save as a pdf and print up to put in the back of whichever book that was updated...
