Didn’t William The Conquerer die by falling off his horse and landing awkwardly on his saddle?

Considering Root is available now on drivethrurpg.com, I guess that isn’t eligible either now.

The question is whether they mean by ‘book’ an ebook as well as a physical book. It isn’t stated either way, but for me, The One Ring is already here and available for the general public.

A bit conscious of the fact that although Shield Maidens and Paranoia: The Perfect Edition have been mentioned, they haven’t been officially nominated as per the rules outlined in the OP. I can’t nominate as I have already nominated the two upcoming WoD games, which is the limit, so is anybody...

I’m going to delete the original post now, and nominate a couple from the list with links. Seeing as the Chaosium games have been mentioned several times, I don’t need to mention them again. Matt Sprange just confirmed that Pioneer won’t be ready in 2022, too, but also did mention the Mongoose...

Deleted, with nominations reposted.

Not relevant, as pointed out. It is not retro-sci-fi, however much you beg to differ. It is a misinterpretation of what Traveller is.

It isn’t just an issue of viewpoints. It is a misconception to say that Traveller is retro. It is a modern science fiction roleplaying system and setting in it’s modern incarnation.

It has gone through more editions than D&D has, and has updated and modernized its approach to rules each time it has done so. It had a new update released only a few weeks ago. It’s a generic science fiction mix from an ecclectic range of sources, and not retro-flavour at all. It is like...

Well, I think you need to be more specific - because the current Traveller game has all the tech that cyberpunk games do and more. On certain planets, with high tech levels, the level of surveillance is whatever you want it to be. The game and setting is deliberately diverse. Next year...

Traveller isn’t retro-sci-fi. Traveller written in the 1970s is retro-sci-fi, because it is limited by what existed at the time, but that was 40+ years ago. Traveller these days has been modernized accordingly. Traveller is basically a generic sci-fi game, with a generic default setting that...

Um....wut?!

There is nothing in what I said that means you can’t roll all three dice at the same time. As I said, they could be colour coded.

If you have a 3D6 mechanic based on having positive/negative success dice and a D6 Effect dice (like In Nomine crossed with Feng Shui), then you could yield a 6-1-6 as the maximum result. That is: (D6-D6) + D6 = 11 (max score) The full range would be -4 to 11 if read this way, although the...

Deleted.

Well, if that is what you think, then I think your views can be discounted on other matters here too. The AiME line is currently out of print. Try buying a copy online these days, and you can get an impression of how much people think it is worth.

As I said previously, there is nothing in print but I have gaming friends that are adamant that they played Traveller this way. The point being that ideas such as this may have been around for a long time without necessarily being ‘official’. However, what I would say is that Traveller is a...

Yep, The One Ring and Adventures in Middle Earth (for 5e) were both really strong lines.

Well, it is happening now. Moreover, it is happening concurrently with the publication of the current version so I don’t see what the consternation is about really. It isn’t Oriental Adventures and it isn’t Kara-Tur. What happens with Star Wars may be conjecture, but there might not be any...

The original Oriental Adventures was set in Kara-Tur, of course.
