The Cepheus Engine isn’t the Traveller system, incidentally. It is a third party engine based on the OGL of Mongoose’s 1st Edition Traveller. The Traveller system is just that.

Both have changed in this edition. The Fianna are now the Hart Wardens, there is no Breed classifications, The Get Of Fenris have defected and the Stargazers have withdrawn. There are other changes to names also (Wendigo are now Galestalkers and Uktena are Ghost Council) as they attempt to...

Can’t really see myself buying a new Dungeon Master’s Guild. I don’t think I’ve taken the old one off the shelf since I bought that! Really, with the new-not-new-edition, the only consequential new book that will be relevant to me will be the Player’s Handbook - because that is where all the...

Yes. V5 has a range of supplements and more still to come this year, along with Hunter: The Reckoning and a new Werewolf: The Apocalypse edition at the end of the year. Renegade also produces card games and other media for Vampire, so it remains a strong IP. I am less familiar with Chronicles...

This is a bit confused! The setting of Vampire: The Masquerade is the World of Darkness. The owner of the World of Darkness games, including Vampire: The Masquerade, Hunter: the Reckoning, Werewolf: The Apocalypse and others (all share the same setting) is owned by Paradox Entertainment. The...

Mongoose Traveller 1st edition introduced an OGL which was changed when they introduced the 2nd edition - which became the TAS license. Some 3rd parties didn’t like the terms of that so made Cepheus instead. The new Open Content is clearly in response to the WotC leak, but may address something...

It depends on how you define a ‘narrative game’. There are lots of antecedents towards the notion of a game driven by narratives. I’d argue that games like James Bond 007, Marvel Super Heroes or Steve Jackson’s Toon had narrative mechanics in certain aspects, while games like Paranoia had very...

There was a lot of mentions for Pendragon in the build up to the poll, it was a holdover from 2022 to a degree and, to be sure, I don’t think any better roleplaying game exists. So, yep, it would me my major anticipated game of the year. Slightly surprised that Monty Python wasn’t higher placed...

Honestly, I think the Monty Python game or maybe Pendragon will win it, but as others say, it looks a quieter year for new releases than for previous years, Notably Pendragon was a delayed release from 2022, and other games may also be holdovers too. I was surprised nobody mentioned the new...

Pendragon 6th is being written via Greg Stafford’s guidance. It was his notes and his plan to release a 6th edition. He began work on it a decade ago. It will be his name on the credits.

Pinebox Middle School (Pinnacle Entertainment) is not a standalone game. It is a setting supplement for Savage Worlds. Pinebox Middle School | Pinnacle Entertainment Group

Based on previous years' debates, it is the actual public release of the release of the PDF that counts. So, no Bladerunner for example as the PDF is already available to the general public.

I’ve already nominated. It’s up to other people.

I’ve already nominated, but curiously nobody seems to have mentioned Marvel Multiverse and Gotham City Chronicles for 2023 yet? Maybe superhero stuff isn’t that popular here?

King Arthur Pendragon 6th Edition - Chaosium. Paranoia Perfect Edition - Mongoose - NOMINEE. Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition - Paradox Entertainment/Renegade Studios. Cthulhu by Gaslight - Chaosium (which has been mooted as a standalone game, rather than requiring standard CoC rules)...

Was it? Because, again, I thought a Mod had asked people to stop bickering about definitions and all I am reading is a bunch of dogpiling posters wanting to continue with it, regardless.

No I haven’t linked it. Find it for yourself. It’s one of Morrus’ Podcasts from earlier this year in discussion with some industry analyst. It isn’t as if providing links and sources actually makes any difference with the posters on this thread anyway.

No. I thought a Mod just came on this thread to stop bickering about definitions. The point is this is not my theory that I am putting out here like some maverick. I am explaining what other people have defined the situation as. I am referring you to a Podcast on this site that has already...

It is not my theory.

I gave you specific legal definition from the UK. A company does not need to be a sole producer in a market to have monopoly power over it - as defined in the source I gave. Like I say, you really need to go and find that podcast and listen to it too - because this has already been discussed by...
