I often don't really notice when art is put at the right place, but I notice when it is lacking. One thing that irritates me is when a TTRPG book has a list of equipment (especially weapons) and only has art for a portion of them. This is even more frustrating when it's not your usual Broadsword...

We postponed meeting and exchanging gifts because of COVID. Met with some family yesterday. My dad surprised me and bought me the Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook for FFG Star Wars because he heard me one time, a year ago, say I'd like to own it. Pretty cool!

Essh... nothing against 5E, but Dark Souls is a unique beast that would have required something a bit different in my opinion. It's a game with such a rich content and lore. I'll wait and see what they do, maybe it'll be pretty different?

Can you expand a bit on that? What is Universalis? It's been a joy to read through so far. You're right that I'm both a bit intimidated by the crunchiness, but more so because it's a different crunchiness than most TTRPGs; and excited because there's plenty of great ideas here. Most...

Hi! I recently purchased Burning Wheel because I've been hearing so much about it. I'm about 2/3rd through my first reading. So far I'm loving it, it's very different to many games coming out lately and it's from a tabletop style of play that I'm not too familiar with. It's obvious that it is a...

I think they meant the world's oldest free MMO.

I own both Mordekainen and Volo. Every bit of this book that I've seen is mostly material I have already purchased. The revamped or streamlined stat block are really not that different. I wouldn't make a difference at my table. And anyway, there's plenty of monsters of 5E that I still haven't...

DotA (or Defense of the Ancients) is a mod that was created using the modding tools of Warcraft 3. It used the heroes, items and assets of the game to popularize a new genre (MOBAs, or Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas) where typically two teams of five players, each controlling one hero, split...

I started with 3E, and to me D&D never really reflected much of Lord of the Rings. There's obviously a huge and undeniable part of the DNA of D&D and fantasy as a whole that comes from it. But D&D was always too pulpy to feel Lord of the Rings. To me, Lord of the Rings always felt very coherent...

Yikes, indeed. But not surprising. Most of digital stores reserve the rights to close your account and everything you bought on it. Very often, they'll say that they are not selling you the product, but a license or rights to access aid products; and that's generally relying on you being...

I backed Horizon Rising!

Would anyone mind sharing the table of contents?

I also dislike PDFs. They're useful in some ways, but I can't be bothered to read on a screen and nothing comes close to the tactile experience of going through a book. I also buy my TTRPG books as beautiful objects in addition to the content and game they offer; not unlike someone would by some...

This is entirely off-topic. But does anyone know how the hell Landon Jamieson is? I keep seeing him posting stats about kickstarters non-stop in the comment sections whenever I go check comments for information on the products.

I'm not a big cartoon guy. But this already looked aimed at big of an older audience. I didn't watch the first campaign of CR, but I'm curious and will surely give this a try.

First Resolution: Try new systems I've mentioned quite a few times how during the first year of the pandemic I compensated my inability to play TTRPGs (in person) with buying systems and studying them. I put my purchases on hold for now. 2022 is the year I'll dig through and play these...

The tabletop game is one of my favorites and I fully agree that the art has a very huge part in the game's success (at least in getting it picked up the shelves). I didn't back the Kickstarter but I've been keeping an eye on it. I'm a bit torn, because I have little interest in PbtA system, but...

It's hard to explain why, but as a french Canadian, this hit really hard. We were all proud to see a french canadian in Hollywood, and I've received several calls from friends and family saying how horrible it is. Along with Denis Villeneuve, they both became symbols of french Canadian cinema...
