How do you (or do you?) see this interacting with the Sandy Petersen Cthulhu Mythos stuff? It kinda sounds like they'd be complementary in most respects, rather than treading on each other's toes, but hard to say so far.

I actually think the problem with the rules was less about it not working for the theme and tone of CoC (arguably very low level d20 CoC characters are more fragile than BRP CoC characters, and if you're playing in such a way that they're leveling up to 10th level, you've only got yourself to...

Ah, good catch. Thanks.

Man, I have very strong opinions on the d20 Call of Cthulhu. Strong enough that I'll probably keep them to myself. But it was both one of my favorite gaming books of all time, and yet also really disappointing in its inability in many ways to live up to its promise. I just re-read it again for...

Given that I'm not really very into 5e, I'd rather see it for sale on Drive Thru. Looks like it's not cross-listed there, at least not yet.

Secondary world full blown fantasy combined with horror is right up my alley. That said, I think it's already pretty well-served by a lot of products. Heck, even specifically "Lovecraftian 5e" has already been done pretty extensively by Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos book and the various...

What's an AL GM? I presume it doesn't mean that he GM's in Alabama, because that shouldn't be any more of a tough gig than anywhere else.

Mike's post deals in generalizations. Just because you can find exceptions doesn't mean that it isn't true. Life is like a scatterplot. While individual data points can be anywhere, that doesn't mean that patterns aren't real. Just because GURPS and Hero existed in the 80s doesn't mean that the...

And yet, you are that guy anyway. :p

Still trying to figure out exactly what it means that Deathbringer will 1) be a ShadowDark title, and 2) be standalone. To make a comparison; is it like Savage Pathfinder, which recreates the Savage World rules, the Pathfinder campaign setting, is completely compatible with them, and yet stands...

DLCs? LOL!

When I'm perfectly relaxed and someone says to me "Dude. Relax." that's a guaranteed formula to make me not relaxed.

Not really. I'm an optimist. But that was crazy. A set designed to match exactly what happened almost four years ago is not great timing, even in the most optimistic interpretation that anyone can reasonably make.

My youngest son likes them best. But, to be fair, that's because he doesn't really like fries for their own sake, and waffle fries will hold the most barbecue sauce.

Steak fries a la Red Robin, with Red Robin seasoning liberally applied, and Tabasco or Cholula drenched all over them. Or Red Robin's beer cheese. Plus, they're bottomless.

Looks like it's aligned with the last season, so I'd say rather than a good drop date, it's a good three and a half years too late.

I didn't realize that was Elle Fanning. I'm a little tired of seeing Zendaya in everything though, as her costar there.

Are you recommending it, or commenting on the fact that it hasn't been mentioned? I'll admit that even though I'm obviously familiar with Waterdeep, I've never read any of the various Waterdeep books. I do have the old 3e version kicking around in a box somewhere, though.

I'd further the recommendations for Sharn and Freeport, and add one of my own after a little bit of commentary. Sharn is very Eberron specific. As cool as it is, as a kind of noir fantasy New York, it probably doesn't work for most other settings. It is, however, probably the coolest single...

I notice Hell in Freeport is completely missing from their online catalog, the Freeport bundle, Drive Thru, etc. Anyone know why? I can buy a used hard copy easily enough, but I find that very curious. Did it somehow fall afoul of some debacle?
