    Shadowdark Finally Played Shadowdark

    I don’t know, it feels like it means both monsters and regular NPCs, certainly the ‘You're not supposed to have a reasonable chance for a check’ is not in comparison to monsters in most stories those monsters are not the 1HD kind (‘1HD monsters are supposed to have a 50/50 shot of their damage...

    but this very much sounded like it which is what I replied to

    Shadowdark Finally Played Shadowdark

    it’s not the rules light I was commenting on but that supposedly the characters should be weak, below average, sucking at things and dying like flies. 5e is more heroic than I would like, but this sounds like it way overshot in the other direction Esp. with none of that being pointed out in...

    Shadowdark Finally Played Shadowdark

    yeah, if it is designed to be played like that, then lead with this, instead of having people discover it over their first dozen TPKs

    sounds awful, no wonder @Retreater bounced off it

    Have you taken a look at Land of Eem? It's kind of a modern-ish, relatively simple OSR, maybe it fits what you are looking for https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/322009/land-of-eem-rpg-quickstart-guide The books are 30% off right now...

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    on the upside, since it is digital only, that is easy to fix

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    since we are talking about combining things, had this in my inbox yesterday, thinking of adding that into my mix https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/voidsea/voidsea

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    jeez, what is up with all these old designers having naughty word ideas and not having the decency / awareness to keep their mouths shut

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    when looking into this yesterday, I saw that he partnered with either Catalyst Games and / or Quimbley, but neither partnership seems to have produced anything. I assume the announcement would have been about that though Catalyst has an announcement, but so far nothing came of it as far as I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    same, just not liking the new cover, at all, not that SCAG was great… thematically they are similar, but at least I prefer the actual picture for SCAG over the new one

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    agreed to me these characters are about as blurred as the mage from SCAG, no one is even remotely crisp

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    How many pages is Cthulhu by Torchlight (approximately)? The description mentions a dozen subclasses, 20 monsters, and some other stuff that should not need a lot of room. I would guess somewhere between 64 and 80 pages as a PDF, but ultimately I have no real idea. Is there anything included...

    D&D General Cthulhu by Torchlight Brings Mythos To D&D

    yeah, looks like Petersen Games was swallowed by the void / Covid shipping prices, oops. Bought a bunch of their Mythos 5e PDFs maybe two years ago, did not expect them to disappear

    I assume the PDF is still for sale

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    your generalization is accurate, I like 2e and 3e though, at least some of it (Elmore, Parkinson, Lockwood the most). I like the ‘oil painting style’ over the ‘digital brush’ one (Stawicki), they always end up blurry / lacking detail, and these days they all go digital… still the FR Players...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    The first picture, the one for the Player's Guide, the whole thing is blurry / not crisp. The only thing that is, is the text, so to me the picture is just a bad, low detail, blurry mess. That has nothing to do with my device and everything with the picture. I circled the most egregious parts...

    D&D 5E (2024) Here's The Covers of BOTH of November's Forgotten Realms Books

    they look out of focus / blurry, obviously this is not a camera picture of the cover page though, so they technically aren't. The only way to really tell is that the font is sharp though...
