A few of these have been out for months now (e.g. the two 'Shadows of the Demon Lord' titles and the Lord of the Rings title), as pdf's on rpg.now. Perhaps this article is referring to hardcover books being released to local gaming stores?

Perhaps the new "Tails of Equestria" (My Little Pony rpg, 2017) will add a new age category for those younger than 18.

I don't usually play Collectable Card Games, but that Traveller game looks very well suited for that genre. Even if you don't play the game, I'm guessing the card decks would work great for random events in any space game (e.g Paizo's upcoming Starfinder).

Just received the first two adventures in this series (wow...that was fast for a kickstarter project!). They look fantastic. Lots of advice/tips for new players & DMs throughout the adventures. It looks very easy to convert these adventures to Forgotten Realms: - The starting village of Corbin...

I guess ENWorld (Morrus) should get ready for about 11,000+ people looking for 7th Sea news & content around October (the Kickstarter fulfilment date)... :)

Count me as one of the people who had heard very little about this game. But the excitement (thanks ENWorld) got me curious. In the very least, I can raid the $40 worth of old/new sourcebooks for my other games. From the free (* with $1 project backing) Quick-start guide seems interesting...

I loved RuneQuest back in the day. So a few years ago, when we had a break from our regular d20/D&D game, I decided to DM RuneQuest for my players who had never tried it. Level-less, and class-less were aspects of the rpg I found really appealing. Unfortunately, all the things that...

I want to start with a different 'twist' on the opening chapter: Ilvara and the other drow jailers have already been 'touched' by madness. Instead of holding the prisoners until they can be delivered to Menzoberranzan, they are using the prisoners to hunt them for sport (similar to "The most...

All arguments about how often (%) a fumble comes up are somewhat moot if the DM makes the monsters suffer the same consequences of rolling a fumble. Tactically, both sides of the combat should suffer the same amount of "1's".

Holdenshire: Is there a nod to AD&D's "Haranshire" from the Night Below boxed set?

When I hear "sword and sorcery" classic tropes, I think bronze age, magic is evil/bad and rare. Is this the case with Scarred lands? Did they have to modify the 3e ruleset to accommodate this? (e.g. change spell-casting classes, modify weapons, etc)

For someone who had played in the older version of Scarred Lands; how did that setting differ from any other high-fantasy setting? (E.g. Forgotten Realms) All I got from the Kickstarter intro was that the world was formed by gods and titans...which doesn't sound much different than any other...

Everyone's tastes may vary. But from myself and my players (who have tried both RuneQuest and D&D), here are our opinions: D&D class system makes it a little faster to create a 'stereotype' character (fighter, wizard, etc). It optimizes all your choices for you (armor proficiencies...

In the past, I've never been a big fan of Forgotten Realms (high magic, with famous NPCs that overshadow the PCs). However, I must admit I'm one of the people who succumbed to WotC's multi-media marketing strategy: the novels and MMO (Neverwinter) wet my appetite for the Realms.

Well, it is pretty difficult to tell anything about the product: if you ignore all the WotC clip footage, there is only about 20 seconds of actual video of the Virtual product. What does this product bring to the table (<-- bad pun) that other Virtual Table Top (VTT) programs don't? Who would...

I can't wait to see The Lost City of Barakus get the 5e treatment.

How easy is it for a DM to add custom content in the form of hyperlinked 'pins' on a map? On your screenshots for example, I would assume that the "Waterdeep" pin on the regional map takes (hyperlinks) the user to the Waterdeep city map and write-up. How easy would it be to put 'pins' on that...

Love the pin map! I vary rarely use electronic aids at my table, but I'd use that!

That is a good guess, considering the short write-up of the next book (from Amazon). Perhaps, but we can deduct that some time has passed between the final events of Archmage (homecoming book 1) and the Rage of Demons: Out of the Abyss table-top adventure: When the PCs first meet King Bruenor...

Obviously Kimmuriel (psionicaly) knows what happened (hardcover, page 351-352), he says "Gromph...summoned... [whisper] Demogorgon." And likely a 4th person also knows that Gromph summoned Demogorgon: Matron Mother Zeerith Xorlarrin (Hardcover: epilogue, page 361-362), the candid conversation...
