I've never heard of the Age of Worms setting/adventure path and I noticed it isn't available @ drivethrurpg. Was it something that was published in one of the WotC magazines?

I'll ditto the Elder Scrolls - it's the setting I'd most like to see get an official adaptation. But oh man, would I ever NOT want it to be adapted to D&D 5e as some of the Bethesda Softworks staff already attempted. Thankfully -in an ironic way- their efforts were guilty of plagerism and got...

I worded my OP incorrectly. What I actually meant to say is that I'm aware that the STA Player's Guide doesn't contain the rules for the game like for instance the D&D 5e Player's Handbook does. Your comments are much appreciated. It sounds like the STA PG brings a good number of meaningful...

I consider myself and over cautious purchaser and tend to over-research a TTRPG before I invest in it - even sometimes hanging out in the forums dedicated to it to gauge what folks are saying. So it's quite rare when I buy one that it doesn't meet my expectations and not defy them. The one that...

The grade the 2d20 thread got me cracking open my STA CRB again. After I built a crew member in a VTT and got the virtual dice rolling, I've decided I'm going to commit to running an adventure around an IRL table and an adventure via VTT. So...I'm wondering what the STA Player's Guide adds to...

What about this map. It's more of an exterior view, but a simple, top-down view in JPG format. Brought to you courtesy of the Emirates Nuclear Nuclear Energy Corp. :p You could put a grid on it with any one of a number of mapping or drawing apps and treat it as an internal view. Of course if...

Oh yes, I did indeed miss those thumbnails at the top left side of the main product image. While I can't say I love the art, it is an improvement over RCE. It reminds me of the art in some other TTRPG book I own, or once owned, but I can't put my finger on exactly which one?

Yup, I'd ditto those as the best features of the rules.

I found the Organizations rules in the True20 Experts Handbook to be interesting and quite effective. There's a lot of diversity among organizations, and they can range in size from a small company of 3-5 players to a horde with 330k+ members. Designed for a universal RPG, those rules present a...

I'm interested in acquiring the Core and Accomplice books for this, but Mongoose Publishing books in my Canadian city are non-existant in game or book stores. When I've asked if LGSs can bring them in, the answer has always been no. Meanwhile the mongoosepublishing.com store doesn't seem to be...

You only needed to state this in your review "Gone are the cards from Red Clearance Edition", to peak my interest. I played the original back in the day briefly as an aside to regular RRing at my college D&D club. That was with the more advant garde members of the club and we had a blast. My...

Beginning with the SWADE edition, IMO you can run RAW and still achieve Pinnacle Entertainment's slogan of "Fast, Furious and Fun" for game play. The majority of players I've run campaigns for have gotten to the point with the rules, where game play becomes smooth. There were a couple of snags...

I'm just going to chime in and say I think ModernAGE was a good choice. The optional Modes in that edition of the Adventure Gaming Engine, fixes problems with HP bloat and low defenses that existed in Dragon Age and Fantasy Age. I'd caution against going with anything more generous than the...

I came to the party late for this TTRPG with the free (at the time) D6 Space being my entry point. I ran the free Septimus setting with those rules which went reasonably well, although IIRC it presented some rough edges which limited the length of my campaign. A few years later I bought a cheap...

I was late to the party on GURPS, only ever buying the 4e Character and Campaign PDFs. Maybe it's because I came in so late and missed the earlier glory of the source books, but GURPS hasn't grabbed me and I've never run it. I voted "It's alright I guess." I've only played it twice -1st...

If you bought your license directly from fantasygrounds.com, you would have had to register with them and there'd be a way to prove ownership - provided you still have access to the email account you used. If it was the older Fantasy Grounds Classic you bought, there's a discount if you upgrade...

For me it wasn't so much of a switch, but more that I started with Roll20, then bought Fantasy Grounds and eventually Foundry too. At one point I was using all 3, but eventually stopped using Roll20 due to the cost. I didn't find learning any of those 3 VTTs paticularly difficult, so switching...

I wasn't aware there were so many VTTs - yikes! I only knew of 6 of those and of them, have only GMd with 3. I've gotten familiar enough with the 3 I've used (Foundry, Fantasy Grounds and Roll20) that I can succesffully run a campaign with many features enabled with any of them. What I use is...

I'm OK with the idea of a new Star Wars RPG and might even buy it. It'd have to not have proprietary play mechanics like FFG's special dice though, for me to buy into it. I'll differ from others here, in that I don't want anything that's based upon an adaption to a D&D ruleset - like the...

There's no doubt that the popularity of 2 franchises which started in the 1960's with novels, movies and in the case of Star trek -multiple TV series- is part of the reason. IMO though, that's not all of it. I've read on a number of forums and blogs that Paramount Consumer Products is quite...
