Yah I can't vote in this poll because it has implied assumptions I am unaware of, then tells me to use my own standard....but by my own standard I'd use the terms "combat that is not fun vs. combat that is fun." In Pathfinder 2E, as an example, any combat that is more than 4 CR below the group...

Purely my own take, but I feel that both halflings and gnomes got boosts in the 00's and onward due to the Lord of the Rings movie popularizing halflings and the World of Warcraft MMO making gnomes crazy, weird and distinctly playable in concept, leading to a shift in the way other games and...

I am envious. My current group is so old and jaded that I feel like they are constantly playing the metagame of: wait for GM to bait the hook, then obediently bite and follow. But my preferred GMing style is to provide lots of options then wait for the players to surprise me, challenge me, with...

Backing Batman, this is the only Kickstarter I am willing to go all in on currently.

I have and run Mothership regularly, and I own the PDF of Death in Space (waiting for the physical copy) and am prepping a campaign. These are two rather different takes on the genre. You could argue they fall under the umbrella of space horror in the same way Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: The...

Backed! I love it when my secret Batman obsession converges with my more obvious RPG obsession. I still remember the awesome MEGs edition Batman RPG from the old Mayfair days.

The original two book boxed set for Spelljammer totalled about 192 pages as well. It had a lot of cardboard sheets (common for the time) and a couple maps, too.

Thanks...yeah I figured that out after I did a bit of post-panic-post research LOL

Wait....$150??? I thought the slipcase set was less. Okay need to research. EDIT: Comprehension failure on my part. $70. Okay then. I can totally understand how this would be a tough sell overall, but I am in the crowd that was ready to fork out $150 for three books if they were full size...

Yes this here is why I like the format.

Looks like the set is $50* for three books, slipcase, map and screen.....good price for me! (I don't do minis). True on that being the era of settings, though. I was in to Spelljammer, Planescape, Dark Sun, and Ravenloft but I did not go anywhere near Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk or Birthright...

I'm running a 5E campaign right now using the 2E Spelljammer books so going to be really interesting to see how the setting changes. Either way....super excited for this. I wonder if the lack of excitement for the couple others posting here so far is because they either have their "sweet...

Hey just gonna throw this out: Starfinder is an amazing setting, but I think it would be much better paired with a system, like, say, Savage Worlds (hint hint). Pinnacle please get the license to Savage up Starfinder!

I'd buy it, but I bet the shipping fees alone would be killer.

That is a lot of legitimately accurate not-April-One news. Even the NuTSR stuff, which had me going for a moment before I realized you were serious.

OMG

Look, I have a ten year old son at home who is dying to play this book just from the images. I started the hobby when I was ten, and I think I'd have been really excited at a product like this. For some people, the homelife was pretty bad, and some humor is kind of vital to being able to relax...

A new book updating Sigil and Planescape to 5E would be awesome, but I have to admit a lot of stuff on DMsGuild does that really well right now (but still, after the new Ravenloft, its hard not to want a new Planescape!) Still, I am much more excited for new settings and new concepts these...

Well, D&D is supposed to appeal to a broad spectrum of ages and peoples. It's okay for it to have a book that isn't explicitly grimdark.

These anthologies are much needed for my games, as I do not have the time to invest as DM in 250+ page giant campaigns, and the short form scenario is much easier for me to integrate into my own setting.
