Thanks again MT. These are very good history lessons as well as enjoyable strolls back through the past issues.

This looks so interesting. Mechanics and setting-wise. I have spent a lot of time entwining African-inspired mythos/cultures into my fantasy games. I still rate Chris Dolunt's "Nyambe: African Adventures" (Atlas Games) as one of my favourite 'settting' books. Coriolis uses an Arabic base and...

We have developed an Inspiration Deck. Each card has something new you can do on it (not always advantage). We also have a different XP system which grants extra cards, but yeah, we found normal inspiration pretty boring. More inspired by Savage Worlds and their Bennies and Adventure Deck :D

People arguing that this is 'way too complex for 5E'...? I am sure why that is why it did not make the 5E rules set. This is a House Rule Mike is trying out. It is NOT for official 5E. How about we go with that? For certain campaigns, such as those that focus on swashbuckling, I think this...

I have banned things on a thematic level. For eg, 'no resurections' in this gritty campaign. Death is final. Maybe skew water-based spells for a Dark Sun game. (I believe I introduced a check for Create Water in current game).

I have never banned anything for mechanical/balance issues. I am very open to any source, official or not. However, I have limited things for thematic/campaign reasons. I believe settings are defined just as much by what is not present, as to what is present. So, each setting I write has a set...

Awesome. I love random charts :) I have written a lot of these myself and this seems similar to one of my favourite all-purpose rpg books: AEG's 'Ultimate Toolbox'.

My favourite new system I have played. I love writing for this system, so looking forward to the OGL. Playing Star Wars using Coriolis rules (with house rules and additions).

Also stoked to hear the Year Zero engine gong OGL. I have already written a fair bit of stuff for this system, including enough of a Star Wars conversion :)

Same. And one time I did it. http://connorssettings.wikidot.com/summer-isle-home

Great news. The M:YZ line of books are among my favourites. The system (esp as presented in Coriolis) is brilliant and converted, the best system I have used for our Star Wars games :)

5 out of 5 rating for Coriolis: The Third Horizon Backed this on Kickstarter.... Wow. This book (and package) is a game that inspired me to start writing for the system straight away. The setting is fantastic, the rules are great fun. The production values are unbelievable. On top of this, the...

Thanks again MT. These are fun. For what it's worth, out group just got a copy of Adventures In Middle Earth 5E Player's Guide. :) Having a read now :)

Off top of my head, 2E had the lizardman in the Complete Book of Humanoids. 3E? But it seemed easy to work with the PC race from the MM. There was a FR supplement that probably included them. 4E MM had brief stats for some races in the appendix. Kobolds there, but no lizardfolk. Even bullywugs...

As a player, railroading is my biggest issue. So that is a problem with these all-encompassing long-term adventure paths. As a DM I can't stick to them either. :( I still buy them for ideas. I tried to run one, but had a lot of difficulty sticking to the main path. I prefer to go on tangents...

Thanks again MT - from another fellow Aussie :P

Hey, thanks Mike. Sounds good. Shipping might be a little more (I live in Australia), but that is usual. Thanks for this. Sounds like a big discount on the setting book :)

Cool. Thanks guys. I will only add the extras if I can get a hardcopy book for the setting. Otherwise, I think I may have to head to DriveThru and order a copy ;)

Sounds awesome, though it's a shame I missed the original Mists of Akuma - very interested in an Asian-influenced setting :)

Awesome. Missed the previous Kickstarter for 'Loop'. I still hope to pick up the book and look set to back this one. I have Mutant: Year Zero and Coriolis versions of these games. They are a lot of fun. I love the core mechanic. The hit points and mind points version in Coriolis is better than...
