The Arkand and Magic Book KS has passed half a million and had to come up a second round of stretch goals.

With respect, as the gamer who is always trying new systems, I've seen the opposite reaction much more often where D&D gamers mock/denigrate non D&D games and players. It seems to be a combination of sunk cost fallacy syndrome and a defense mechanism to preserve the ego boost some gamers get...

I kid you not. In the Cypher System community content, there are two products were essentially the writer scooped out 5e and poured in Cypher. Every SRD spell, magic item, and other component has an equivalent to the point it would probably sound like you were playing D&D until the dice...

For me, I don't mind if someone wants to add a bit of D&D-ism to their home campaign. I roll my eyes, though, when someone suggests Dragonbane is "missing" something because it doesn't have a cleric or "needs" spell slots.

@Maggan No joke. The big Dragonbane fan discord give high praise for Troll Spire as a great into adventure.

So does the Black Rose setting have firearms? Or is it spells and crossbows? And always give me more Dragonbane!

In the local meta I was in back in the day, (Oklahoma college town, 1990s) the switch from melodrama vampire to fanged superhero came with the Sabbat book and the ability to use Paths instead of Humanity. As a side note, the LARP rules exploded for us and there were several events run by local...

I say that is highly likely as I hardly hear of anything coming out of Edge and it seems their production times are slower that the usual slow production times of a ttrpg.

I think Asmodee pulled all the rpgs from its subsidiaries and gave them to Edge, in part that art from French artists can be subsidized but now Edge has so many games under its own umbrella and not the staff to produce them all.

The Quickstart has now had two different adventures as they keep switching it out every year. The current Quickstart has the Sinking Tower, which is better but has a tournament vibe to it - even to the point of having a score sheet. According to the popular DB fan discord, Troll's Spire...

I hear you but then decades later I saw this and was sold on its Swedish cousin, Dragonbane.

Depends on how many spells per school. It looks promising as the Demonology school seems to have 17 spells,

Backing the KS gets you the Beta PDFs early, like in a few months later.

Nah. Then we need a Dex caster so Somatic components really count. :ROFLMAO:

I'd disagree and have used it often thanks to this setting. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/368745/esper-genesis-core-bundle-bundle

Called it. :ROFLMAO: As for verisimilitude-breaking, this is why the GM never says the last minute monster he came up with was a bear + special ability. As a player for Champions, and GM for Savage Worlds and Cypher, I haven't been too attached to new powers = must equal new mechanics for a...

If you ever wonder why a game needs so many additional rules and get the fun sucked out of it, the answer is "Tournaments," all the way down. Being a big fan of 1970s/1980s fantastical fiction, I've been exposed to so much genre mashing that psionics seems sci-fi leaning but not exclusive from...

Nah. Dark Gamma World Sun!
