So the question I am proposing is this: How will Critical Role Season 4 be Critical Role? Well, what unifies the previous seasons? What traits do they share that make them Critical Role seasons as opposed to other APs that the Critical Role studio has released up to this point? 1) It's D&D...

I had a good friend once say this felt like my theme song. I hadn't heard it before but yeah, she nailed.

Another issue: How often are new books released? And as a longtime consumer of gaming, how often are new editions released? Ex: Chaosium puts out a new hardcover for Call of Cthulhu about 3-5 times a year which run $40-60. I can deal with that and don't buy every release. The current edition of...

Right now, $75 for a single book would make me balk but I could see my way to do it, if it felt "complete." Roughly $60? Sure. Like once a quarter. Small A5 type ttrpgs? $45 would be my balk point, but say 30-40? Sure thing. Will these numbers change in say 3-5 years? Unfortunately yeah. My...

Basically, I am always more concerned with what people do because of what they believe than what they believe. Believe in ghost, in existence beyond death? Cool. How does it inform on how you live, how you treat others? Ghosts aren't real? Sure thing. Same question as above.

Like a lot of supernatural or fortean weirdness, I am agnostic when it comes to ghosts. I don't actively insist that they are real, and I expect that any given ghost siting has a non-ghost explanation. But if I were wrong, I would accept it. Ghosts are possible but unlikely.

I like what I am seeing. Just curious to see how they will be laid out on the books themselves. If these represent a wrap around, it will come off real awkward for the heroes book, as the dynamic portion with the recognizable characters would be on the back cover to make the spread work...

Not a fan of the cards being crowdfunded in that it means the turn around time on them will be longer. I get that there are cost reasons to do it this way, but if there is a crunch occurring this early on, it is distressing. But then again, while I do want new product on shelves before years...

I was responding to the previous post.

When OA came out in the 80s, Ninjas were of course big in the US, which would culminate with TMNT popularity into the 90s. As a 10 yr old with the book, I loved it. I had no frame of comparison for how inaccurate it was culturally or how insulting its assumptions and assertions were for many...

Truth be told, OA wasn't aimed at Asian markets. It was squarely aimed at the core US gamer base and it of course shows for the time.

Wait.... TSR passed on doing a Lodoss War setting? Feels on brand.

So is part of the issue the timing of the Kickstarter. 2024 and the mixed reception release for DnD'24 had people hungry for alternatives. And we got a lot of high profile attempts to push into the DnD space. Draw Steel. Daggerheart. Tales of the Valiant. And yeah, they all had to compete for...

I might just need those dice, though I do have a blood splatter dice set already.... choices choices.

I like what I am seeing. Keeps things very stripped down and simple mechanically.

So I am curious. This is labeled as a Chaosium product on a WotC platform. Curious to know how much Chaoium worked on this or is it just brand synergy?

I picked up Sany Peterson's Cthulhu Mythos a couple years ago which seems much more exhaustive than this. So even though I'm an avid CoC player, probably not picking this one up anytime soon.

Real Talk, I don't see the cover when it' on my shelf, just the spine.

The chips I got when visiting my Grandmother, made in beef tallow, which always ran the risk of burning down her kitchen, were objectively the best. Skinned potato, soaked in water then thick cut, dried, and into the fryer. Not from frozen. Closest match is the steak fries. But yeah, best chips.

Same. Not sure I will get these, as I am not looking to run a FR campaign in the immediate future, but FOMO is real and I get the alt covers whenever possible.
