    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    German Das schwarze Auge players ? German Hexxen 1733 players ? More sedate release schedule ? Ah no. The opposite is the case. Nothing beats the book hunger of a die hard DSA player. :ROFLMAO: The have a freaking spin off from DSA were you play intellect cats that is at double digits number...

    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    You realize that this is are very unimpressive numbers. Even compared to publishers that are slower with support like lets use Free League, Pinnacle or Cubicle 7 as example. Compared to the ones that really pure out support for their lines like lets say Paizo or Ulisses in Germany that is barely...

    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    And how many books have these settings each ? Compared to what else is available as RPG settings that actually are supported by publishers these barely even count as real settings.

    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    On its own decent release. A setting book, a monster book and an adventure. That is a good start for a setting. But well with WotC these days the start is the end. Planescape is done and they will look for the next thing that they won't commit too either. Rinse an repeat. You won't get a well...

    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    I am long burned out on that kind of low effort for maximum profit product lines for settings. Even before 5E. I already started to dislike it in 4E with Eberron, Forgotten Realms and Dark Sun.

    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    Its my own take for my own personal buying decision. I have no use for single products for old books lines that I already know and have. I will buy it if WotC Coast makes a actual line of it that supports the setting and add new and interesting stuff to it. That product so far can in no way or...

    Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Review

    Thanks. Now I know that I don't need to bother with it. I still have all my old Planescape boxes and books. They will serve me better then a on and off product that was designed to prey on my nostalgia. I didn't want to give my money to WotC and still was tempted. Its Planescape after all. But...

    Final Fantasy XIV Getting an Official TTRPG

    Well while MERP might not have been the best fit out of a rule perspective it still had some very nice sourcebooks for playing in Middle Earth. And yes it was an is still a very good Rolemaster Light. I still liked it enough to immediately back that "Against the Darkmaster" MERP clone. in the...

    Final Fantasy XIV Getting an Official TTRPG

    I know an wholeheartedly agree. My post was a reply to someone who considered it a mistake to not make it a 5E game. :) These days I don't buy 5E versions of games that actually have their own original system. I got burned out of that habit already in in the 3E/d20 days. Also I play very few...

    Final Fantasy XIV Getting an Official TTRPG

    Mhhh. I see MP at two of these sheets. At the spellcaster classes. And at least as much stuff under the numbers for the non casters to do. So even if this is based on 5E ist seems to be quite modified.

    Final Fantasy XIV Getting an Official TTRPG

    Mine as well. D&D 5E is a popular game but it isn't a requirement to a successful game. I backed that Free League Moria kickstarter that offered the supplement in both versions. The One Ring and 5E and I was surprised how outnumbered the 5E version was. FF XIV has 3 million of active players If...

    Final Fantasy XIV Getting an Official TTRPG

    Why exactly ? Its a tabletop rpg for Final Fantasy XIV. That is a MMO that is longer running than 5E and still has more then 3 million active players per day. I assume that the developers know their audience very well and know what they want or like in their game. They don't depend on D&D 5E to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Limiting Short Rests to 2x/day

    I am currently playing Baldur's Gate currently and I have my doubts about that. You can almost always take a long rest after any combat. Imho Larian put in the short rest a as nod to those familiar with D&D5 and not much more. The computer game is balanced per single combat encounter and it is...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Moria, Tombpunk, TTRPG Conventions, and more

    Me neither. It would feel too much like D&D with Middle Earth trappings to me. Its The One Ring for me aswell. But I will admit that I have a soft spot for MERP/Against the Darkmaster. MERP was the second RPG I played after starting with Das Schwarze Auge 1E in my youth. I have so many good...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Moria, Tombpunk, TTRPG Conventions, and more

    Damn those numbers of One Ring fans in the Moria kickstarter are making me smile. I don't want to begrudge the 5E fans their version of the books but we are in a time in our hobby where its like the 3E/d20 glut gain just with 5E. Its nice to see to that the One Ring as system isn't depending on...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Oh so true. But looking back I love 4E for it. No other D&D edition and very few other RPGs teached me so much about rule mechanics as 4E. My old D&D editions (including 5E currently) are collecting dust on my shelves. Some 4E books I still pull out from time to time for reference and looking...

    Who Are The Biggest TTRPG Crowdfunders of All Time?

    True but he asked to report the ones he missed. And given that Ulisses Spiele is a top 10 candidate that mostly generates their money with RPG crowdfundings I did my job and reported.... :)

    Who Are The Biggest TTRPG Crowdfunders of All Time?

    Kickstarter is not the only game in town. :D For example go to gameontabletop.com and search for Ulisses an then be prepared to do a lot of addition. Ulisses Spiele sits there on over 7,5 Million (if I didn't miscalculate) Euros of Crowdfundings. They use gameontabletop as crowdfunding and...

    TSR NuTSR Declares Bankruptcy

    Oh my. Now I know why the folks over at RPG.net added a [Go Fash, No Cash] a short while ago to the title of a very long going thread about nuTSR. :ROFLMAO:
