Failsafe is a fine movie, but Strangelove is better IMO.

Not able to wat h the video at work now, any info on how the Adventure booklets are setup, or even their ToC? Any idea on page count?

I mean, it is already an order of magnitude bigger than Shadowdark: not to diss Dhadowdark, but it has a customer base just over 12,000, based on the Kickstarters: Daggerheart seems to be in the hundreds of thousands, based on the Demiplane data. Still a fraction of the overall market, but...

Well, well, well... How the turns table.

Do it, it is superb.

Solid ranking. Though ranking Kubrick films is a little bit like ranking Beethoven Symphonies: clearly there is an obvious best one, but you can't exactly go wrong with any work in the list 2001 is, simply, one if the very best films ever made. I really love Dr. Strangelove and Barry Lyndon...

Physical shipping of Stormlight has begun, and should be done in the next couple of months. In the meantime, the designers have shared this art pieces from the upcoming Mistborn RPG: “Car Chase” by Carson Lowmiller "Here’s a fun depiction of a Twinborn making a daring Ironpull leap to stay...

Mathematically, there is a lot of OGL tech in place. The vibe is old school, but the rules have a 3E base and build new takes that are actually more innovative than they are retro, with the aim of relocating pulp literature more than older edition gameplay.

There is a lot of d20 DNA in there.

I mean, WotC did just that in the D&D Next process, went over every prior edition woth a fine tooth comb.

The Year 3 products of 4E were unpopular compared to the first two hears: that's why WotC pivoted hard on their product line at that time.

I'm not in the program myself (though some posters here are or have been in the past), nor are there exact numbers, but it is people.outside, often well outside, the designers inner circles. That's what makes WotC desogn different from TSR's, from as far back as the 90s based on the syste.s they...

I mean, on the one hand I am with you, but on the other hand the history of D&D games has a certain Russian roulette cycle: the next one could be a masterpiece or a massive dud. Who knows??

A focused selection of options makes sense.

I'd like to see it as a Setting book for 5E (and it is worth noting that the new DMG does have a paragraph about how to manager a genre-bending gonzo science Fantasy post-apocalyose Setting...and thst paragraph is titled "Gamma World"). Make it very weird, embrace the Gonzo.

Because nobody wanted it, so it didn't sell. The current design philosophy, across industries, is focusing on user needs. UA is about figuring out what people actually want or don't want, so they can focus on making stuff people will actually use. Math balance is a different issue entirely.

The 4E Dark Sun Templar was a Warlock Subclass.

They do the latter in their private playtest network: the public tests are just a smell test. Prevents stuff like "Magic of Incarnum" from happening.

Sounds about what it should be, the While the non-Lost Mines stuff added on is not of the same caliber as the original portion...the latter chapters are pretty lootablez including some pretty wild dungeons.
