I am running this in PF2 via Foundry and it's a great adventure that I think would work for 5E pretty well. If you have the physical or PDF copies of it, I can't think of a reason to buy this for Beyond. Trying to run this in Maps compared to Foundry would make my cry. There are map sets out...

They did one for the beta, and Derik spent the amount of time you'd expect him to on it. He's said they're doing one for the full release since he backed it, it will just be a bit. From reading the books, it's crunchy and I think it has enough similarities to 4E that I wasn't lost. I think I...

I just watched the video and I think Matt is engaged with the game quite strongly. It was also made at the time of launch and I think he had a bunch of things going on for the game. But he was involved with the game, asked a bunch of questions, and was generally helpful. I think Matt and I have...

While I wouldn't say it's bad, it's more of a nothing announcement. Maps is what it is. I'm playing 5E in Roll20 right now, and it has all the issues Roll20 has always had. My DM was looking at Sigil, and we voted it down. He looked at Maps but didn't even have us in for a trial of the system...

That's a good question. For me, you have the expenses of the PDFs and the Foundry modules too. And that compares to $0 for Pathfinder 2 (and, as I understand it, Starfinder 2). And D&D set me back $30 for the PHB and $30 for the adventure path I picked out. For Cosmere, everything is new, so...

I've just downloaded the two files and my first comment is that this looks really good. The backer packets they had really didn't look that great. The final file looks fantastic. I don't know if I'll be playing this game, but I'm enjoying starting to read, and it looks great.

As someone who played Avatar, I think it's going to be a different experience than with Cosmere. I played a campaign of Avatar and had a fantastic time. Everyone else, including the GM who went all in on the game, hated it. That was because what they were expecting was a kick-butt game of...

I think they sort of have ditched classes. You have levels, and then each level you can pick a talent from different talent trees. Each tree has an entry talent but then several options in a tree to work off of. From what I understand, the designer was one of the designers for FFG Star Wars, so...

I have to agree that the game was released to a resounding… nothing. Usually when a game gets released EnWorld covers it and I didn’t even see that. There have been a couple of videos on Knights of Last Call covering the game and it looks … fine, I guess. It’s a D20 variant with some narrative...

Do you mind if I ask what the appropriate age group is? I suspect my daughter (9) is a bit too young for them, but she loves several Minecraft series, and so I get them recommended to me. Don't want to give her nightmares!

That would be a very big deal. It will be very interesting to see if this one happens. It would mark a big change in the landscape for RPGs.

I wanted to comment about this for a couple of different reasons. The first is that I wanted to show support for creators who've been caught up in this and had products taken down. I've helped a number of creators who have used itch.io as a platform, but none of them have said their stuff has...

This is an area where I'd love to hear people who've read this series talk about: what's special about this that it shouldn't just be a sourcebook for another game?

I got the same as an email. Pretty exciting. As a Warhammer Quest fan, I'm stoked for this to finally happen.

Just a comment on this. There are a lot of games coming out or just released. Daggerheart has (in my opinion, obviously) shaken the whole release structure up. I haven't seen any mention of Cosmere (although Knights of Last Call are covering it) and that was a $15 million Kickstarter...

I think this is a very good question, and it's an important one to discuss. And I'm going to say right at the start that this is only my opinion. The latest Kickstarter that arrived for me was the offset printing of Ashes Without Number. I backed that for the book + PDF for $80. Will I play...

It seems to me that you're using the ‘skim lightly and largely ignore what's inconvenient’ challenge. I'm not sure what you're even arguing. Its totally cool not to like CR or Daggerheart. Feeling that way because some of the players are new or not handling things the best, okay. Then those of...

Sometimes I’m able to predict replies to what I post. Read the second paragraph in what I just posted as it was meant to specifically address this concern. Of course you can criticize CR! I am not a Critter, although to have watched a fair bit of CR. None of the cast are the best gamers out...

I’m sorry, are we really being critical of someone,who is part of the most successful actual play show for gaming ever, for a simple mistake? As part of a highly successful new show promoting a brand new rpg? I only know a couple of people who think could handle being on CR. I would just suggest...

Thinking of board games, many years ago I was in London and picked up the Dungeons and Dragons Adventure game from Parker Brothers. It was entirely a board game with 3E iconics as characters. The next couple of years I bought the expansions for it too. It was not D&D, but it was a great product...
