    Action Economy and Why Magic-Users Don't Wear Armor

    I meant in general as opposed to specifically targeting magic or magic-use. So a spell-caster wearing plate armor gets to walk slower than those with higher strength, and if you make use of fatigue points as mentioned above in spell casting, this resource also gets consumed by walking around...

    Action Economy and Why Magic-Users Don't Wear Armor

    Armor is heavy and requires higher strength to offset its penalties. Magic-users are not known for their prodigious might. So either fatigue and/or movement penalties. Or an armour-use skill/feat/talent to help offset penalties armor inflicts while worn, i.e. without training you cannot take...

    Starter Sets

    Often Starter Sets are as you say. But others have a useful purpose once the core rulebook is purchased.

    Carrying Dice (With Help)

    Huh? What do you think pocketsssss are for? Gollum should have answered Bilbo's riddle with "nassssty dices" and he would have been right, because Bilbo was carrying his DND dice in his other pocket.

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay vs Warhammer Age of Sigmar Roleplay

    I'm likely wrong with the timing. Now that you mention it the attempt could have been after FFG lost the license.

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay vs Warhammer Age of Sigmar Roleplay

    I think Zweihander is based of WFRP 1E and/or 2E' system but a completely different setting. I think the developer had intentions to get the WFRP license to publish but was not successful so published the system with a "numbers scraped off plus new terminology" setting. If you're looking for...

    Any Good Games Where Running Away Can Be A Victory?

    Are you looking for a rules system that supports such games, or scenario ideas? Blades in the Dark is a game where the PCs attempt a single operation with a particular goal. That goal might be murder for hire, but also can include thievery, extortion, dark rituals, and smuggling runs. The...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Vast Grimm, Squeaks in the Deep, Dreampunk, and more

    My impression of Pugmire was that it's D&D with anthropomorphic animals as character ancestries, which made me want to ask about Squeaks in the Deep: "Who are the Mindflayers? The Rats or Mice?" :)

    Urban Fantasy general discussion thread

    Looks like wikipedia has a definition of Urban Fantasy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_fantasy I think it matches what I thought of as being urban fantasy.

    Soulbound Starter Set Unboxing and Overview

    I like Soulbound, but for me WFRP will always be better. So I might pick up one or two supplements for Soulbound, but I'm planning at the very least to pick up the entire Enemy Within + Companion set. But what is good about Soulbound? I really like how they include guidelines on how to create...

    Dragonlance Elmore's 'The Four Women of Dragonlance' Painting Is Finished

    I guess it depends where in the timeline she is meant to be. I'm not sure whether she chose to wear black after Tanis died, but that could explain the color choice.

    Dragonlance Elmore's 'The Four Women of Dragonlance' Painting Is Finished

    The problem with Laurana is her size. She appears to be standing on the same horizontal as Goldmoon but is so much larger.

    2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu Is Here

    ... which, I think, means you should spend it immediately. I personally prefer individual Momentum pools myself so I wish the game didn't use a group pool. Some 2D20 games have this. But c'est la vie.

    2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu Is Here

    Pre-ordered already - both Player's Guide and Gamemaster's Guide. Player's Guide available to download. I just couldn't justify getting the deluxe all-in-one black book. And shipping ouch! But did it anyway.
