I think drivethru should have a main genre for a game for the purpose of working out "best-selling". (and perhaps other stats) I'm not sure the utility of allowing as many genres as possible to be selected when a game wouldn't be viewed as that genre by purchasers. As examples: Dragon-Blooded...

I have a couple of nominations. Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying by Free League Publishing (Fria Ligan). Heart: The City Beneath RPG by Rowan, Rook & Decard. I'm not sure about when Exalted Essence (Onyx Path) will actually be released, but if its 2020 then there will be a lot of people...

Part of the attraction of WFRP is that the Career write-ups also help detail the setting of the Old World.

I was OK with the original cover art. This new one is OK as well. As far as I understand it so far, the rules aren’t being changed but they’re being presented to be less messy, and likely the points for the Tiers recosted so you can actually create a Tier 3 character by using the arrays given...

Castle Falkenstein. Loved the setting, hated using cards for the system.

What about the Trudvang Rules? Are they good? Are they bad? Are they chocolate?

No I have not. I think I want to. I think there is a system I would like to use. I think I know what genre it would be. But there it ends. Lack of time, an inability to turn the thoughts into words, all conspire against me.

I thought this is how people deal with death in RPGs. Did Jack Chick lie to me?

None yet. Check cubicle 7’s web site for updates.

Age of Sigmar feels to me like GW took the gonzo of WH40K and circled it around back to fantasy. Although I love my WFRP I am likely to pick at least the core book up. Having more Warhammer games ain’t a bad thing.

Bill Maher Yells at kids to get off his lawn, and stop doing things he doesn’t understand.

Another Powered By The Apocalypse post-apocalypse game is Legacy: Life Among The Ruins 2nd Edition. I think you could technically call Blades in the Dark post-apocalypse in that its fantasy world experienced an apocalypse but its focus isn't on Mad Max survival.

I think there's a difference between WotC selling a setting and a person in a basement creating their own setting for their own campaign. WotC are selling a product to people who don't want to spend the time to create their own setting and so must have enough details to attract buyers. The...

Perhaps referring to a lack of announcements from C7 and fans having to find and deliver the information to sites such as this...?

I'd just note that the bonus or penalties awarded can be very different. So a Persuaded person might have +1 to +5 to related actions, whereas Charm Person could be -10 to everything including AC (or how about minus X Hit Points per round due to the mental anguish fighting against the spell).

I like your explanation about the difference between Charm Person and Persuasion. One problem I see with games such as D&D is that they have a very detailed system for combat, and a very simple system for social interactions. And this causes some of the problems that this thread is discussing...

This sounds like a set up for an episode of Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (God's blessing on this wonderful world!). PC1: I've been cursed with this ring. If I take it off I'll die in two days. If I leave it on its only a matter of time before I'm disintegrated or the people seeking it...

What I mean is that the system in 2E only allowed Arcane Lore or Dark Lore taken once (unless you read the Journeyman Wizard career in a particular way - I was surprised you could read it such that allowed a character to have both Arcane Lore and Dark Lore). Which meant a wizard couldn't later...

I think you could add to this list: Cold City

I would like to see the following: The career system to remain. Without a doubt the careers system has been the best introduction to the Old World Setting and it would be a shame to see it dropped. A new system in general - D100 roll-under just feels limiting and contributes to the often...
