Good Gawd, that cover art is awful. It doesn't evoke Eberron's style and atmosphere at all.

Is Eana the same world as in the Shadows of Esteren game?

Pathfinder 2e has continued the use of the iconic characters from 1e, using the exact same characters. Do you like the use of iconic characters?

I'm not impressed with the binding on the standard edition core rulebook. The covers feel like they will eventually tear away. Does anyone know if the deluxe edition is hardier?

Thanks! I also just realized I originally said "3d6" rather than "2d6". Not that it really matters. Sorry to have hijacked the thread!

The whole system has radical changes; it isn't house ruled D&D, but an entirely new thing that uses 5e concepts. There is no expertise or AC -- it uses armor as damage reduction, and attacks are opposed rolls. Skilled characters succeed far more often than non-skilled characters.

I have vague recollections that WOTC had announced a Nentir Vale book and a "new" PHB that had errata-ed versions of the 4 core classes and the Warlord. Does anyone remember that? Were there other indicators as to where WOTC wanted 4e to go before deciding D&D needed a new edition?

I agree with the original post in general. I think proficiency should trump ability mod pretty much all the time. I've been working on a game based on 5e that uses a 2d6 mechanic with adjusted DCs. The proficiency system stays at +2 to +6, but the ability mods max out at +3. I also allow skills...

Yikes. That's hideous. Makes 2e look more complex than 1e.

Hm. Pretty bog standard stuff. Not very evocative.

Cubicle 7 has the license and will be revising and reprinting the W&G core book.

Is the description of Saltmarsh taken from the 3.5 DMG II?

Hi everyone! I would be deeply honored if you would consider supporting my Kickstarter campaign for my OSR 'zine called "Black Dragon." It's a throwback to the early 1980s 'zines you would see at RPG conventions. This issue contains a tavern generation system, an article about dwarven magic, a...

Black Dragon, an RPG inspired by 2nd edition AD&D, is coming to Kickstarter later this month! Black Dragon is part of Kickstarter’s ‘Zine Quest initiative during the month of February. This idea, spearheaded by Burning Wheel’s Luke Crane, is designed to create a return to the...

I'm probably not being fair. My only 2d20 experience is Conan, for which I have a marked dislike. It is far too involved for something that should play fast and loose (IMHO). So that system has be really soured on 2d20. Perhaps John Carter will change my mind.

I really hope this turns out to be a successful line. That said, the 2d20 rule system would probably preclude me from playing it. Please don't shoehorn Dune into an existing system; rules should be crafted for the setting, a la The One Ring.

I'm moving closer to launching my new Kickstarter campaign, a monster & region guide called "Gazetteer of the Grotesque." It's for OSR and 5e games. Here are some pics of card & map proofs. Each monster has two cards; stats on one side of each card and a picture of the creature and location of...
