I think that might not look out of place in my '25 living room, for some odd reason I really, really like that alternate cover...

Someone did (partly) and they did pretty well it seems. But I also suspect that it's because it's a crossover. They're selling to both D&D fans and MtG fans. Such a sourcebook would work very well as a pretty lore book for someone who has no intention of ever playing in a MtG setting/D&D...

I think your definition of a 'Grognard' is way too positive! ;) But I'll translate it to "Why old people still matter (to WotC)."... Two things: #1 We 'make' the next generation of D&D players, sometimes literally. ;) #2 We tend to have more money, the question is IF we want to spend it on D&D...

Not long enough by far!

It's a $70 hardback book and a $20 pdf. It's 240 pages. I got the original (pdf) in a Humble Bundle (via the Paizo site) and got a Remastered updated pdf. So as long as you bought it via the Paizo site you get an updated PDF. If you're playing it via FVTT, you get the update in the rules...

First give me a very big compensation package... Others have mentioned Battletech, Shadowrun, or 40k. I would personally have a long list of other properties, but the problem with that is that it's either too similar to other successful franchises (Heavy Gear => Armored Trooper VOTOMS) or it's...

D&D5e shouldn't make wealth more worthwhile. The conscious design decision was made to limit characters to 3 attuned magic items, that only leaves a few non-attuned items as useful for characters. So beyond that and bags of holding with a few hundred potions in them, money on personal power...

Have you looked at "Simple World Building" or "Custom System Builder" with something like "Freeform Sheets"? Combine that with "Dice So Nice" and "Dice Tray" and you should be able to run just about any pnp RPG. People get overwhelmed by the 3000+ modules of FVTT and when there's no ready made...

Picked up the Foundry VTT versions of Call of Cthulhu 7e Starter set and the basic SWADE book. The first has a solo adventure in it, want to use it to get familiar with CoC7, there are also a couple of 2 people + GM adventures in there that could be useful when someone suddenly can't make our...

Has anyone made a comparison of the changes in MM 2014 and MM 2025? If so, is there a common tread in there that we could apply to monsters from other (2014) sources to make them more in line with the 2024 rules set?

You mean SAGA? I have the Dragonlance SAGA stuff, but I didn't get the impression it did well, especially when it completely disappeared. Don't know about 'good', but maybe it's like D&D 4e, mechanically very strong, but just not what most D&D customers were looking for. Just like when after...

looks at his Shadowrun collection I absolutely love my 1e/2e/3e SR FASA physical book collection, the Fanpro ones a little less so, and I own most of the 4e/5e/6e in pdf (via Bundles). The issue with SR is all the different systems that are stuck together, yes it's crunchy, that's not the...

All I wanted for Shadowrun was a coherent rules set. But it's too much to ask that from FASA. All I wanted for Shadowrun was a coherent rules set. But it's too much to ask that from FanPro. ;)

That is an issue, it's an issue with any program with many features and options. But what people tend to forget is that not every DM is a techwizard, but it's perfectly possible for someone else in your group to manage it and for you to just run it. But manage expectations, if you want a lot out...

To be honest, there isn't really a VTT I dislike as a whole, there can be parts of it I dislike and things that don't fit with me, but disliking a whole solution? Not really. But that's not how I choose a tool, I choose a tool, like a VTT on what I find most important and what fits within that...

I just see chickens... ;)

I know reading can be hard... But oh well... I think the rules are 'interesting', but I don't see me playing it or my group wanting to play it. What people do with Barbies and shoes, before ending up in the ER is 'interesting', but also not for me... ;) I want to compare it to D&D 4e, it was...

That is the problem with the hype, we don't know the quality of DH (besides the beta), as it's not out yet. As I said, the quality of 'B', the board games from DP, is rated mediocre to average at best. But people are acting like DH is the best thing since sliced bread. I don't like CR, I don't...

Review numbers give some indication, looking at Amazon and DTRPG are probably two of the biggest indicators. No hostility. No, just sharing that alarms are going off. When famous people known for A, sell B which is received as mediocre at best, and now try to sell you C. And people are hyping...

When I look at Darrington Press, I see average to 'Meh!' board games from them on BGG. When I look at their 5e product "Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn", with 4 reviews on DTRPG and 80 globally with Amazon, sure they score high, but not a large enough pool of reviews to get anything resembling...
