    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Space Navies, Part 1

    But didn't the books happen before the TV show? And the TV show is pretty true to the books from what I remember... So the setting didn't benefit from an actual physicist and engineer. It's a story that's not that far into the future (~2350) where humanity has colonized the solar system, but...

    Champions of Chaos, a New Warhammer: Age of Sigmar TTRPG, Announced

    Why just Slaanesh? Is it due to potential tentacle porn? What about Tzeench 'The changer of ways', that might also have so horrific consequences! Papa Nurgle isn't exactly family rated either... And the amount of blood and gore Khorne can produce might make some people hurl if you get into the...

    Cubicle 7 Announces New Horus Heresy RPG for Warhammer

    It seems like you're more talking about splitting the player base then splitting the attention of the publishing company? WFB => WFRP4e has a LONG standing fanbase that would have zero interest in an AoS RPG and vice versa. BUT there a ton of new AoS fans since the 2015 release because they...

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Space Navies, Part 1

    Sure, how we think about that now. But just how realistic is the psychic goo and the giant space portal? Or how realistic is the actual space ship when you start thinking about things like reaction mass quantities (fuel)? Certain aspects make appeals to your feelings or 'realism' while ignoring...

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Space Navies, Part 1

    Depends, what kind of story is being told, what kind of atmosphere is being set, and what kind of technical designs are being implemented. What would Star Wars be without the X-wing and Tie fighters? As for nuke it from orbit, why don't we do that now? We have the capability, we threaten with...

    Cubicle 7 Announces New Horus Heresy RPG for Warhammer

    Yes both split their product lines. FFG only on the 40k side and not on the WFRP side, which at the time made a LOT of sense. C7 is imho only 'splintering' 40k with W&G and IM, as HH might be the same setting, but GW also made that a distinct game from 40k (one might even argue multiple...

    Cubicle 7 Announces New Horus Heresy RPG for Warhammer

    WFRP4e (2018): 31 distinct physical products/books (not counting special editions, etc.) (WFRP2e had 29 physical products) Soulbound (2020): 15 distinct physical products/books (not counting special editions, etc.) With the big difference being that WFRP had 3 editions and 32 years of content...

    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Shees, can't we have any fun before someone rains on our parade... The art in the twitter post is obviously inspired by a parade, Mardi Grass or the Rio carnival. Those are all inspired by far older European events/parades that were eventually exported with the colonization of the 'new world'...

    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Quite a few actors get a flat fee, regardless of how well the movie/tv series does. Singers are a special case due to how music is distributed these days. But back in the day of records, tapes, and CDs, many music makers only got paid a flat fee. And even if they got a royalty, record companies...

    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Does the lineworker that made assembled your phone get paid every time you make a call? For a corporation like Hasbro it's way saver and cheaper to just pay the artist for their work without royalties. Cheaper because if they have to pay royalties they need to keep a whole administration to keep...

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Drakonym, Heart: The City Beneath, Vaults of Vaarn, and more

    It's on my wishlist to GM, but after Spire and a couple of other niche RPGs. They've raised £150k+ already with almost 2k backers, so they are doing well!

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    I really like the design and illustration. That said, I do NOT like it as a Topaz dragon in D&D: #1 The floating spine crystals, while cool make the dragon look too fantastical for it's 'family'. And I say this fully realizing that the Topaz dragon concept is already pretty fantastical... #2...

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    BG4: Who would make it? Give it to a new unproven studio like Giant Skull and the audience will have zero confidence in it. But which of the established game studios would want to make it without being 'booed' out of the room by fans? But blind fans will probably preorder it anyway, so it's up...

    Looking for a Cyberpunk Genre Game

    A couple of caveats: The English version of Shadowrun Anarchy is less 'good' then the French version (or so I'm told), and there's an Anarchy 2.0 being worked on. Personally I found Anarchy the other extreme, where SR 1-6 are incredibly crunchy, Anarchy is so rules light you might have to use a...

    Looking for a Cyberpunk Genre Game

    We're all our own problem! ;) I'm from the Shadowrun side of things and have similar issues as you have with Cyberpunk. I do not like the new Shadowrun 'world', I would prefer to keep it 2050-2060. There were issues with the old rules, and issues with the new rules. So IF I ever run SR again...

    Worlds of Design: Only Human

    That's because you don't take into account how long a generation is. In PHB 3.0 the 'adult' age of a human is 15, 40 for a dwarf and 110 years for an elf, you can directly translate those ages as generations. So for every 120 years, that's one elf generation, 3 dwarf generations, and 8 human...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    Netflix Apple TV+ (part of family subscription including music, and storage) Prime TV (probably killing that later this month due to a massive price increase) Disney+ (already killed that almost two years ago due to a massive price increase or ads) Crunchyroll Viki Rakuten Someone else at home...
