I choose to read good news as good news. Why borrow trouble? /M

Not surprised that Paizo has been weathering the release of D&D5 well. To me their greatest move was always that they managed to lay their hands on the Dragon and Dungeon subscriber lists and leverage that into a loyal, recurring revenue stream. It seems as if they manage to keep their...

I think this is a great move by GenCon, and I support it. That is all from me. /Maggan

The dice mechanic was simplified and streamlined in SW, reducing the bucket o' dice syndrome from WFRP. So we are playing WFRPv3 with the SW mechanic. Instead of adding dice, dice are upgraded which works well for us. /M

I have now counted the details of some D&D settings. In order of most details: Forgotten Realms has 351 632 details. Greyhawk has 289 774 details. Ravenloft has 245 113 details. Eberron has 121 782 details. Planescape has 99 999 details (I double checked that). So unless anyone else want to do...

I'm excited that there will be more pieces added to the jigsaw that is the history of the roleplaying game genre. It's easy to forget to take notes while we're in the middle of it, so this is a cool thing. /Maggan

I for one, welcome our new overlord. He'll be fine. Or he won't. Time will tell, but I don't see anything in his background to makes me think he'll do badly. So bring on the communications! /M

Paizo buys D&D. I don't believe it, so it must be true! /M

If the problem can be corrected by removing the copyrighted material, there should be no problem for the app creator to rerelease the app soon enough. If it's not using any IP from WotC, then there's nothing they could do about it. So we'll see how much utility was from using the copyrighted...

I am a serial fan material producer, for a variety of games such as Cyberpunk, Call of Cthulhu and even Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Everything I do is done with my understanding that I am using other companies IP, and that they can choose to shut me down whenever they feel like it. And yet, I...

3 out of 5 rating for Kingmaker Adventure Path The premise of Kingmaker is powerful, but it falls short on overall plot and consistency. Several key elements that players will want to explore are left undeveloped, and several other plot points that never will come into play are overdeveloped...

4 out of 5 rating for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd Edition Core Set A bold attempt to recast the WFRP experience as a storytelling focused game. The trappings of cards and special dice makes the game difficult to approach for a player entrenched in conventional rpgs (sheet and standard dice)...

Thanks for the reply! I have four PC:s. They won't split up. Their favourite strategy is charging with the paladin and wreaking havoc with lunge attacks and cleave and finishing cleave. The cleric provides backup with healing and summonings, while the rogue fires arrows looking for sneak...

Hello! I'm gearing up for an encounter with the bad guy from Kingmaker 5: War of the River Kings. Problem for me is I have little experience running multiple high level magic heavy encounters, and this one would involve Irovetti, Avinash Jurg, Villamor Koth and several Pitax Wardens and troll...

I love Forgotten Realms as a world for the CRPGs. I am down on it as a world for tabletop D&D with my friends. Too detailed and no hook for me. So I love it and really don't care for it at the same time. /M

I've started thinking that they might place the Basic Game under OGL, and leave it at that. They already distribute it for free in digital form, so maybe limiting a license to cover the basic game is an idea for WotC. /Magnus

Just watched it on iPlayer. Loved it. High paced, funny and silly. There are brilliant scenes, as was the case of the two other episodes. Even though we could have substituted Matt Smith for Capaldi straight off, I liked the portrayal of the Doctor. /M

Well, they do have data from their current and prior PDF sales to base their assumptions on, which is more than what we have. Vocal demand can be quite different from actual paying customer demand, os it's difficult to know if the demand is really there. The numbers I have heard for how much...

Cool! Here's a PDF you can give to your players: http://www.warpstone.org/pdfs/articles/WFRP%20Information%20Booklet.pdf It's written by a Sam Stockdale, don't know when, but it's great as an introduction. Of course it's a great introduction for a GM as well. Don't hesitate to ask questions...

Hi! I would say that you should buy the second edition (the third was just cancelled and did the system differently than "classic" wfrp. First edition is difficult to get hold of) Go here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse.php?filters=0_0_44232_0_0 The core rules are available as Print On...
