Why, what's wrong with it?

Chapter 3: Factions of the Apocalypse Image from Oathmark: Battles of the Lost Age Armies of Reorx: Although they acknowledge and respect the other gods, Reorx had a special place among the dwarven peoples of Ansalon. Even after the Cataclysm they remained devout by keeping their temples...

It has a lot of memorable people, places, and events which a fair amount of my gaming circle is familiar with, so we have common reference points. It's also easier to insert "classic fantasy" homebrew and setting-neutral adventures without much modification or feeling incongruent, unlike some...

Hourglass in the Sky: Apocalyptic Dark Fantasy Picture taken from the Legends of the Twins sourcebook. The River of Time is not a linear point running from a single beginning to end. It splits and forks, creating countless possible realities of unrealized futures. The Dragonlance Legends...

A bit of thread necromancy, but... Thank you for the clarification. Edited my OP to be more accurate in this regard. It's comments like these and beta-ray's that give me the motivation to continue these write-ups! Thank you both, I really appreciate them! :) Yeah, were it not for Eberron...

Is thread necromancy something a good-aligned monster would do? 🤔 But seriously, happy to see that this reinvigorated discussion!

So I bought two RPGs. One of them is Dragonbane Core Set, the other is Draw Steel Heroes. Yes I'm aware that DS isn't "old school," but I've had my eye on it for a while and figured that having an "old school" and "new school" fantasy RPG to peruse would make for a good balance. Sorry for those...

It's now out on the DM's Guild!

This is more an educated guess on my part, but I'm pretty sure that Jason Bulmahn and Paizo in general would be in favor of gatekeeping Neo-Nazis and their sympathizers. I'm all for gatekeeping when it's preventing people who can be disruptive at best, dangerous at worst, from ruining other...

Courtesy of IGN. It even references Armor Class and has a classic-looking TSR-style module cover to emulate that old-school feel!

I play online. A PDF is preferred due to the above. I can do either published adventures or writing my own, but for new systems I'd prefer a published adventure to see what's expected. I'd prefer having the rules all in one book, or if they're spread out that the multiple rulebooks be cheap.

Take all the time you need, I'm not going to be picking up anything until I get my paycheck.

Here's the URL. There's also new physical accessories such as custom dice, tokens, and other gaming aids. As a huge weeb, I'm happy to see that the line's still going strong. While I only read the corebook, the lack of monsters and enemies was a weak point for the system, so a proper Bestiary...

I appreciate the responses from everyone in this thread so far! At the moment I'm leaning towards checking out Warhammer Fantasy and Dragonbane, but haven't ruled out the other options. I'm just better off sampling things one book at a time than going all-in all at once.

When I say "old school," I'm mostly thinking of the 70s to 80s, but at its broadest I can extend this to pre-2000s games. While D&D is the top dog of fantasy ttrpgs, I've been more interested in checking out alternatives after getting more into Pathfinder. While there's quite a bit of newish...

@Morrus you might find this of interest! Also, its official teaser trailer is on YouTube. Has a bit of a light-hearted, silly feeling to it.

A YouTuber of decent following linked to and referenced this article as part of a video essay about Evil Genius Games. To anyone coming in here from that video: hi there, welcome to EN World! Enjoy your stay, be it for several minutes or several years!

Draw Steel is now for sale on the MCDM online shop. The PDFs, at least. The hardcovers are still preorders.

After 2 weeks, Part 6 is here. Highlights The bulk of the stream involved clearing out the goblin fort and visiting the party with the tieflings afterwards. 1. They knocked out Minthara due to advice from chat. 2. Still haven't found Karlach, both Ivan and Ed were quite eager to find here...

The final chapter of the book, the Bestiary gives us over 60 new monster/NPC entries and over 100 stat blocks. Although sorted alphabetically, there's no convenient listing by type and/or Challenge Rating. I won't be covering every creature for this post, instead going over in broad strokes...
