This is a relief, right? I remember seeing a thread on here awhile back about how somebody talked to somebody from Rebellion at a different, earlier convention and they were very concerned from that interaction that the new T&T would be nothing like the old game. Sort of like how that new...

I think the bar for the vast majority of RPG publishers are quite low when it comes to measuring success. Like, you could be a dude with some free desktop publishing software putting out print zines you get printed at an Office Max and pull a regular, albeit modest profit. If I had to pick one...

Yeah, they are trying to keep the numbers for this around what they need to pay themselves and refund the backers of the 2014 Kickstarter. If they end up with a bunch of extra money I think they have to pay the JG or something like that. That was my interpretation of the scatterbrained GG...

The real reasons C&C's rules are the way they are is because they predate OSRIC. Essentially, they didn't think they could clone AD&D legally. All that said, I do like C&C. One of the things I dislike about 5E is the party of all furry Sonic OCs that every party is now (doubly so now with the...

We are just a few minutes into the campaign and people are starting to pile into the comments section on Backerkit complaining about the lack of included PDFs.

Whoops, you're right, I can't type.

If I'm reading this right, there isn't even a bundle for print and PDF in combination. So if you wanted one box set (DCC or 5E) and a PDF it would be $330. Is this a reprint of Invisible Sun or something? EDIT: I don't math/type good. I am smart and cool.

It looks like it just launched. If you were inclined to back it, just be aware that the $200 box set does NOT include the PDF. With value like that they might need that extra shot of FOMO they ended up having here, good lord.

It works out for GG, in the end I think. Most gamers who would back this probably aren't even aware of all this anyway, and a fair amount who are aware may still back it anyway now that this one crowdfunded print run will be the only way to get it. I know I would want a premium DCC conversion...

I decided to check in on this thread since it was on page 693 and I was like "Let's see where this is at" and I see we are arguing about Burning Wheel rules.

That's fair. Hommlet is far from the worst offender, you're definitely right there. It's just a preference thing. I'll take a 10 room dungeon where each room is wholly noteworthy, unique and memorable over something like the Moathouse as a general matter.

As somebody who has played and enjoyed OD&D and older editions of WFRP, I don't mind less weapon variance but I do understand the criticism. For example, in OD&D since every weapon does D6 damage generally speaking, the only weapons you will see wielded are daggers because you can attack twice...

I really dig old school play in certain aspects but dungeon design is not one of the things that ever clicked for me. Hommlet is a great example, assuming the PCs don't miss going to the Moathouse entirely they will immediately encounter a bunch of rooms with nothing noteworthy in them, for...

No game can ever truly die given that words on a page (especially ones that have been digitized) can never truly die. Hell, at a local convention the single most popular living campaign is for DragonQuest and that game is so abandoned the WotC abandoned the trademark.

Warms my heart. I needed this today. Sometimes it's nice to know, that in today's world people can still get together on things, you know?

In the pre-4e days Daniel Fox (of Zweihander and general internet annoyance fame) was talking about being in talks with GW about acquiring the WFRP license and a condition of that deal was that they also produce an Age of Sigmar game. So I imagine a fair amount of that output (especially the...

Putting aside the fact that I think the Horus Heresy peaked as a two page write-up in the original Rogue Trader, this is now a cow that requires constant milking. Anyway, any word on what rule system this uses? More Imperium Maledictum or more Wrath & Glory?

My understanding is that that it's not just Arkham (which just released and looks great) but all of those older Lovecraft Country books are going to get updated at some point by Chaosium. But yeah, the mechanics are probably the least important part of the books and the conversion is very...

On the upside, we'll probably get a new movie before 2029 now. Some of these gaps are quite large.
