Yeah, if there's going to be prejudice, it's going to be of the 'you're not as magic as ME' kind. Big ol' mystic meritocracy. Also, this should be also completely cross-compatible with the other Bikes games, right? Just give my old Kid a magic score or whatever and, BING, ready to go?

I hope they use Storyteller, at least for cross-compatibility's sake. And I hope M5 is going to be a thing. Just imagine what the Virtual Adepts are doing in the 2020s? Imagine how malleable the Consensus is probably getting these days? Imagine a game that's both fun to read AND easy to play...

Sadly, I ain't played it wither, but I'd LOVE to. The mechanics look solid and the lore is fun and dark (occasionally TOO dark. Freaking Chechnya...). I want to give the Duskborn a spin, especially. Now, maybe they could also get W5 and M5 out as well? Mage 20th looks fun, but these mechanics...

The Question (Both Sage and Montoya), Squirrel Girl, Gwenpool, Jubilee, Zatanna, John Constantine, Casey 'Space Case' Brinke.

So, it's Eclipse Phase but the Earth didn't get Skynetted and resleeving is a proper luxury? Eh, could be alright.

While I'll always suggest Fate Accelerated as the best option for a 'D&D Junior"-type game: if your kid/sibling is into MLP (and you're not willing to homebrew a Fate setting), then it is NOT a bad choice, either. I STILL find it weird that they outsourced that one.

So, how does this game compare to Mothership?

Yeah, that one of the less mentioned pros of D&D Beyond: that can be updated with errata like they're patching a video game.

French Pulp Comics (plus a bit of Lupin-ish Manga) the RPG? Sign me up the Hades up!

I've seen it, and it looks pretty good, but it still feels weird that it got outsourced. Could have used it as 'D&D Junior' gateway setting for kids. Kind of like how Tails does it for the whole medium. Also, for anyone who doesn't know, Tails is by the same company as this Labyrinth game.

Those guys read 'disrupting the D&D schedule' as 'not doing Dark Sun'. But, yeah, MLP should have been another 5e crossover book like MtG and the liveplay settings. Unless figuring out how to get around the setting subrace-locking magic to the unicorns and the usual 'races with flying speeds'...

It still surprises me that Hasbro didn't have Wizards do that one in-house. Why license that out when you have an RPG division?

Oh... What if they both use the same system...? Goblins vs Skeksis!

Honestly, all of this just shows that most folks prefer simple, straight-forward, equipment. Knives and swords, leather and bucklers, Bags and AC boosts/+1s of the previously mentioned. 'Boring, but practical' seems to be the name of the game. What DOES surprise me is that CLUBS aren't even on...

Plus Marmalade Game Studio just put out a new mobile edition of Monopoly. And if it's as good as their edition of Clue, it's probably doing well, sales-wise. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marmalade.monopoly&hl=en_US

But yeah, your standard D&D setting is basically the VERY early Rennasaince by way of Tolkein, Vance, Howard, Lovecraft, Eastwood, and Lee. With Eberron adding in Hammersmith and Haggard, Dark Sun grabbing some Burroughs, Spelljammer pulling from Roddenberry, and Planescape putting all of that...

Ooh, I've needed a better set of dice. The Starter Set only had 1d10 and 1d20 and the Stranger Things Set isn't feeling worth the price/bulk just for those extra dice (I want them all in the same finish). Plus a nice dice try and a map.

How did I miss those? Thanks!

We talking a proper floorplan of the Rail or an Amtrak-style map of the routes? 'Cause, I'm pretty sure it never got an official floorplan back in the day. At least one third-party did maps, though: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/251273/Lightning-Rail-Battlemap. Doesn't AI have an...

Also: they have a Twitch?
