Setting Creation/World Building is fun - I loved the charts in the back of the DMG 1e and in my Traveller sets, and as a youth with more time than sense spent many a dreamy hour imaging the world. But for play purposes, I focus on the here and now like someone said up thread - a town, some...

Unfortunately, I am reading out of the doorstopper "all the Earthsea, and Charles Vess too" 1000+ page tome. That said, Tehanu is not massive. And starts off strong.

Also notionally reading Tehanu, although I keep getting distracted by mysteries and Patricia McKillip... But if you are reading, I'll do a co-read alongside. It'll get me to finish before the book is due back at the library. And when you say "autumnal" do you mean related to the fall? Or as in...

Except this is ENWorld. I would expect to see an announcement of the announcement, and perhaps even an announcement of the announcement. Otherwise my faith in ENWorldia will be over

Elf--lectric boogaloo

This, exactly.

Gordon Gordon? Some people's parents, I tell you...

It's the thing I miss least about the east coast of North America

Exactly

I have to agree. I have Deepnight Revelation, and the entire time I was reading it (and I read it all!) I kept thinking - wow some bullet points, some bolding of the important information; as well as other more modern RPG adventure design principles would be nice. If I was to run it (I probably...

Poison Oak in your nethers... Just watch where you're "going"! (this is not from personal experience. No really...!)

Good episode @tabletopjess. Really interested in Pioneer - Traveller system seems like it would be a good fit. And I've got a mate who was in our MegaTraveller game who loved Dark Conspiracy. She's not so into ttRPGs anymore - maybe this'll be the work that brings her back! Does Enemy Within...

Nentir Vale again relegated to 13th place (or even further down...)

Sad it's digital only; glad it's being released.

I love this new approach to RPG mysteries. Neither Brindlewood Bay and Gumshoe worked for our group; this may be a better approach. Also, the Republic of Stars seems like a cool setting. Wish 40k would adopt it for one of their armies. The unremitting fascism and authoritarianism gets...

And procrastinatory

Eberron Gamma World sounds amazing.

Two books into Campion and I feel like it even leans towards slapstick. But both of the novels so far have had a big brawl towards the end, so I guess that's leaning more pulp.

Oh, thanks for the write-up of Oracle of War. Now even more interested... I wonder why WotC wouldn't just take that storyline that they already have, polish it up, and publish it.

Fighting with huge packs seems like it would be a pain. And if you've got anything you want in combat packed in your backpack, it'd be at least a full action, maybe 2 to get it out. Now is that fun? Maybe for some groups. I'm on the fence. Not for heroic exploration and encounters like D&D. But...
