Bugbears and Borderlands is my current favorite 5e-lite. I have been looking for a 5e-lite ruleset for years, I have found systems that I loved (Machiato Monsters, Index Card RPG...) but none was exactly the shade of 5e-lite that I was looking for, and I was too busy (lazy?) to write mine. And...

Ok, just read the post, and I like it a lot! First, the global target: compatible but streamlined: And lots of monsters, yeah! Some details on February's playtest package! For the moment, I remain very optimistic 😊

Oh, not really adding anything besides some useless expression of happiness: just received my Black Flag t-shirt, and I feel really pumped up about the upcoming beta! I really love KP adventures, and I think the upcoming game can be the right shade of 5e for me.... Edit: by the way, KP posted...

That's better than my two original ideas: Beasts & Battlefields and Basilisks & Battlements... 😁

I was also looking for something similar, and last week I found Bugbears & Borderlands, by @Sacrosanct, and it's exactly that, a new, modern, 5e based Basic/Expert. I have read it cover to cover twice, and I think I have found my new favorite ruleset 👍

/me eats crows I didn't believe they would do the right thing, I think I have become too cynical 😣

I can't believe it but it's true ... Incredible enough... 5.1 SRD in Creative Commons... 😳😳😳

I rather agree with most of the article, specially that all the missteps, half truths and strong-arm tactics from WotC had eroded the trust and the goodwill...

That was what I was thinking, a big and irrational pressure from Hasbro, that needs WotC generate ever more cash as they lose it on almost all other activities.

Just seen it at CNBC. It can explain why some bad decisions are taken: fear, pressure... https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/26/hasbro-stock-tanks-as-company-cuts-jobs-warns-of-weak-fourth-quarter.html

Indeed! A gang, a band, a closed knitted group of geeks hyped by the new D&D 3.0, the whole d20 explosion with all the new 3pp and the infinite possibilities open to us...

Out of stock or really expensive in France, either in Amazon Fr or in most FLGS. Both English and French versions...

Hi Will! Really longtime, my friend... 🥹 I was surprised reading this thread and seeing that a bunch of us, old timers from Eric's board, are still here. It says something about a community when it keeps members for more than 20 years! Oh, and Planescape forever, of course! In a way this...

I agree it shouldn't be too difficult, but it's the first clue of what kind of product the Black Flag Project is going to be. For all we knew, it could be a new, custom made system, or an OSR-like or whatever.

I began to read Eric Noah's 3rd Edition News in 1999, and I quickly joined the forum, so yeah, I have been here for 23 years... I feel so old now...

Oooh, very interesting, in the Kickstarter FAQ they say: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deepmagic/deep-magic-2-spellcasters-emporium-for-5th-edition-games/faqs Does it mean that Project Black Flag is mostly 5e compatible?

Well, I found their initial issues very "in theme" for a game based on a computer game, everybody knows that the first release is often too bugged and it's better to wait for the first patch 😁

I already pay 20$ month for a premium Roll20 account. I am the GM, I pay the premium subscription, my players have the free one. The big difference is that I pay it to get some premium features, not to be able to use any content I want in my game! I pay it because I want to support them, and...
