If you gents ever need an IT Manager and want to help this English American reverse his Great-Grandfather's decision to immigrate to the USA let me know. :cool:

The first RPG we (my friend and I) ever played after D&D 3.0* was WFRPG 1st Edition, but we mainly did a few one shots of it as we were huge into Warhammer Fantasy Battles at the time. My real second RPG, where we actually played what would be considered a campaign, was Mongoose Traveller. It...

Banestorm is hands down my favorite GURPS setting. It pops into my head every couple of months and it is high time I gave it a shot. Daggerheart is one of my two systems of choice at the moment and it would be a great way to finally run Yrth.

I'd like to say I remember Pathfinder (and 3.5) well, but I think I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm more of a PF2 guy these days even though I'm actually only playing in a 5E game right now. I find the bigger problem is how I bring rules from older editions forward without realizing it. I...

Mali isn’t North African, but cool to see Sudan (even though many debate its classification as North African) and Egypt represented with some monsters. 🙂 Thanks for pointing me towards the Mediterranean book, I’ll have to check that out along with this book.

No North African monsters or contributors? Missed opportunity in my opinion.

Can you give some more detail on this?

I'm way late to this thread, but I've just never had any issues crop up with alignment. Sure, when I first started playing back at the very end of 2E (D&D Adventure Game boxed set) we would adhere pretty strictly to alignments, but as I grew up I realized people are more complex than that just...

Flattening an image, I can see that with just a normal program of some sort. I can't wrap my head around how a program would be able to do 2D to 3D without AI or a relatively healthy amount of definitions inputted by the user.

I forgot about this. When I look at it I still get a look on my face like I smelled something horrible. :ROFLMAO:

Agreed. It just hasn't been worth the trade off, though Dungeon Alchemist is really impressive. Another thing that 3D VTTs have to fight against is that not everyone has a computer that can even run them, even as just a player.

Certainly could have been part of the genesis for Sigil. I think a lot of people like the idea of a 3D VTT, but in practice I've found that they don't add much to the overall experience when taking into account all the background work you have to do for each session.

Thanks! I really appreciate the response, Retreater. I may end up picking it up anyway as, like Voadam, I think that fantasy Africa sounds more interesting to me then fantasy Asia.

Does that book have any areas inspired by North Africa? My wife is Moroccan and I've noticed a lot of fantasy books inspired by Africa really just mean "inspired by sub-Saharan Africa" and sees North Africa ignored or lumped in with fantasy western asia.

It's funny, I was just thinking the other day how a game like a Neverwinter Nights 3 would be great for the brand, especially if they continued to put out content (even monetized) that allowed players to get that toolbox feeling again. I honestly thought Sword Coast Legends was going to be an...

This all makes sense to me. I would love to see a broader level of synergy across the brand, but not at the expense of any one part of it and definitely not at the expense of the tabletop game itself. Pokemon is a good example of a franchise that often self-sabotages it's video game...

I would have totally watched a Daggerheart campaign 4, but I'm totally fine with them using D&D and a West Marches campaign sounds awesome! All that being said, I think it will be perceived as a lack of confidence in Daggerheart by the DH fans, and I think it will hurt the game in the long run.

+1 for Ghostwalk. I still think about that book all these years later. Just a fun book all around!

Oh, for sure, it's definitely a good price if we are comparing it to board games.

Fair enough. I just don't think $50 is quite in the impulse buy category, especially as peoples' purchasing power has been eroding. The set itself looks awesome, I'm not disputing that, the content looks exactly as you say. I'm just unsure as to whether the price point will turn people away...
