I like it. Signs is something I started adding to my random encounter tables years ago, but the hard part is racking my brain trying to come up with lots of different signs for each monster. So more suggestions are always welcome. And boons are something I've thought of before, but never had the...

Well, Mutant Chronicles has several - though those might be translations from earlier editions, I'm not sure. John Carter has one. Other than that, yeah it's pretty thin. I'm guessing this is because a campaign is the hardest kind of material to write. Look at how WotC often put out bad ones...

So, in other words... re-writing the whole thing from the ground up? Because those railroad tracks are solid steel and don't bend easily. 😜

To the 90s? Sounds like you weren't actually around for Web 1.0... :sneaky:

The larger images are a bit much on my stationary computer's 32" screen, but I'd say they're an improvement on my laptop. So I guess they believe most people are on laptops nowadays?

Never played Alien specifically, but with the YZ system in general I've found it's disingenous to focus on the percentage of getting 1 success. Because most times you want more than 1. I find it's more helpful to look at the averages, and since 6 dice give an average of 1 success, that is the...

Yeah, I saw the other news post later. I still think the alternate is pretty good-looking, though. Might still prefer it to whatever the standard cover turns out to be.

Eh. The first three lines in that table have the exact same percentage listed. Which means the difference is in the decimals they're not showing. That's not more common in any significant way. What I find interesting is that in parties of 4 or more there is almost always a rogue (and in more...

Yeah, this is actually the first one where I'm gonna get the alternate cover.

What an eyesore.

A little odd that the cover has a picture from some kind of LARP, but there seems to be no coverage of such in the magazine...

I didn't mean that anybody was lying. I just thought you'd used the wrong pictures. But another poster has made a close analysis and says they're very slightly different from the originals, so I'll believe it. That just leaves me very, very disappointed. Dyson is a talented guy, I've paid for...

Huh. I mean, they even have the artifacts typical of scanning an old copy (some dirt, weak lines, and the like). But if you say so. That's really disappointing, I agree.

I think you've made a mistake or misunderstood something here. While the town map is new, the rest are not. They're just straight up scans out of a copy of U1.

Well, not verbatim at least. The version in the DMG II is set several years after the conclusion of the modules, and is stated to be much larger than it was "back in the day".

I'm not sure how I feel about this. If all they do is update the stats, I'll be very disappointed. I actually ran the U series recently, and found that while it had some fairly unique ideas for its time, it is now severely dated. SPOILERS for decades old scenarios ahead... U1 is OK, but a bit...

Well, if you listen to Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff, you know that Hellenistika is actually Ken's home game of 13th Age. I suppose the publishers feel that porting it to 5e gives them a bigger market. And they're not wrong. But I would personally have preferred to see Ken's original notes...

Oops, my bad. The principle stands, though. ;)

You haven't seen a lot of Pathfinder AP covers, I guess? The character in the foreground is never part of the scene in the background. That's just the style they've chosen. Usually the foregrounded character is the villain, and other stuff happening is supposed to represent some action scene...

Ya missed the most obvious reprint: the tactical map that is front and center in that picture is from Keep on the Shadowfell. I've reused that map for various ambushes many times... ;)
