I'm sure he took the appropriate feat.

The idea that a LOTR RPG from TSR wouldn't have sold well in the 90's because MERP didn't sell as many copies as D&D is ridiculous. Nothing ever has until the misstep with 4E and the ascension of Pathfinder. There have always been other fantasy RPG's that sold well alongside D&D. Making it...

That pitch for Tenbria reads a lot like the one for Twilight 2000 - nice concept!

That's how some people run entire campaigns of many RPG's, not just Shadowrun. Not every campaign has to have an overarching plot. Sometimes it's just about living/surviving in a fantasy world whether that's Greyhawk, the Realms, the Third Imperium, the Old Republic, or 2050+ Fantasy Cyberpunk...

That WOTC issue is interesting. Plagiarism has shown up a few times over the years in RPG products but it's been awhile since it's come up as far as I remember. Hopefully Ms. Jaquays can resolve it to her satisfaction.

Maybe a breakdown of at least some of the rules? Maybe some pictures of the components with captions explaining what part they play in the game? Maybe some comparisons to how a Pathfinder RPG session plays ... perhaps even a session of this same adventure? Maybe some anecdotes about what...

You can buy 3-panel screens with pockets built in if you don't want to rig one up with sheet protectors - one example here: https://www.peginc.com/store/savage-worlds-customizable-gm-screen/

Yes Morrus I'm aware we can all read it online or in the back of thousands of products many of us own. If it's applicable though, why has no one done it in the last almost-20 years do you think? We've been through multiple versions of the game and multiple D&D and D&D type videogames, but no one...

Well it should be interesting as I am fairly sure the OGL does not apply to video games. WOTC/Hasbro licenses those out separately and specifically so while I get the appeal in trying to tie it in to 5E I think it's some fairly shaky ground.

Mechanics issues aside, I'm a little surprised we're seeing a new company publish a tabletop RPG based on a license that's been dormant for 10 years. I haven't seen a big outcry for it online and it's not like there was a long string of successful predecessors that had established it as a...

Well, you're about 40 years too late so ... good luck with that. "Broad strokes" and all seems to work in comics and movies and that's right about the level where RPG's tie in. Hey they didn't have to come from a junk shop - you could get those at K-Mart, which is where I got mine well before...

Looking forward to more of this - Thanks Jim!

Well Against the Giants is in Tales from the Yawning Portal so either your wait is over or I wouldn't hold my breath, depending on how you want to roll with that:D I've run B2 myself, starting before the book was out and then working it in during the run. If you have the original adventures and...

Yes, RPG's get new editions - they've been getting new editions since the early 80's. If you were around for 2E this shouldn't surprise you but it almost sounds like you're angry about it. Pathfinder is getting it's first new edition in literally ten years. Champions went through 4 in its first...

Really looking forward to this one - loved this module and loved their big Into the Borderlands book.

I see someone is really going to try to force this square peg of cooperative tabletop gaming into the round hole of e-sports. Even my college/HS aged kids are wondering what the point of this is.

I used to feel the same way, especially back when Pathfinder 1st edition did the same thing. After that it's really not a surprise to see it for their second edition but this time you can buy special faux-leather cover editions as well as the normal version. There is a PDF available so there are...
