So does the Black Rose setting have firearms? Or is it spells and crossbows? And always give me more Dragonbane!

In the local meta I was in back in the day, (Oklahoma college town, 1990s) the switch from melodrama vampire to fanged superhero came with the Sabbat book and the ability to use Paths instead of Humanity. As a side note, the LARP rules exploded for us and there were several events run by local...

I say that is highly likely as I hardly hear of anything coming out of Edge and it seems their production times are slower that the usual slow production times of a ttrpg.

I think Asmodee pulled all the rpgs from its subsidiaries and gave them to Edge, in part that art from French artists can be subsidized but now Edge has so many games under its own umbrella and not the staff to produce them all.

The Quickstart has now had two different adventures as they keep switching it out every year. The current Quickstart has the Sinking Tower, which is better but has a tournament vibe to it - even to the point of having a score sheet. According to the popular DB fan discord, Troll's Spire...

I hear you but then decades later I saw this and was sold on its Swedish cousin, Dragonbane.

Depends on how many spells per school. It looks promising as the Demonology school seems to have 17 spells,

Backing the KS gets you the Beta PDFs early, like in a few months later.

Nah. Then we need a Dex caster so Somatic components really count. :ROFLMAO:

I'd disagree and have used it often thanks to this setting. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/368745/esper-genesis-core-bundle-bundle

Called it. :ROFLMAO: As for verisimilitude-breaking, this is why the GM never says the last minute monster he came up with was a bear + special ability. As a player for Champions, and GM for Savage Worlds and Cypher, I haven't been too attached to new powers = must equal new mechanics for a...

If you ever wonder why a game needs so many additional rules and get the fun sucked out of it, the answer is "Tournaments," all the way down. Being a big fan of 1970s/1980s fantastical fiction, I've been exposed to so much genre mashing that psionics seems sci-fi leaning but not exclusive from...

Nah. Dark Gamma World Sun!

At this time, I'm thinking psionics will be more to flesh out the Kalshtar for this year and I have a "wait and see" attitude for Dark Sun next year. This has been a crux in game design for ages. How many different game mechanics do you need to create to provide a different feel? Of course the...

Indeed. I had one GM who said if he accepted Warforged in his game, he would have to accept all of the rest of Eberron's bits into his homemade world and he had no space for airships and lighting trains. I didn't fathom his logic but figured it was a very convoluted way to say "no."

Later this year will be the first time a GM will allow me to play a Warforged in 5e, mostly because he's been exposed to the species from outside Eberron. Even after 3e provided alternative options for warforged in Forgotten Realms, it was a hard sell. I discovered many GMs have a defined...

My answer was always, “re- skin the Sorcerer.”

Using current spells and referring to psionics as magic has two benefits for WotC. There are hundreds of spell effects already written, which essentially means many psi powers would just basically be re-skinned spells rewritten to have a psionic flavor. This saves them time and effort. And by...

As I couldn't get my players onboard for Forbidden campaign so I used Dragonbane to run a mash up campaign using the Raven Valley map and some of the adventures along with the Misty Vale campaign - twice! Both of the groups only used a quarter or a third of the Raven Valley map for their full...
