I had it - it’s currently with another of my group who likes Gumshoe, and we’ll see how the game goes when he runs it. Exceptional production standards, with properly bound books, good quality paper and a wrap-around case, that is all quite sturdy. It’s built to last. For me personally, I was...

Not your Granddad’s Warhammer, and to be honest I haven’t a clue about the setting, but a nice layout yet again from Cubicle 7.

Why wouldn’t he? I mean they may even remember to pay him next time.

Why can’t they just bring back Stormbringer.....?

Why do they need to capitalize You and Use?

Darker Hue is Chris Spivey, isn’t it? Anyway, my understanding according to the announcement, that he is wrapped up as part of the team writing Modiphius’ Dune for the time being.

Well, no. What it is, that I mentioned before, is identifying the undercurrent of misguided hatred towards Mongoose Publishing that exists. When people feel the need to refer to them as ’nu-mong’ it is both sad and childish, and shrill too, if you prefer. I don’t think you know that game very...

All that tells me that you have an axe to grind....:) Cepheus Engine is based on the Mongoose Traveller 1e document as a point of fact. That they have chosen to adjust the character generation, so that they have about 24 different careers rather than about 36 or so sub careers, is fine. To me...

Basically another good post, although Cepheus doesn’t seem to be any closer to Classic Traveller than Mongoose’s Traveller System Reference Document was. It’s a clone of the Mongoose Traveller 1e rules, which were, in turn based on the Classic Traveller rules (but still distinct). Mongoose...

Pretty good summation, although Modiphius’ Star Trek isn’t Top 5. In recent times, Shadowrun, Alien, Vampire: The Masquerade and Legends of the 5 Rings have been making out the top 5 retail games. I think it mainly has to do with distribution channels. My understanding is that Call of Cthulhu is...

And maybe you need to read my post again. You could start by getting my username right! :D I actually stated in my post that "Classic Traveller remains available through various means” and indeed I own Classic Traveller (in its entirety). However, it doesn’t maintain any retail presence ie it...

Based on what data? Firstly, there still are some third parties that actually use the TAS program. Whether its been business suicide for them I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem likely. It just seems that the TAS works for them, while Mongoose themselves don’t seem flustered either way. Matt...

Get back to me when anybody actually signs up to use this licence.

Not really, no. Cepheus has had some support certainly, but really the sales are essentially PDF driven and account for a fraction of the sales that Traveller makes overall. The 2nd edition of Mongoose Traveller seems to be more focussed on concentrating on its own core setting than the 1st...

I think this is true, but there was more to the BRP system than just being percentile. Opinions may differ, but I think the scope of RuneQuest’s design at the time elevated the game and, in it’s stripped down version was arguably the strongest of the ‘first wave’ of RPG systems to come through...

As I pointed out before, the D20 OGL really has very little in common with this BRP document. Different market, different time, different goals.

The only counter to this is that they may just update the PDF copy of the original book, if purchased through drivethrurpg, without any extra charge. If I was requesting a copy at my FLGS, I’d be insisting on it being printed in 2020.

Hold on, this is a bit confused/confusing. Warhammer 40,000 - Rogue Trader was the name of the original Games Workshop publication for the miniatures game. It was released in 1987 and was significant for becoming largely the game that elevated Games Workshop from being a retail and mail-order...

Wow! It has.....a layout. That is an improvement in itself.

Delta Green, Mythras, Renaissance, OpenQuest, Legend...to name a few. All have their own markets, and none require the BRP logo. Much of the Mythras line is adopted from products that were originally billed as ‘BRP’ games, but switched because the Mythras brand gives them more support. There is...
