I like the "Drain system" of Shadowrun. Resist the drain of the spell else suffer either Physical or Stun damage. This means no "extra" attribute to track, and your "health" becomes your spell/mana points.

Dwarves? They could have invented some sort of *hand waving* pulley system back in the long forgotten Golden Age.

Color me interested for the new one for TOR. I was a little disappointed with the current one being more a Starter Set for a roleplaying game called "The Hobbit" and not one based on "The Lord of the Rings".

Some people think conflict of any sort should have similarly detailed rules as those provided for hitting people in the face with a chair. People might be uncomfortable with acting out a scene or are just bad at it and shouldn't be penalised with poor outcomes by the GM because the GM judges...

Fantasy such as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, The One Ring, Shadow of the Weird Wizard. Urban Fantasy/Secret History such as World of Darkness, Liminal, Urban Shadows. Asian media/literature-inspired games such as Feng Shui, Exalted, Weapons of the Gods, Fabula Ultima.

Yes. Got it a few weeks ago. Haven't had much time to do anything other than horse around with the coconuts.

I suspect the reasons for this are more due to trying to handle the antagonistic nature of chaos to the other factions.

A new edition would do that too. As for TOW - I hope they include careers. Every WH game other than WFRP appears to avoid what I consider one of the best parts of WFRP. So very sad!

A colon. The kickstarter produced two books, the core rules Metro:Otherscape and a setting book Tokyo:Otherscape. The game and/or system itself, I guess, is called :Otherscape. Maybe its a riff on games called Game: The Subtitling?

Perhaps you have confused Imperium Maledictum with Wrath and Glory? Both games are referred to as "Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay". IM uses a d100 system very similar to WFRP4E, whereas W&G uses a d6 dice pool. Some of the simplicity IM brings to the table is changes to Advantage, smaller set of...

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st Edition. None of the following editions' core rulebooks feels as complete as the 1st edition core rulebook. Other games I feel that you could get away with just the core rulebooks are: Metro: Otherscape (Tokyo: Otherscape being a setting expansion of the core...

My 3 are. Ars Magica Definitive Edition Legend in the Mist Terry Pratchett's Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork

I’ve pre-ordered the core set. The cover is not something I’d be ashamed of being caught reading. :)

Huh. I live in the arse-end of the world which some call Australia. Usually it takes a lot longer for games to get here.

Got mine yesterday. Look great. Very heavy carrying them home from the post office. Do not recommend.

Interesting. Am I mistaken in thinking the GM is the only one who rolls a d8? In a game where the number 8 is a special number.

People executing others without the Mayor's permission (or deputisation) would weaken the Mayor's authority, no matter the status of the prisoner, and by exiling the problem the Mayor enforces their authority and sends a signal to others that killing prisoners without the Mayor's permission will...

To be honest I think this price might become the new norm for roleplaying games. Many kickstarters are now getting to this for the physical product level. For me it's $110 AUD but I can get free shipping for over AUD$110 so throw in some dice I guess?

Then I am mistaken in thinking that each setting (Stormlight, Mistborn) has 3 books being funded by this kickstarter: a core book (handbook), a world guide, and a book of adventures, and someone could choose to order the corebook, world guide and book of adventures for Mistborn and still be able...

Yes. I agree. People should be arrested over this. I’m calling the Committee right now.
