https://steamforged.com/blogs/brands/sfg-acquires-iron-kingdoms Might even be one for a separate thread or news item, but PP has sold the entire Warmachine/Hordes/Warcaster block of IP lock stock and barrel to Steamforged games. I don’t know what that means for PP going forward - without the...

I've been playing in a IK group for a while now, currently just about to hit level 4. PCs are a Khadorian paladin of the Order of the Wall, an Iosian elf Cyrissist warcaster, a Khadorian mechanik, and a Cygnarian gun mage. Some impressions: - Gun mage is actually a VERY powerful low-level...

Yeah, it's pretty steep. It's $130 Australian (and that's without shipping etc), and that really stings. I'm not a PF player but was thinking about picking this up just for the setting material, but at that price point it's REAL hard to justify. Maybe one day if I'm feeling particularly...

I suspect he's ... not entirely wrong there. Mostly, but not entirely. It's worth remembering that Grand History of the Realms actually preceded the 4e core books by a short time, and this was where some of the more boneheaded changes to FR lore first got released to a largely-unimpressed...

Yeah, I also house-rule it so that inspiration points add 1d6 to a roll, and can be used after the player sees the result of the original roll. Which is a bit more impactful and gives players a bit more control of their destiny. Plus, I hand them out like candy, which means they get spent more...

I use inspiration points for rewards for that kind of thing when DMing. Although I’m running Dragonlance right now, so ‘do something dumb because you’re consumed with dumb melodramatic 80s romantic drama’ is more the genre thing there. But yeah, inspiration point for doing something that would...

Thanks for doing this, I've been looking for a product along these lines for a long time. And also thanks for not using Midjourney etc generated art, that's a dealbreaker for me.. It looks to me like all tiers are electronic-only, no hardcopy option.

I’m honestly not sure if you’re being facetious here! 😂 But Faerun is a such a big and diverse setting, that as a writer or game dev or DM, if you can’t do anything interesting with it, that’s on you rather than in the setting! Faerun’s problem is that WotC uses it as a default Genericland...

I’m sure they do. To what degree these ‘partners’ are credible and/or capable of taking in a project like this, is another question. Every fly-by-night studio in the world would be salivating at the opportunity to churn out some shovelware that piggybacks on Larian’s success and fanbase. WotC...

Another possibility is Creative Assembly. They have no rpg experience, but they’ve produced well-received games using licenced IP in both the strategy (Total War Warhammer) and stealth/action/fps (whatever Alien Isolation was) genres. But realistically, anyone starting development of a major...

I'm not a D&D Beyond guy myself, but three of the players in my Dragonlance campaign use it for building/tracking their PCs, and they're all annoyed enough about this that they're looking to move to another platform. Having to shell out $ for the entire SotDQ book on DDB just to access a single...

I did forget that one! Yes, you're right. I flicked through it in the shop, but it didn't vibe with me at the time and i never bought it. It was, I think, the last book that Arthaus did for RL (other than the never-officially-published Van Richten's Guide to the Mists), and by that time the...

Not to the best of my knowledge, and I own the great majority of it.

Related thread from a while back - D&D General - Reading Ravenloft the setting which you may find interesting or a useful supplement to this one (it was pre-VRGtR though) Going through the setting domain by domain, using the 3rd ed Arthaus Gazetteers as our guide (because as @Remathilis...

I can't speak for the tourney scene one way or another, but PP have had a load more problems than purely pandemic-related in recent years. First and foremost, of course, was GW undergoing a major management change and starting doing things like 'communicating with customers' and 'not making...

Settlers of Faerun, coming to a game store near you?

I'll give you a more conclusive answer once we've reached higher level! The big difference is that you find yourself playing Healing Word jack-in-the-box a bit less at 2nd/3rd level. You're a bit safer from getting knocked straight to 0hp by one good critical hit . The by-the-book game is...

I play in one game where it's max at first level, then roll afterwards with no do-overs. I play in one game where it's max for the first five levels, then roll afterwards with no do-overs. I run a game where it's max for first three levels, then roll afterwards, re-rolling on a one but second...

In my opinion it's a bit of a step backwards from previous products in terms of art quality, to be honest. I do love the lich(?) thingy on the throne though. But if the white-haired woman is meant to be Alustriel, they've missed her character completely. Alustriel is meant to be the calm...

I ran this a while ago as a test one-shot for a group I was assembling for a new campaign. Ended up with a tpk at the cave (well, technically one pc survived by fleeing ignominiously) after a player decided to try to solve the problem in one stroke by surprise attacking the antagonistic dire...
