They’re strong and resilient?

My gut feeling is that it will differ from the UA, maybe not a lot. Not sure why. Could you be tempted to release any of the material you wrote for your Sins of the Scorpion Age for a Dark Sun setting?

Not a given I don’t think. We didn’t for Eberron, Greyhawk or Ravenloft (COS was already a long time out at that point and wasn’t linked to the wider setting) The Planescape book is exactly what I would hope for. A good mix of setting/bestiary, players options, and adventure. 1/3 1/3 1/3. A...

Really interesting thread. Just goes to show how much interest there would be if/when the setting is released. There are great conversions out there already @touc to name one. But I would love to see all the art, maps, and 3pp that comes with a big Wizards release. Not to mention the interest...

Ooh the Witcher bundle looks great. Been tempted by this for a long time, for the lore rather than the rules. For $15 and charity that’s a no brainer. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yes, i need to see those ivories dancing. Without it, doesn’t feel like an RPG

I admire the asceticism of a lot of the folks on here but honestly the bare minimum I expect is quite a lot, considering what is currently available out there. Maps that can be drawn on, pinged and highlighted with grids customisable and scale adjusted. I also expect to be able to alter the...

From a domain point of view as I recall it was almost identical.

The main problem with the domain system as I see it is complexity. Not running 3-4 PC kingdoms but effective deciding what the response would be from the dozens and dozens of NPC domains, guilds, temples, etc. that has always been the main issue for me. How to represent that! I have...

I agree. I always felt the whole holdings system was quite elegant. Abstract enough that it could fit lots of different cultures and societies. I particularly liked the way the domain books interpreted the holdings form abstract to the specific. So a Law 4 holding might represent a very...

I would be tempted to use Birthright as it is. It’s pretty system agnostic.

I agree. I think the only reason they are out is because they want Sorcerer Kings and Dragons to be unsurpassed. Apex predators. Without anyone to answer to. Not to mention that Sorcerer Kings are seen as gods by their followers. That wouldn’t make much sense of there were other gods in...

I think that people appreciate the simplicity and the fact that it is a very generic style that can be fitted anywhere. It harkens back to old school adventures. I agree with you, solid starting but hardly peak inventiveness. I’ve ran it and don’t see what all the fuss is about. Forge of Fury...

I would be fine with that. It doesn’t feel like a simpler version of 4e though. It uses a completely different mechanical approach to resolution, dice pool. Which I think is a shame. That said I convert from Pathfinder and D&D to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay so I’m sure TOW will not be a burden...

Judging by Gencon. The Old World and Horus Heresy will get the attention for the foreseeable future. With reduced support for Wrath and Glory, AOS and token support for IM and WFRP. Let’s be clear, Cubicle 7 has always been willing to share their pipeline in the past. The books that are in...

I’m talking about splitting attention and splitting the fan base. I agreed with AOS and Wrath and Glory. It made sense. Old and new. There was no reason the Old World couldn’t have been a setting update - as could Horus Heresy. Colour me cynical but I think they just sell more core and early...

That’s not a game I would want to play. I don’t want to be a spectator to someone else’s fun because I happen to have been picked first. Intentionally or randomly and I don’t want to be a DM that does that to players. Increasing damage like this as standard in a monster block is a very...

Well you are right one option is for abilities to stop progressing at high levels. Though it’s easy to balance a game if you don’t give players any abilities.

I think this is exactly my concern. You have the books and don’t play it. These aren’t vanity exercises. What happens to the 4e line when 50% switch to the new edition. There is only I do believe grimdark RPG is a niche whether fantasy or futuristic, and one which can only be made more niche...

I agree. Near the end of AOW I was using creatures with CR 23+ for routine encounters for my 17th/18th level party. My concern is that having a Paladin add +6 is to all saving throws is already going to dramatically reduce the damage output. But if you design creatures for that, the parties...
