I think you have to create the thread first, then add the poll. So there is a brief time when the thread exists but the poll does not.

I haven't done anything yet. Seems unfair to start something without the official dice. ;)

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Or perhaps its slightly handsomer twin brother Warhammer Age of Sigmar - Soulbound.

I think Dune being nominated for 2019, 2020 and 2021 (winning in 2020 and tying for first place 2021) means that it's the expected release date at the time of the nomination. For clarification does this include PDF-only releases? Or if the PDF is released first in one year, and the physical...

Urban Shadows 2E by Magpie Games. Kickstarter was expected to deliver December 2021 but its been delayed by Covid.

Just to note: that rpg.net link is 5 years old. I wouldn't hold my breath too. Plus the developer has gone through a personal tragedy since then. This also highlights a problem with using systems not under your control for games and supplements - Savage Words and Call of Cthulhu both have new...

MERP was a simpler version of Rolemaster. I've had similar happen to me with Rolemaster - spent an entire session creating characters, and next session everyone dies. This did not make me hate Rolemaster (nor MERP), just that these games should not be played as if the characters are high-level...

It sounds like the idea of a group pool of HP is trying to achieve something where the HP of more robust characters can be used defend the weaker character - narratively the knight throws themselves in front of the wizard to take a blow. Some versions of Modiphius' 2D20 system have a group...

I pre-ordered AC! 2D20. I really enjoy the setting and system as presented in this version. I went ahead to add the dice to my pre-order because having six-sided dice with the head of Cthulhu on them was something I had to have.

December 8 is the expected date of arrival for the ship at Southampton. Then all the work to unload the ship, get the hard copies to their UK destination to then pack them for shipping to backers. All the while Christmas is happening at the same time. I don't expect to see my order here in...

Your original premise was "a Party HP system where instead of tracking individual hp for characters instead hp moves up to the party level". But now to have two different party HP pools you have to determine how to split the party HP pool into two. So is the plan to just straight out halve the...

So now you are tracking individual hp for characters, just deciding what pool they contribute to.

Not sure how such a system will work when the party splits up. Does it mean the rogue dies when the barbarian two dungeons over gets punched in the head?

Alas, everything I desire I've already pre-ordered or kickstarter-ed. Hmmm. Thinking about it... perhaps the Sand and Dust sourcebook for Dune - Adventures in the Imperium.

I was going to jump in and echo "Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!" but then I realized the 5th part of the Enemy Within Campaign that has just been released in electronic form has, on its cover, a flying ship (a dwarven dirigible to be exact) which breaks rule number 4 - "Un-exotic: no flying...

Obviously a single goblin should not be attacking a swordsman, master or not (unless cornered and have no choice). They should be running away and finding other goblins to join together and return to attack in numbers. Even 2E mentions that they have a "penchant for running when battles turn...

I think its ok to do it. The important thing is to treat the subject with respect and not degenerate into caricature and stereotyping. Some games have even had experts go over the writing to ensure this was done.

4 goblins versus 1 master swordsman does not necessarily mean the goblins are going to die... quickly. Outnumbering (page 161 and 162, 4E) gives a bonus of +40 to hit (when 3 to 1) to those goblins and an outnumbered opponent loses 1 Advantage at the end of each round they're outnumbered. That...

I think its to simulate the idea that someone who is winning each Combat Test has an advantage if they keep winning. Advantage is also used to power Creature Traits such as the Breath of a Dragon.

There is a limit of how many additional Advances you can take in a single skill in 2E (i.e. Skill Mastery) - I think its 2 (you can buy the same skill a total of 3 times) meaning a maximum of +20%. 4E does not cap the number of advances for Characteristics and Skills other than the XP cost...
