100% of the gamers I knew back in the day had access to a copy of the Complete Book of Humanoids. Since I had one and I used to lend it out (frequently, since it was super-cool book). Since your hobby store didn't carry it, but my hobby store did, I think we can safely say that it was in 50% of...

The PF 1st Edition / D&D 4e POD demand versions are currently (approximately) £40 for Act One, £25 for Act Two and £28 for Act Three on DTRPG, which includes the PDFs but does not include shipping. I'd say that was excellent value, especially since I paid USD 195 for them a decade ago when I...

There's Deathwatch as well. The RPG books seem pretty expensive on eBay (in the UK, at least) but that may just be because fans want to collect them, rather than use them to play the TTRPG. I'm a big fan of Dan Abnett's novels, especially Eisenhorn / Ravenor (inquisitors) and the Gaunt's...

I'm looking forward to Pioneer, and I'd love an updated (physical version) starter set.

Apparently, the USA does have some employment contracts, just they are usually only for "professionals and highly skilled employees". Where I live, my employer can change my work hours, my work location and my job duties (within reason) but that's because it's set out in my contract of...

In the day, the cows are out on the pasture. In the evening, they come home to sleep in the cowshed. Depends to some extent on the climate, of course. Google seems to think the phrase originated in Scotland, where it can get cold.

Scorpion Swamp, although I'm guessing we all already knew that. As a child, I knew that some were written by Steve Jackson, and some were written by Ian Livingstone, and assumed that the ones with both names on the cover were written jointly. Turns out that, apart from Warlock of Firetop...

I know a power gamer who doesn't come up with his own ideas, just uses an online guide. He's pretty good at checking with his GM where the guide says he probably should do, but doesn't do so otherwise - he seems to lack the basic understanding to determine for himself whether something is...

Anna Meyer's map has Sesserine marked on it. I don't know if you are familiar with it, but it's a great map. Anna Meyer Greyhawk Map Obviously, you need to know where to look on it for Sesserine, but the earlier posts on this thread have shown its location already.

Another Librarything user - yet I still managed to buy a duplicate copy of d20 Past recently. I've got about 3,700 RPG products listed there; no way I could remember all of those.

Yes - see gban007's post above. That's the same game I'm talking about (I mistakenly used the date it became available for POD on Amazon). Also, in case it isn't clear, one of the things that happened was that the GURPS Light rules were integrated into the text, rather than being included as...

"Modiphius’ roleplaying game will be the first RPG for Discworld since 1998, when Steve Jackson Games published a sourcebook using its GURPS rules." Seems a bit misleading, given it then became the Discworld Roleplaying Game (powered by GURPS) which had an update to GURPS 4th edition in 2021.

It's not a good deal, recently, it's 5 excellent kickstarters since 2018, and a current 6th one that is progressing nicely. I'm not trying to convince you of anything - you've obviously got reasons for feeling the way you do. I'm providing my own perspective. No congratulations are needed or...

I've backed numerous Mongoose Kickstarters, and they all delivered what they promised, and on time. I've got a lot of confidence in Mongoose.

I don't have the book any more, but I seem to remember mention of the Sith in connection with Vader. A friend of mine has it on ebook and he looked it up for me. The first time we meet Vader, he is described as a Dark Lord of the Sith. We aren't told anything about the Sith except they are scary.

It's surprising how much that small error is irritating me. But I'm okay with Oryly instead of Oryly's. (I assume it's pronounced "O'Reilly" which is also making me groan.) The only comment so far on Drivethru is entirely concerned with commas.

The mere mention of the Stealth Train in that article made me giggle. I'm going to have to dig out my old copy and read it again, but it's probably buried away in a box somewhere. (The version I have is in Crash Priority for Paranoia XP, not sure if it is a conversion of an earlier adventure.)

Or for something completely different, there is the Oddsocks 45 minute livestreamed comedy version, performed during lockdown. Oddocks Macbeth (I'd suggest skipping the first 4 minutes of intro, but not skipping the cast intro, which takes about a minute after that)

Failed five consecutive Will saves.

I voted for 3, because I liked the level of ferocity shown by the wolves (more than 1 and 2, but without the glowing eyes of 4). Although 1 has my favourite castle, and there's something sinister about how Strahd and wolves are apparently so welcoming. At the moment 2 is winning the vote, but...
