Mongoose is really on a roll trying to recover all of the GDW properties. Good on them! I hope they reach out to Lester B. Smith, I get the impression that their interactions with Marc Miller have all been positive.

Honestly, I don't think they're going to be any more bothered by Exodus being Traveller inspired then all the other Traveller inspired settings/games from Starfield to Battletech to Firefly. Battletech (from a former GDW licensee!) even took the 2d6 combat system and jump drive galaxy...

Ditto, recieved it a while ago and thought it was released a few months back. The physical book is a gorgeous coffe table piece and I'm just as happy with it as with Shannon Applecline's other works.

Thanks again for the recommendation. I'm half way through and enjoying it! Same here. I suspect it's because it's not going to be a 2025 title, which I'm also slightly disappointed at.

Wrong with us. I'm going to blame Mass Effect nostalgia and an ongoing Traveller campaign in my case. Delighted to see that Travelers are part of the Exodus universe, they're not hiding their heritage!

Just got the link for the preorder, so it's starting to roll out. Shipping to Canada costs almost as much as the book...

I've really missed this article. Welcome back and all the best for your recovery!

Oof, there's been too many good crowdfunding campaigns lately. I haven't recovered from Kobold Press's Planescape Labyrinth campaign, Ars Magica this week, and Monte Cook's Darkest Woods next week. I hope everyone is finding something to love!

I hope the omission of video games is one of brevity in the blurb and not intent from WotC... This one area I agree the D&D brand is undermonetized--I have money and I will gladly throw it at good games like Baldur's Gate 3! The impression I got from Sven is part of why Larian wasn't interested...

There's less of a console exclusivity thing going on with Nintendo these days, so you have a lot of Sony or Microsoft players buying Nintendo consoles as well. You can add ~100 million Wii sales or >150 million Switch to the Microsoft + Sony numbers and overestimate the market size or add less...

To clarify, WotC is making no such claims. I wish I could find the quote, but Phil Spencer of Microsoft has had estimated the size of the console industry as A) 200-300 million consoles, and B) essentially static between generations. If you grab the sales data off Wikipedia, the rough estimate...

I wonder I this is my fault? I preordered three copies, returned both online orders because they were damaged, and kept the copy from a FLGS.

Ha. I've had the exact opposite experience. Amazon doesn't ship a single D&D product I preorder, I spend hours with customer support for them to tell my order is with the wrong distribution centre, and they can't change the distribution centre so I need to cancel my preorder, and reorder the...

October 15th alone is going to be an expensive day for Wizard TTRPG campaigns, apparently Ars Magica is launching on the same day as this!

I didn't think I needed City of Arches, I've got piles of Planescape 2e PDFs and a heavy hardcover of Ptolus that I'll probably never run. The sample really changed my mind, this looks like a really great campaign source book.

I thought it was amazing how the rights to Traveller reverted back to Marc Miller after GDW folded. Glad to see the transition to Mongoose appears to be just as peaceful. I never got to play classic Traveller, but Mongoose has been a good custodian of the licence so I hope this is a good start...

I'm excited by this game, but I hope this doesn't translate into yet another PbtA-style game. Nothing wrong with that, except that it's pretty hard to make a product better than Blades in the Dark, and this sounds like Blades in the Dark...

I've been meaning to ask if any non-Americans have been having issues with Amazon and D&D books. My Amazon.ca copy is pending and unshipped, even though the store page says it's in stock? I haven't had any success with any WotC preorders since Random House stopped distributing their books.

The backer kit mentions Darkmoon Vale, but I don't know Golarion well enough. Possibly the Crown of the Kobold King being adapted? I really love the PACG, so I might back PFQ. Scratches a similar itch, hopefully.
