If you do pick these up, I would recommend getting Gold Box Companion to play them with. https://gbc.zorbus.net/ GBC has a whole bunch of quality-of-life features, like "auto-map" and "will look up journal entries for you so you don't need to have the Journal open in a PDF reader all the time"...

Hackmaster 4e and (IIRC) 5e uses a system like this, with the added bit that when the die explodes it, IIRC, steps down with each subsequent explosion, to balance it for weapons like daggers.

Nah, "Gimmie All Your Lovin'" by ZZ Top is more so, and that got used in a children's film! (Specifically, The Santa Clause).

If space was not an issue (and I wasn't on a level 2 evacuation notice in 2020 due to wildfires), I'd prefer my books in physical form. However, I tend to buy books as .pdfs first, unless it's not available in PDF, or if it's a really good deal (like my copy of OG Delta Green I got at a Value...

I wouldn't mind having markers for some of the official modules, if not fan-made ones, just so GMs have a bit of an idea how close, or how far apart, the various adventures are, so they can put some thought into adventure selections based on where they're basing their campaign.

Minor clarification - Dark Horse is a creator-owned comic company, so, IIRC, Mike Mignola owns Hellboy, not Dark Horse. Theoretically, if Dark Horse treated Mike badly, Mike could take his ball and go to IDW or Image or whoever, depending on the terms of the contract. It's like saying Dark Horse...

I like the game and setting, but one of the big things with the mechanics was that the character mechanics weren't class-based, and with a particular focus on skill levels (well before ESO came out). Almost to the point that a variant of something like the Genesys system or Cypher system might...

One setting tweak I'd make with this - the River Lis, which connects the Moonsea with the Sea of Fallen Stars, in Setting As Written (SAW), is not generally navigable (for reasons unrelated to harassment from raiders along the shoreline - it's a shallow marshy river). Change that to make the...

I played through the first game a while back (and reviewed it) - and the big issue with approaching the game, is that the game is 1E RAW, complete with treasure for XP, but with the side bit that you get giant piles of money (and all the encumbrance that goes with it), and not a lot to do with...

One of the things I'd consider doing is, once Paizo's 5e Kingmaker conversion comes out, using the Kingmaker domain management rules and use that to partially cover the reconstruction of Phlan.

I backed the Kickstarter and have a Blu-Ray copy of it, but, like the Dwarven Forge documentary (which I wasn't able to back at the time), it's nice to see these out in the wild and available to watch for those who weren't able to back the kickstarter.

I have a dice bag that was made for me by a relative as a Christmas gift. Before that, I used the classic Crown Royal bag.

So basically we've got something of a semi-official "Legends" split on the various campaign settings, while not making a thing about it the same way Disney & Lucasfilm did.

They did new corebooks for Smith and Capaldi as well.

Yes, "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way"

But they also had books announced and ready to print - IIRC I remember people talking about books they had written, had submitted for publication, and had been paid for (particularly the Annihilation Event Book), but were not published.

The point is, the last two Marvel tabletop RPGs, one published in house, the other published by a third party, were cancelled by Marvel internal management very abruptly. Now, frankly, with the diceless game, while the official reason is it wasn't selling as well as D&D, the game's...

True - but Marvel did do that when they canceled their previous attempt at making an internally published tabletop RPG - Marvel Diceless - with several sourcebooks ready to go - because it wasn't selling as well as the recently released D&D 3rd Edition.

They've been getting into some stuff with alternate Drow Cities that aren't evil (artic Drow and jungle Drow), with keeping the Lloth Worshippers evil - so I could see them doing something with tweaking the story to introduce those other Drow populations, maybe.

Possibly Vecna as a Black (mana) Planeswalker. Mordenkainen would probably be in Blue, Elminster in White or White/Red.
