    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    That's good feedback. I checked and those 2 publications alone in PDF format would cost me more than the core book - yikes. I'm going to hold off. The W&G starter set can be found at online retailers in my country for cheap. So, I'm probably going to push the [Buy] button on it and see if the...

    Ken Burnside on how screwed Asmodee is

    The moment I read that Asmodee acquired FFG, I had a gut feeling it was going to end in a cluster-f%$@. It was mostly their FFG and Days of Wonder games that I own. I'm not surprised by the news they witheld the republishing of some TTRPGs and board games. I'd noticed for a while that some of...

    I made a terrible life decision…

    "Alphabetize or die!" That was the motto stapled to the shelves of our shared vinyl record and cassette tapes, when I was in college. :LOL: I typically alphabetize, but I'm down to only 4-1/2 ft of shelf space for tabletop books. Which includes my TT miniature books, but they only occupy half...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    Well low & behold, today (Monday) new copies of the WHFRP 4e CRB appeared at 2 online stores in my country that I recently browsed. I'm surprised, because it's listed for the same price at both (not common here) and for the lowest I've ever seen it. One of them has it listed as a limited time...

    GURPS 4th Edition Revised Announced

    The only way I'd buy into GURPS again, would be if there was also a new Character Set book which had templates that included a pared down skills list of all those appropriate to the genre a character belongs to. I no longer care to cobble my own together from suggested primary, secondary and...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    It could be, but I noticed W&G CRB are available at the C7 Store. Good suggestion. I've done that a few times in the past. Although those WH40k CRBs are bigger in page count than anything I've had printed & bound before.

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    It probably is in part due to limited availablility, but it seems limited, if not sold out coast to coast in my country. In particular, I was referring to the Wrath & Glory CRB. I can source W&G starter kits in LGSs and a number of the other W&G line of books local and online (even found a IM...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    Yep, figured that was the case - the WHFRP 3 book I was lent was published by FFG. Even if there was a drivethrurpg WHFRP 2 POD around then, I wouldn't have considered it because I'm in Canada and PODs from them had VERY high shipping costs then - probably would have been just as cheap to buy a...

    So what's the deal with solo gaming?

    It's also available for the Fantasy Grounds VTT. With the 1 caveat, that unlike the book/PDF which includes the core rules, you need to already own the Star Trek Adventures ruleset for FG. Still, it's really nice to have FG's features like stories, encounters, missions, the combat tracker and...

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do you Play BECM/RC D&D? How Was/Is It?

    I didn't vote, because none of the choices seemed to apply to me. I've only played and DM'd Old School Essentials, but I've been told by some that it's a modern BECMI retroclone. If that's the case, there's nothing in that poll that would suit me. Unless I should just vote for "I'm playing it...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 5th Edition Is Coming in 2026

    I've never owned print editons of anything Warhammer. I've bought a number of the rules PDFs for WHFRP and WH40K over the years when they were on sale, but never sat down to table for it. Somewhere around 2010 I got a WHFRP 3 HC lent to me with the idea that I could buy it for cheap if I liked...

    DCC Goodman Losing Lankhmar License

    I was looking to get into DCC Lankhmar a while back, but opted to go with the Dying Earth boxset and PDFs instead. I'm glad I made that decision, as it proved to be a quality adaptation and I had fun taking a party to level 4. I own most of the content for both the 2e and SW adaptations of...

    Other D&D Variant Warriors and Warlocks: Mutants and Masterminds vs D&D

    I've only sat down to Warriors & Warlocks for M&M a handful of times. I liked it, though I found PCs to be fairly high on the power curve in terms of characters for the types of Fantasy genres D&D embraces. What I've played an GMd a lot however, is True20 which shares the same DNA and a number...

    What does a tank graveyard mean to you in your game?

    If my game was a Weird Wars adventure, it might mean or evoke something like this... On the leeward side of gnarled and singed bocage, the wounded and burning carcasses of heavy metal, felines - German Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger tanks. The fallen prey of deadeye Anti-tankers, laying silent and...

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    For sure a bit while playing the Arkham Horror Living Card Game. But it sort of makes sense and comes natural with it, as it's character driven and its core rules share some similarities with TTRPGs. Other than it, only ad-hoc when playing Force on Force miniatures when players felt like being...

    RPGs in Retirement Homes

    Why pre-pandemic? Is there something that makes 2019 and earlier different or special? Anyhow... Yes, I live in a apartment tower in which the 1st, 3 floors are subsidised suites for Persons With Disabilties and Seniors. I'm one of the consultants for the Tenant advisory committee, so gotten...

    AD&D 2E Can anyone give me a rundown on Red Steel and other obscure D&D settings not mentioned in this video?

    Sounds like you might enjoy Al Qadim. It's an Arabian themed setting created for AD&D2e. In particular, it's good for sea campaigns, as it has a Corsairs of the Great Sea companion and it's 1st adventure (Golden Voyages) has all sorts of seafaring content like ship deck maps and attractive...

    Contemporary Simulationist TTRPGs [+]

    I would categorize flavors of the Cepheus Engine as contemporary simulationist. Its SRD is based upon Mongoose Traveler 1e, but there's flavors that diverge away from the far future SciFi of Traveler to more contemporary time frames. Like Traveller it works with the premise that PCs will advance...

    RuneQuest and Glorantha ideas

    It would without a doubt be 13th Age, as there's an official, quality adaptation of Glorantha for it. Not to mention I'm a big fan of 13A. I'm also a fan of Mythras (RQ6 with serial numbers filed off) though and I could see running it with those rules too. I own BRP-UGE, Call of Cthulhu, Delta...
