I still have the old box! An interesting game for sure, it definitely was influential. Thanks for the article. Glad it's making a comeback.

What makes you say that, can you mention a couple of examples?

See, that's a great solution and very practical. When our department was hiring, that's what they did. One person printed CVs and put a plaster on names. And put them in the pile to be reviewed. Nice, simple, effective. At least for the first round of selection. Then you have the interviews, and...

So the way you suggest we solve these types of issues is by developing mind reading abilities as a society. Good solution, and i'm all for it. Just not very practical. I personally think we should focus on equality of opportunity not equality of outcome. The latter makes no sense, and your...

Thanks for the review, sounds interesting.

I really enjoyed the review, and your style of writing it ("does this game belong in a museum", ha 😆) The question of how to deal with this pulpy boulder-chases-affer-you situation is very close to my heart. I'd asked John Harper about it ages ago. If you're interested in what he said, you can...

Do you know all the answers? Comfortable to whom? And how is what people have said about real life groups relevant to a fantasy game that involves a fantastic race that is designed to evoke "otherness"? (In a similar fashion to, as someone said, every single culture and world mythology has done...

The spice must flow...

Cú Chulainn is clearly The Man. Great entry.

I personally don't care much for this property, but i'm glad that the people that do will have the option to run this in 5e. The reason i'm rooting for this, is that hopefully it will pave the way for a Masters of the Universe rpg :-)

Thank you for sharing all this valuable advice.

Fair point. To explain my thinking: After: reading 13th Age, particularly the escalation die mechanic playing 5th reading about Balsera-Style and Greyhawk initiative planning a campaign for a single player, and two players i thought that it would be cool if you had two or three initiative...

Yes, i'd be interested in taking a look, thanks for the offer. One question - what was the incentive for writing something you wouldn't use? Unless it was part of your process.

Alternative initiative systems, including: -Elective Action Order/Balsera-Style/Popcorn initiative -Greyhawk initiative (modified not to penalise bonus actions) ...but playtested to oblivion. Port the rules from Gumshoe/Lorefinder to 5e - the conversion should be easy...

Would you consider including alternative initiative systems in the wishlist of features?

The Fandom & Cortex+ alliance is the gift that keeps on giving! My 12 year old self would have been over the moon with these news! I owe it to him to get this and play it. Thank you guys, looking forward to it! Nostalgia overload :giggle:

Yeah, not for me. Not at that price.

Many thanks for the extensive example, appreciated. I got the hacker's toolkit a while ago but never invested the time to go through it. I think i'll revisit it in anticipation of the Xadia iteration. (y)

Could you expand on how that would work?

I really liked the show, i think the storytelling is excellent. And have been very interested in trying out Cortex for a long time. So i'm very excited about this :)
