Ordinarily I'd argue its all fine under the OGL but I did get this one....its a chunky book!... and was shocked to see the author specifically did not publish under the OGL at all. Awkward given how much very particular Pathfinder content there is. Also I'm one of those unicorns, a guy who ran...

Yeah if you still have people playing 1E locally that's an incentive to stick with it. In my area of the woods I know of at least five GMs who moved to 2E (including myself) and as a result there are lots of 2E groups and no one plays 1E anymore. Every now and then I get nostalgic for my...

I just want to throw this out: running PF2E as a GM is an order of magnitude easier than it was trying to GM PF1E. Discuss!

My general opinion on stats and roleplaying low scores is that players should go with what's fun for them. When it comes to OSR I think there's a notion that you should use your own personal skill first and the stats will offset that. But if someone doesn't want to play an INT 3 character (and...

Shadowdark does have this to a degree: the rules advise if you roll and don't have 2 stats with at least a 14 in them to restart.

I mean.....only if it's shrinkwrapped. Which admittedly a lot of rpg books are these days.

Chaosium did this with a 5E Cthulhu sourcebook. A book I would buy in print, PDF and even on Roll20 but cannot because it is only on D&D Beyond.

I mean....for some people that would be a loss. I'd much prefer a 6E that did not require I log in to D&D Beyond.

Very interesting take. I won't fault him for his perspective, but I bet other publishers do well by recognizing that some sales through the distribution chain eventually lead to more sales online. I'm a "whale" as gaming goes, meaning I spend an unhealthy amount of money on books, and often the...

This is now making me imagine that seafaring combat rules in PF2E will be 100% compatible with starfaring combat rules in SF2E, leading to intriguing naval ship vs. starship combat situations. It will be like the Battleship movie, except with more kholo, ysoki and skittermanders.....!

Ruins of the Twilight Marches....backed!

This is making me realize that there is a big component to this hobby that I have no real comprehension of. MCDM and their output is a mystery to me, and I wonder why I have never seen any of their products on game shelves....are they online only? I guess I should investigate instead of just...

Looking forward to both of these books! PF2E Remaster appears to be the system my group has settled on for the foreseeable future.

That's all I know to be excited for what they may bring to the 5E space!

I'm a lot more interested in sales figures. I would be curious how WotC did for the holidays, and D&D in particular. The reason is that locally none of the FLGSs seemed able to move the new D&D books....like, at all. One had a ton of the new Forgotten Realms books and ended up putting them on...

Yes, you totally could, and we actually did. The great thing about AD&D 2E in fact was that it provided an entire line of historical resource books which you could use to run reasonably authentic adventures in different time periods (Greek, Roman, Viking, Renaissance) and add/subtract magic and...

Those books were so amazing. I got a lot of mileage out of A Mighty Fortress.

But in prior editions you could in fact construct more realistic or low fantasy settings by simply choosing from the best resources and limiting players to appropriate choices, and not feel like you were excising 80% of the game in the process; even if the base assumptions of D&D weren't...

I haven't been able to find a copy that wasn't shrink wrapped so I can only see the cover art... :cautious: That said, not a deal breaker at all. I may grab a copy at the FLGS today as this review has sold me on it.

Glad to see this reviewed! Been interested to read about this one....I am put off by the art style (just not a fan of cartoonish art like this, obviously YMMV) but the actual premise sounds intriguing.
