Yes and no. Shadowdark is firmly within the OSR space as far as play style goes, but it leans heavily on some 5e mechanics which does draw some people from D&D as well. I think that's why it was so successful, because it had something for both camps. The creator is also pretty cool, and the...

I am left wondering where Shadowdark ranks amongst all of this as well. It seems to be quite popular, and made bank on both of its kickstarters. It also has an extensive 3rd party community and marketplace, with many YouTubers launching very successful SD kickstarters. Not sure that translates...

This news plus Lanzillo leaving WotC over the weekend? I knew D&D was in trouble, but man, when it rains it pours.

I did. But the digital bundle.

Same with me. 5e had its time for me, and that time is long gone. There are far more interesting things going on with other game systems, and other non-D&D settings, to limit myself to just 5e. I've got one buddy who's itching for DC20 to release, a couple more who will try anything at least...

The only plus to WotC doing a Dark Sun book would be the DM's Guild material that would follow. However, as WotC has previously stated, the setting is "far too problematic" for them to even glance at.

I sincerely hope not. Dark Sun is best left with the fan community.

It's a shame they're only doing DCC and 5e for this. I would have backed a version for Shadowdark or ACKS instantly.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better RPG book on dragons. The 3.5e Draconomicon is the gold standard.

I nabbed a KS copy of this. Glad I did. Very cool book and the author has plans for tons of adventures for it.

I liked some of the stuff from Starfinder 1e as a setting, but the rpg itself never interested me. 2e is also def not my bag. There are lots of sci-fi RPG's out there, some tied to various franchises like Aliens and Star Trek. As for WotC, I think they are working on some RPG adaptation of a...

Lol, I'm the same. The Star*Drive setting was super cool. Very different from Star Wars, Star Trek, and anything else popular at the time. The Alternity system itself was quite complex we found, and some of my players didn't catch on to the roll low mechanics that easily. I do remember the...

WotC continues to disappoint.

I definitely agree.

Ugh, that cartoon art. D&D for toddlers.

I bought it. No question for me.

I'm well aware of how the two game systems play, and how they treat combats, XP, treasure, etc. But as mentioned previously, the port to Savage Pathfinder was a direct one for a couple of reasons. The most important one being licensing.

PEG would have taken flak from fans of the adventure paths for removing any of those encounters. It's up the GM to include and exclude what they feel is relevant for their group. And I'm also confident the guys doing the conversion mentioned at the very start, they these conversions would be...
