I'm adopting a "wait and see" attitude. I'll read reviews. I'll see how extensive the errata is. I'll see how it compares to 5e in final complexity and changes. I'll see if it provides options out of the box that support my preferred playstyle. Then and only then will I make my decision on...

I'm definitely interested. It sounds like they've listened to folks who don't like single-system bespoke dice (myself included) and combined with streamlining, it's definitely piqued my interest.

So, @Morrus does this mean the thread merits a nice, big update in its lengthy historical overview post? :) Hopefully we'll enjoy an even bigger update in future when WotC are finished with their suit too.

The first flick, you're right but two was apes establishing their community, and three was full-on post-apocalyptic humans vs. apes. And the impending fourth film (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) goes beyond that and has conflicting ape cultures, regressed humans, etc. approaching the setting...

Eh. Had it been based on the newer (and forthcoming) films I'd have been more interested. The old flicks do present a gameable setting, but I'm in my early 50s and they were old before I reached my teens, so I'm not sure how much nostalgia pull they have for wider audiences. Plus, I think most...

Roll a d6, folks: 1-2: Bot 3-4: Troll 5-6: Spammer in Waiting

So, is it fair to say we're starting to see the beginning of the end of LaNada's legal shenanigans?

So, do we know about any forthcoming dates surrounding this?

Have they ever addressed or mentioned options that specifically support Theatre of the Mind play, e.g. zone-based combat, etc.? Something beyond ye olde eyeball or handwave the highly-specific measurements.

Eh, after the promotional partnering with Legion of Myth, that's a resounding "Hell no." from me, as much as I loved TMNT&OS back in the day.

Out of curiosity, what playstyles do they cover between them?

An obvious example of the "I ignore it, I just wanna play." individual, is Ernie Gygax, who for the most part, was happy to roll along with NuTSR. Even if he hadn't made his own mistakes, he'd certainly still be tarnished by continued association. Rightly or wrongly, folks are judged by the...

I'm not remotely assuming a universal consensus. I'd also argue that if you want to reach the widest possible market, you at least make the appearance of neutrality. And while you can argue that no publicity is bad publicity, that's not strictly true, because if a few more folks purchase because...

Even beyond the horrible messaging and optics involved, it's a deeply stupid association on multiple levels, because if their licensor or the wider RPG public gain awareness of it (and bad publicity ensues), things could head south very, very quickly. And there's no way Palladium can say...

They also seem to enjoy using a lot of slurs in their Youtube vids and I can only assume that Palladium either share their views or are entirely comfortable having a close and friendly association with folks who do. As someone who has loved ones directly impacted by the kind of hateful rhetoric...

Legion of Myth are one of the Youtube channels Palladium work with a lot for promotional purposes. LoM enjoy ranting about "the woke mob," "the left grooming kids in schools", etc. I also remember when they called Catalyst Game Labs "Cuckalyst Game Labs" because CGL had offended them by being woke.

The fact that Palladium are happy to use Legion of Myth to promote the KS on Youtube is more than enough reason for me to completely avoid it, even ignoring Palladium's rather messy history with KS and fulfilment.

I'd like decent options that actively support Theatre of the Mind play. Something beyond ye olde handwavium/eyeball it. Think zone-based combat rolled together with abstracted areas of effect, ranges, etc. Options for encumbrance that do not involve bean counting would also be welcome.

By settlement, I assume that means he'll likely be required to pay them a given sum (possibly including the cost of their lawyers up to this point) and probably make a statement to the effect that he was in the wrong?

So, do we know anything new regarding LaNasa's recent grillings?
