Reminds me of Pointy Hat's Druid video, where his example PC was an abandoned gardening automaton that eventually gained (or was gifted) sentience.

No Arcane Vigor, either. I was really hoping for that one. Still, got Pact Invocations, buffed Martial Arts, and no exhaustion on Berserker. I'm fairly happy.

Great to see. I hope someone can pull the few good ideas from 2024 (Boon Invocations, stronger Martial Arts, a few of the new/revised spells) and backport them into their 2014 clones. Hopefully we can all cut Wizards out of the equation as much as possible, before they pull some new bit of...

I hope this hits DriveThru, eventually. I'm very interested, but I VERY much prefer to go through that account for my books.

"Planes of the Labyrinth"?

I presume it's a social RPG, like the World of Darkness games. Mostly talking backed up with the occasional skill role.

See also: The Good Society and Flabbergasted!, which go for Jane Austen and PG Wodehouse, respectively.

Google (Ugh, how do I get it to let me use asterisks?) Ooh, cozy mysteries in Hobbiton/Toad Hall? Powered by GUMSHOE? Color me intrigued. https://pelgranepress.com/2024/10/22/shires-out/

Oh, this looks down right precious. Always need... lighter (tonally) games on the market. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

This was NOT on my bingo card (still waiting for the Dreamlands book and that update of World War Cthulhu that's supposed to be happening, eventually), but I am not complaining. Especially if this gives enough background to make this a viable setting past the pre-written stuff. I've been...

While this would be on the cusp of the Economic Miracle fizzling out. Could be a bit depression for some.

You know, I think I prefer Ancestry as a replacement. Because Character Creation is as simple as: Ancestry. Background. Class. Sorry, this thread felt like it needed some levity...

Left-field picks: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advanced Double D6 (Itch, DTRPG, Etsy). Covers everything from from Characters to Creatures to... Quests in forty-four pages. Can't speak...

1). I'd rather limit the amount of money I'm giving to Wizards, right now. 2). 2014 has more third-party support, currently. 3). The few changes that interest me (like Pact Boons being optional or the scaling on the Martial Arts die) I can backport with minimal issue.

Way too late to really help you, but this thread feels incomplete without mentioning it. Warlocks can make VERY strong Detectives. The amount of Invocations that can assist in an investigation are numerous. Beast Speech: Increases witness pool. Beguiling Influence: Enhances interrogations...

You know, I love when a work does a spin-off of in-universe fairy tales or urban legends, so this could be great. I do agree with the above posts and hope that the writing assumes a "citizen's" familiarity with the setting. Explaining "common knowellage" things would kill the immersion.

I'll be picking up the PDF, if it hits DTRPG.

Year-Later Update: the book is apparently in a near-final state. They're still doing the last edit/art pass. Also: they have apparently been doing a development podcast for quite a while. Latest episode is on some of the subclasses.

I'll always be more of a Book Darts man. Adhesive on my $50+ core book? No, thank you. I'm also limiting how much of my cash goes to Wizards, after everything.

Yeah, "Iconic" NPCs are the obvious use for these. That, or a PC that REALLY wears their inspiration om their sleeve (I'm really tempted to build a Wyll/Halsin/Karlach knockoff, myself).
