Horrendous cover. But I'm probably too old and out of target.

From what I've heard, the three parts of the old campaign were: 1. Sandboxy forest crawl 2. Dungeon crawl 3. Railroady linear adventure The new edition is expected to keep 1 and 2 mostly intact, while revising 3.

No American designer? Ducks were in RuneQuest 1978, by the Americans Greg Stafford and Steve Perrin. And still are. The Dragonbane ducks come straight from the BRP roots of the game.

The meh is powerful in this one. :( It looks decidely inferior both to Phandelver and to the Essentials kit. And it does not even have the gimmicky quality of the (forgettable) Stranger Things starter set.

Understood. If they called RuneQuest Roleplaying in Glorantha "cutting edge" they used the wrong word. To me it is rather a labor of love, showing that you can create a rich, immersive game that really works on the table by using tools that were around circa 1985. This is what they did. But...

Dunno what's your beef with Chaosium' but this came across as an unnecessary quip. Especially because, looking at their design choices with RQG, they're not even remotely trying to feel contemporary. They're just doing their own thing (with gorgeous art).

Lex Arcana is a beautiful game. I'd recommend its well researched and gorgeous sourcebooks to anyone interested in setting a campaign in the Roman era. As for Cohors it's a hard pass for me. With Lex Arcana, Cthulhu Invictus and BRP Rome I have more than enough Roman rpgs. I'll keep an eye on...

That's the solo adventure. In the box there are three other scenarios meant to be played with a group and referee. It's a lot of stuff!

Well, actually I'm exactly 50. I made myself older in the post. 😀 Yes, with all respect for Ward and Gygax Jr., that nostalgia boat has sailed around a decade ago.

Gamer in his 50's here. I too find the whole operation very sad. It's not clear at all what are they supposed to bring back exactly from the good old days that has not already been brought back by the countless of "old school" rpgs that came out in the last decade or so, and they honestly do not...

The versions you mention are complex, but BRP can be very simple. This is the BRP core rules: Game Rules (Online SRD) – Basic Roleplaying An it's very, very simple. Call of Cthulhu (any edition) is also a version of BRP, and it's very simple. From what Lynne Hardy says, I get the impression...

My experience with the CoC7 starter set as an long time CoC player new to the 7th edition. Alone against the Flames. Played it two times, barely surviving. It is short but very atmospheric. Liked it a lot. A great way to learn how the new edition work. I have run Paper Chase for my son and he...

Not a very informative review. It would be nice to know how much it deviates from the two original adventures it packs together (Mistaken Identity and Shadows over Bogenhafen). Being a "director's cut" one would like to know what has been changed. Also, the review makes it seem that the whole...

Chaosium. It was based on their BRP system. Pretty cool game.

I salute the first genuinely new thing done under the solid but hyper-conservative 5th edition. After revisiting classic modules (Ravenloft, Temple of Elemental Evil, Against the Giants, Undermountain, the classic dungeons book) and dwelling in the classic setting of the forgotten Realms...

No playable halflings? I wanted to play a halfling surgeon! "Sew red to red, yellow to yellow, white to white and everything will be alright!" http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Milo_Vanderbeck

The correct spelling is "Daedalus", "Daedelus" is incorrect. The entry uses a mix of the two, but mostly the wrong one.

The Essential 4e sets were 10 double sided sheets each. If these are indeed 16 sheets (x2 sides), it's considerably more and great value for the price. :) I might well get the reincarnated City set, which I did not get for Essentials.

Now, it's ok for me as well. When I posted I had checked with http://www.isitdownrightnow.com and it said it was down so, I think it wasn't just me. I'm happy it was just a temporary glitch.
