What TTRPGs Have Excel, Not Combat?

My experience with CoC from 20 years ago was mixed, but I gave it another chance with 7e, Pulp Cthulhu, and the Two-Headed serpent campaign, and I have to say, I find it quite enjoyable. Part of it is certainly the group, but I also find the new bonus/penalty dice system quite nice, and using...

Same here. But it does look interesting, so I think I'll check the preview and see if I can make room at least for the PDFs.

I think it's fair to say that the new books will basically be slightly revised, "OGL-free" versions of the Advanced Player's and Referee's Tome. Which are probably the most popular product right now, so economically it makes sense. I find it slightly sad, though, because having a cleaned-up...

German YouTube channel Orkenspalter TV did an interview with Dominic McDowall at SPIEL (in English). Mainly he confirmed that they are trying to keep things backward compatible, citing the change for advantage as a prominent one. He also mentioned that they don't really have an interest in...

I think "voice acting" would oversell it, but, similar to others here, I try to be clear about when I'm speaking IC and when it's OOC, and I also try to adjust tone and vocabulary a bit based on the character I'm playing / the NPC I'm currently representing. It's only a handful of really...

Not really strong ones, but I do notice that there's a bit of stiffness spreading to the lower head after a workout. I had blamed that on my overall fitness leaving a lot of room for improvement (I don't remember having that issues 10 years back), but maybe this is a more general thing.

Yes. I literally linked the Sons of Russ product page in the C7 store. And last announcement for Imperium Maledictum is only a few month old (C7 blog). And at least in the EU, you can order products for both right away from the C7 store. Not I cannot tell if the situation is worse in the US (I...

That sounds like an unfortunate case of limited availability in your local stores, because from a publishing perspective, both Wrath&Glory and the newer Imperium Maledictum are still supplied with new releases by C7. In fact, the former just received a Space Wolves supplement (Sons of Russ). And...

If I'm not mistaken, Mooman is really just a single developer and I'm not even sure if he's employed by C7 (I think not, but I don't know for sure). So it means, while he might have been working on that for the past two years, he's not working full time on it, and he also does a lot of other...

There's now also an interview about WFRP 5e up on wargamer.com - Link. Not exactly any groundbreaking news, but there are some remarks about simplified calculation of success levels and less tracking for advantage in combat that sound to me like they will address some of the issues I had with 4e.

Assuming Beyond the Wall counts as D&D, because of its "B/X-ish" rules, that's 9 sessions of roughly 2-3 hours so far this year. So probably 20-25 hours in total.

13 sessions of Pulp Cthulhu, 3 sessions Savage Worlds so far this year (if I have counted correctly). Each session is about 3 hours, so overall probably 40-50 hours.

You are probably thinking of The Old World RPG, which uses a d10 pool system. This is a relatively fresh product line - so fresh in fact, that no physical products are out yet - that is distinct from WFRP and does indeed go a bit back in time setting-wise (300 years, if I remember correctly).
