    ALIEN RPG Launches New Kickstarter

    I'm a bit said that they expect everyone to buy minis. I don't need and even dislike minis, and there is no relevant bundle that does not include minis. I had to add everything as addons, which took quite long, and I don't even get bundle discounts this way. I hope that this is not a sign that...

    Pathfinder Teases New Runelords Content

    Regardless of the reason why, the fact that the PF to Savage Worlds conversion was a direct one, and not "Savage World"-ified, made me stop buying them. I was hoping for a complete re-work, in a Savage Worlds Plot Point Campaign style.

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    Re grimdark and frogs: it's probably not what the definition of what grimdark is, but there was a Netflix animation called Kulipari: An Army of Frogs (based on some novels, but I haven't read them), that is about frogs that fight against scorpions and other evil enemies. And it gets quite dark...

    Circle Casting Coming in Forgotten Realms Player's Guide

    They were quite complex in WoT (the novel, I don't remember how it was in the RPG), but I found them very interesting: Link

    Circle Casting Coming in Forgotten Realms Player's Guide

    Inspired by The Wheel of Time? Or were there other fantasy novels where Circles were important?

    2025 Monster Manual to Introduce Male Versions of Hags, Medusas, and Dryads

    My favourite evil non-orc monsters are the trollocs from The Wheel of Time. They are as disturbing as it gets and have an interesting variety.

    Voltron RPG on Kickstarter

    I've backed it, but I can (and probably will) unback it. Unless they give a shipping estimate, confirm that shipping will be EU friendly (delivery duties paid), and they give information about whether a campaign is included. Currently they are saying on Facebook that they cannot tell us whether...

    Voltron RPG on Kickstarter

    I backed this as I like Voltron, but there are a lot of red flags. They are not offering EU and other non-US friendly shipping, but when asked they say they do not want to talk about shipping now. Whenever someone comments something critical, they report that comment so that it gets hidden. This...

    Call of Cthulhu’s Latest Features Three Short Sharp Shocks

    I think this is not just this book (without having read it), but CoC releases in general. Even though well written, they include a lot of text. Lately I am looking for things that are quicker to read, easier to run, needing less time to prepare.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Grim Hollow, Conan, Broken Empires, and more

    I find the last stretch-goal the least interesting of all the already achieved and upcoming ones. What I'd like to see achieved is "Shrouded London" and "New Unscenes". Regardless, the game seems to be very interesting, so do some of the alternate settings included: I like Unsinkable and Court...

    Alien RPG 2nd Edition Maps Revealed

    These look extremely generic to me, I don't find them interesting at all. Nor do I find the idea to play with miniatures interesting. If this is an indication, I'm not sure the 2nd edition is going the right way.

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    So much for being a Fan Favorite Publisher. I've never understood why people were voting for them. If you like the product, that not the same as liking the publisher.

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    I don't know where this "fake-news" comes from that there will only be one printing. Why would they invest so much effort into one print run, when they've also said from the beginning that this will be a "living" game with a lot of future releases? The only thing that they've said, is that the...

    RPG Crowdfunding News - Erevan's Guide, Outgunned, Vast Grimm, and more

    I am so excited about Outgunned Adventure. Outgunned "Core" is already great, Adventure will allow you to play these pulp adventures out of the box. It will include (even more) simpler fighting rules, and more focus on things like traps and running away from huge rolling boulders, but those...

    Ravensburger Releasing Disney RPG Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls

    Yes, why girls only? And why not include Frozen? I see a lot of wasted opportunity here. I'm always looking for children's RPGs by the way, this won't be the perfect one probably, but who knows, I will still have a look once we have more infos.

    Multiple "AI Art" Updates and Controversies in Tabletop Gaming

    Even if we don't consider the ethics and legal aspects of this topic, I see a huge quality problem. A lot of the AI art (especially when including people) is simply ugly. I've backed the "The Great Campaign Adventure Book" by Triple Ace Games, and even though they advertised the project as...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Shares Color Covers Of Pathfinder Remaster

    One of the reasons I've never gotten into Pathfinder is the artstyle. For some reason I profoundly dislike those covers and character art. It mostly has to do with those strange looking weapons, anime like long-eared elves and the way the goblins look. The GM Core looks much better than I've...

    Convergence Is An Excellent Introduction To Delta Green

    Alternity had two main settings: one was Star*Drive, the other was Dark•Matter. They also had a StarCraft release and there might have been something else as well, but these two were the main ones. Star*Drive was the science-fiction one and Dark Matter the X-Files clone.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Out-Gunned, Army Men, Devilry, and more

    We've only seen the quickstart, and there are supposed to be a couple of extra rules in the book, but it should be something like this anyway. The game tries to simulate "stereotypical" action movies. In the beginning the stakes are not high, characters usually don't die, but later, at the end...

    Convergence Is An Excellent Introduction To Delta Green

    Dark Matter was actually an Alternity setting, which they watered down into a D20 Modern Setting. The Alternity version was quite good.
