Pretty much, yep!I wonder if this is the form that Vault 5E has now taken.
Sort of -- they're still releasing Uncharted Journeys but also including probably just the core journey rules in their Gamemaster's Guide, putting them in the strange position of competing with their own product. I'm not sure which way I'm going to go, myself, as I want those rules, but I also want all the other goodies they appear to be importing from AiME.I wonder if this is the form that Vault 5E has now taken.
The Vault series was already underway, as they'd successfully Kickstarted Uncharted Journeys when the OGL poop hit the fan. With what they know now, they seem to be pivoting and putting all of their AiME stuff into these two books. We'll see if sales of Uncharted Journeys endorse the other AiME rule systems getting their own standalone volumes.I wonder how much of this and Kobold Press' Black Flag is directly provoked by the WotC's OGL fiasco, and how much was already 'in the work' before 2023
