I think it's intended to extend the beginner box.

Google and the UK Ordinance Survey both have really good online maps. Last time I used the OS maps for a campaign, topographical map presentation was free, and 3d view was absent; both are now behind a paywall. I discovered that Bing has a good bit of maps, too, but I avoid recommending...

Humorous Sci-Fi: Star Riders (Ianus Games) same system, and sequel to, Teenagers From Outer Space (R Talsorian). very simplified version of Interlock (RTG, best known for being the core mechanics of Cyperpunk 2013, CP 2020, CP v3, CP Red, and one version of Usagi Yojimbō.) Simple military sci...

THere's not much history about the druids at all... and it's almost all from dubious sources at least a few hundred years after the last known druids & bards. (noting that the bards were roughly equivalent to journeyman druids.) And it was largely written by cultures hostile to their memories...

I write "AI:, i read it as "Artificial Intelligence." :whistle:

Mallory's Le Morte d'Artur is technically an early Renaissance work (14-something), and is where about 75% of modern Arthuriana tropes arise. . Nennius Historia Brittonum and the Vulgate Cycle are earlier than Mallory, and about 10% of the arthurian tropes; much of Mallory's tropeset builds on...

Rules Cyclopedia/BECMI. No muss, no fuss, just sensless hoarding and threat.

Wed Star Trek An AI ultimatum Met.

Like the AD&D Era Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, and Kenzer's Kingdoms of Kalamar all have open enough maps to be repurposed, as well.

I didn't have that option, seeing as I was the GM and host... He stormed off in a huff when the other PCs caught him mid-strike attempting to assassinate the dark-elf PC... via casting hold person. When the baron (a PC) witnesses the attempted murder, they Banished him. The other chance? He ①...

Sun Tales from the Loop Session 0 & vicious wildlife.

There's an Atlas of Middle Earth, which isn't gamer oriented, but can easily be used for gaming. There's also an Atlas of Pern. I don't have it... but I've seen it, and it's comparable to the Atlas of Middle Earth in scope and details Thorsten Renk has a bit of an atlas of Darkover going...

Not reading the special abilities closely when stocking a dungeon. Allowing certain jerk players a second chance.

For a whole line, The One Ring 1e from Cubicle 7. The common style amongst the illustrators was key; Jon Hodgson's art setting the style used through most. Paintings, not renders. For an individual work, that's much harder. Star Trek Adventures Core Rulebook, The Traveller Book, and Talisman...

My "Other" is SJG's webstore: Warehouse 23 I used Hyperbooks online back in the 90's... but it's been gone for a decade plus. I got a few things from Precis Intermedia back when it was "Politically Incorrect Games"; still PIGames.net I've gotten a few items from Paizo - the public betas.

THinking about just the roughly 10 campaign years of FFG SW games I'v run... about 40 players across that time frame. I've had 1 who was unable to grasp the dice mechanics. He died two years later of an astrocytoma. He was probably already suffering from it. I've had 3 who grasped it but didn't...

For some systems, it's not. But those involve playstyles that many don't grasp, let alone use. For example, Houses of the Blooded or Blood & Honor, by John Wick... both the same system. Prep by the GM is almost always wasted in this engine... because anything at all the player agency is so high...

I've never really found artwork essential; at least not in the current methods. Traveller's The Traveller Book is just about perfect in terms of art as inspiration; I'd have liked more color, but at least some is red and black ink rather than just black ink For me, unless it's tied to what's in...

One which, unlike D&D OE, AD&D, AD&D2, BX, BECMI, D&D Rules Cyclopedia, D&D 3e, D&D 5e, and presumably D&D 4E, is unforgivingly deadly. Rests are vital, but note the prohibitions on repeats... Warn players about dump-statting Con - it's not just a bad idea, it's a near guarantee of short lived...

The current one does same. So did 2nd ed. The adventure is 8pp, with a 4pp handout. The PDF and later print runs included a 1 page errata sheet. "some charts"... The 2 page player charts handout The 2 page price list The 8 page Ref's charts The 11 page equipment guide. Note that the charts...
