The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
The backer kit mentions Darkmoon Vale, but I don't know Golarion well enough. Possibly the Crown of the Kobold King being adapted?
I really love the PACG, so I might back PFQ. Scratches a similar itch, hopefully.
The epilogue patched in to BG3 was so satisfying compared to the less than adequate initial ending. While Wrath of the Righteous has a pretty good stock ending, I'm pretty excited to see how this turns out.
Interesting! I just picked up a copy of Metamorphosis Alpha 1e and some of the supplements this week and I'm tempted to run it. Great to see it still getting support.
For what it's worth, Chris Clark is listed under "Heroes of the Warden" in the 2020 Doom on the Warden adventure. And he...
Yeah, that's the key. I'm not trying to convince anyone of the glory of Hasbro, just that they do have some talented people there, whatever the corporate overlords are up to.
Karpyshyn was definitely mostly a writer, but he was one of the key writers for BG2 and lead for Mass Effect 1 and 2...
Archetype Entertainment is a fully owned subsidiary of WotC, founded by BioWare veterans James Ohlen and Drew Karpyshyn, of the Baldur's Gate 2 fame. I can't find stats on how big they are, but they have Certain Affinity as co-developer, so that's 250+ people working on their first title. So at...
I'm not as upset by this as I should be... I love BG3, but it didn't really feel like a sequel to BG1 or 2. While I'd love an old school expansion pack, I'd be happy to see a new Neverwinter or Waterdeep or Luscan set game and not try to tie things to the Bhaalspawn saga for marketing reasons...
I'm sad it's not a proper sequel to Tales from the Infinite Staircase, because we can always use more Planescape stuff. However, I was also a fan of Yawning Portal and Saltmarsh, so I'll happily pick this one up.
That was a nice, lengthy and detailed interview. Also quite impressed with Matthew Sprange's candour!
I would love to see more interviews like this with other major players, e.g. Charles Ryan from Monte Cook Games or Wolfgang Baur from Kobold Press.
I'm still hurting from the cancellation of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Congrats to Crossfire/Dragonfire fans, but I need to do some soul searching to decide if I could ever love another Pathfinder card game.
I think the key point is that it's "not for everyone". Having a highly improvisational style of DMing is something that every DM has to decide on for themselves: whether they are comfortable doing it and whether they feel they are making a better game by doing so.
I actually blame Mike Shea...
That would be a really cool idea, even if I doubt they'd do it.
I'd love a big 'Director's Cut' edition of 3e; bring back Johnathan Tweet, Skip Williams, and Monte Cooke to discuss the behind-the-scenes stories and the rationale behind some of the rules. Even the much maligned 4th edition--I'm...
Thanks, I hadn't seen the other thread!
Agreed, Tales had a lot of interesting ideas, but it was also pretty bare bones. I can see reusing the story frame (infinite staircase), but I can't see Tales being the main adventures in the anthology.
While I'm starting to sour on the anthology format, I just finished running Monte Cook's original Tales from the Infinite Staircase so I'm pretty excited to see an at least spiritual successor.
Also, this confirms that Wizards isn't done with Planescape yet, which is very good in my mind.
It's been heavily hinted that the release date for BG3 for Xbox will be announced on December 7th during the Game awards, assuming they don't just stealth release it then. So almost there!
