Yep, based on what was stated in the bullet points in the OP, if you already own the Advanced edition of the Player's tomes you already have most of what will be in the new Player's tome. Changes to 4 classes, a new B/X appendix and some rules fixes will be the difference. The new optional rules...

AD&D 1e It was my 1st TTRPG experience in the early 1980s and I played it frequently for about 5 years. For a good part of that time, I played it at tables hosted by my College's wargamers club and those sessions were enjoyable. We used the 1977 PHB and being my 1st TTRPG I accepted the rules as...

Yes well, talk about a product missing from retail. I don't doubt it's a quality product, because it quickly disappeared from store shelves here. I know of only 1 store in my county that has the WHFRP starter set and they charge about double for it. Not to mention there 500 miles away as the...

. I wonder if they realize that's much less a bonus than it is by modern D&D conventions/standards. There's no Monster Types for monsters in the Advanced Referees Tome, nor is there in Monster Manual 1e, or the B/X Advanced Bestiary. So taking a favored enemy was literally taking a single named...

Fun adventure and setting. I have fond memories of it. :love:

As Overgeek said, there's a number of additions. Races are most significant, as the Advanced Players Tome supports the combination of race+class for PC builds. The core rules are simple and coherent and much better than the AD&D1e PHB, so if those in the know are saying it's B/X, I believe it...

Which edition of the rules contain that? I ask, because that's not stated in the Advanced Player's Tome. If you're referring to the "glory in single combat" clause under Chivalric Code, that's a pointer to the "Single Combat" feature -what you're calling Suicide Geas- that's listed under Combat...

Don't we already have this if you own the Advanced edition of the Player's and Referee's tomes? Of all those bullet points, these are the only 2 I'm really inteteseted in... Although, if you own 3rd Kingdoms quality hex crawl companions, you already have a fair amount of additional content for...

That's a good list. I'd add to it Pulp Cthulhu and 2 of Triple Ace's Daring Tales of... series for Savage Worlds; Daring Tales of Adventure and Daring Tales of the Space Lanes. They also publish a Daring Tales of the Sprawl, but it's more cyberpunk than pulp. I'm a big fan of using SWADE for...

That's good feedback. I checked and those 2 publications alone in PDF format would cost me more than the core book - yikes. I'm going to hold off. The W&G starter set can be found at online retailers in my country for cheap. So, I'm probably going to push the [Buy] button on it and see if the...

The moment I read that Asmodee acquired FFG, I had a gut feeling it was going to end in a cluster-f%$@. It was mostly their FFG and Days of Wonder games that I own. I'm not surprised by the news they witheld the republishing of some TTRPGs and board games. I'd noticed for a while that some of...

"Alphabetize or die!" That was the motto stapled to the shelves of our shared vinyl record and cassette tapes, when I was in college. :LOL: I typically alphabetize, but I'm down to only 4-1/2 ft of shelf space for tabletop books. Which includes my TT miniature books, but they only occupy half...

Well low & behold, today (Monday) new copies of the WHFRP 4e CRB appeared at 2 online stores in my country that I recently browsed. I'm surprised, because it's listed for the same price at both (not common here) and for the lowest I've ever seen it. One of them has it listed as a limited time...

The only way I'd buy into GURPS again, would be if there was also a new Character Set book which had templates that included a pared down skills list of all those appropriate to the genre a character belongs to. I no longer care to cobble my own together from suggested primary, secondary and...

It could be, but I noticed W&G CRB are available at the C7 Store. Good suggestion. I've done that a few times in the past. Although those WH40k CRBs are bigger in page count than anything I've had printed & bound before.
