I'll be picking up the PDF, if it hits DTRPG.

Year-Later Update: the book is apparently in a near-final state. They're still doing the last edit/art pass. Also: they have apparently been doing a development podcast for quite a while. Latest episode is on some of the subclasses.

I'll always be more of a Book Darts man. Adhesive on my $50+ core book? No, thank you. I'm also limiting how much of my cash goes to Wizards, after everything.

Yeah, "Iconic" NPCs are the obvious use for these. That, or a PC that REALLY wears their inspiration om their sleeve (I'm really tempted to build a Wyll/Halsin/Karlach knockoff, myself).

Huh, neat. I've heard good thing about ElfQuest but never got around to it. Nice to see another Fantasy game using BRP, even if it's using an edition older than I am. How DOES older BRP play, compared to CoC 7E?

Only if you share a glass with your players in their character's honor.

The obvious options for HP are either "students pre-dating Potter & Co. dealing with lower stakes threats" (see: Hogwarts Legacy and Mystery) or "adult wizards stopping major threats" (see: Fantastic Beasts). So Kids on Brooms or Rivers of London.

Nice! I still need to actually get the new Core Books.

I would hope that kind of release is a update for current owners of the old books... but since the ore rules books are fully new releases...

I was theorizing on Failbetter's own forums years ago that Fate Accelerated might be a decent system for FL. My main argument being that FL the browser game basically runs on Approaches, already (Shadowy, Watchful, Dangerous, and Persuasive, specifically). Come up with a big "The Adjective...

It's definitely going for a Control vibe, just if the Federal Bureau of Control was a corporate NGO instead.

My criteria tends to be based on how much additional material is tacked onto the system's core math (read: usually "XdX + Bonuses = Target"). If it's mostly JUST the core math and the barest setting/customization, that's an ultralight game (24XX). If it's got an actual list of skills and...
