Tales of the Lost Lands is a book with six adventures set in Eriador in it. As far as I can tell they are all new and there is no old content in that book. I think where the confusion comes in is that the latter part of this announcement mentions a second sourcebook for 5e that is an update...

I don’t believe they ever released a sourcebook for Eriador for first edition. As far as I am aware, it is all new content.

I pre-ordered months ago and received my hard copy in the post earlier this week. I have yet to read much of it, but it is by far the most beautiful roleplaying sourcebook I have ever had the joy to come across.

That is really interesting, thank you! Why have you separated out Free League and Fria Ligan? They are the same company, with the same name - just in two different languages!

I like the sound of this, but how accessible is it to someone new to the Warhammer 40K universe? Is any background in the setting needed, or is it entirely self contained?

I had something similar. With me it turned out the issue was that I had somehow logged out - even though I have never had to log myself back in on this device before!

Apologies. I am happy to go back and delete the comment.

EDIT: [Example using Nazis deleted] EDIT: and in a feeble attempt to make this relevant to the thread, I think some of the current anti-vax sentiment may well have its root in mistrust of government and authority - which is also something that can be traced to earlier roots.

But where did those politics come from? I think the points made in the book are still relevant today, as current politics seems to be amplifying philosophical viewpoints that were already deeply baked in 100 years and more ago. Eg, many modern views around gun ownership seem to be an evolution...

Pulitzer-prize winning historian David Hackett-Fischer wrote a wonderful book called “Fairness and Freedom” about how differences in the way New Zealand and the US were settled led to very different ethical outlooks. One of the central theses is that everyone regards both fairness and freedom as...

I am facing a similar dilemma to that lady today. My 6-year old daughter has had a bad cough for about a week. She is otherwise fine, and was scheduled to start her first day of school holiday care today. She is super excited about it, and burst into tears when I told her she may not be able...

Heart is a great game and, like everything Rook Rowan and Decard have produced, is beautifully written and chock full of inspiration. Vaesen and Brancalonia are also worthy winners. I ended up with a bookshelf full of winners this year!

As I understood the reporting around this, the benefit in terms of “preventing infection” drops after six months (with Pfizer 95% effectiveness drops to 80%), but the benefit in terms of “preventing serious illness” is still there. In other words, after six months you do risk getting Covid, but...

Law is an obvious one. In the past firms needed a huge collection of junior lawyers to search through case law possibly relevant to a case and contained in thick paper volumes stored on shelf after shelf. Now they need one senior lawyer and an online subscription to Lexis Nexis.

Just. No. Let‘s get back to the pandemic. Cases here are still on the rise, and Delta is going to be a real test for the ability of lockdowns and masking to eliminate Covid again. I am still feeling optimistic, but some of the spread we have already seen here (people standing in a hallway when...

I don’t know what you want me to say here. The goalposts keep moving. You said we elect a dictator every 3 years in New Zealand. I pointed out that this is not in any way true. Now you are talking about the powers held by a majority government (very rare under an MMP voting system) passing any...

Again, none of that is true. Yes, the Health Act delegates a lot of power - to a Medical Officer of Health in very limited circumstances. The PM has no special powers. And, speaking as somebody who has actually been an officer given powers under the Health Act, while those powers are...

No. Not if those laws might result in a breach of the Bill of Rights, or the requirements of an international treaty to which we are a signee, or if there were even a couple of backbench MPs in the party who chose to vote against. Sorry for the derail, but it seriously annoys me when people...

But that is all not true, and not at all how Parliament works. I am currently writing a Cabinet paper at work. That will go to the relevant Minister who is likely to ask questions and for different options to be considered. When the Minister agrees, he/she will take it to Cabinet. Cabinet...

But she has that “death grip” because she is popular and making popular decisions. If her polling were to drop, then the party can dump her and she could do nothing about it. Her “power” is a phantom thing, that really is nothing more than Cabinet and the party choosing to stand behind her...
