"I always need to find another three different ways to stat the same thing". Psychological Limitation, uncommon, total (15 points).

IIRC, some time ago, Evil Hat announced that they were moving away from FATE and toward PbtA and FitD.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Having read "subscription", I assumed it was a paid one.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know it this is touched upon in the article, but it does seem possible that the licensor wanted something more standard and in-genre. But then again, looking at Evil Hat past products, it is not a surprising take from them, IMO.

+2 to Cha and +1 to two abilities of your choice Darkvision Two extra skills Fey ancestry: advantage on save vs charm and immune to magical sleep. EDIT: Sorry, I misread the post.

The article is beyond a paywall, but I wonder if the licensor was looking for something less political?

I like Heat, but you do have a strong point here.

I often read a post in this thread and I nod vigorously. I'm in full agreement and I snicker at those fools the post is talking about. Then I pause and I wonder if I might be one of those fools.

I wonder if the horse riding comes fact, that during the "classical" Bronze Age (as far as I know), the Greeks did not in general ride horses in battle. Clerics of Poseidon would be an exception because the god is is associated with horses.

It's the opposite, only clerics of Poseidon (among those of the Greek gods) can ride horses. The rest must use chariots. I guess that excludes other beasts that one could ride. I agree that it is a very weird idea (even though it's the Babilonian pantheon, not the Sumerian) . The book states...

I think the idea is that he's just a wyrmling, he can't really tackle the cultists on his own.

Those rules are repeated, almost verbatim, in Unearthed Arcana. The only difference I could spot, is that UA takes into account weapon specialization.

What would you roll for finding tracks? Both bushcraft and hunting would seem appropriate. Hunting is agility based, which is a point against, IMO, but tracking animals is explicitly listed as a hunting roll.

There was no KS, just a pre-order.

If others have trouble with the standard link, I found on DDB forums a direct link to the PDF.

The link does not appear to be currently working.

Aspersion? It was just a little joke about some little-used rules and weapons in AD&D, which, BTW, is a game I love and play.

Exactly! The are two kind of OSR players. Those who know by heart the to-hit adjustment of a fauchard-fork when attacking a target with splint mail and posers.

In recent years, I've really come to appreciate this style of adventure writing. Clear, accessible and to the point.

As mentioned in the UK Games Expo thread, Play in Bologna had 34,000 unique visitors and should be #4 in the listing.
