It seems they cribbed the "Hits on 2+" system from Warhammer, which requires rolling a handful of d6's, so I guess I can see why they went that route.

The Edge of the Empire takes place during the galactic civil war, the Mandalorian takes place in the aftermath of the battle of Endor and the Empire's partial collapse. That time period in SW is ripe for expansion. Given that there hasn't been much* produced during the post-Empire era, it makes...

Oh how naïve I was when I thought that Free League's version of LOTR 5e would bring down the price of Cubicle 7's Adventures in Middle Earth on the secondary market. That's a collection of books that will most likely stay incomplete for me.

To that end, I was a big fan of the Star Wars system FFG produced and one of the great tragedies of the FFG Star Wars RPG is that we never got sourcebooks for the sequel trilogy or any of the Disney+ series. Given how popular the Mandalorian was at it's premier, I thought for sure a tie-in...

As someone whose interest in US history lies more during the time of our Civil War, does a game or setting exist that's similar to Colonial Gothic in that time period? (I've tried the Savage Worlds flavor of Deadlands, and didn't care too much for it.) The secret societies and occult against the...

Why make one disappointing gazetteer when you can make seven? Snark aside, they haven't published anything for Greyhawk (in this current edition) and I can't see just their typical "mini-gazetteer in the beginning of the book" being adequate. Dragonlance fans weren't happy with how much War of...

Chapter 8 turns out to be a re-print of the Gygax75 document

They could use "Kin" to replace "race" and still refer to "humankind" or "elfkind". Matter of fact, I think I just stumbled on to how I'll be referring to characters from now on.

I don't see why they wouldn't be somehow compatible. They're both 5e OGL derivatives.

I backed the kickstarter for Fria Ligan's The One Ring rpg, and the quality of the books and art was staggering. Having been a big fan of Cubicle 7's Adventures in Middle Earth, I will be eagerly awaiting these books. I'm also hoping that the release of these books will help cool off the prices...

No dwarves? okay... :(

Given that their new monster design skews very closely to 4e's design, and that I'm an unashamed 4e fan, I would love to see this happen.

Admittedly, I haven't checked up on news about it in a while, but it seems like desecrating a corpse for Oni Press to produce Free RPG Day content for Rolled & Told after unceremoniously cancelling it a couple years ago. I admit my reaction is a bit strong because I really liked R&T and was...

Can anyone offer advice on how to aim to wrap up a campaign in a set number of sessions?

Wow, can't believe I never realized that!

I'm also one of those easy marks that has the prior two books and am planning on grabbing this set. I hadn't thought of donating the books that I'd have duplicates of. That's a great idea!

Totally agree. When you lift the hood of 5e, you can definitely see the parts of 4e they brought over. Prime example: The AEDU powers system was reworked into the long rest/short rest recharge mechanic. Having 5e be more of an advancement of the concepts that 4e introduced, instead of being a...

As soon as they released the preview during the Wild Beyond the Witchlight livestream event, I immediately recognized the 4e design elements that they're moving towards. As someone who has been a 4e advocate since its release, seeing this shift towards copying that design was supremely vindicating.

I have it, and to be quite honest, it's probably the best screen that has been released for 5e thus far. It is geared more towards dungeon adventures (naturally), but it has much more info and less wasted space than the original or the reincarnated DM screens. I can see switching between the...

Looks like they maybe accidentally copy/pasted their write-up on the Wilderness kit instead of the review for the dungeon kit, since a wilderness kit review was posted on 11/24/20. A simple mix-up, I'm sure.
