Great interview. I especially liked this part: The game obviously went past that but I think it could be boiled down to 64 pages, if published with less art, fewer spells, and only the core character-and-combat rules. By the time my son is ready to game, I’d like to have a 64-page “Father-Son” editi...

I worked a bit on the new classes in the office, and I changed my mind about the paladin and the ranger. The core book already recommends sending characters on quests to achieve special abilities. Making this necessary to advance is not only an annoying penalty for the class, but it also makes such...

Downloading my copy now from DrivethruRPG. Good times :D Thanks for the heads up; I grabbed it too. Since it's my day off, I read it through (apart from the spell tables). What an inspirational read! So many new ideas for house rules/my own campaign! Now my mind is aglow with whirling, transient no...

such a large potential market. I'm no expert (unless you count the hotel I stayed at last night) but my guess is that it is harder for a "small press" publisher to offer their product on such a deeply discounted service. Through economies of scale , a big company like Random House or Peng...

While I am assured that the shop ordered it as a preorder, what happens if the order was placed wrong by the distributor (in this case, Lion Rampant)? Will I never see 66.5? :cry: As someone who found out about this rpg after the pre-order deadline, but before the street date... I can sympathize. N...

By the way -- did you mean "Hyborians" or "Hyperborians"? Hyboria is the world of Conan. Hyperboria is one nation in the Conan world plus is used by other authors as the name of their world. People say I have a tendency to ramble on less-than-interesting subjects, so I myself ha...

What work I should read for these authors? For now, I'm trying to read one novel (or collection) per author. -Berc From your list I've only read Lovecraft (everything) and Norton (Quag Keep). I too wanted to start reading these authors listed in "N" without associated titles, so last week...

It's the only way to be sure.

Also, thanks for the heads up re: the three posts need mod approval rule. I didn't know that; didn't see it in the FAQ. Looks like I will soon be free!

I've completed one full set with regular and Zocchi dice finally. I bought them haphazardly because I don't like the feel of precision dice. I just wanted as many inked and rounded red translucent ones as I could get. Luckily I love collecting dice as much as minis, so when I heard about this game, ...

I am really getting interested in this game. Enough to register here and start thinking about how to find local players (haven't played a tabletop RPG since 2E). I like the character sheet examples shown in this thread, but for me it just doesn't feel like old school gaming unless your character is ...
