Would a nebula interfere with Jump drive like the 100 diameter limit? Could a nebula light years across have a Jump limit diameter 100s of light years across?
Didn't Jenell herself ask Justin Alexander to change it, or did I get that wrong?
3:08 I tuned out, and, when I came back, I heard “people will tune out during the technical things and then later complain about the technical things”. Big time feel called out. Big time feel it’s deserved lolol
I just wished they had created new NPCs instead of just gender and race swapping most of the existing NPCs. It would have been better to have added a bunch of new characters, especially given all the new great artwork.
Idk man. If you wanna run an investigation, especially horror, use CoC. It blows 5e out of the water. 5e characters are just too sturdy for horror to feel right
I am an official Chaosium reviewer for CoC. We can like multiple games within the same genre!
@RPGImaginings of course. However, just because the handle of a screwdriver can be used to poorly drive nails doesn't mean that you shouldn't simply use a hammer, the tool designed for that job.
I definitely prefer the glossy print to these medium-quality prints
I own all of these.
I definitely read a bunch of Challenge back in the day. I think my all time favorite gaming magazine was Shadis, from AEG. Unlike most (Dragon, White Wolf, White Dwarf, etc.), it never became a corporate ad rag.
This brings back memories. Such a great magazine. I wrote for _Inphobia_ (the *White Wolf* one), but always wanted to get something in _Challenge_ - loved all the games they covered.
need to get an EDC knife comp. to sponsor nest unboxing
You just made my wallet moan in anguish... Thanks I guess.
I noticed you pronounced scenario wrong, nerd.
😂
My FLGS doesn’t participate sadly.
Yeah, that's brutal. Sad to hear it. :(
I walked into my game store yesterday not knowing that today was free RPG day. I came back home with a bunch of 5e DnD stuff, a pathfinder module, a Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure (which I was lucky to snag the last copy of, based on what I've heard afterward), and quick-start rules for several different RPGs.
Success!
This was my first Free RPG day I attended. Came home with Dragonbane, Garbage & Glory and one of those fancy red d20's from dispel dice. Wish I grabbed a few more books
I'm definitely curious about the Avatar RPG. I was a big fan of the animated series, and there's certainly a lot of storytelling potential. If I can get off my butt & transfer them from my phone to the laptop, I'm going to try to upload my Free RPG Day videos this upcoming week. I think I came in just under $100. between the two shops I hit up.
Free RPG Day was amazing and I picked up a bunch of awesome stuff. I also spent over $100 for my daughter and myself. Thank you for sharing the stuff that you picked up. 😊
I was at the Chaosium Con Australia. The books were held up in customs. Feels bad man. I had to order mine online too.
Symbolism, not symbology. :) Great video!
Lol, I am not enamored with bad writing.
I need it so badly!
I ordered mine yesterday… can’t wait to get the physical book!
Yes! Definitely excited to check this out. Love the matte paper pages.
Need fixed energy weapons
Help us understand why.
Aye, it's not on sale yet but "tomorrow" is 40 minutes away
I'm central standard time US, so still six hours away for me. ;P
@RPGImaginings to be fair I may have been wrong as its not on the website yet
I've been waiting for this to come out ever since i got the starter's set.
Same. :)
How did you even get this? I can't even find it on the website.
Brian Holland and MOB have recently set up a very proactive system for reviewers. I have been much more likely to get books in advance of release as a result.
I see it on Chaosium website this afternoon, it was not there yesterday.
I have been looking at Salvage Union (and Lancer) as well these past few weeks as my 2-player group is chomping at the bit for a mech game. However, I cannot shake the feeling this one suffers from a "your character doesn't matter what so ever" problem by ruling everything by a d20 roll and unless you have character special abilities (with limited uses) that's it. No skills, no real base level differentiation present. My gut is telling me to splice Traveller (my all time favourite game) into this to resolve that as best as possible.
The levels of vain self-gratification coming off of this guy are unheard of. I could not imagine having him at my table.
I'd like to meet the person who pinned you down and forced you to watch. And then when you were done watching, forced you to leave an insulting comment. That person needs to be stopped!
Thanks for this, just got my set and was confused why the spines didn’t match like in the mockups. I was thinking I was crazy, appreciate the confirmation 🤙
Yeah, that's part of the reason why I do this. Our tastes are niche and there aren't a lot of Channels (sadly) showcasing a lot of stuff. Thanks for watching!
My favorite Traveller is the original black box, creating the setting based on inspiration from chargen. That said, you've sold me on this. I have been using the Stars Without Number tables for ages now and would like an alternative. Thanks!
nice work. There are many movie making people who should probably read this book........
Right?
Thanks so much for sharing this. I've been on the fence picking this up, because money is tight right now. But it looks well worth the price. Packed with really useful looking game material. And I am planning on kicking off a new campaign in COC. This book looks like it will be a huge help in getting that rolling.
Absolutely love your coverage of Traveller 2E. I bought this as soon as it was available, both because I want to immerse myself in game in greater verisimilitude but also, well…the sheer nerdery of it.
So much nerdery!!!!
This book looks great.
I bought this book a few months ago (just after the physical book came out) and it is a great resource. My only real quibble is related to the shipyard annual output section - I see that as being affected more by the TL (automation) and Efficiency of the system than by the Importance Index; over the past year or so I've been doing a lot of personal research around the shipping industry and bigger ships don't necessarily take longer to build than smaller ships, it depends much more on the complexity of the design - for instance it may only take 6 months to complete a large container ship, but a cruise ship of the same size would take 18 months and an aircraft carrier of that size would take 6-8 years.
This is a perfect example of how to mold an option to meet needs/conception. Your variation makes sense. Well done!
this one rapidly shot up my to buy list to the front pew (and now awaiting it to be shipped to me) once I got the fabulous Rim Expeditions book and once I read that .. I thought to myself I need this book and can really use it. It helped a lot that watching Geir's Mayday 2024 interview video done CyborgPrime and reading his internet posts on the Mongoose forum you can tell this is a dude who has it all together and wired tight. I've started reading the PDF of this and have to say, very well done and will be extremely useful.
Thank you for the detailed further insights! I'm going to ask Mongoose about Rim Expeditions as a natural extension!
@@RPGImaginings actually to me the World Builder's Handbook is the natural extension to Rim Expeditions. That I got because of the Solomani angle, but suppose it also would really come in handy with the Deepnight box set which I haven't got as being a bit more in tune with Charted Space and its races and not as much the great unknown and void outside it. Not yet at least. The area directly rimward of the Solomani Confederation is sort of chock o' block full of undetailed systems just waiting to have this book thrown at them.
@@michaelberry6016 Since you posted Mongoose has sent me a copy of Rim Expeditions to connect them up! :D
@@RPGImaginings awesome. My physical copy of World Builders arrived Saturday. Been reading through that. Facinating book and do think they pair well together. Make sure you give us a review video!!
Got my copy
Got many of the book and enjoyed them. Tried to find people to play and...nothing. Gone from excitement to depression in one week.
Oof, sorry. The biggest community is in Denver, but there are people all over that play Savage Worlds. Once people see how it plays they'll love it.
"...and there was a schism within Judge's Guild where some of the original members said some really racist things online... OH NICE A RIBBON!" Made me laugh. Also, great review.
This quote fully encapsulates the kind of reckless, aggressive, joyful nerdery you will find here. We gotta see the forest for the trees. ;)
I’m reminded of that one time someone tried to do an assassination by putting a rattlesnake in the targets mailbox, and it almost worked in killing them, but the snake didn’t leave the area so they would have been caught.
return to the keep might be good but I wouldn't buy it solely because of the cover art
It seems like you're self-selecting a lot of good content out of your gaming? I mean, do you. I'm pretty sure there is some saying about judging books based on the cover?
Interesting was looking for red moon stuff a while back. Really should read more Glorantha.
Can you explain why you hate Gary Gygax without using the word 'nostalgia'?
He pretty objectively treated a lot of people, especially women, like crap. He was a biological determinist who thought that women were not pre-disposed to gaming. It is well documented that he ran an incredibly sexist workspace in which women were openly degraded. He was certainly intelligent, but intelligence does not absolve someone of how they treat people. He was very clearly a small town, every man, and he acted like it. That is not a compliment. He was not a genius. He acted like a genius. His first attempt at DND was unrefined and incredibly confusing. Other people fixed it. All of the best parts of DND came from Arneson and others. I can keep going if you want. Here's my question back: Can you explain why you LIKE Gygax, knowing that he said and did a bunch of terrible crap? And you can't use YOUR nostalgia as a defense.
We should make playing this game a second priority at GhengisCon. After of course games with Luke.
I have played it with one of the developers, so should look for one of their games.
New camera! Looks like typically awesome RuneQuest. Love that art.
wait, you are not just hands and a voice? jokes aside, great preview as usual. I sadly cant get it for a while, once again. (no money left and currently stuff of another rpg that cant wait cause limited. but plan to get cult books in a bunch again anyways. unless i cant resist heh) okay - absolutely love the cover still. love that it has nysalor. (cant wait for the upcoming illumination rules). the art work, again, makes me just drool. like the moon phases on the side. and yeeesh, they reprinted the red moon maps of the guide here, well done chaosium. (i have the guide, but it just makes sense and great for people not having it). didnt expect such a cult write up for the bat, but guess it makes sense. LOVE it. excuse me, batwings??? i think one my gfs will like this. now i cant wait till we get the official lunar empire sourcebook (and i know, the dragon pass one is even still shrouded in mist) agree with ur end sentiment.
*checks* Nope, it appears as if I am not just hands and a voice. Weird!
When I heard about this book I was hyped, and a little disappointed. Really excited for the book, but I had just wrapped up my Ruinquest Lunar campaign the previous month. My party had insisted on playing as the Lunars, but joined Fazzur's Rebellion as soon as they discovered they owed the Red Emperor taxes.
Classic player behaviour. Taxes? I have enough of that in real life!
I just finally got my hands on Runequest after wanting it for years. 😊
loving it and will buy it. been playing runequest since the mid 80s. starting with the avalon hill editiion. The current edition really defines Runequest
