Thanks. I just did the thing. I've been waiting for this for years. I got to see the prototype first hand. Mr. Welch was so proud he met with a total stranger at the LGS just to show it off. There's a lot to be proud of here. The best third party product I've seen. Hope we get more.
I loved how AD&D2e had a butt ton of supplement books for just about every aspect of the game. Wanna be a better fighter or wizard? There's a book for that, wanna build a seller Dwarven bavkstory? There's a book foot that, wanna build a castle? You guessed it, there was a book for that! Miss those days!
Thank you so much for this!. I have mine coppied at Office Depot. LuLu is clearly better and cheaper. Don't do what I did unless you want the book that day. I have donated to Glenn and will donate again after I get a good coppy from LuLu.
Nice :-) You can revise the project. You just have to scroll down further. I have done a lot of projects with PDFs I have lawfully purchased and otherwise obtained somehow. It is a learning curve of trial and error. It took me awhile to realize that the error message was just a warning. As long as you have a check mark you are good to go.
There is a LOT to love about this book but I still think BECMI has options 5e does not. Choice stuff like Armor Value vs Armor Class. Full Weapon Mastery up to Grandmaster, and stuff like Riding Checks not attack rolls after you learn Mounted combat in Ylarum or Enthengar.
And I ABSOLUTELY recommend this for 5e. I just know there is a lot fleshed out in BECMI that is not so fleshed out in 5e. Like the guidance for the schools in Glantri.
It would be interesting to get your reaction to actually using the book. Maybe making a couple characters. I know you said you didn't plan to make more videos, but if you get bored sometime...
There is but one thing I would love to see: This world converted to some other systems, especially either TDE (German DSA) or Ilaris (a German fan-made system). Mystara has so much to offer but IMO suffers a bit due to the D&D rules and concepts.
I've done this over and over - I can't get it to review book... I did just set another book and it worked with a different book. FRUSTRATING! Will keep trying though.
Right off the bat that books cover looks WOKE , just look at the female warrior . So diverse and progressive. The other book this guy wrote was shit , just sayin
The female on the cover is Morgan Ironwolf, from the Moldvay Basic D&D book. The cover is paying homage to the original illustration of her as an icon from the early days.
Not sure it's a good joke, but it's funny nonetheless. Of course, back in the earlier days of fantasy fiction women had no representation whatsoever ;) Jirel of Joiry was there way before I started reading, and a particular favourite of my teens were Frostflower and Thorn whose adventures I discovered around the same time I found Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. Nothing's new, but great characters and their stories will always transcend time and trends. Good-on Glenn for his attitude towards both sides of this nonsensical debate… and thanks for showing us your beautiful copy of the book RPGski!
Thank you for the review and showing others how to print one.
This shows the love Mystara still holds over people.

Some of the backgrounds charts use 5t font. All art was 300 dpi standard. I don't know why you would get an error message on that
I got that error message as well

Thanks. I just ordered a copy. This video was helpful.

The cover is pretty badass.

wow that looks great

Character creation is already in the works. Stay tuned.
Thank you for this
I have a question how long did it take for the book to come in the mail from when you ordered it? Just curious.
About 2 weeks
@@rpgski2229 Thanks.

This is going be a little harder than I thought
How so?
@@rpgski2229 because it involves Computers and I,m kinda retarded Literary but I do want that book so I will try

Never Mind! It worked!
Maybe turn off Predictive Text before uploading to TH-cam?
Where is your sense of adventure?

You're joking right?

I am more bothered by the person in the bottom center having a buckle in the middle of the back.
You’re a tool.
This is best 5e book ever way better than W.o.t.C
