    Hellboy RPG

    I would say not. The drawstrings on mine have held up fine, and they take a beating. I guess the buckle is probably a little easier to deal with than tying and untying the strings... but not 20 quid easier IMO.

    Hellboy RPG

    I got one "for free" as part of my Dracula Dossier pledge on KS. I didn't expect to use it much, but it and my Noteboard (https://thenoteboard.com/index.html) have become my two indispensable pieces of gaming kit. I never go to a gaming session without these two, as either a player or GM, and...

    D&D5 chatty thread

    It does make me worry a bit that we'll end up with a bunch of characters that all share the same "unique" background which has the most powerful 3-4 features... I'll reserve judgement until I see the final version though.

    D&D5 chatty thread

    A bit more info here: https://www.inverse.com/gaming/tashas-cauldron-of-everything-release-date-subclasses-lineage-rules Probably the main news is that it'll include Psionics (the first official appearance as a PC option in 5e), and the lineage rules sound pretty cool (replacing race plus...

    D&D 5E Mythic Greek Settings

    I can confirm they all made it in... well, unless some or all were replaced at the last minute by someone else's maps I guess... certainly the book features a location with a map for each god, and the maps look to be in your style. Nice work as always (though I do admit to missing colour maps in...

    D&D 5E Mythic Greek Settings

    it's called Hellenistika apparently, and it seems it will be based on 5e. I am 99% confident that, once released, it will quickly become my favourite: https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/news/trail-of-cthulhu-designer-takes-dd-5e-to-ancient-greece-in-rpg/ As of right now Odyssey of the Dragonlords...

    Hellboy RPG

    I don't normally go there, but I guess I can do my part. :)

    Twilight: 2000 by Fria Ligan

    That hasn't really been my experience. For something that your character is even moderately accomplished with (4+ dice), you're more likely to succeed than fail - much more likely if you push. Certainly for us starting characters felt no more "wiffy" than starting characters in D&D - I suppose...

    Hellboy RPG

    I played in the UKGE session tonight. It was a play through of the QS adventure, using the QS pre-gens, run by one of the developers (Alex... someone?) First up, it was a really fun session, and "felt" a lot like I'd expect a Hellboy game to feel in play (though bear in mind I'm not overly...

    No, I haven't been, but that is good it hear, thanks. :)

    Hellboy RPG

    I am in two minds... both happy I'll be getting it for free, and a little miffed that I now have to wait until after the campaign to pick it up and start reading... :) I guess I'll have to go back and re-read the one I got for free with the boardgame KS...

    Hellboy RPG

    Great, thanks for all the explanation. So you'd recommend chained coffin, wolves, and then start on omnibus vol 1?

    Hellboy RPG

    Yeah, personally I'd love to see something more akin to WotCs mix of dice in their dice sets - 2 x d20s, d% + extra d10, 4 x d6, and one of each other die. It's not perfect, but it'd be a better starting point. Then one of the d20s and the extra d10 could be coloured differently from the rest of...

    Hellboy RPG

    Cool, thanks. I think I did actually read Seed (or parts of it), but didn't really enjoy it super much, which is why I kind of gave up on the comics. I'll check out the two you suggested as a better starting place then.
