I am keen to hear more. I am fine with D&D 5e in general but find most adaptations of it to be lacking. Ruins of Symbaroum seems to do more than most though and looks promising.The kickstarter materials for Ruin of Symbaroum for 5E just came in. GM's Guide, Player's Guide, Beastiary, art/map pack, and GM scree + adventure. Looks great, as always from Free League.
I am a big fan of the setting and art, but when running Symbaroum there just wasn't a way around the players rapidly becoming demigods, and that was with using the GM's suggestions to curtail it. I'll be interested to see how it runs with D&D 5e. It has races/character classes from Symbaroum so that might take some convincing for players who have only played D&D 5E.
My Doris Wishman and Sylvia Kristel bluray sets arrived. Yes I am a pervert, thanks.

OpenQuest is a great version of BRP - I tend to think of it as 'Mythras-Lite'.My copy of OpenQuest 3rd edition and the OQ 3 companion finally arrived yesterday.

I've always had a fondness for D100 games in the vein of Mythras Runequest, Legend and BRP. I do like this version for combining IMHO the best aspects of Legend: the simplified skill and resistance mechanics, with the generalized HP of Basic Roleplaying.
I hope I get to play it someday.

Very adaptable framework and less crunch than Mythras
QpenQuest really deserves much more exposure than it currently has.
A nice scifi version of OQ is River of Heaven. The two page character sheet is excellent and I've modified it for a number of other settings/adventures. There is also a companion book, To The Stars! which includes more setting detail, rules, and adventures.

I'm hoping this is the game for running Q: The Winged Serpent.
WANT!
Fun fact: I think there are some collectors that collect books with misprints.Of course, now that I've shown it off, I'm going to be demanding a refund as soon as DTRPG comes back online.
Nothing wrong with the contents of the book, but it's badly misprinted.
Nobby-W we summon your printing experience and sacrifice a functioning memory expansion board from a 386.When I’ve had misprints, DTRPG never asked for the original, but I think I had to provide pictures if memory serves. The misprints I’ve had are: duplicate page ranges and upside down to cover.
I can at least accept how a book gets bound upside down. No clue how repeat section happens, repeat pages x to x+20, and miss pages X+21 to X+40.
Yes, DriveThru has always been good about dealing with misprints in my experience. The defective copies go on my "giveaway" pile.When I’ve had misprints, DTRPG never asked for the original, but I think I had to provide pictures if memory serves.

Well I try to match the sacrifice to the request. As I expect you matched the response to the sacrifice. Happiness abounds!Is that the best you could do? Alright then.
Something screwing up in the collation - the wrong impression got bound in the wrong place. Essentially, the wrong block of 20 pages got printed, or it got mixed up somewhere in the finishing. As to how it happened, could be a variety of reasons.
I have a LBB2 with a similar printing error somewhere.

My personal best is a doorstop big hardcover book with an entirely different large book, from an entirely different publisher, included between the front cover and the beginning of the book I ordered. End result was thicker than, say, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook.When I’ve had misprints, DTRPG never asked for the original, but I think I had to provide pictures if memory serves.

Two for the price of one?My personal best is a doorstop big hardcover book with an entirely different large book, from an entirely different publisher, included between the front cover and the beginning of the book I ordered.

Not really... it was an ACKS book inside a third-party Pathfinder supplement. And it was one I already owned.Two for the price of one?
More likely a cover with something else entirely bound inside.Meanshile there's some unfortunate who ordered an ACKS book and is now scratching their head because they received an empty cover with no pages inside.
Now that you mention it, yes...
