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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
