Hi ! Interesting video; interesting collection ! 🙂 About the film, if I may suggest, it is far better to start it at near 4 minutes, with the Barsoom logo, and let us call it The Queen of Mars. 🙂

Hello, I am Jannat, I hope this message finds you well. I watched your videos Today & analyzed them. You are making great videos but not getting that viewer according to your videos. As an SEO expert, I understand your videos need to be SEO properly Basically, due to not doing SEO, your video does not reach a worldwide audience, so the video does not get views, likes, comments, and subscribers to the channel.

Appreciate the full coverage of this long-standing but less well known RPG. As a kid of the 80s, I recall the first 2300AD with the rosy-hued delight of nostalgia. Much as I like the map, I think I might just get the PDFs and then have them spiral-bound printed at my local copy shop to keep the cost down.

Thank you for taking the time to run through this. I've owned rhe book in PDF for years now, but hadn't the chance to read it yet. It will play a pivotal roll in my sci-fi campaign I'll be running soon.

I'm confused. When you say L5R-5e. That's the 5th edition of L5R, not 5th Edition D&D. Right? I just saw another review that said almost the same thing but it was different meaning.
@djthorsilver
@djthorsilver Ай бұрын
Correct -- this is the fifth edition of L5R, not L5R for D&D 5e 👍 I played D&D 5e extensively and still own it, but don't like it, so I generally avoid 5e conversions for most things.

For anyone having trouble finding the special dice and have Fate dice, just paint in one of the "-" signs in on each die, so that you have a 1 the (-) minus sign, "2" with a different color (-) minus sign, 2 "+" for the special symbols and 2 blanks, so they will match the challenge dice exactly. And you can still use them as Fate dice. The d20s are just normal d20s.

Since 1979 I was addicted to SFB for decades. Back in the early 90s I won a complete (at the time) "Doomsday" set of every module and other stuff at a convention. For some weird reason, I STILL have a huge locker full of about 100 lbs of collected SFB stuff... Unfortunately it's almost impossible to find anyone else anywhere near as rabid as I was who wants to play anymore... I think the major mistake that was made in the Captains Version was essentially making EVERY race pretty much exactly the same. They removed pretty much all the differences that made the game enjoyable and turned it into a "Rules Lawyer" contest. He who could remember the Rules would win any argument.

One of the things I have struggled to find are pdf versions of any of the content for cheapness. Does anyone know where I can find them? Edge studio site doesn’t even seem to have the ability to sell me the physical books
@djthorsilver
@djthorsilver 2 ай бұрын
Sadly this has always been the case with Star Wars RPGs! Making physical RPG products is fine, but Lucasfilm prohibits the distribution of PDFs in most cases (small freebies are OK). Of course they can be found if one knows where to look, but they're scans and therefore quite varying in quality, plus KZbin would probably frown on me sharing any links😅

Thanks for this. Fun set of games. I have been trying to get the Age of Rebellion core rulebook but the tiny Edge reprints mean that even now new copies are on Amazon now for €117 (so £100). Which is more than twice what they were originally. So I guess I missed my chance...should have picked up with the other two core rulebooks before FFG discontinued. [Edit: I see Leisure Games have for £50. Maybe I will suck up the shipping and duty and buy from there. Thanks for the reminder!] I still use the Edge starter set for Meetups. Just a fantastic starter adventure and fun system.

Thanks for watching 😀 Yep, the core book reprints were way too tiny! By the way, dungeonland.co.uk also has the AoR Core for £45.43, if that helps :) The EotE and FaD core books seem to be out of stock everywhere here already, sadly.

Loved the first impressions! Did you have a chance to play it yet? If I wanted to dial the clock back to before the war so I could runs Masks of Nyarlathotep or any other 1920's/1930's campaign do you reckon I'd have too much trouble? Any tips to what I should watch out for? Thanks agains, it was a great video! Subscribed =D
@djthorsilver
@djthorsilver 2 ай бұрын
Sorry for the late reply! I think running this in the 1930s would be reasonable, but dialing it back to the 1920s would take a bit more work. Also it's very much a pulpy, punch-the-Mythos-in-the-face game, but equally you could achieve that with Call of Cthulhu 7e + Pulp Cthulhu + Masks and not have to do all the conversion to 2d20. Personally, as someone running a classic, non-pulpy campaign of Masks right now using Call of Cthulhu 7e, I'd say go with that rather than using A!C 2d20, mainly because Masks is a LOT of work for the GM even when using the system it's built for :) I'm loving every second of it, but converting to 2d20 would probably tip the prep into the 'overwhelming' category for me if I deviated too far from its CoC/BRP roots on top of just keeping track of the 666 pages of campaign + 300 handouts and everything else!

Thanks for this. There's so much great stuff for Mongoose Traveller that budgeting is definitely an issue! As someone who loves physical books for reading, it's good to see that, e.g. the Adventure Class book is mainly tables and maps so I can probably be happy with the PDF, but the Companion is definitely something I'd want in hardcopy. Really useful flip-through - I appreciate it!
