Frog Knight does genuinely look marvelous.

I don’t know why Ben Franklin unboxing books popped up in my recommended, but I’m not complaining.

July 🤣 My brain's been perforated too today. Cool book. I wonder if it exists outside of June's giveaway day?!

I think the level of organization displayed here reveals exactly why America gained its much deserved independence.

Happy Independence Day to you, Pookie! Been to cast my ballot too. Not Count Binface unfortunately, but the best option I could in my area. Thanks for showing us the free RPG day stuff. No chance to get to a FLGS this year until three days after - lol - picked up something for £25, turned out it was wrongly priced, paid £45! 🤦‍♂️

I’m not a typical person watching book videos but I hope you find success one day.

Hi

Is wargaming just as niche and unheard of as a hobby in Birmingham as it is across the pond?

Wonderful vid!!!!!!!

Benjamin Franklin was historically, a very creative dungeon master. What you're seeing is live footage released from the Smithsonian of such occurrences.

I will play this in a few days with my crew

❤❤❤❤

Love the magical realism these days 🎉🎉🎉

Just noticed the "Travellers welcome!" on top of the sign... Clever nod!

I really like Modiphius’ careful implementations of their 2D20 system; always a refreshing difference from the dominant market brand’s offer. Really unfortunate that they lost the license. 😔

Please look at the camera, not at yourself, while filming. That way, you will connect more with your audience.

I've noticed that the audio in several recent videos has been a bit muffled... Is it a setting issue? Is there fluff blocking the mic? Is there a cat who isn't yours blocking things?

We really need a good, rules-light wuxia game. There are several games out there, but even the ones claiming they're simple are burdened with too many fiddly rules, options, etc. I'm beginning to think it simply can't be done and in any case, the market is probably too niche. And FWIW Daniel Kwan is a total poser; a banana in the slang of my Chinese wife.

Unfortunate to not have any description or look inside for Arzium - that's the one I was most curious about.

Seems like each retailer has their own rules for how to handle distribution of these items. I've been to some shops that have allowed visitors to take whatever they'd like while others restrict it to ONE item without purchase, TWO with a purchase.

I actually prefer the book form to the boxed set they did for TOR, but I think they wanted a reason to include the extras like the dice, stance cards etc. in the TOR release.

Bilbo is playable in one or two adventures, I think

Nice.

I have the Rocketeer game. My wife & I played it and enjoyed it. Not amazing, but fun.

Thanks Pookie. Might pick this up. Looks like a nice bit of teatime table fun for the family. - - - 03:20 - I remember watching Raiders with my dad back in the '80s and he called the French archaeologist Bollock. LOL - an all too easy slip of the lip for us English types! Thanks for the reminder of lost places, people and the halcyon days of childhood in front of the telly.

Thanks for covering another of our books. BTW: They Syrinscape on this one really captures the John Carpenter feel and is just perfect for this adventure (or any other John Carpenter themed adventure). They did an excellent job with it.

Harry Dean Stanton was Brain A couple of years after Alien and a couple of years before Paris, Texas 😁

Score! That's one I'd like to get my hands on. I'd love to see the Pagan Publishing material reprinted or updated, but I think there's some kind of behind the scenes reason for it not happening.

I love these DCC Lankhmar modules. When I first started with RPGs, I was using Basic Roleplaying and the old City State of the Invincible Warlord map, and was probably reading some Leiber stories at around the same time. So this stuff all reminds me of my early days in the hobby. Now, will I be able to actually get this to my table? We'll see.

I think the art for the box cover of the 1at edition is the best one. It's very lovely. Not a big fan of the cover wrt for other editions, except maybe 5.2 but it pales compared to the first one.

I still have my copy of White Bear Red Moon which rather makes me think of you now playing Dragonpass as youngsters. It was a playable but glorious mess as we all were at the time since we were still wearing flares. Some of us may have been princes of Sartar, none of us were princes of the sartorial.

Very cool, That’s a real find.

How many glamorous assistants did it take to carry that lot home for you?

This was my first "hobby" board game i got as a kid back in the 80s. A great Great casual 'beer n pretzels' style game you can quickly play and the rules only run to a handful of pages.

This looks cool. I've wanted to run a retro-futurist, pseudo-Victorian Era adventure game for a long, long time. I've owned a copy of Space 1889 almost as long as I've been in the hobby. I've never had much luck finding others who were interested, sadly. I guess I haven't really tried since getting back into the hobby in 2019. The closest I've managed to play would be Castle Falkenstein and the original Deadlands. Not really the same thing. I actually just started Moorcock's The Steel Tsar last night. In spite of owning the trilogy for decades, I'd never gotten around to reading it.

Good afternoon, I was wondering the page count of CHAOS RISING, thank-you

Thanks for sharing my game with folks! I drank quite a lot of tea while writing it. :)

This seems interesting. I've been thinking more and more over the last few years that Call of Cthulhu might work better as a one to one game. Certainly it could capture the vibe of the fiction more. I'm not sold on the Gumshoe system, but it's not too difficult to translate the scenarios and such over to Call of Cthulhu. Washington D.C. is definitely a profoundly under represented city. There's so much interesting stuff happening in the city in the 1910s through the 1930s, that would make very rich Mythos gaming material. I've run some Call of Cthulhu set in and around the Georgetown neighborhood (I had to work in the Krazy Kat Club once I found out about it). But the whole city has so much richness. If I had a game book in me, I think I'd write a Secrets of Washington D.C. for Call of Cthulhu. Sadly, I don't think I do have one in me.

That book looks interesting. I'll have to put it on my list.

NERRRRDS

Just discovered this one a couple months back. Finally running it!( I tweaked it into a Delta Green mission).

Coffee and Chaos!

Colostle is very much on my radar. I may be in London for a few days at the end of the year, and may try to track down a copy, as it seems to be a bit of a challenge Stateside. War Stories also looks very interesting. Must write that down.

As you mentioned, I came to the RPG by way of reading some (now all of) the series. I hope the next big book set in America gathers solid commercial support, as I’d like to see this CoC-light setting enjoy a long lifespan. I fear that Aaronovitch’s publisher won’t permit a third party case (adventure) ecosystem license, and in the current era of 3PP, that could be the game’s death sentence.

I got the hardback. Nice review. Also recently, DC Thomson/Commando Comics reprinted Warlord from the 1970s in a collection. Got it 2 months ago, it's on their Facebook pages.

I'm kicking myself for not making more effort to pick up a lot of the Conan stuff. I've got several books, and probably enough to run a game for quite some time. But darn it, these books look cool.

Little known fact. Sadie the Corgi from this adventure is MY Sadie the Corgi. I won a competition and they made her into a miniature and gave her an adventure. I still need to paint the mini...

The books look great and while I don't play 5e, I think the rules are better than TOR, which are way more clunky than they need to be. Sadly, the adventures are pretty boring so I just went back to MERP/Against the Darkmaster.
