All these people talking about going to GenCon are making me jealous that I don't live in Cincinnati anymore and have an easy chance to go every year, since I'm now in Europe. Has anyone been/does anyone regularly go to Spiel in Essen, Germany (apparently the largest GenCon-like in Europe/one of the largest in the world)?

Every time I see "this cool fantasy setting that's not just Forgotten Realms but different" all I can think is how much I want to play an Eberron 13th Age game, or an Eberron video game, or really do anything in Eberron that doesn't involve the actual d&d mechanics.

Fake e: I have dogs but no cats, should I post dog pictures

I want more Dark Sun. Dark Sun knockoffs are fine too.

Anyone know anything about the games in the newest Bundle of Holding?

quote:

$8.95:

-Age of Arthur (Wordplay Games, retail price $15): A gritty Arthurian Britain of the Dark Ages, powered by Fate 3rd Edition.
-On Her Majesty's Arcane Service (Better Mousetrap Games, retail $10): Help Doctor John Dee defend the new British Empire from occult threats.
-Outremer (Better Mousetrap, retail $10): An alternate 16th Century where the Crusader States have survived and thrived.
-Timemaster (Goblinoid Games, retail $6): The classic 1980s Pacesetter game of high-impact time-travel adventure. True, Timemaster isn't a "historical" RPG -- but it can connect all the others!

$21.90:

-Pirates & Dragons Core Rulebook (Cakebread & Walton, retail $25): Fantastic swashbuckling in an archipelago of strange beasts and vile necromancers. Includes the Dragon Isles Poster Map (retail $2).
-Maelstrom Domesday (Arion Games, retail $15): A new version of the classic British RPG Maelstrom, set in 11th-Century Anglo-Norman Britain.
-Northern Crown (Atlas): Fantastic D20 System adventures amid the legends and myths of colonial North America. Includes both New World Adventures (retail $15) and the Gazetteer (retail $15).
-Heirs to the Lost World (Obsidian Serpent, retail $10): The mythic New World during the Age of Exploration.

Conceptually I like the idea behind a couple of these (On Her Majesty's Arcane Service sounds like a more occult version of Neil Stephenson's Baroque series and seems interesting), but have no idea if they're poo poo or not.

All of the SSI D&D Gold Box games have been released on gog.com

Is Beamdog going to be remastering Planescape: Torment like they've done so far successfully with BG1/BG2/Icewind Dale? The earliest D&D game I ever played was NWN, but I got sucked into BG1:EE something fierce after getting it really cheap on a Steam holiday sale a couple years ago.

Also they're making a new BG expansion, whatwhatwhat.

Wasn't there a PBP game of Dungeon World or 13th Age or something not long ago that was set in Morrowind? Did that ever become a thing? I vaguely remember reading the recruitment post but it was for a system I don't know at all and :effort:
