Comrade Gorbash posted:The Buck Rogers stuff apparently sold pretty well, the issue there is that TSR (owned by Williams) paid royalties to the rights holder (Williams). That sort of double dipping is pretty sketchy. Where did you hear this from? I've always been under the impression, and I think it's mentioned in Designers and Dragons that the Buck Rogers games didn't do very well at all. I mean, I loved it and I'm working on a full write up of it now but everything I"ve seen said it had lovely sales and tons of left-over stock. The books certainly don't have the collector's market that the other properties do and you can still find unopened/sealed product out there pretty routinely. The first RPG, XXVc got massive support, two video games, a dozen novels, comics, a board game and about a dozen supplements and modules. It all stopped after two years, and the second RPG "high adventure cliffhangers" didn't have a terribly long shelf life. Rhandhali fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Nov 3, 2017 |

Has anyone taken a look at ZWEIHÄNDER? I picked up a copy when it was free over Halloween and haven't really had a chance to look at it, but from skimming it looks like a streamlining or retooling of WFRP2.

Cythereal posted:The book the sword appeared in was set in the modern day, and the sword turning out to have been forged from a radioactive meteorite was the twist behind all the seemingly supernatural events in the book - including strange errors with the expedition's computer systems, caused by stray radiation. That's basically the plot of a book called Riptide by the guy's that wrote Relic. Basically one of those 90s throwaway airport thrillers.

RiotGearEpsilon posted:in that they regurgitate the completely undigested food about 30 minutes later, yeah I think the description in the book is "ashes and gobbets", or something along those lines.

Did they actually nuke the dreamlands? I was interested in cthulhutech until I realized that the dregs of the local gaming community that were mostly into it. And until I started reading it and couldn't take the anime.
