Now that I think of it, I might have been looking for aspects to nitpick, just to compensate a little for so much goodness. 😝<br /><br />BTW, if you are the same Erin who was interviewed on the God Learners Podcast, I enjoyed listening to that interview!<br /><br />Runebloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828214323432087292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763008689953373181.post-58956937103081292412022-01-21T18:39:27.812+01:002022-01-21T18:39:27.812+01:00Really detailed review!

Th...Really detailed review! Thanks for sharing it.<br /><br />The set does come with a D20, so the hit location die isn’t really needed. Getting used to using the D20 has the added advantage of easily adjusting hit locations for things that have different hit location values.<br /><br />Your point about not all interesting locations being marked is one I’ve thought about too. There’s a tricky sort of balance to be struck. On the one hand, some folks will want to know precisely where everything is and who everyone is and things start to get carved in stone. On the other hand, flexibility allows other folks more room to treat the setting like a sandbox. There’s room for a gm to manipulate the setting to suit their players/game. <br /><br />Also, the more fixed in place things become, the more rigid some people’s mindsets become. You run into people who say “you can’t do x, because on p. 111 of this publication it says y.” <br /><br />And… to be honest, the more cluttered a map becomes, the harder I find to use it. I say this as someone who often wants to put every tiny detail on a map.

Creo que si no quieres esperar varios años a que salga traducida (si es que llega a salir), yo me compraría la caja en inglés directamente.Runebloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828214323432087292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763008689953373181.post-52356634047855642672022-01-18T20:44:42.261+01:002022-01-18T20:44:42.261+01:00Thanks for leaving a comment! :-) Yes, the amount ...Thanks for leaving a comment! :-) Yes, the amount of content is wonderful and the adventures can be linked to those in the GM Screen Pack with little effort.Runebloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828214323432087292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763008689953373181.post-45552127895042452512022-01-18T12:28:02.889+01:002022-01-18T12:28:02.889+01:00Perdón por el comentario en castellano, pero estab...Perdón por el comentario en castellano, pero estaba pensando en comprarme la de RQ en Glorantha nueva y me da algo de pereza... ¿Crees que es mejor que espere a la inevitable traducción de esta caja de inicio?

I'm not a big fan of starter sets, because I feel I'm buying the same thing twice. But this one doesn't look bad at all! Besides the rules, it has a lot of content. Shame you didn't read the adventures, I would have liked to read your thoughts about them. Regarding the emplacement of the adventures I think it's consistent with the content of the Rule Book and it will be useful for most of the people who likes to play in the default proposed setting.Master Gollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757490700812476505noreply@blogger.com
