Quote from: RPGPundit on May 07, 2024, 06:42:15 AMYikes. Obviously, some of the items that were equally applicable to both settings were cut/paste, and I thought I'd caught most setting references, but obviously some have slipped through. It doesn't help that apparently DTPRG published an earlier edit of the game rather than the later one that was submitted afterward.

Purtoks are obviously Chaotic.

It's high time I pick up this game.

I recognize you're not the publisher, but do you know if the correct file is loaded and, more importantly, being used for print copies?

Thanks,
Matt

I don't know for sure, you should check with Mad Scribe

I love Lion & Dragon, but this "looks" more like a "modern" high-quality RPG.

Thank you! Probably the difference is that L&D is a more old school OSR style book, and probably has more of the old feel because it's in Black & White.

So far, I am in love with this game. The setting is captured excellently throughout without adding complexity. Digesting the setting enough for me to comfortable enough to run it will take some time, but I look forward to the work.

Five star rating left on DTRPG with a full review coming after I've played it a few times.

Thank you very much!

Seriously, you've done a great job capturing the setting throughout. For example, archer is its own class. Why is this important? Well, here's a quote from my family history:

"..signed up as a mercenary in either Italy or Spain fighting with swords and bows and arrows."

Baptism of Fire is not stereotyping all Polish warriors as anachronistic hussars. Archers are an authentic detail and the book is chock-full of similar examples.

This is going to be a great game to play.

Thank you again!

Hi. Just found my way to this forum. I've come to the OSR from Warhammer. I love the Old World setting and the ordinary, even low life professions you get to play, but the system is so complex it makes me fatigued.

Baptism of Fire: Found it whilst looking at Lion & Dragon. I love the way rpgpundit has been helping us to enrich our medieval RPG's with more historical content (E.g Dark Albion). I think it really grounds the game and makes it a lot more atmospheric and immersive. It means the group acclimatise to the mundane world and then Argh!!! the monster/ beast/ fey entity appears and its way more exciting and disturbing.

I'm trying to decide between the standard colour and premium editions. Is there anywhere i can see or read about the difference - because it's a large price increment. i've searched and not found anything to help me choose. Love to see some pics or videos.

I don't have pics or videos handy, but I could tell you that the premium color has a higher quality of paper, and it has "more intense" colors. That latter part will probably depend a lot on just how much attention you give to art as a rule. I've got author copies of both, and to me the difference in 'color intensity' is actually pretty small, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. But apparently people view color differently, and some people have claimed it's worth it.

Thanks.

I love the AI Art disclaimer on the product description. It's on point.

The art selection was entirely Mad Scribe's decision, but I think it turned out amazing. Certainly looks better than the crap art we're seeing from the OneDnD Player's Handbook.
