This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

Colonial Gothic is not Flames of Freedom

Quote from: RI2 on May 31, 2024, 11:52:29 AMI think the subject line is clear.

I tend not to post but I felt like it was time. The reason is Colonial Gothic has launched its Kickstarter today, and I wanted to get this out of the way.

This new edition keeps the flavor and style of what has come before. What does that mean? Nothing found in that game is found in Colonial Gothic. Yes, some world background is there, but it is not even close to what you find in Colonial Gothic 4E.

Knowing this place, I am sure you will have questions and comments. So ask away. Note that there are some things I cannot talk about.

I just think it was a travesty that a garbage human grifter took your product and made it into a direct opposite of everything it stood for.

Guys, having heard the whole story about what happened to Richard, I can assure you that there's no reason to think that Colonial Gothic will have any of the disgusting woke pandering that the "powered by zweihander" stuff did.

Was this on one of your livestreams?

I told him everything via private email. For reasons, I don't want to disclose. I don't wanna talk about it publicly.


As is your right, but can't blame me for feeling a little sting of curiosity regarding the human waste that made Zweihander.

If we ever meet in person, I'll tell you everything.

The real story.
Not the cover story "they" put out.

Jamestown is nothing. Roanoke is the great cover-up and what happened there...

Richard it seems like I'm not alone in digging the pre revolution period. We need that suppliment!

It is on my to-do list. I have always wanted to cover this period. The closest I have come is what is found in Colonial Gothic Settings and The Journey to Norumbega.

I will tackle the topic.

The to-do list might be long, but the four books on them are in various stages of completion. I had a lot of material I cut from 4E's manuscript.

Pickled tink over this news!  Thanks for the hard work, Sir!
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

While you're here, could you sort out the various Shadow, Sword and Spell offerings?  There's a bundle with basic and expert books.  There are also player and Gamemaster book.  There's also a 2nd edition that seems to be all in one.  Which books do I need to get the current version of the rules?

Get 2nd edition, that is all you will need, rules-wise. GM and Player are optional rules and other ideas that can be added to the game. Basically, a lot of options if you want to tweak the game further.
