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. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Psikerlord;1095847Hey all,

For those who might be interested, a quick update on Low Fantasy Gaming Deluxe subsequent to the Jan 2019 Kickstarter.

(1) PDFs (colour and b&w version) are available via DTRPG (everything below is DTRPG - https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/265388/Low-Fantasy-Gaming-Deluxe-Edition )
(2) Hardcovers are available. Softcovers in the works, expected in August.
(3) GM Screen PDF available (free).
(4) Character Sheet (colour, b&w and form fillable PDF) available (free).  
(5) 3 x free starter adventures (free; #13 Gift of the Silent God, #25 Revelry in Northgate and #40 Call of the Colossus).
(6) Midlands Hex Map available (keyed and unkeyed, hex and no hex).

Presently we're at work on Adventure Frameworks Compilation #1 (basically all the post Midlands B&W adventures, about 22 or so, put into a book, waiting on final softcover proof), and an LFG Expansion book (approx 100 new monsters, 40 unique magical items, greatly expanded Downtime rules, and a "mysterious magic" table (a less "dark" but just as dangerous version of the Dark & Dangerous Magic table, for settings which might prefer such). Not sure what else might make it in as yet.

Id love to get the Expansion and Adventure Compilation. I was a backer and just ordered print copies.

How have I never heard of this before? I seems right up my alley. I guess I know what I'm saving for next.
The more clichéd my group plays their characters, the better. I don't want Deep Drama™ and Real Acting™ in the precious few hours away from my family and job. I want cheap thrills, constant action, involved-but-not-super-complex plots, and cheesy but lovable characters.

So you dropped the Cleric from the Core 4 Classes, and replaced it with the Barbarian and Bard?  That's interesting.  

Lion & Dragon has the Scotsmen and Cymri, which are pretty much Barbarians and Bards.
I need you to roll a perception check.....

No, There is the Cultist. Pretty much a Cleric.

Artificer (quirky gadgets,  Steampunk-Engineer- Inventor)
Barbarian
Bard
Cultist (Cleric)
Fighter
Magic-user
Monk
Ranger

Yes in 2016 Original LFG the cleric was removed. The 5 classes were Fighter, Barbarian, Bard, Rogue and Magic User. Some healing spells still remained in the spell list (which was the exclsuvie province of the Magic User).

Later, over the next two years, by the time LFG Deluxe came along, we had added the Ranger, Monk, Artificer and Cultist (as Blood Axe notes). Cultist is pretty close to a cleric, but less spell casting than your average DnD cleric. More like a half caster who must follow their god's tenets or risk Divine Rebuke when invoking their blessings.

So at that point 2 of the 9 classes had access to magic, the other 7 do not.

Now with LFG Companion we have added the Psion (working name!) as class number 10. So there will be 3 magic classes and 7 martial.

Hope that makes sense!
