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.

Random question about LoO: how much does it break down and detail the rules compared to ADRP?
Battle doesn\'t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don\'t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don\'t ask why I fight.

Its hard to give some kind of measurement; it definitely gives more structure and detail.  I think that it hits a sweet spot of structure without becoming exceedingly technical or restrictive, but of course some Amber fans might look at LoO and say it doesn't go far enough, or goes too far.

Quote from: noman;754445I want to support Pundit and Rite for recreating Wujcik's system.  For me, it's not just a matter of if it's cool, if I'll use it, or whatever.  It's an obligation.  Wujcik is gone.  There is never going to be a continuation of the ADRP line.  No other supplements.  No Rebma rulebook.  Nothing.  All we can do is fill in the blanks ourselves as GMs, trying feebly to patch the holes left in Zelazny's world.  LoG&S and LoO are carrying a torch forward that was first lit and carried by Wujcik himself before he left us.  Now, others have picked that torch up and are trying to carry it further.  Considering the years of enjoyment I've gotten from ADRP, the least I can do is support its successors.

I totally agree.

The souls of dusk rising from the ashes
So the book of shadows tell
The weak will always obey the master"

That was absolutely my core goal: to revive Wujcik's legacy.  Now with both of these games we've got people talking about and playing diceless games again, including Amber.

I forgot to do an update about it, but this is now available for preorder.

The Lords of Gossamer & Shadow Icon Deck.

There are 5 previews of the artwork there, and a total of 52 cards.

I have been really impressed with the high quality of these premium US poker cards with a UV coating, they are just too cool :)
