The Gaming Den

https://i.imgur.com/PGhi9RD.png Known in 1st Edition as Heroes & Villains and in 2nd Edition as Friends of Freedom, 3rd Edition’s title is the most self-explanatory. This chapter details the notable superheroes of the Earth-Prime setting, and given the metaplot development the entries differ by...

https://imgur.com/QNrrPfM.png Secrets of Freedom City Another 2e and 3e addition, this section covers campaign secrets to be defined by the GM and things not known to the general public, with potential “answers” behind several of them. 3rd Edition greatly expands on this section, and also folds Law...

https://imgur.com/Jp54pEU.png Law & Order It is inevitable that superheroes will interact with both sides of the law, so sections on government and law enforcement get some decent entries. Freedom City’s government has an elected mayor and eight city council members who serve four-year terms, w...

Polygon has an interesting article on it, along with a wraparound cover art. Margaret Weis posted the announcement via Twitter. At first expected to be released on July 2021, the new release date is August 2022. There's also an Amazon page for the book, which reveals the overall plot. Looks like it...

So this is a bit of thread necromancy, but there's been an update on the KickStarter where the 5e PDF and Pathfinder conversions have been released to the general public.



Here's a direct link to the 5e book.



And Pathfinder docs.

Now everyone can check out the book for themselves!

The next volume of Unbreakable is out, and this time it uses a variety of rulesets besides 5e!

I don't own it yet, but still figured to let people know.

In regards to this whole thing, some other ex-employees have come out to support several of Price's allegations. Such as Crystal Frasier. And Lissa Guillet. Here are their industry credentials: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Lissa_Guillet https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Crystal_Frasier Jason Buhlma...

Would you be upset if someone else were to convert some character to this system and post it here? Seems fun. EDIT: Hrm, the Alteration sphere doesn't seem to contain a Demon genotype. How am I supposed to have a demon form now? :mad: Blank Form shenanigans? Outsider traits? My guess is that you'd ...

https://i.imgur.com/BrSl9Fj.png Chapter 5: Additional Rules & the Leadership Sphere https://i.imgur.com/b6CbDwS.png I covered the Leadership Sphere out of alphabetical order for a few reasons. First, it is “optional” in the sense that GM permission is required to take it up and above such permi...

Chapter 4: Spheres, Part 4 While I planned to intersperse this and the last post with another character conversion, the current one is taking some time on my part so I decided to release the final part of Chapter 4 early. https://i.imgur.com/6fku8pA.png The Sniper Sphere is the other big ranged com...

Chapter 4: Spheres, Part 3 https://i.imgur.com/qasFKd8.png The Guardian Sphere allows a character to serve a “tank” role by occupying the enemies’ attention. It has three default abilities, with the first automatic and only one of the other two being chosen:* a Delayed Damage Pool where the charact...

That is exactly how I feel. I hope I can convince my 5e group to start using this stuff, it fits my character concepts far better than some multiclassed abomination. Thanks! Always glad to bring a new convert into the flock! This is all really, really awesome but makes for complex character sheets....

Chapter 4: Spheres, Part I Note: I forgot to mention a specific bit of terminology. Those who make use of martial spheres are known as Practitioners, in much the same way that those making use of magic spheres are known as Spherecasters. Unsurprisingly the longest chapter in the book, we’ll cover M...

Also thank you both for finding the quotes. I used one of them for my Spheres review.

Wow, you two acted really fast! Close, but the next best thing to a cigar. I did find the shifting of blame to players/GMs for a feature of the system to be rather useful. Specifically in discussing the history of "fixing Fighters" sourcebooks and homebrew during the 3.X era when reviewing...

This is most likely a thread necro, but in writing my Spheres of Power & Might review I wanted to touch upon the history of "fixing Fighters" for 3.X. As Spheres of Might's original version was published for Pathfinder it was an attempt to address the system's shortcomings. While I'm r...

https://i.imgur.com/OrWsnzy.png Chapter 5: Additional Rules This chapter covers three additions for Spheres-using games: new feats, sidekicks, and wild magic. As we covered that last one in our review of the Universal sphere, we’ll cover just the first two. We have eight new Feats. Five of those ar...
