It is not understandable. They did pre-order with BRP and Rivers of London, why not with Pendragon. And, yes, I think it is "punishment" for the rest of the world to wait until it arrives in AU.... But I think Chaosium is not really interested in the customers opinion....very bad behaviour...

It is a shame to „punish“ the eu, uk and us-customers for Transportproblems. Why not pre-order with pdf like BRP and RIvers as a goodie for to long time we waited??? This would be a great gesture to the audience…

Hi, I have many friends that are interested in a Rivers of London rpg, but they are not so fluent in english. That really holds them back to buy your (as far as I saw) wonderful and cool book.

Most of your games were published in german too by Pegasus. Are there plans to give the german fanbase also a translation for this game? 
 

Greetings from northern Germany,

Lars

I am sorry, but Pegasus only translated CoC. Runequest was translated from Uhrwerk, but the future is unclear with dying tendencies. So, I won’t expect RoL. Or you make an offer, that a german publisher can’t refuse….

We played the submarine-adventure and two or three short adventures. Funny system, some good ideas. Our group was a bit out of comics after the games, so we “travelled” to Startrek. But as a longtime Tintin-Fan I can say it is great.

Looks fantastic, looking forward to it. Will you only work with BRP or maybe also with Mythras?

I believe missile weapons marked "1/5" may only make 1 shot every 5 rounds; "1/2" weapons shoot every other round; etc.

After reading and comparing with the old version I think you are right. Thank you

I plan a 18th century campaign in the style of Lex Occultum. When I read the rules for muskets and old pistols I think they need a modification for reloading. But maybe i only understand it wrong: You can also shot this old weapons every round with a chance of 1/5 or you take the round shown in the Att-column, right? I think this is a not so good compromise. Muskets and all these flintstone-weapons are very slow and should stay so slow. Shooting every round is very powerful and makes it a kind of more 20th century.

The problem with this argument is it assumes a default obligation to buy something - no one has any such obligation, and it is neither poor not childish, nor part of some "cancel culture" to decide not to spend your money on a particular company's products.

I am nearly 90% with you, only one think I do not agree is the fact of making personal decisions to public prompts. When someone makes a personal decision not to buy something it is ok, but when someone - and this happened here - says that TDM didn‘t answer his question and so he won‘t buy anything from them, it becomes public. And his intentions is to bring more people to follow. This is not a personal decision, this is more decry someone. When I have a problem with someone I talk personal to him and won‘t do it public, except he did it (like her). When he/she won‘t answer, I have to accept it and do not try to bring bad reputation over him. Maybe a normality in this times, but unfair. 

With the rest of your post I agree. Maybe the same will happen with a mythic India or other mythic earth books. When this all is released as „fantasy“ the same people will take it as normal, because it is only „fantasy“. At the end we should think about this books as a hobby product made by fans, and no historical or political statements. 

There is a lot of good stuff:

1. RAFM has a lot of Mythos-Monster. 

2. Wargames Foundry has a lot of fantastic Victorian and Edwardian figures.

3. Artizan miniatures is doing great Pulp stuff

4. Croocked Dice made brilliant Pulp with Fishmen and some buildings.

The list is not final, but in the moment I have to think about more. There is a lot of small hobby companies doing single useful models. 

BTW the Petersen-stuff is very hard to get for us in Europe, custom clearance makes it very expansive. 

Ich would like to see a book of unknown mysteries for the gaslight era. There were a lot of white parts in Africa. E.G. the german zoo founder in Hamburg made a expedition to africa at the end of the 19th century to look for Dinosauriers. This showed how far away the people knowledge was from our knowledge, but it is a great source for adventures. And I think there is a lot of local ideas we should collect and bring in a book.

For later times we should collect information about our local mysteries.

I've bought pretty much everything Mythras (with the exception of the Classic Fantasy line) up to now, but until TDM adresses the whole think in some way, I won't be a customer anymore.

I wonder if you as owner of a bookstore got all the stuff for reviews for free. Be honest if never read more nonsense like your post. Blaming the whole publisher and threaten with „I won’t buy“ because they not answered you is a very poor reaction from a member of this new cancel culture (behaving like three years old children). TDM are are great publisher and made a lot of good things. Minimizing their work to one release is very poor. And one person started a personal vendetta against them and in this impersonal times of internet you jump to it. Sorry, very poor. I won’t buy any more translation of you as reaction…

I think it will be another D&D5-Clone. 

A good example is Trudvang Chronicles. A D100-System converted into D20. Dividing by 5 is too simple. I'm afraid.

Ausgezeichnet!

I served as a young enlisted man in the US Army in Germany in the 80's and have fond memories of my time there. I was amazed to see the first editions of Die Schwartze Auge in a German game store in Frankfurt a.M. back then and I bought a copy even though my high school German wasn't up to the task [and StraBedeutsch little better!😁]. Lost it somewhere in my many moves since, but it's still a good memory.

There is a English version of Das schwarze Auge - the dark eye: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3444/Ulisses-Spiele/subcategory/5805_208/The-Dark-Eye

Will I get it as KS-Backer?

Ok, this let me understand it. Not good for me, but understandable. Thanks for your answer

You say the MG RQ2 Stormbringer is compatible? I try to check it.

Hmm. Welcome to Monster Island.... it can be quite grim

Sorry, this is not really grim and dark. The link from Nick Middleton is going to the right direction.

One could adapt this: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/340976/Through-Sunken-Lands-and-Other-Adventures to Mythras?

Wow, thank you, great links.

Being honest i hoped for a new setting a bit more like stormbringer - dark and grim. In the moment Mythras feels a bit like "my little pony" (Take care, it is meant in an ironic way!). So, instead of Luther 2, why not Not-Elric 1????

There are less Rites and they depend on your human race. You need a an Attribut and a derived Attribut to cast the rituals. Only a ritualistic can do the rituals. The number of rituals is very limited, so a ritualist is very limited in his Special ability. Ok, being fair, Openquest is a very light version of a full D100-System. So I will try it, but when it not satisfy our groups wishes I change with the world to Mythras. I think it is simple to convert it. One other thing I miss is the graphics for all the races of the bestiary. Would be great to get them later.

The setting is great, the additions to the Basic mechanism is good, but the magic is - for me - problematic. It feels a bit added, but not wanted. Like plastic in a biological body. I think after some games I need to find a better conversion from Mythras...

 BTW I think the PDF already rectifies some of the typos.

The last update at drivethru is from the July 17th, 2015. So I don't think that there happened a lot of correction.

Moorcock's works were just re-released less than a decade ago by Gollancz, and are still in print. 

The BBC Hawkmoon series will likely spike readers to that novel series and associated Moorcock books. 

I have very little doubt that a new edition of Stormbringer would find an audience among longtime fans as well as newcomers to the character and his amazing universe. 

We will see... when it ever will happen...
