In some languages, though, a double negative is still a negative. However, there's no language where in a double positive can form a negative.” A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.” 804605523

Reposted by @coral-wave.bsky.socialSemen Tsevelev @tsevelev.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Somewhat more detailed view of #TheCompendium. Artistically, it's very pleasing (these here are the inhabitants of the Grey Fortress). The text is for the most part, but some pages that would've been hard to read were replaced with printed text. Dozens of pages of useful random tables. /1 31820
Reposted by @coral-wave.bsky.socialSemen Tsevelev @tsevelev.bsky.social · 16/12/2024So about the Compendium and how it is different from Cube World modules, besides being a big book and not a PDF. The Inquisitors' Road is one of my fave CW adventures. It's pretty much all text (the way I like it). In the Compendium, however, the NPCs for this adventure are presented like this. 5138

coral-wave.bsky.social @coral-wave.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Realistically, I can only run a single "normal" prepped campaign.

Is any of these possible as a no prep? other better suggestions? 540

coral-wave.bsky.social @coral-wave.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Mausritter is a wonderful contradiction. I feel like it's an unappreciated gem, but I get why. There's an internal clash between the whimsical pitch/ art and the gritty play/ mechanics. The character sheet objects don't travel or keep well between sessions. Still highly recommend it. 391

coral-wave.bsky.social @coral-wave.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Free League has some good games and high production value but IO they're in great need of an editor and layout people.
