The 5e addition is a put off, and I have tightly constrained budget right now, so will have to think about it.This looks like it will be Brit-distributed, abd Modiphius is also involved.
But I onky want a 5e version myself, not dual-stat, so let me read more.

Art looks slightly sketchy to me, but more to the point, it's the same problem I had with Legends of Avallen: I want an RPG more grounded in real Celtic mythology, not a pastiche or D&D-ified one. Ideally what I would love is a Mythras 'Mythic Ireland' book, or perhaps a 'Cú Chulainn' RPG along the lines of the recent Beowulf one.This looks like it will be Brit-distributed, abd Modiphius is also involved.

Good observation. I too noticed some negatives in the art and lore previews. It iis too DnD-esque to respective Celtic myths and instead just uses them as a cosplay costume.Art looks slightly sketchy to me, but more to the point, it's the same problem I had with Legends of Avallen: I want an RPG more grounded in real Celtic mythology, not a pastiche or D&D-ified one.

A Third Party created the Diamond Throne Kickstarter pre-pandemic. Is this a new one, FirstAge?
Just backed this after chatting to the author at Tabletop Gaming Live a couple of weeks ago. It has a very interesting resolution mechanic (watch the video as it explains way better than I can) and a lot of extras - including STL files for light-up spaceships and D&D-styled bird men which I loved! Has anyone else come across this?
Sorry - not sure how to post a link without it being pulled up as spam.

While Saril looks interesting it is definitely not on fire.
Free League, maybe consider changing the city to Kharkiv?View attachment 3767
Twilight 2000 Urban Operations has just opened for pre-order. Although I was very ambivalent about the game (although I really like what Fria Ligan have done with it) because of the war in Ukraine, I will get it to table at some point (possibly North Star?). This is an interesting expansion.
