I have a question about this. I already own the Pathfinder version of ToOM, and while I buy my fair share of 5E products, I don’t plan to use the underlying system, meaning that I have to adapt any rules stuff. This said, I wonder if the 5E version has enough additional content to justify buying it or if it’s mostly an adaptation of the old book to a new ruleset. The adventures seem to hint at the later, but I’m not sure about the other content.
There is a huge amount of new content, and the prior content has been updated to the new timelines, rules, and with new art.
There are 4 new adventures, and the new book is just over 200 pages while the original PF book was 100 pages. And there’s also the player’s guide too of course.
I’m not sure if that answers your question but hopefully it helps
Yep, that helps immensely thank you. Old Margreve is probably my most favorite part of the setting (yeah, I know Germans and their love of forests ^^), so I certainly won’t say no to new stuff :)
Lots of new content.
Goddamn this book looks amazing. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
For us HeroLab users, will a HeroLab data file be created for the players guide and main adventure (similar to the other Kobold Press data lab files available for purchase at https://www.lonewolfdevel.com/user/addons.asp#game_5e )? Ty!
Just out of curiosity: why is there no actual map of the Margreve in the book? It seems like a common sense kind of thing to have when discussing specific locations. I checked the PFRPg version and that one had a map.
I love the book and new content, just baffled by the (seemingly) obvious omission.
Do the VTT maps work with Roll20? I’m a fairly new Roll20 user and don’t have much experience with porting in maps.
