I share my thoughts about the core rulebook for the high fantasy roleplaying game Tales of the Valiant from Kobold Press. The Player’s Guide contains all the character creation options, gear, weapons, magic items, spells, and rules to get you playing. The RPG is very 5E Dungeons & Dragons adjacent but is it TOO adjacent? You’ll find out!

SUMMARY

I do like the Player's Guide for Tales of the Valiant and give it a recommendation. Yet, I think this was a real missed opportunity for Kobold Press to make an RPG which stands apart from 5E. In the end this is far, far too similar (or even identical) to D&D to place the game into it's own space rather than simply orbiting the current and future editions of Dungeons & Dragons.
