    D&D General The thread where I review a ton of Ravenloft modules

    Marvels Conan features fights against a Vampire (of Nosferatu lineage), he stabs it with a spear to no avail but eventually recalls that they can be killed by a wooden stake through the heart defeated so he breaks the spear haft and forces that through the vampires chest. Marvel also gives us...

    D&D General Tell me about your crime campaigns.

    I took the idea of Pratchetts "Dodger' and started the PCs as street urchins who are part of Fagins gang of pickpockets. They get involved in thwarting an abduction which earns the attention of the Squire, a special agent of the crown, who recruits them to do a heist that gets them involved in...

    How happy are you with your regular ruleset?

    BIFTs should have been used like Aspects to define how a characters ideals and bonds might affect the world, then it could have been linked to inspiration as a means to gain advantage when invoking things that character cares about

    How happy are you with your regular ruleset?

    I much prefer the easy customizability of FATE, especially Accelerated where approaches can express a characters personality while doing things (how they act), and because everything is aspects characters get to interact with scenes in creative ways, building their own advantage v a challenge. I...

    D&D 5E The Magical Martial

    This confuses me The Punishers relentless violence is certainly extraordinary and both Frank and Lobo can be modelled by the same classes. The difference is that Lobo isnt human, he's an alien with super strength, durability and regeneration - those are natural traits of his Ancestry/race.

    D&D 5E The Magical Martial

    And of course most other people will accept that when the introduction blurbs in the book refer to “heroic characters who explore fantasy worlds together” it means that the characters are “Heroic, Fantasy humans” not mundane earth humans

    D&D General Effect of Druids on Scientific Knowledge in your Campaign?

    You know the fundamental flaw in this question is thinking that a an animal knows what class or phylum it belongs to for instance Mako sharks are livebearers - so give birth to fully formed young, just like dolphins do. Would a Mako shark be able to tell a Druid that its a cartilaginous fish...

    How happy are you with your regular ruleset?

    FATE Accelerated is a satisfying experience Contrast with the unsatisfying experience of DnD 5e

    Ship ownership for profit

    I once had a pair of PCs sent to a distant city to set up a trading house sponsored by The 500 Lords of the Vaniyaga a network of 'Heroic Traders' Merchant-Devotees operating across the coastal ports of the Mahasegara (Indian Ocean) from Africa to Mahapajit (Indonesia) and beyond. The Vaniyaga...

    D&D General Effect of Druids on Scientific Knowledge in your Campaign?

    whales were classified as fish because they lived in the sea, so were beavers, equally bats fly so they are birds. Having mammaries wasnt the determining factor of being a mammal or not. I do however think that Oozes gives an insight in to germ theory (tiny little oozes in the phlegm), of...

    That's a cool take on giants. Nice

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    So what's your opinion of AI art? This is the same thing really, it's copying an existing work (the back pose figure) and reconfiguring it to a new form. The original artist should still be acknowledged even if his original art was sold

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Well that explains the fabulous boots Personally I thought it was the same Adventurer in the intro adventure, maybe somewhat later in his career

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    No, because of the character defeating hordes and commanding troops is part of the martial fantasy, that 5e isnt currently supporting

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    Except you have the 3.5e Marshal too and various mass combat mechanics for PC commanders - which is what the Warlord is, the martial commander archetype done with mechanical effect sans magic. It's a great concept if 5e can get pass the extraordinary =spells snag
