medum rare or charcoal 'Pittsburgh' been getting lots of venison lately so medium rare, quick fry

I participated in a oneshot 'rail wars' game where I was inspired by the song Sixteen Tons to create "Old Mama Line" -an old rusted train golem, an original track layer who lies hidden half forgotten in the canebreak of the scrapeyards. Noone goes there, she's tough, dangerous and full of...

which does raise the point of - just what is and isnt geek culture, and does it differ between differing communities? Black Geek culture in particular is relevant here as the likes of Biz Markie, Fresh Prince Will Smith, De la Soul and more recently Childish Gambino made the stand of reclaiming...

Homer - it was the Greek/Roman myths that first sparked my interest in Fantasy The Brothers Grimm - their collection of storys is the true wisdom literature of Western Civilisation Edgar Rice Burrows - Tarzan got me in to Pulps Danny Kaye - first actor of whom I was a childhood fan, sparked my...

yeah I assumed they want to get a feel of the Mystara World not a new rules set the OP explicitly says that the only Mystara product they have is 2nd Ed. AD&D Monstrous Compendium - which leads me to believe they do not want to do the full BX/BECMI dive.

I'd take inspiration from the Batman villain, give it a 20ft Spore Cloud attack (DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened), the ability to Disappear into fog, becoming heavily obscured and moving freely (no opportunity attacks), and a nightmare image illusion causing psychic damage oh and a...

a man named Pukunui should know Pukeko in a Punga Tree! Mele Kalikimaka was once kinda popular (though Bing and the Andrew Sisters are a bit dated now ) Aotearoa New Zealand Christmas in New Zealand - "the time is right for barbecues and swimming across the bay" country singer Dennis Marsh...

Not even that. I think they should broaden Backgrounds and have all Backgrounds grant a Lore Skill and a Professional (Technique) Skill. So if someone has Horse Breeder Background that automatically get the Lore (Nature) and Profession (Animal Handling) if they're a Healer they get Healing...

Croatians are Slavic living in the Balkan Peninsula and indeed had a Byzantine ruling class = so Dubrovnik fits well But yeah Ylaruam was mostly Arabic, but Turko-Persian makes a better geographic fit

The Vaults of Pandius has an adventure where you get to Save Aleena (you get her resurrected) and Castle Mistamere allows you to track Bargle down for revenge or justice. The thing I always loved about Karameikos was that it had a strong Eastern European (Slavic/Balkan) feel to its culture...
