ALIEN: Destroyer of Worlds Spoiler for published

Cookie cutter sharks. Siphonophores and their toxins Architeuthis sp. Coral reef cities Wrecks Magic items grown to allow surface species to survive - such as a helm of air Abyssal plains and their dearth of life save at carcases - whales, dragons, megaturtles... Giant turtles... not just the...

FATAL has negative consequences of sexual assaults upon the victim (sometimes gruesomely accurate ones)... that can render the victim a bloody and incapacitated mess... at least according to the tables. Never ran it; the tables turned the stomach well enough. Deathstalker only shows humiliation...

Aside from fights, yes. Once fights were commenced, they were often boolean outcomes, but not always.

Chaosium C&D's pendragon character sheets.

Relatively Light, 2.5/5 : CT (either), T2300/2300AD Moderately crunchy (3.5/5) : MT, MgT1, MgT2, T20, HT Rather crunchy (4/5) : TNE, T4, GT, GTIW, T5 I'd put D&D 5 core triplet only at about 2.5, as well... and about 3.0 with splats. If you stick solely to core, drop half a point (full point...

They decided, unlike Mystara and Birthright, to zipyank Star Frontiers from the fan caretaker site... and monetize the core rules and adventures.

Let me be more clear: it needs a science fiction setting, not yet another space fantasy setting.

Sunday AOU: Killed responsible god; umbra ended.

I already had trust issues with WotC. The OGL debacle was just confirmation of their corporatist agenda. I have to laugh when I read/watch the news about MTG players and shareholders suing WotC/HasBro over devaluing MTG. I saw the writing on the walls with Tasha's, and the revised...
