In space combat, suits leak.

So does this world preexist your attempts to make it more fey? It's going to increase the difficulty of giving you advice because fitting into existing world building is challenging. In addition to Swedish and British Isles centered folklore, may I recommend you look into Japanese folklore as...

So, do by "this world" do you mean "the (nominally) real world" or do you mean some fantasy gameable D&D world. A lot of the things that I would have recommended to you involve living in Fairie or at least exploring it, but the immediate recommendation for something a bit numinous and fey is...

Around the time this post was originally written, I divided the Ranger into two classes - the Explorer a jack-of-all-trades focused on movement ability, navigation, and two-handed fighting and the Hunter focused on ranged weapons and killing things. Potentially shared stealth and survival, but...

I think you'd get more response if you gave us a longer summary of what you are thinking. Like, why do you want to do "fey things" and what is your existing inspiration (your "Appendix N" if you would like). For example, are you more Spiderwick Chronicles or Brothers Grimm. Is this Darbie...

Interstellar rescue mission? Space spiders.

Regional where? In the Midwest they tend to be corned beef and cabbage, and in some parts of the Midwest that cabbage is sauerkraut, but I've never heard a pork and sauerkraut. Are you back in the "old country" or are you in a place old enough that it retained the old country traditions...

Well, seeing as my usual teams are flops this year, better an SEC team win than anyone else.

That's some mighty fine looking eats. I'll be eating something similar tomorrow. Usually, we end up making a Hoppin' John or a Jollop Rice because my family (well one side of it) is Cajun and also "Geuax Tigers!" but I think we'll probably just go back to basics this year.

One of the hardest things about being a superhero is one of the things they almost never worry about - being at the right place at the right time to actually do good with a power set that is heavily focused on "beats people up good". The truth is if you were just doing the Batman thing and...

Obligatory request for you in 2026 to get the Tortall license and publish a Tortall sourcebook for knightly adventures using the Pendragon rules adapted to the different culture. Please take my money.

I would truly love more discussion of this because I've tried to read the rules and they make my eyes just glass over. Something about the presentation just turns me off at every level, and yet I'm not fully happy with WEG D6 and would be interested in looking at other rule sets or at least...

Just fully leaning into the space trucker vibe.

More precisely, the problem is that most ship related skills are merely pass/fail maintenance of the ship that only involve dice-rolling when abstracted but offer no interesting decisions to the player. Even getting past the question of in a cooperative game is the dominate personality allowing...

It's got about 5 good episodes - the first 3 of the first season and the last 2 of the second season. It's got maybe three other episodes that are watchable. Beyond that, it might as well be Book of Boba Fett or Obi Wan Kenobi. It would perhaps capture the idea I'm going for here to say it...
