The discussion about government manipulation/blackmail/leverage seems to be focusing on the government as if it’s one faceless entity. If an individual attempted to use my loved ones as leverage, assuming I had the powers of superman, my immediate response would be what about your loved ones? I...

I wonder if there's something to be learned from the Batman/Bruce Wayne dynamic? i.e. if we assume you can become extremely wealthy in some legal way, you become a public figure, but one that no one would ever believe would be responsible for your actions as a superhero? I'm not sure this really...

In the same line of thought, if it is the same strengths and weaknesses as Superman, just because that’s the assumption it doesn’t implicitly follow that anyone (beyond the person affected) would know them. So I can imagine it might be challenging for someone to discover the weaknesses … unless...

So exactly how fast are we saying he can be? It strikes me that in many iterations of Superman, even while on Earth as opposed to being in space, he can move so fast that he is effectively “invisible” at least to the naked eye. To maintain a secret identity wouldn’t this just mean you’d have to...

The second I played was Traveller. The second I bought was FASA Star Trek.

While I am impressed with the quality of the components in the new starter set, I am disappointed with the lack of story linking the different components together. As someone who began playing in 1984, that’s exactly what I was hoping this updated version would bring as a key differentiator to...

My preference would be Constitution refit, constitution, excelsior and then they all kind of merge together.

I’m in Montreal at the moment, flying back to the UK today, and managed to buy the Pathfinder 1E NPC Codex and Monster Codex for a very reasonable price … BUT I suspect I may be atypical in my preference for 3E/PF1E 🙂

That’s exactly right - the idea of the group arriving as the stone circle is damaged is probably a good set up and the plot can then be more of finding the items needed to repair the stone circle. Possibly it’s then just a case of hooking these items into the set location described in the...

That’s a good idea and would definitely throw them into the action. I suspect I may well end up rewriting big chunks of it just to take out the elements that haven’t “aged well” or are too fantastical for the campaign. An island full of dinosaurs is one thing but a race of cat-people is a step...

Many thanks Mannahnin! Ideally a full plot - in the current campaign they have discovered a stone circle, which allows teleportation to other stone circles in the campaign world, and could be a vehicle for throwing them in at the deep end in the Isle of Dread. So the overarching goal would be...

Not the strongest of answers but I have fond memories of running it over 40 years ago with a different group! And I now have OAR#2 - The Isle of Dread and so thought about trying to integrate it into the campaign. Will take a look at the Savage Tide!

That’s a great suggestion - many thanks!

I'm thinking about running this for my group and wondered if there was a 3E/3.5E conversion saved anywhere? I've done some searching but Google has let me down. I did track down a couple of discussions on this site from johnsemlak and Boz but their last posts seem to be over a decade ago! Also...

OK so last time we played 3.5E it was heavily modified for the campaign we were playing but the main areas in no particular order were: all humans with different cultures taking the place of races (and each culture having a selection of ring fenced cultural feats based off regional feats)...
