I've never run it, or played it this way, but I've been noodling an Underdark campaign for some time now, and I thought, what if... I don't play 5e (no offense intended!)

Has anyone ever run a game where the players are actual monsters? Like, a party of orcs, or drow or something? I know AD&D metiones this possibility in one of the core books, but I'm curious how often--if ever--people play this way?

Is this the longest thread ever, or the one with the most replies or something? Curious.

While I am notorious for being easily entertained, I absolutely loved this. Some of the shots in the movie came directly from the comic books. Reed Richards was great (hint of darkness...) as were all of the others. It looked beautiful, it felt epic and has a total 'comic booky' vibe. Pure...

“There is no accounting for taste,” as the Romans used to say.

Dark, brooding, threatening. This is how the Realms were portrayed when I started playing in them back in the 80s. Now it's the twee Muppet show.

I have the Arkham one, and that's going to be the setting for sure. I think I'm just going to put breadcrumb trails out and see which way they go, then prep. that. So much of CoC is investigative, and we all like handouts. Can't make those on the fly.

Hello, generally pleasant people on the Internet. I am a long time player of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu. Like, a really long time (since 1983!) I have run more than 100 sessions (not sure how many, to be honest) and I've always run a published scenario, or connected a group of published...

Big shoggoth three dead characters (DCC)

I thought that was a bit over the top, especially with how slowly Ma Kent spoke. It seemed a bit like a characicutre to me. Maybe it was meant to be. Still loved the movie!

Have her read the source comic, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It will make much more sense.

I loved it. I breathed a huge sigh of relief because I am a DC fan, and they have had an...uneven track record, let's say, at the box office. I thought it was fast-paced, looked remarkable, and did such a great job with all of the characters, including Superman. A+ from me. I am left feeling...

I'm going to play T2k, and I got the rules, so I'll give them a read and see what I think. As I have played more and more games, and learned/encountered more and more systems, I find I prefer simpler mechanics vs. crunchier games. Just a personal preference. Less rolling, more role-playing...

Do the number of skills vary by game, or is the Year zero engine pretty well defined regardless of game? I have gotten away from skill based games (D&D, Dragonbane, Call of Cthulhu) for more attribute-based games. Just curious. I suppose I could simply look at some character sheets...
