I read it as: Dragons and the Underground City: Glory of the Outlaws So if it does catch on in China, PCs will be known as Outlaws, and the game itself would be called Exploration of the Underground City. It's amazing how much concepts end up switched around during translation.

A din of gibbering mouthers is what first came to mind for me. But I like cacophony better too.

The Cantonese version of London Bridge is falling down doesn't even mention London Bridge. Translated to English, it would be something like this: A bird fell in the water, fell in the water, fell in the water. A bird fell in the water, and was washed away!

Real life prepping or gaming? Depends what kind of apocalypse. Are there zombies? Too hot? Too cold? Endless rain? Nuclear war? Cans and canopener does sound like a good start, though.

Sorry for being so slow to post a reply. So many reviews of books to read and reading through sourcebooks. Thank you! That is exactly what I hoped would happen. More later, perhaps

I'll check out the rpgs that reference Dickens, and try to find out more about pillow stories. Holmes could be good - hopefully someone takes that up. And of course I love what the One Ring RPG has done. I can't stomach Regency, unfortunately, since there seem to be several Jane Austen RPGS, as...

Some RPGs are written by people who are true students of a centuries-old classic literary work of art, and make the rules and gameplay as close a match for the source material as possible. King Arthur Pendragon RPG, based on the literature surrounding King Arthur. True20 Tales of the Caliphate...

Yet another thing I had forgotten. This is getting more and more interesting. Is there a list somewhere that includes all the experienced/inexperienced referring to other monsters?

I had forgotten how much HD size progression came into play. I'd assumed Bugbears and Orcs had the same HD - I guess I'll have to look at that more closely. I would love a more mundane Barghest (not shape-changing, not graduating back to the outer planes after consuming enough souls). They'd be...

I'm picturing a chase scene in my mind going down a long hallway that just keeps on going as they all go around and around and around and around......

So, different from the Shaver mystery weirdness that I was pointing to. I think that pic is from one of the Wellsian Time Machine movies.

Same way kobolds can't be easily slotted back into the family. They have each grown, conceptually, and diverged... But for Orcs specifically: slotting them in seems redundant. They are big and strong, like the Bugbear. Also kind of dumb, like the Bugbear. Not stealthy, I guess, but the main...

The modern trio of Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears is tough to break into. Each has a more-or-less clearly defined space in the imaginative space. Norkers, Snotlings, the blue psionic ones, etc....none of them can quite compete with the big three. I've looked at various creatures that could be...

I find the Reddit ban very strange. It does make it more difficult to find discussions of the product line to read through. When I searched for info I had found news of the ban, which is why I added the +(ish) to this thread. I'm ok with finding out more of what"s wrong with the writers and...

I think they're going to build an interconnected set of stories like DC and Marvel have been doing for decades, but with a commitment to not undo previous stories with time travel or alternate worlds. They're also going to keep a detailed timeline that they're going to fit every story into...
