I was at the Gencon in Milwaukee getting my 3.0 PHB. I forget which designers signed it.

I like the idea that they don't aerodynamically fly so much as claw their way through the sky. Its less a wing and more a hand. The glassy "membrane" in the earlier art is space- time flexing about their body. I mean, it can't be a psionic effect, as there's no blue bit between their body and...

Think I preferred the "crystal film" wings. It was more surreal. For a dragon that lives in a necrotic environment, that glassy "immune to cosmic decay" look makes sense.

Right, or do elven children take over the parent's shop so the parent can finally stop making chairs and move on to being an alchemist while knowing the kid is in good shape? Or what if elven adults treat elves less than 100yro as disposable? Like, what if elves had MORE kids than the orc...

I didn't say "how many assets" I said "what kind of assets". Quantity is a quality but not the only quality. Will "typical" elven adults have homes that are sparsely furnished but each item is a masterpiece? Will they have eclectic mixes of materials accrued over centuries? Does it look...

One aspect of species I'd like addressed is age. The USA would have only seen a few elven generations: the ones here prior to 1776, those born 1776-1950, 1950-current. (I'm assuming elves have kids on average at 170yro, which corresponds to a 26yro human). The oldest 1st gen american elves...

So..they need to move 6 spaces along the map without setting off 3 traps to get inside the fortress. Got it. I'm a big mapper. I make a lot of physical maps, triptychs (which are properly graphs as they represent time not space) and mind maps of concepts and goals. A mind map is not...

Lot of truth here. Maps are a common way people think. Heck, some people prefer physical books because they build a "map" of the book that helps them remember where information is located. That sounds like tug of war. Pull the thing across the line while foe tries to stop you. Hey, that's...

Whispers uses the foes reaction, so its immediate. Great for triggering party AoOs. Booming blade goes bang.

Long running anything are the outliers. Most things are interrupted by life. I have had the fortune of running both 2e & 3e games from 1st-20ish, and playing in a 1st-20th 5e game. Each took years IRL. The 3e game started with just the PHB and ended the week 4e books hit shelves. That's...

Heroes won. The campaign ended. Alternately You mean that really worked? Dnd 5e2014 pastiche of Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Princes of the Apocalypse, Courts of the Shadow Fey and probably other stuff

Its a fun puzzle on a forum and a way to add some hidden bits to a game book for the addicts, but unless its an unlicensed Professor Layton TTRPG, it should never be something a player has to learn for actual play.

What a Warframe is, is actually part of the story quests, so its a spoiler of sorts. The player characters start as semi-amnesiacs

I never got to play 7th Sea 1ed, but I loved the mechanics. Felt a bit like shadowrun-meets-deadlands.
