    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    The irony is if DS is showed like "too mature for teenages" this could cause the opposite effect, and the teenages wanted to play DS because it seems "for mature audiences". My opinion is DS is not so marketable by today's standards because the restriction of classes and PC species are against...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    The irony and tragedy in Ravenloft is even if the curses could be broken by means of the way of redemption the dark lords are too linked or hooked to their sins and flaws to leave their wrong paths. They themselves sabotage or ruin any chance of redemption, and rejecting such opportunities makes...

    There is a other option to introduce an "Athasian spin-off". One would be a new dark dormain like Kalidnay but I suggest something like the layer "Androlynne" from Fiendish Codex I. I imagine something like "Galek Sandstrider's guide of the region of Tyr" focused mainly to monsters, some PC...

    Mortal Kombat is a franchise famous because its high level of violence but there was a MK cartoon for all the audiences that could be watched by children. There was a cartoon of Rambo and others about Robocop. The Toxic Avengers was also a cartoon for children. A franchise for mature audiences...

    I guess most of players really only want the setting to be unlocked in DMGuild. If the adventure "Freedom" was too linear then we could start from zero with other adventure, an adaptation of the videogame Dark Sun: Shatered Lands. Here we shouldn't worry about the continuity or metaplot. I...

    My point of view may be different because I am Spanish and my History is different. For example we are very used to a "romantic" image about the pirates but for a lot of Spaniards they were monsters who attacked our coast populations to catch slaves, and I don't talk only about England but also...

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    I bought Warhammer RPG 1st Ed, the corebook and some sourcebooks, and they are a little jewel within my collection, with a lot of retro or vintage vibes when I see the art in the pages. I bought the White Dwarf magazine during some years and I could see the visual change with each new edition...

    Planescape Primalshard: other "echo" plane.

    (Demiplane of) Dementia Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. In the beginning of time the primal powers ruled the creation, and the genies obeyed their orders. These were fed up with primal powers' arrogance and cruelty, but they couldn't confront them openly and directly. They...

    I have learnt to untrust those experts because they can say a different thing if somebody pays enough. We shouldn't worry too much about those potentially problematic details when they can simply be omitted. We shouldn't suffer troubles about the crunch. About the lore we only need a chapter...

    The part I find difficult to understand is the criteria for establishing that something is potentially problematic because it lends itself to a lot of subjectivity. Let's imagine for example the sorcerer-kings have used magic transgenic engineering to create a variant of yellow musk creeper...

    I guess PCs are allowed to buy slaves when the intention is to free them, this means to pay their rescue. In the region of Tyr there is no slavery, only convicts convicted of crimes such as tax evasion. (Disclaimer, I was kidding) Here the true key is not about somebody may feel offended but...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Your comment has made me to remember the transhumanist TTRPG "Eclipse Phase" where PCs can use different bodies, or to download their minds into other bodies to be used these like "sidekicks". How would be Starfinder if transhumanism was possible? Of course you are free to create your homemade...

    I said it time ago and I am going to say it again. We need a coherent and clear criteria about what may be potentially problematic. And we should avoid the double standars. I remember the cartoon "Exo-Squad". it could be watched by children and it didn't show explicit violence but the plot was...

    Dark Sun is like mixing Thundar the Barbarian and the pirates of the dark waters, but "darker", a mixing Conan the Barbarian, John Carter and Mad Max. I guess the adventure "Freedom" could be updated in a way like "Curse of Strand", with new elements but keeping the essence. WotC doesn't need...
