This video review of Ruins of Symbaroum Player's Guide gives an excellent overview of what the flavoring and aesthetics of the setting are like, for any one who may be considering this world. You'll also see some of what will not be included in the setting book, I am guessing. Will add this...

Do you have a small set of procedures for down time activities, that characters may pursue on their own? Do you have a list of major personalities (NPCs) whom you might integrate into stuff like carousing, or other kind of curated encounter table, so that PCs can meet them (and the...

Must be a relation of Chilchuck Tims I see on that cool art concerning Bounty Hunter guilds! (y)

Jason Momoa agrees!

Cyberpunk Edgerunner David had the equivalent of a skinny health care plan. :(

Comment to say thank you for this. I discovered my first exposure to Traveller was through the Starter Edition box set!

Returning frequently to the places of inspo (for your setting) is illuminating. Our understandings about "Vikings" just on findings from archaeology for example, is more comprehensive even in the last ten years!

Not optimized game/many bugs + few save checkpoints & no save game option = my most frequent or unpleasant experience with video games. As a general feature, I sometimes like save checkpoints, or save anywhere more; sometimes what the game happens to be influences this feeling.

Sierra Verde It's scaffolded using Luke Gearing's Wolves Upon the Coast, but seems to fit your vibes? There's a demo file you can look at to confirm how much work you may need to do.

I hope you don't mind I highlighted this; I felt like I should because while it is clear you've not been very unhappy about changes made to D&D, you have cared enough to change a rule, because you felt strongly that a rule was dumb. I'd advocate that at a certain threshold of rule changes made...

There's been discussion recently on city game loops and procedures in other places I visit, so first, here is a list of resources that may be of help generally. Reading: Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino Pick a copy of this book either used or from your local library and read it. Pick any...

I realize earlier ppls had mentioned Corellon Larethian from Forgotten Realms and specifically the character Fala from Dragon Heist along with a few other neighbors the party can meet in that campaign. Elminster, of Ed Greenwood fame, also spent time as a woman.
