    Official News Monstrous Menagerie II is Now Available!

    I did not specifically think of Audrey II for the design, but the artist did a cool job. This was my original write-up for an illustration pitch: [[Art: Illustration of a fey dragon. Mood: A cat playing with its food. A colossal colorful critter with a body shape readily identifiable as a...

    Official News Monstrous Menagerie II is Now Available!

    I wrote the vaknid, fey dragon, eclipsar, runic guardian, and penitent mantis. I would love it if someone would use one of my monsters and tell me how they turned out.

    Level Up (A5E) Speed? I Am Speed. (Or: Expedition Leader Marshal is Hilarious)

    They're just all shoving you at the same time, imparting more forward momentum. I saw a video about how to beat Baldur's Gate 3 with just walking. You had to use a special mix of items that built up 'Reverberation': Reverberation (Condition) - bg3.wiki Basically, one item said, 'whenever you...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    That said, I'm pretty sure the scenes where you saw Galactus approaching Earth, he was passing Jupiter and then Mars, but the side of the planet that he was passing was lit up, which really makes sense if he was going past them and heading out of the solar system. Unwatchable.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I quite enjoyed it. It's popcorn fun, and took my mind off how the real world is dysfunctional now.

    ZEITGEIST tragicThaumaturge's 4e Zeitgeist Campaign

    Bump? Congrats on finishing the campaign! Any surprises in the climax? Where'd all the PCs end up?

    Help me brainstorm a grounded military mecha campaign set in the year 2050

    1) That could work. I am thinking about having an action sequence in Paris, ranging from the Palais Garnier opera house and Notre Dame, but those buildings have been there for centuries, so they'll probably last a few decades more. 2) I'm going to have a few high profile instances of a hacked...

    Help me brainstorm a grounded military mecha campaign set in the year 2050

    The way I'm envisioning it, multiple militaries field their own combat mechs, produced by arms companies the same way they have made tanks and planes and missiles. Most fill the role of escorts for tanks, and are only about 12 feet tall and like 10 tons - basically oversized infantry who can...

    I like the energy. Not sure about the accuracy of the geography, but I can work with this. Mechs as humanitarian relief tech that then gets militarized is a neat turn.

    Help me brainstorm a grounded military mecha campaign set in the year 2050

    One game that I'm hoping to draw inspiration from is Night Witches. In it, you play women from the USSR who fly night missions in WW2 - you're pilots, so you're useful, but you're women, so the military treats you as kinda expendable. And between missions you have to scrape and scheme to keep...

    Realistic Combat that's Simple(ish)

    I'm coming in quite late to an already-long thread, but a few years ago I had an idea for a 'simple' combat system that has your Defense as how well you are at dodging (i.e., basically normal D&D stuff, with your defensive stat going up if you're better a parrying or dodging or whatever), and...

    Help me brainstorm a grounded military mecha campaign set in the year 2050

    I've been bit by the BattleTech bug. I got back into the game 9 months ago. I painted some minis, played in a tourney, read some of the cringey old novels (and one good one). And now I want to do my own mech thing, not in the BattleTech universe, but more a near-future techno-thriller with mech...

    ZEITGEIST Cypherblade's Zeitgeist campaign

    Yeah, the amulet interacts with the ring to pull you partially into the Bleak Gate so you can briefly interact with stuff over there, but there's a second spell - which only people on the other side have - to pull you the rest of the way.

    Neat mix. Good luck with the game.
