    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    around here, not much. :D But it's my response when your Dungeons and Dragons game is getting too out there. You do your game how you wish, but I'll do it my way, and if it involves heavy metal minotaurs fighting demonic dinosaurs in the badlands of Alberta while rocking a bitchin' soundtrack...

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    And while I'm at it, reposting my comment on Pointy Hat's video: The original Castle Blackmoor dungeon had elevators and a gift shop. The first module was Temple of the Frog (in which aliens set up a frog cult using incredibly advanced technology). This was also redone in the DA Trilogy...

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    Earlier this year, Pointy Hat made the argument that I have been making for years, and apparently, it is a moment. Maybe this is finally the time to try to get the hodgepocalypse into a publishable state, since it shares many of the same themes.

    A searing frontier of hoodoos, fossil cliffs, and broken horizons. Once the world’s greatest dinosaur dig site. Now? A portal-touched war zone where something ancient is pushing back. It all begins with this post - Presenting the Terrorsaur Badlands - Part 01 -...

    D&D General How elder scroll does species

    After all this stewing, all that I ended up doing is making a whole slew of 2014 backgrounds for my rpg, and I don't think it was a bad thing.

    D&D General How elder scroll does species

    I am trying to see if the way that the elder scrolls games does their species is a better or worse model then the current or previous editions of dungeons and dragons. Like giving humans special abilities based on region makes as much sense as doing sub species for dwarves and elves. Skyrim in...

    D&D General So WOTC is doing Milf's Guide to Greyhawk...

    Well, if we are writing it... MILF’s Legendary Spell List (Revised & Annotated) “These are not just spells. These are standards.” — Melfina Brightflame Charm Person If you are relying on magic for this, we need to have a much longer conversation. True charm is not cast—it is conveyed: in the...

    D&D General So WOTC is doing Milf's Guide to Greyhawk...

    Because I can't let a bad joke die. MILF’s Guide to Greyhawk “Power, Presence, and Practical Magic from a Woman Who’s Been Around the Multiverse Twice.” These days, I answer to Melfina Brightflame, archmage of experience, which is what you become after you’ve watched empires rise, fall, and...

    OZGate - or what they don't want you to know

    Alright… this is the one that’s been sitting underneath everything we’ve been poking at. We’ve followed the tornadoes. We’ve walked the Road. We’ve talked about returnees, loops, and the Emerald City weirdness. So here’s the uncomfortable question: If Oz is real… who built the system? The...

    https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2022/11/revolutionary-planetological-geonomicon.html I did space byzantium, complete with cuthroat politics based on space chariot racing. :D
