Yeah these days having an actual human in the party is becoming a novelty and even the poor dwarf is seeing less play than the more exotic types. At least elf still has drow as an option. But since warforged, tieflings and dragonborn, reborn, genasi and gnolls have been brought in is hard to...

Yeah, thats what doesnt make much sense to me - the school is made up of vampires, werewolves, male medusa, sirens, witches and other monsters, so what are they eating or doing in the night? Are these sparkly vampires rather than bloodsucking monsters? At least during season 1 Weems had them...

I still think making it a monster school show was a mistake. It doesnt allow Wednesday to be special when everyone is peculiar and powered and murders and zombies eating driving instructures is a regular evening.. We end up with a X-Men Academy (or rather Miss Peregrins School) with a murder...

Advanced Fighting Fantasy also has an RPG based on the Fighting Fantasy books (Warlock of Firetop Mountain, City of Thieves etc). It had a Port Blacksand source book and an Adventure Path too.

Try Warhammer Fantasy , its not Wargamey at all, but it is low powered, grim and has high character mortality. I've seen it described as playing a doomed peasant facing cosmic horror with a rusty sword, thats fair (and fun) Pendragon will give you lots of Arthurian Court Romance and Chivalry...

I dont know if I agree with that and in fact think the opposite is true. I think having halfling barbarian be as strong as a goliath barbarian discourages creativity as it makes species irrelevant. I agree Halfling barbarians should be encouraged but they should not play the same way as a...

is it made from the distilled tears of Grognards and Purist?

when selling RPG products? Why else would people be in the business of selling RPGs? I can stay at home and make anything I like with all the integrity I want too, its not like my module is suddenly going to be world changing

I remember watching an interview a few years back about a New Zealander who had won a TV talent show in China. He played it down saying that it was only a "small regional station" with about 40 million viewers - that blew my mind, 40 million is a lot, yet its only a fraction of the total market...

Dont forget the Sovereign Knights of Malta founded 1048 and, despite having no territory, still recognised as a Sovereign entity with a seat on the UN. It could well be that the PDKs are recognised as having international impact and being as significant and powerful as some nations

One campaign Ive thought about is doing Birthrights King of the Giant Downs from the monster perspective - ie PCs respond to the call from the Asweign Ghuralli to help unite the monster tribes and resist encroachment by the Rjurik settlers and murderous 'Adventurers'.

Jubensha - scripted LARPs are popular in China, with something like 30000 stores across the nation catering to it. Murder Mysteries and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are popular genre. Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu and Vampire: the Masquerade have niche status in the Chinese market - but...

I'd associate Macau with T'u Lung as a former pirate enclave which has developed Trade Networks with foreign Rakshasa merchants. The Rakshasa have built both merchant houses and gambling dens which have become popular. The Rakshasa have also brought strange foreign clerics with them who have...
