Well... the problem with this question is that I don't think there's any such thing as a 'typical' fantasy world or setting. I think the number of powerful individuals should vary according to the needs of that setting. In some settings, there might be a fair number who manipulate things from...

This is a topic near and dear to my heart, but I have to leave in a few minutes. I'll do a quick copy and paste of some of my language rules; but due to formatting issues I will have to save the list of what languages are in what category, and the levels of similarity that they have, for after I...

Hell no. I like to DM and I like to roll dice. As a player, I like the DM to roll dice. It's not impossible that I would enjoy such a game, but it's very doubtful.

Quicklings are in MMM.

One of the conceits of my game is that things, including history, are cyclical, with periodic upheavals/disasters that send civilization back to ruins, from which civilization gradually climbs again. At the moment, my setting is in one of those just-after-an-upheaval moments, so there are a...

Rino Dondi Pinton, the creator of Cynar, has died. Cynar is a type of Italian amaro, an aperitif, made with (among other things) artichoke, and is fantastic. I'm a fan of amari in general and Cynar ranks in the top few for me.

I don't think anyone has called for that; just for giving a reasonable amount of time for people to grieve before talking smack about the dead. Nobody is thought policing here. It's about practicing decorum.

That description doesn't ring a bell. L2 is D&D's first murder mystery adventure. The pcs have to investigate the murder of the Baron of Restenford. It's very open-ended, picking up from a number of the threads in the town and npc descriptions in L1.

Alas, I don't have either of those. I'm not familiar with them- are they in an old MC Appendix or just in some adventure or something?

The bleeder is in 5e as the death kiss.

If you've got any other old favorites, let me know; there's a decent chance I've converted them, too.

I gotchu fam.

As a huge monster fan... all of them. Yes, horrifying creatures like the dharculus; the scalamagdrion; the penanggalan; the gibberling (and its offshoot, the brood gibberling); but also things like the bunyip; the odopi; the corpse collector; and even sillier monsters, like the the adherer. The...

Even though I haven't run or played it, and large parts of it aren't to my taste, I think Wild Beyond the Witchlight is destined to be a classic, if nothing else by virtue of how much of the new style of play it tries to enable.

I haven't seen it in forever, so I can't really say who my favorites were. But the show, and the period in Roman history it depicts, and the various characters in it, are awesome.

You could shift the burden so that the target has to maintain concentration on the buff instead of the caster.

Boris Spassky, a Russian chess grandmaster and one of chess' great players, has died.

They really aren't. They've been around since 1e and have appeared in multiple settings in pretty much every edition. I'm not interested in setting books for the most part. Putting setting-agnostic monsters in a setting book as a hook to get me to buy it just makes me resentful. It's a terrible...

Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and his dog were all found dead in their home today.

This would be better than the wholesale removal of maedar from the lore! That said, given the prevalence of sexual dimorphism in the real world, I would love to see examples of it in monsters. But 5e is seemingly terrified of anything that might get the "sexist" label, so... no more androsphinx...
