Huh, neat. I've heard good thing about ElfQuest but never got around to it. Nice to see another Fantasy game using BRP, even if it's using an edition older than I am. How DOES older BRP play, compared to CoC 7E?

Only if you share a glass with your players in their character's honor.

The obvious options for HP are either "students pre-dating Potter & Co. dealing with lower stakes threats" (see: Hogwarts Legacy and Mystery) or "adult wizards stopping major threats" (see: Fantastic Beasts). So Kids on Brooms or Rivers of London.

* looks at Vampire the Masquerade * You may be a bit late to the Urban Fantasy Vampires game, ma'am. You'd probably have to retune the system to makes guns and high tech more functional, not to mention the currently lacking social and exploration pillars. Though, given the shaky state of the...

And people clearly have a taste for what he's brews up in that niche, was my point.

I mean, two of the best-regarded OSR-style books of the last few years were a jungle hexcrawl of Neverland and an urban pointcrawl of The Land of Oz (with a megadungeon of Wonderland out in November).

Nice! I still need to actually get the new Core Books.

I would hope that kind of release is a update for current owners of the old books... but since the ore rules books are fully new releases...

I was theorizing on Failbetter's own forums years ago that Fate Accelerated might be a decent system for FL. My main argument being that FL the browser game basically runs on Approaches, already (Shadowy, Watchful, Dangerous, and Persuasive, specifically). Come up with a big "The Adjective...

It's definitely going for a Control vibe, just if the Federal Bureau of Control was a corporate NGO instead.

My criteria tends to be based on how much additional material is tacked onto the system's core math (read: usually "XdX + Bonuses = Target"). If it's mostly JUST the core math and the barest setting/customization, that's an ultralight game (24XX). If it's got an actual list of skills and...

Eh, a pretty decent concept, but I'm not really into it. I'm kind of married to the "why does this place have a height limit?" idea (no ideas on that "why" yet. Eccentric goddess of one of the Halfling/Gnome pantheons going her own way, maybe?). Also, doing a full on extra-planar conflict as a...

I wanted the whimsy of EVERYTHING but the intelligent species, and their constructs, being HUGE. Trees are high-rises, wolves are horses, horses are bears. But, a few folks keep doing me the Syndrome meme, "but if everyone small, no one small". I didn't think this was that hard a concept to...

I was meaning more as NPCs. Angels, devils, and djinn clearly have a presence here, given their progeny are part of the playable species list. So, having statblocks for them would be handy. Not just for the Tiefling's great-grandfather, but also for Warlock patrons and such. Maybe this just...

I'm including the planetouched species, so that means planar entities have SOME kind of presence in the setting. Anything that travels to the setting transforms into it's closest equivalent in the "small" size bracket. So, I need to figure out the closest equivalent for the most common...

I'm still wondering how to planar entities with the size restriction. I think I'd need to do fresh stat blocks, since stuff in this bracket is thin on the ground (still going with "Imps" and "Cherubs" for the names). Succubi/Incubi are still cool, they're already shapeshifters. What's the...

If I were to really restrict/refocus this list, I'd slim it down to ones present in Faerun, since that IS the 5E baseline. So, that would leave us with... Gnomes (Forest, Rock, Deep), Halflings (Stout, Lightfoot, Ghostwise), Goblins, Kobolds, Grungs, Kenku (Small only), Aasimar (Small only)...

Okay: went digging just to have a proper reference. Here are (I think) all of Fifth Edition's player species in the "small" size category. An asterisk means that they can choose between Small or Medium. Aasimar (Mordenkainen)* Genasi (Mordenkainen)* Gnomes (Player's) --- Deep Gnomes...

Nice, always need a avian race.... Wait... Kenku ALSO get to choose to be Medium or Small.

I'm going to admit that I crossposted this topic on RPGNet to crosspollinate the threads and properly credit a great suggestion. A very good visual inspiration for this that I missed: Fraggle Rock. I'm ashamed that it didn't come to mind sooner...
