"There's no bottleneck or single-source resource" is not the same as lack of competition for resources that aren't quite common. Or even not the resource as such, but accessibility and prices of the resource and its derivatives. (cough see also: certain black liquid rich in hydrocarbons cough)...

It's a good example, indeed. Players don't ask details, GM doesn't tell… unless HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE, it's not a railroad, just wheel marks ground into cobblestones. :) Now suppose the detail level is always 1 step higher. That is, specific type of coins found in a given area is randomly...

If you count CRPG, Ratkin from Wizardry are fun. They are noticeably mafia-like (Don Barlone?), though mostly PCs meet the street thugs. Then again, Skaven are tinker rats with crazy toys like monowheels of doom.

I phrased it badly, yeah. Conversion from Warhammer. I mentioned Mordheim together with WHFB because it's just a compatible update/variant thereof. Skirmish scale and has some extra details, but there's no great increase in "simulation model resolution" like in RPGs compared to corresponding...

I would convert OSR to d100, rather than the other way around. Because d100 may be unwieldy, but better unwieldy than crude. If you want crude, simply use Warhammer rules. Or maybe Mordheim. After all, WHFRPG already is a conversion from that. If you really want to convert into OSR, something...

Generally, the planetouched are treated as their mortal ancestors, unless stated otherwise. Which assumed to be human, unless stated otherwise. Specifically for the Aasimar, even Skills&Powers variants (Dragon #235) don't include immunity to diseases. However, there's Heal 1/weak ("Aasimon...

Krynn (Dragonlance), for one, doesn't have halflings, just the gnomes. Also, if you want gnome villains, The Frothing Miscreant By Robert A. Van Buskirk (Dungeon magazine #80) has one. But why would you want gnome villains in the first place? Tinker gnomes from Dragonlance & Spelljammer can be...

Long ago. Have you seen his twitter? And more specifically, he sings to the same loonie tune as Disney crew (the source of that image). Should they sing it together… well, it's reasonable to expect the result will not be suddenly and drastically different. :rolleyes:

Does the character know what a troll is, and if so, from what sources? If the character have heard stories about them, common methods of disposal should be in the same stories as the rest of such "common knowledge". If not, oh well. Thus it's a matter of background dependent handouts. A more...

A team like, e.g. Muppet Show making gags like a choir of mimics could be fun. Unfortunately, things probably won't go this way. It would be made by Hollywood. Those maybe would enlist help… of the best and brightest Most Woke experts on the matter, such as Mike Mearls and Paul S. Kemp. Thus...

Birthright used human subraces. Much the same way AD&D2 core used the Five Races.

The question is, if there is a book, how much of it will be Illithiad with updated mechanics?

…or a custom construct, if worries about diseases and other distractions outweigh feasts and wenches being an option? So the real answer, alas, is "historical (corporate) reasons".

I don't know what you call "functionally superior", but — AD&D*: Made it actually useful, increased range from 60 to 80 yd, and reduced duration from 10× to 4×CL rds. 3.x: Unborked AoE, but in the way that made it single-target without being targeted (most of the time); gave it huge range, but...

All of the above, however, could also be said about magma. :devil:

So they nerfed it again… :D Faerie Fire does not just make something glow, it highlights contour.

Well, yes. PO was a fair attempt to sort this mess, but too rushed. And had some otherwise good components made needlessly clunky (Severity rolled separate from damage, Character Points rather than costs in XP). HR series? Yes, good stuff.

Yet somehow both Chinese and Italians did this. http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=50771.15 The answer is that it's too weak to have such problems, as a cheap weapon with dirt-cheap ammunition, made specifically for plinking away at small game and nothing else. The projectile...

Oh, and an useful tool for this (if you insist on hex), and hex maps in general: extension for Inkscape making customizable hex grids. https://github.com/lifelike/hexmapextension (their site with examples is on the list: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Extension_repository but it hosts...
