It’s interesting how different things appeal to different people. I was not even aware of the Mabaran Karrnath thing but that is a good leveraging of both. I was aware of the Sharn connection, but as you say flying cities exist in other settings like Golarion and the Forgotten Realms from...

Nobles of Prime 3.0 Undead: The Necromancer is almost not even human, specializing entirely in death and cold. At 6th rank they may have commanded some undead into their service; at 8th or above they create their own. Undead Guard: ? Zombie: ?

If original backers don’t get their full refund you will know that Bledsaw didn’t get any overflow payments.

I would generally prefer a system less sourcebook for the setting (as I believe was done for Willow) or an existing system for most of them over a wholly new system for most of these types of movies.

Mithril: City of the Golem 3.0 Undead: ? Undead Minion: ? Mysterious Black-Clad Figure, Cloaked Figure, Restless Spirit: ? Mysterious Black-Clad Figure, Cloaked Figure, Ghost: ? Nightshade: ? Scythe Wielding Phantasm, Spectre: ? Spirit: ? Spirit of an Old Actor, Restless Spirit: ? Spirit of a...

I played a fantasy D&D hack of Honey Heist and really enjoyed it. You roll to give yourself a multipart archetype as character creation and basically go. You have two types of skills both at 3. To succeed at a skill check when things were in doubt roll your stat or under on a d6. If you fail...

$130 for the PDF even with the 10% old KS discount $117 is way more than I am willing to spend. I pledged $15 for the Pathfinder 1e PDF, about 8 times that for the 5e version is right out for me. Looks like I'll get about eight or nine dollars of a refund if it hits around $500K (a bunch of...

That hit too close to home for me. :)

Most cosmology about planes I don't care about. I really like 4e's world axis. I like the Norse Nine Worlds. I have known a bunch about the Great Wheel since the 1e era with the little bits in the PH, DMG, and Deities & Demigods, then eventually 1e Manual of the Planes and it is OK. I enjoy...

AD&D 2e did have a rule for triggering on a failed roll, though it was not all failed rolls. 2e PH page 56 in the thief class description under find/remove traps: Once a trap is found, the thief can try to remove it or disarm it. This also requires 1d10 rounds. If the dice roll indicates...

I really enjoy cosmology stuff and it can really engage me or turn me off depending on how it is handled. As a player I am first focused on what we are immediately dealing with and have no problem with a lot being undefined. I really enjoyed the Hobbit without having read the Silmarillion...

Merchants of Prime 3.0 Undead: ? Lich: ? Vampire: ? Zombie: ?

Mechanically they were a Gish fighter mage, they could do both fighting and casting but not as well in either category as either dedicated class.

I allowed the UA human rolls option in addition to the DMG methods in my long term 1e campaign. I think those generated the highest average RAW legal stats in D&D's history of options and had the good stats tied to your class concept. Still ended up with a party that included 4 elves (two...

That's a lot for the 4d10 (avg 22, max 40) + con bonus per level that a 4th level fighter gets. 18 con and a little above average rolls or 15-17 con and really good rolls.

Maelstrom Campaign Setting: Pantheon 3.0 Undead: ?

For me it was the reverse. The complexity and analysis and research to try to figure out and run AD&D RAW was a great foundation for when I became a lawyer and legal analyst. :)

While that could be doable for the PDFs at nothing more to GG than potential lost new sales, printing out and shipping a hugely massive book (which is significantly bigger than what the old one promised) would involve significant costs, not to mention the old one offering different things like...

Just FYI there is a separate What I am reading in 2025 thread. :)

My understanding of Hyperborea is that it originally billed itself as 1e but with classes, races, monsters, and magic specifically redone for a Conan background world. The one that surprises me in that list is Castles and Crusades. C&C is very much an OSR style 3e era d20 hack simplifying a lot...
