    Modiphius' Conan TTRPG Is Ending

    I think Conan would have been great with Design Mechanism, the creators of "Mythras".

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    Are you against folk music, also? [emoji2359] Seriously, though, folk is of Germanic origin, it existed as "folc" in Old English and meant "people". Just as the French word "peuple" does. Without a definite article it just means "a number of persons" and with a definite article it means "A...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Permanently Removes The Term 'Race'

    I don't see the problem, tbh. It's a purely hierarchical term. It doesn't mean the "species is sub", it means there is a distinction between different members of a species that is below the threshold for assigning a different species. It's like folders and subfolders.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should 1D&D introduce silver standard for prices?

    As I said, this is not for everyone, but if I played Hârn, Pendragon, or Mythras in the Middle Ages, I'd definetly use this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should 1D&D introduce silver standard for prices?

    The advantage in basing currency on the number 240 is, it has 20 divisors total: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, and 240, more than any previous number. Try dividing 10GP evenly among 3 party-members.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should 1D&D introduce silver standard for prices?

    Well, for non-D&D games like Pendragon, Chivalry&Sorcery, or even Mytras (if set in medieval times) it's certainly a plus.

    D&D 5E (2024) Should 1D&D introduce silver standard for prices?

    I've been thinking about that for a looong time already. Working on something based on medieval England. This is super-simplified, though, but it does make sense (to me, at least) This would make the CP a "farthing", a SP a "penny", an EP a "shilling", a GP a "crown" and a PP a "pound".

    Star Wars: Andor

    One think I thought of when I saw the funeral marching bands: Gilroy is the guy who gave us the Bourne flicks, so spy-thrillers are his thing: the marching bands must have been an callback to another classic spy franchise, namely James Bond, Live and let Die.

    I'm pretty miffed that NG/EF's European/UK webstore still isn't open.

    D&D 5E (2014) Combat as war, sport, or ??

    I take it you are not familiar with the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus? Existentialism as a philosophical current? Don't be so quick to (mis-)judge my statement. It is precisely the "expration date*, and the fact that we don't know what date it will be for us, that drives us to enjoy...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combat as war, sport, or ??

    Oh but everybody is at a constant risk of death in real life! People die all the time, all over the world, from causes innumerable, other than old age. Accidents and illnesses. It is precisely through the realization of our own mortality that we can fill out lives with meaning, sense, and...

    Yawn PCs-as-almost-gods sounds utterly boring.

    Yeah, I was gonna mention that. I hope the Ahsoka series also has Kanaan and Hera's son.

    Good thing they made a point of showing a nice spaceship scrapyard on Ferrix in the first arc of the show, right? [emoji6]

    D&D 5E (2014) Distance Estimation

    I like the way The Black Hack and its derivates does it: Close: ≤5ft Nearby: 6-30ft Over there: 31-60ft Far away: 61-120ft Distant: 121-300ft Way far away: beyond 301ft When using TotM just use these descriptives instead of precise numbers.

    What you are looking for is called "lahmacun" Just crumble "Beyaz peynir" on top and you're good.

    While I'm an unconditional fan of OSE, it's been mentioned several times, so let me just throw Hyperborea into the mix.

    D&D 5E (2014) When lore and PC options collide…

    My wife is Algerian: if she invites people for a North-African dinner and she's spent a whole day in the kitchen preparing an entire panoply of snacks, dishes, and beverages from back home, and one of the guests brings his leftover tuna-casserole, there's gonna be weird looks to say the very least!

    Star Wars: Andor

    Damn, Episode 10 was seriously epic! Not giving away any spoilers, but there's some fantastic dialogue, some of the best yet seen in Star Wars!
