I am but a humble copyist in the scriptorium of our holy cloister but this most devilish engine, which doth employ plates of tin and lead to impress the holy script upon parchment with unseemly haste has brought great consternation to my soul. Whole volumes are now poured out in the span of...

So would you say Milestone leveling is better for Sandbox play?

Strangely enough your Bioknight made me think of Finn and Jake from Adventure Time, but even more so if you take in the Fusers abilities. I like the concept of the Fuser and the Bioknight, a class that mergers with its mount/familiar to gain extra abilities is cool. Its really not that...

I was fortunate enough to read the The Book of Hanz before playing FATE Core so I had a bit better understanding of the philosophy behind fate as a fiction first collaboration with the rules as pacing tools rather than mechanical simulation. The FATE approach can be a bit harder to get your head...

I dont think the battle was the climax of the movie though, the movie was a social discourse in superhero trappings, the climactic scenes were in the celebration of culture and in the dialogue, the action was part of the entertainment but not the central journey and in that the movie hit a good...

Absolutely, I was watching the show one day - many years ago- after Ellie-Mae got involved in the movies and gets a few suitors which got me thinking about the next generation... I can certainly see the Smallville RPG being used as a base, not familiar with Hillfolk or Agon, but will look them up

What system would you use for this? Ellie-Mae Patterson is the powerful and respected matriarch of the Patterson dynasty. She inherited the wealth from her father whose surprising discovery of oil on his land transformed the familys fortunes and prompted their move to Beverly Hills. Ellie-Mae...

Fate - start with just one background Skill/Approach and add new aspects, skills/approaches through gameplay. Use stunts for mutations
