Anyway although it is difficult to read in its current form, I managed to get through and hopefully have the plot in hand Background Martin Wainwright, once a respected doctor, lived with his wife Alia, their children Windy and Desmond, Martin’s mother Agnes, and two house staff, Celeste and...

While I agree it hasnt been done well the MCU has explored the impact of the Blip in quite a few of its offerings. I'd have liked to see far more chaos and political clashes, and the impacts of magic, aliens and advanced tech should be far more chaotic than it has been. But I'm resigned to the...

Not really Running a homebrew world means I change and cherrypick stuff anyway, quite iften I dont even know where a particular bit originated. If its a big campaign - Enemy Within, Kingmaker etc then sure, its fair

Did you know a new Island appeared of the coast of Japan in 2023 and another one near Tonga in 2022. Even for those who take notice of such things when they happen, Humans have a remarkable ability to move on to the next thing and not live life worrying about floods in Italy or War in the...

None of the Avengers wear a mask, even Ironman. The Sokovia accords required heroes to be registered and work with Government oversight (President Red is Govt Oversight gone overboard). Masked street levell heroes defied registration laws and were labelled illegal Vigilantes. Edited for past...

It might just be the news zeitgeist but I was reminded of a particularly prominent western president - nuff said - I didnt quite understand the sauces thing, except as a very peculiar eccentricity. Overall it was an entertaining enough piece of satire (though I did feel sorry for Kai)

yeah the one time I allowed a Resurrection Spell it opened a portal into the Realm of the Dead and the PCs had to go do an Orpheus quest to find the soul. I like magic being mythic deeds. Earthquake should involve summoning an cataclysm elemental who the mage then needs to try and control etc etc

Does any one remember if Angela Del Toro was in Jessica Jones? (I seem to recall her name coming up) Just I see that they have a child version of Hectors niece in the courtroom - is it a continuity break? Who is going to be the next White Tiger?

I liked the Traits system in 5e but always wanted it to be more - turning the Ideals, Bonds and Flaws into actual mechanical ties (Aspects/Distinctions/Passions), generating Inspiration Points that could then be spent to gain advantage or rerolls. I know Smallville RPG used Cortex and had...

"Four hours until sundown" Kahru spoke when he rejoined the others, looking up through the dim day as the sun moved down towards the western spire. "The gates will be under shadow and the wind should calm a while after, it will still be there, but will not be so strong. We are still heading for...

My introduction to fantasy was Colliers Junior Classics: Legends of Long Ago, a great introduction to classic myth then Chronicles of Prydain Chronicles of Narnia Chronicles of Hyboria Chronicles of Discworld Chronicles of Dragonlance (especially its Ages) Movies - The Golden Voyage of...

I recently watched the new William Tell movie, its enjoyable enough, but what I really liked was seeing how the Crossbow was used in combat situations (having 2 bows ready and a henchman to reload while you shoot). Anyway its bow use of all kinds is part of the action fantasy, so of course...

I think Pass Without Trace is (almost) a good model of how I'd like magic to be emulating other classes ie it doesnt so much eliminate Stealth as much as it enhances it (+10 is arguably too much enhancement though) So lets take Knock as an example - rather than the current spell outright...

yeah sure, a sword striking 2 times per second would mean 12 strikes in 6 seconds, but the rules say at level 5 only half of them are actually good enough to make a hit. I assume the rest of the time is feints, sidesteps and parrys etc. A level 1 fighter only hits 1/12th of the times she strikes...

In Fist of Fury Bruce Lee delivers 9 punches in 2 seconds (the flurry of blows is a real thing), even a sword can strike 2 times per second - 6 seconds is a surprisingly long time. Autopassing a mental saving throw simulates extreme discipline or similar. Storys about spies resisting torture or...

what specifically in that list and why?

I'll cast a Pass Without Trace too - so +10 Stealth for everyone and if its a night entry I can do the Giant Eagle wildshape and carry Donnell in maybe

Also remembering that I have in my possession the Eagle-bone Whistle which apparently can allow someone to fly - though I'm not sure how @FitzTheRuke. Anyone want to try?

From his perch above the gorge Kahru watched and listened, shifting uneasily as this show of diplomacy continued below. He did not have the stomach for such duplicity, better the honesty of predator and prey than these honeyed words and double meanings! Still there was little he could do from...

City Beyond the Gates was originally high level AD&D - PCs recover the Mace St Cuthbert from the British Museum
