Yeah, that would be cool:) Kahru is looking for better ways to enter/exit the Crag, observing the Courtyard and tracking what the crew is doing. I sent Vadasz to the South West entrance to see whats inside (and hopefully not get eaten!). Gonna post tonight...

City Beyond the Gates has certainly made London a legitimate DnD metropolis, so I cant dispute its inclusion But debating the extent of WW2 bombing might be better in another thread?

Magic should require the same Skill test as any other class attempting to do something given enough time, personnel and technology - fireball is found in a vial of alchemist fire, planeshift generates enough energy to open a planar wormhole, even reversing gravity is an advance use of...

and I've just remembered that Lankhmar was a DnD city too!

Golden Huzuz, The City of Delights The Rock of Braal Freeport

Forgotten Realms is fairly generic, so do you really need to tie your story to DnD IP? If you use your own names and histories then you're fine, you just wont have the FR tag on it for better marketing

Yes a Kraken or Morkoth that now finds itself deposited in the middle of a major flooded metropolis

Ask the DM who should do whatever makes the best story (and complicates the PCs lives) Tidal Disruptions: The moon’s gravity controls the tides thus moving it could cause massive tidal waves and innundate coastal cities. Biorhythm Disruptions: The rhythms, migration and survival of many...

yeah nah, I'm judging this book by its cover

In REH's conception Civilisation is decadent, treacherous and corrupt, whereas Conan as Barbarian is Honest, Direct and self reliant. Conan in the books uses Wit and Determination as much as Physique to overcome challenges and survive against overwhelming odds - remember he started life as a...

As many as are needed to tell the story of your PCs. Which is to say that it depends on the nature of those beings and the world in general but the PCs must always be the focus. So my worlds tend to be animist and so have lots of local spirits acting as genius loci and some places are...

For another take on things lets consider the role of Primal Languages spoken by Immortal creatures - Celestial/Infernal, Primordial, Draconic and Fey (Sylvan). As those creatures are immortal there is an active core of that language being spoken and written, providing for linguistic consistency...

do they? then so does Conan

I've missed some of the intervening discussions but just pointing out that these same 'Conanesque' philosophies as you describe can be seen in characters like X-Mens Wolverine, Mad Max, Jason Mamoas Aquaman, John Wick or The Witcher - rightly or wrongly they remain popular tropes

Yeah Ive been thinking about card based character creation for a bit, then tend to leap to cardbased combat too - looks like a fun little set

Breeding an ape to have increased intelligence and tool use Creating a city and its underlying culture Growing an perfect forest habitat of owlbears

It that case I'd go back to Goblins but also expand, since Goblins are now Fey you have the entire Gloaming Court to haunt to dreams of mortals - all the dark fey lurk just beyond the edge of night and want to steal the warmth and life of mortals make Kobolds daylight creatures who rely on...

I like Strigoi, bloodsucking humanoid Stirges who are not vampires

The genre that puts me off most is Comedy games, they just dont tend to play as funny. Not that I dont like humour in games even toons style ott slapstick but forced humour is meh. I can do melodrama as long as we embrace the farcical soap opera approach though lol. Everything else is fairgame...

Not so much Leiber if you happen to be a Mongol though Or Tolkiens portrayal of the Haradrim and Easterlings, or CS Lewis portrayal of Tash and the Calormen. The point being racist attitudes are rife in early 20th century fiction, should we dismiss the whole lot, why do Howard deserve any...
