    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    I hate all fizzy sugar waters except a ginger ale or soda water. Taught my baby son that coke was evil :) I'll tolerate lemonade if I need to but would rather drink milk or water, even juice is too sweet for me

    I'll wait for Fitz's proposed game before deciding on a character - 2024 is all new to me :) maybe one of the Golden Vault adventures? maybe start in media res and give everyone a flashback scene to cover the prep

    D&D 5E (2024) Just realized Sentinel is heavily nerfed! No longer works with PAM, no longer works on most enemies who Disengage.

    PAM+Sentinel was one of the few combos that allowed Fighters to actually be Masters of Combat, creating a tactical threat zone that others could respond to creatively. Irl Halberds, glaives, and spears were designed for control: stopping a charging enemy, keeping foes at bay, punishing reckless...

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    I think PCs should be competent at what the characters want to do but that doesnt always mean 'exceptional' for instance Orbril the gnome alchemist was clever and courageous and made a carreer of running away from combat, ducking for cover and throwing grenades. I had lots of fun and he did...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you seen "Squished Leveling" in DND?

    so its now 15 levels instead of 20 with an HD cap and the higher level abilities moved to lower levels? okay, how did you decide where to put things eg Sacred Oath [15], Improved Divine Smite [11] both at level 10

    Alien: Earth | Official Trailer

    Did a bit more reading and apparently Ridley Scotts only involvement is via being the owner of Production company "Scott Free". He said in interviews "Where it's going now, I think I've done enough, and I just hope it goes further," He's previously said that he thought the franchise had...

    Worlds of Design: Mind Your Mercenaries

    nah the Party of Adventurers absolutely is a Mercenary Company, theyre just being sent on specialist missions instead of fighting in large scale combats. Nonetheless there are many examples of rl Mercenaries rescuing captured nobles, escorting diplomats, clearing out bandits and even hunting...

    Alien: Earth | Official Trailer

    this also looks like theyre sending in Synths to face the Xenomorphs rather than 'normal folk', so this show is likely to be a very different experience to the movies - and indeed it looks more like the Resident Evil movie to me than classic Aliens. Thats not a bad thing however

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    its definitely fantasy and probably the best of the era, even with the ott acting :)

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    Krull is notable as an early example of Swords and Lasers (Sci-Fantasy) mixing classic fantasy hero tropes with alien invasion. Its lead characters were forgetable with the most memorable being the tragic Cyclopes, then there was the boomerang Glaive and um - a giant spider? but yeah the late...

    What Does a "Successful" RPG Look Like?

    Mentions on EN World and easy to find Youtube videos :) When a product has wide recognition via social media that generally means theres a good fanbase, broader interest and a chance it might be interesting.

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    There is already a Tales of Gor RPG and Deathstalker slides down the same slope of gonzo fetish gaming. Generally though Deathstalker is doable in standard DnD, its just Conanesque Sword and Sandals with more slavery and misogyny.

    Have a dinner/party in which each player presents their own epilogue on how their characters has been affected and goes on in the world. Then give out achievement ribbons and a toast

    Spoilers Doctor Who s15 (or 2) [[spoilers!]]

    Susan is Galifreyan and she is related to the Doctor, but she might not be a Timelord (the subject has never been officially addressed). Now how the Doctor and Susan are related is a point of debate she might be an actual granddaughter (the rest of the Doctors family are/were deceased) she...

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    . The otyugh entry in A Practical Guide to Monsters notes that they are 8 feet tall - which puts their height within the limits of Medium sized, its their 500lb bulk that pushes them to large, but maybe a smaller juvenile form would work :) Otyugh in Armour :P

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    Actually, this has reminded me that Otyugh are already a telepathic species and at least semi-intelligent (Int 6). So why do all PC options have to be humanoid? Why cant we have a three legged bulk with a pair of tentacles and an eyestalk? The Trash Heap has spoken naaagh!
