tall in the sense used in tall tales is an archaic term meaning "skilled, active, capable" - So we see phrases like tall in his hands and tall of tongue. A tall tale is about a person of exaggerated skill and capability. A "tall man" was a bondsman skilled at arms and refined in speech and...

Power Behind the Throne is part of Warhammers "Enemy Within" Campaign and is focussed on social and political machinations with occasional outbursts of violence. Houses of the Blooded - FATE-derived system by John Wick Court of the Shadow Fey (Kobold Press PF or 5e) -I havent played it yet

Wish is a horrible spell it does whatever the most obnoxious person in the room wants it to

Camel, surely they are more Deer (especially the antlers) than Camel

That maybe a spoiler :P but if you're interested google Cartmel Masterplan which refers to story notes the writers were using during the Sylvester McCoy era, where it was hinted that the Doctor was not just a Timelord and much older than previously thought (which has been confirmed with the...

Omega (not his real name) and Rassilon were bff school mates on Galifrey studying to be Solar Engineers. Omega came up with the theory of collapsing a star into a blackhole and harnessing the energy to power timetravel. His teachers ridiculed the theory giving him the grade of Omega (ie last) of...

+5 is alot. Id just go with You get Blindsight 30

Celestials I already run gold dragons as Ti'anlong Celestials, the only change needed is to replace firebreath with Storm (wind and lightning) and give them a radiant aura. Generally if you treat Eastern dragons more like guardian spirits you can use the current dragon stat blocks, just...

John and Belinda make a nice couple :) I would have liked to see more of that, exploring their doubt building until the Doctor realises whats really happening rather than them relying on exposition (and then calling it out via the Rani). The idea of family calling the authorities due to doubt...

yeah I answered it from memory action points was misnaming of things like Slayer dice and Prayer dice and similar Class/Ancestry abilities. I think I was dropping Recall cost in there too, but on reread thats a Domain Card mechanic I think the thing thats sticking out is how armor is used, plus...

okay just taking combat: we have the attack roll v evasion, hope/fear, stress, action points, Domain cards, damage threshold, armor, HP - lots of little fiddly stuff to remember and get use to. Its not onerous but it is stuff to track

Of course, Aerial combat means that there is now vertical flanking to be considered in addition to normal ground-based flanking - which...

Not to be dismissive but Im not sure what the hang up is. The only person with any proprietary in the name Kelson Haldane is Katherine Kurtz. If youre not playing in the same group as your friend then you have as much right as any other fan to use it. If its an issue name your version Kelsyn...

Id love to see Fjord dwarfs who have strongholds carved into high, deep cliffs that plunge down into the sea. The entrances are connected by rope bridges and verticle cable networks. The land is rugged, mountainous and cold Not suitable for farming which forces the Fjord dwarfs to rely on the...

Jason Mamoa's pet project about the Unification and colonisation of the Kingdom of Hawaii

Yes it is. I was suprised to see the GM advice section, and the index being conviniently linked

It looks like they've taken good ideas from lots of other games and blended them into something like 4e with a lighter feel. It does seem to have lots of little fiddly steps and resource tracking though which isnt appealing. Although turning spells and manoeuvres into cards is a fun addition...

Its funny, I've never seen any such videos - why do you watch them?

I had a half-giant cleric PC who would sing battle hymns to inspire himself - so I'd allow it. You are your best ally

Not off screen, run The Fey Queens vs Vecna battle as the Lair in which the PCs find themselves. The encounter takes place in the Court of Endless Summer, now unraveling as the Shadowdark merges with Feywild. The Area includes the Throne of Titania, 5 x The Summer Fey Orbs, A Mirror-gate -...
