Advice to GMs - Dont give too many magic items out and it wont be a problem Attunement means that item powers can be gated behind level and stat ranks, I like legendary weapons that have influence and narrative "worthiness" gates too. I also think that all magic weapons and armour should be...

The Normans were led by knights in armour focussed on mounted cavalry formations, building castles and open field tactics, Wales unfortunately -for them- is rough and mountainous. The Welsh were small bands of rangers in the forest and hills, they knew their territory, used guerilla tactics and...

Capaldi also had a few multiparters, but pretty much the whole new Who has been 'cursed' in some views. The big era of multiparters was Tomm Bakers 4th Doctor 40 years ago

The actual United Nations told BBC they werent allowed to use United Nations for Unit anymore, so I was surprised when they referenced Geneva. Either theyve resolved something or its just a sneaky nod in order make UNIT International again (leaving Torchwood as UK specific) or the Disney...

yes this board does skew that old - young people use those new fancy instagrams and discords and what not not that 87 is all that long was it? I was 15 in 87! anyway I do like PDFs and your earlier point about experience milestones letting you set your own pace works well when you can get...

Yeah I prefer flat systems where PCs develop organically rather than jumping levels, so a good adventure doesnt need explicit level gain to be fun. For DnD Id focus Adventures within tiers rather than spanning level 1 -10 to get impetus

Hmm I hadnt picked up on that detail (probably because of all the costume changes) but the Doctor being in white and Mrs Floods white coat at the end of last season do make a possible link. Also considering that despite the death of Sutekh we are still getting stories of the "gods of chaos"...

You're correct and if the Doctor had been present, he probably would have stopped Kate from doing it, but he wasnt there - and Kate went too far (even her right hand man Colonel Ibrahim says it). It will be interesting to see if Kates dark turn is explored further - especially now that UNIT has...

he found it half-buried in the black muck of the river, where the low tide drew the cities breath away, baring its ribs and detritus to the fingers of its most desperate scavengers. The boy felt it hard and cold in the silt, long as his forearm and carved from fine ivory, with holes drilled...

Wouldnt be the first time the Doctor or UNIT have had some grey morality including outright pettiness and sadism. Right back to Hartnell and Troughton, and notably with Tom and Colin Baker, Mccoy and a few of the new lot too. Some of my favourite characterisation of the Doctor is when he goes...

Yep thats a good encapsulation of the Rani, and while Id love to see her back, not getting Rani vibes from Mrs Flood (except for her sinister turn in the Christmas special)

I also heard it, just after the speculation that Gatwa was leaving at end of this run. Mrs Flood might be linked to incarnations of that ththe Doctor preceding William Hartnell and Susan

So I picked up Edgar Rice Burroughs Pellucidar novel this morning and dipped into the world of savage dinosaurs, pyschic pteradon oppressors, cannibal apemen and pulp explorers from the surface. Anyway I started wondering if there had ever been a TTRPG treatment of Pellucidar, its varied...

You either play with what youve got or play something else. There are so many options now that WotC dropping out of the market wouldnt be much of a gap

Was looking through Fighting Fantasy RPG this morning - PC Stats are Skill, Stamina and Luck so a very simplified and abstracted attribute system - which while it is much more abstract than DnDs classic 6 does still show a system is needed to add the G to the RP. Fighting Fantasy does use...

What I would love to see is a way for Skill based stunts to be codified so that a characters Skills can be used to do cool things rather than needing a feat for it. Things like Athletics being used to doing scissor kick takedowns, or wallruns or my Intelligence:Tactician Skill allowing a fighter...

to avoid that I'd only have 1 Primal Companion (Ruh the Tiger), and run Podo and Kodo and the Eagle as 'special abilities' Sherak - Beast Sense - Once per short rest the Beast Master can concentrate on a Beadt and see through its eyes Podo and Kodo - Tiny Thief - Once per short rest you can...
