Here is a more direct one on the original texts in the 1e PH and DMg

I posted a bunch of the PH text in another thread

I mostly do modules, usually Paizo APs, so the TV episodic series with an ongoing theme and plot but a different main focus villain/story for each season works well with a lot of digression individual mini stories mixed in. Buffy is a decent rough example. My one shot modules are more like a...

Oathbound Domains of the Forge 3.0 Lector: It is not entirely known how a lector forms, though it is believed that a lector is created when an ordinary skeletal undead creature comes into contact with a powerful evil object. When such an event occurs, the skeleton is endowed with a powerful...

Part of that has been clear from near the beginning, licensing not for free but for royalties on sales. The current arrangement is for 10% royalties that go first to refunding the old kickstarter customers that JG has been saying they would pay off when they could. Whether there was also an...

A little know fact about the weapon vs. armor chart, the DMG says it is optional for a DM to use it or not. Discarding its use is not a house rule to 1e RAW but a RAW option. 1e DMG page 28 WEAPON TYPES, “TO HIT” ADJUSTMENT NOTE If you allow weapon type adjustments in your campaign please be...

Nyambe: African Adventures 3.0 Ndalawo, Shadow Leopard: Also known as a shadow leopard, the ndalawo (n-DAH-lahwoh) is a leopard that has been transformed into an undead shadow. Any humanoid reduced to a Strength score of 0 by a shadow leopard becomes a shadow under control of its killer within...

It’s interesting how different things appeal to different people. I was not even aware of the Mabaran Karrnath thing but that is a good leveraging of both. I was aware of the Sharn connection, but as you say flying cities exist in other settings like Golarion and the Forgotten Realms from...

Nobles of Prime 3.0 Undead: The Necromancer is almost not even human, specializing entirely in death and cold. At 6th rank they may have commanded some undead into their service; at 8th or above they create their own. Undead Guard: ? Zombie: ?

If original backers don’t get their full refund you will know that Bledsaw didn’t get any overflow payments.

I would generally prefer a system less sourcebook for the setting (as I believe was done for Willow) or an existing system for most of them over a wholly new system for most of these types of movies.

Mithril: City of the Golem 3.0 Undead: ? Undead Minion: ? Mysterious Black-Clad Figure, Cloaked Figure, Restless Spirit: ? Mysterious Black-Clad Figure, Cloaked Figure, Ghost: ? Nightshade: ? Scythe Wielding Phantasm, Spectre: ? Spirit: ? Spirit of an Old Actor, Restless Spirit: ? Spirit of a...

I played a fantasy D&D hack of Honey Heist and really enjoyed it. You roll to give yourself a multipart archetype as character creation and basically go. You have two types of skills both at 3. To succeed at a skill check when things were in doubt roll your stat or under on a d6. If you fail...

$130 for the PDF even with the 10% old KS discount $117 is way more than I am willing to spend. I pledged $15 for the Pathfinder 1e PDF, about 8 times that for the 5e version is right out for me. Looks like I'll get about eight or nine dollars of a refund if it hits around $500K (a bunch of...

That hit too close to home for me. :)

Most cosmology about planes I don't care about. I really like 4e's world axis. I like the Norse Nine Worlds. I have known a bunch about the Great Wheel since the 1e era with the little bits in the PH, DMG, and Deities & Demigods, then eventually 1e Manual of the Planes and it is OK. I enjoy...

AD&D 2e did have a rule for triggering on a failed roll, though it was not all failed rolls. 2e PH page 56 in the thief class description under find/remove traps: Once a trap is found, the thief can try to remove it or disarm it. This also requires 1d10 rounds. If the dice roll indicates...

I really enjoy cosmology stuff and it can really engage me or turn me off depending on how it is handled. As a player I am first focused on what we are immediately dealing with and have no problem with a lot being undefined. I really enjoyed the Hobbit without having read the Silmarillion...

Merchants of Prime 3.0 Undead: ? Lich: ? Vampire: ? Zombie: ?

Mechanically they were a Gish fighter mage, they could do both fighting and casting but not as well in either category as either dedicated class.
