    。Nonhuman fantasy civilizations question

    Thanks for the replies. Dannyalcatraz, I'm thinking more archetypes than settings. Elves and dwarves can't be the only ones that have kingdoms, art, culture, history, wars, and so on, just fighting bad elves and bad dwarves, having no need for humans in their stories most of the time as either...

    。Nonhuman fantasy civilizations question

    Remember Fallcrest, back in 4th edition? A point of light composed of people from whatever races supported each other against the darkness, very different groups thrown together by circumstance into a working whole. So I was thinking on how to recreate a "fallcrest", using only those fantasy...

    Fire Mountain Games - 5 years since funding - communication thread

    Hey everyone. Nonbacker here, but I did purchase them, and kept the maps on my wall by my desk. Loved the concept and the Upper Azathyr area and was looking forward to seeing what else Gary had come up with, especially the underwater civilizations, Skis'raal and Xan being able to join the party...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Which weekly column was written by Fannon? I read the columns as they come out, but rarely pay attention to who wrote them.

    Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with MtG.....how many more of these could they make? Dozens? Hundreds?

    How many Plane Shifts have been released so far? I've been unable to find a list anywhere.

    View From The Rifts: Looking At Palladium's Rifts Role-Playing Game

    This is exactly what my question is about. I've run into a few of those books over the years, and they always left me puzzled as to the underlying structure of Reality According to Rifts. Is there some kind of chart, or even a several-page explanation somewhere that would tie all of these...

    View From The Rifts: Looking At Palladium's Rifts Role-Playing Game

    The Rifts setting always looked fascinating, but so very complicated. Is there some kind of Great-Wheel-type explanation or chart on how all the places in the supplements fits together?

    North Texas RPG Convention Refuses To Listen To Harassment Concerns

    I think we're at +10 calling the OP out for clickbait. I find this offensive. It is a personal, demonizing attack. If this is your idea of rhetoric, my kid has some fart jokes for you.

    North Texas RPG Convention Refuses To Listen To Harassment Concerns

    Maybe because he's a Texan, running a con in Texas, for mostly Texans? Sounds to me like a no-tolerance policy for troublemakers of all types, including sexual harassers. Wanna bet Webb stays sober at this particular con? Not good enough because you don't like Texas culture. Not sure how...

    Pathfinder 1E Merging Pathfinder & Older Edition Forums

    My own pathfinder stuff is filed under 3.75 So yeah, no problems here. Not familiar enough with 13th age to be comfortable with including it under the same umbrella, though.

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    If that is the case, and you have chosen your side, I hope you are being consistent about your stand. I see Kevin Spacey is in three movies this year, and two next year. Weinstein also is the executive producer for two movies this year, and two next year. You will of course be boycotting those...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    Deciding to boycott a harasser is generous and morally good, even bordering on heroic, depending on what you're going without. Not boycotting does not make someone in the wrong, though. An extreme unrelated example: If you jump in front of a bullet to save someone's life, you are unequivocally a...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    It is a court, though, or has become one. We have judges, the prosecution, the defense, sentencing, and punishment. We even have reporters, and people appealing to this court from the lower civil courts. The court of public opinion.

    Discovery and Star Trek

    Looks like you and me are the only ones that feel that way. Everyone else absolutely loves it. :erm:

    Discovery and Star Trek

    Cannibalistic Klingons that don't care about honor, a Federation in which people can work together for years and still not cohere into a decent team, and now terrorist Vulcan xenophobes (Whatever happened to IDIC?). Some of the fan theories might redeem it for me (like the section 31 one, in...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    I think this brings up a good point that no one has mentioned yet. It makes a huge difference if he was following her around for half a minute or half an hour. It makes a huge difference if he was sort of following her when he saw her at a distance, or following directly behind her. It makes a...

    Setting or System - whichever applies to you?

    Generally if the setting looks interesting to me I'll check it out. However, there are a few systems (like the Vortex system) that I'll check out any setting for, and a few (like Savage Worlds) that I've decided that I'm not really interested in the system, and so don't check out the settings...

    Starfinder Talking With Starfinder Creative Director At Gen Con

    Watching a mystery being gradually figured out over time is interesting to me. A mystery that will always be mysteriously mysterious stops being interesting to me and becomes something I just skip over mentally. Kind of like the show Lost. Usually I binge watch shows a season at a time, but for...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Victorian-Era, Minimal-Steampunk, Dead Magic, Mainly Roleplaying, Tabletop Game for a friend's girlfriend.

    Maybe avoid the term "dungeons and dragons" itself? Might help, as that seems to be what people like that (including my mom) fixate on. Play Pathfinder or FATE core or Traveller or something?
