    No More Reptiles with Boobs!

    Hmm. I wouldnt be at all satisfied with this. The various dragon races are all quite different. Draconians are lesser dragons that worship true dragons. They're medium, have wings and tails, and iirc can petrify you. Half-Dragons are varied, and provide dragon-like abilities and the dragon...

    D&D 5E (2014) One thing I want in my 5e!

    Give me back my monsters! I want the monsters that got ignored in 4e back. And Ideally, I want the ones who had special iconic powers to all have them again. Annd Put the monsters back in their categories. Example: It really bugged me how they changes up all the fiend types. Alot of them didnt...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Dude. I may have also hated 4e (though I did try it for a year), but its over now, so you don't need to be a troll about it. lol

    Hmm. Or perhaps some weird mutant halfdragons or something (since half-dragons are already a thing). But yes. If that was the "official" creation myth, it would not irritate me nearly as much. I suppose they could be "Halfdragons", and 3.x Half-Dragons could be like the dragon equivalent of...

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    Positive: "Cautiously Optimistic" I think pleasing the fans of 4e while pleasing the fans of 1 and 2 and 3 is a tall order. But if it can be done, it will have to be with a rules lite core, and modular supplements. Whether the rules lite core will be good enough for the modular addons to...

    Pathfinder Review: Bestiary 3

    I thought I read it as confirmed to be a work in progress. I didn't look into it thoroughly though, because I dont need (or want) an epic book either.

    ... I had no idea that's where pegasus supposedly came from. And yes. I wouldn't want that in my fantasy RPG either. That's kindof retarded. At least the Minotaur myth made a hybrid beast with elements from both parents.

    In this case they're kindof related. they were made from dragons, (Io), Dragons don't have boobs.

    No More Reptiles with Boobs!

    Softening features that are already present or exaggerating them in a way to make them look more femine, to make it easier to distinguish, is alot different than tacking on new body parts. - At least to me it is. In one case you're only slightly altering proportions of whats already there. There...

    Bring Back Verisimilitude, add in More Excitement!

    Monster Post. Will Sort. "Player Powers" and "Disconnected Mechanics" Something you generally see in rules-lite systems, and something that tends to make me not want to play the game. And giving giving narrative control over the environment to the player is the sort of thing that "breaks...

    I dunno about everyone else but I was making a point /not/ to mention furries GMforPowergamers: Did you mention to the women that not all the races would look "unfeminine", just the ones where the animals they started with look "unfeminine" themselves? Ie: If you wand a-x cup boobs there are...

    That's what most groups I know have been doing for years. I'd prefer, if you're not supernaturally tough, represent the mechanics differently. Vitality and Wound points is one approach... (Starwars) Dodge and Soak Rolls are another approach... (WoD) Damage that doesn't scale much, with Fixed...

    Bring Back Verisimilitude, add in More Excitement!

    Interesting. Not a bad approach. One time I used a WoD style approach with fixed hitpoints and wound penalties. It was a real pain figuring out what sort of damage stuff should do though. I would appreciate if *damage* meant *damage*, and hitpoints meant *how much damage you can take*; even...

    Essentially it works like this (explained in D&D3.x-ish terms): 1. No Spells/Day or PP or anything like that. 2. You have to make a Spellcasting roll to cast a spell. DCs are set by the level of the spell, though there are modifiers which apply as well. 2a. If you beat the DC, the spells...

    No worries. I figured as much when I saw your post. Thanks for the heads up though.

    And if your bias is toward a "greater degree of realism", then you won't be satisfied by the game. If you're happy suspending different parts of disbelief, or more disbelief, good on you. Not all of us are. And 5e is supposed to be appealing to a wider audience, IE the people who weren't...

    There are a couple games that have that sort of magic system. CJ Carella's Witchcraft, or Ghosts of Albion are the ones that spring to mind. Witchcraft uses Mana, though, which is sortof a metagame restriction. Ghosts of Albion uses a fatigue system. A pretty good one too. And Ghosts has all...

    2e draws them as ranging from dog/rat people to lizards, but 3e made them completely lizards. And after Meepo, there's no going back to the old type of kobold.

    Well, I strongly disagreed with the assertion that I just wanted everyone to look like men, when that had nothing to do with it. So I had to set that straight. As for the bestial races that just look like human women in latex suits, if there's such a demand for them, I can't really say that...
