https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/04/left-4-ape-apes-vs-zombies.html This is a fairly small setting, but think it would be fun to show off. Not sure what to do with it, open to suggestions.

Would fallout76 make a better tabletop rpg sandbox? I think the map is fantastic and there are some great stories that would be fun to interact with, but when you get there, they have already played out. I think it would be a much better world to set your game during the scorch ascendency era...

Ooh the Juggernaut <Censored>. I wonder if there is a 5e version of them? I wonder how their navy would work. Would they be able to float stone boats, wood, or do that ice with sawdust trick during ww2? Also which aquatic creatures would be trainable?

Ha I could also see a tank being essentially plates on a triceratops and with a catapult. :D

yet another brainstorming thread for my gneiss city world I started watching the flintstones and well ... how would modern warfare look like in such a world? Infantry? Cavalry? Artillery? Air Force? and anything else you can think of.

This has always been a problem with heroes with flaws. I love GURPS I love Champions I love Savage worlds. but it always feels like the metagame is to take disadvantages to maximize points and not have them actually come up. seen too many optimization in these systems that just suck the wind...

yeah, I just did some cross comparison and I'll post a few here, but I'm not seeing any patterns what so ever: I'll start with the Baslisk: Here's a comparison of the basilisk from "Flee Mortals" to the 5e Monster Manual version: Armor Class: "Flee Mortals": 15 (natural armor) 5e Monster...

okay whose used Flee Mortals! and how? I keep looking at it to redesign my monsters, but feels like a serious can of worms. Is there a coles notes version for converting or building? It might be in the book, but I keep bouncing off it.

let me tweak that. my original goal for this universe was that most superpowers are genetic are in nature and have happened throughout history, but the gene mapping project allowed it to be done consistently, with the first of this in 2005 essentially creating a meta "baby boom." My headcannon...

agreed. I'm a sucker for a bit of randomness in superpowers, but it has to be balanced so you don't roll up a character that is unplayable. I'm thinking archetypes (ex. Brick, Blaster, Mentalist) with a random mutation table for flavor?

Cheap genomes https://www.cbc.ca/radio/spark/spark-239-1.2848083/cheap-genomes-1.2848084 Marine scientists collect genetic material in the Salish Sea to study whales https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1.7160433 Quirks and Quarks has long been my inspiration for all things science. edit: ooh just...

Okay can i get any and all gene editing extrapolations that, with a little tweaking, could be used for superpowers? Mostly looking for real news stories that could be exaggerated, but also your own musings of the limit of the genome for abilities? Ex. I am thinking a superhero that draws on...

yeah it hit every one of my nostalgic buttons and agree with the methodology, but trying to figure out a quick and dirty way to convert my monsters over to using this model (because, whoa Nelly, I have done a stupid amount of monsters and even starting the process is a daunting task). I really...

i love this book immensely and it's amazing look at the monster manual. So for those whom build their own monsters, what do you use and why?

I think I was having a kublai khan moment. i was lamenting about how badly the 50 states initiative was done and the raw potential. Then I started stewing on this era and how it could have been a lot different so one legally distinct brainstorm later and i got a writeup. However, no idea on...

I just had a crazy brainstorm creating a new superhero universe inspired by the marvel's 50 state initiative. I'm open to any and all feedback. https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/03/meta-republic-superheros-legislated.html

Because somebody has to warn you about the dangers of Vecna: https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/03/psa-trafficing-with-vecna.html

This is for my Gneiss City. I absolutely love the raw color of the speak with animal's check in baldur's gate 3 and wanted something similar for animal tools in Gneiss City. Open to any and all suggestions for additions and personalities. :D

okay my synopsis of yesterdays game. The framing device is that the party was hired by Doctor Bones, a doctor from the university of Stonehenge, whose fraternity has lost their mascot: the golden dodo egg. They start by investigating the scene of the crime, where they discover that the case...
