All we need is a fourth class and we have a potential Suicide Squad.

They were limited entirely by what the DM would allow them to have, but overall... it had a massive effect. Rapid travel across an entire continent was pretty common, as well as rapid travel to other continents. Flying without need of the fly spell was also common, to the point you had more...

The setting is the 1920s-era adventure films and stories, like Tarzan and Indiana Jones, only with magic instead of technology. In the first core Eberron book, it talked massively about mass production of magic items. An NPC class was even created for the setting to match this (the magewright)...

One of the ways we know the Earth is round is because all measurements attempting to approximate the Earth's shape, going back far enough they may even predate writing in some cultures, show it to be round. I think it was by the era of the Ancient Greeks that we had enough of an idea of Pi to...

I've stated elsewhere I don't think Eberron as a setting is really compatible with 5E. The core assumptions that are essential to Eberron don't exist this time around.

I purchased N.E.W. on Drivethru and decided to check the publisher's website out.

Well, um... They get an A for effort? It's an interesting class, and one I would play, but if it's an attempt to replicate the Eberron artificer, someone really needs to sit them down with a copy of the 3E Eberron book and make them read the entire class write-up. This feels more like a...

The idea of marrying a Nereid by stealing her clothing is relatively-modern Greek fairy tale. I traced it to Women of Turkey and their Folk-Lore, which then led me to The Science of Fairy Tales where it talks about the fairy tale being modern. Both of these are from 1891, putting this fairy tale...

I'll admit I'm cautiously excited. If these are updated right, I can see a lot of people being happy. Wrong, and I don't want to be anywhere near that firestorm.

That's because it's a fairy tale from much later in human history. In classical myth, Nereids more tended to be married by simply kidnapping them or holding them down until they gave up. Edit: I said Turkish originally for the culture, but I'm not so sure. Going to hunt that one down a bit. But...

Yes, I have. And I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if two of the players are a couple. I let myself get talked into running d20 Modern using the players themselves as the characters. This should go just fine, right? I mean, what are the chances it could go wrong? These players had been...

Sadly, that's based on actual mythology. Selkies are common myth victims of it as well. And I think djinn fell victim to it on occasion too. Part of why I really love DnD is that we can have these monsters without the bits of their myth that were really squicky. And I'm hoping they keep that in...

The other half is to test how much alcohol must be in someone's system before the gelatinous cube gets intoxicated.

Use urine of a species the monster fears. Splash someone in the party with it and have them go first. Alternatively: Splash an enemy with the urine of the monster's favorite prey, then stand back and watch the chaos.

Why would we find it irrational? Humans do such all of the time, and there are several conflicts right now spawned by that motivation. I would say it depends on the tech. Advances in farming tech would probably be the biggest items people would use espionage over. Advances in weaponry... not...

The Big Bang? It wasn't the first. Took us fifty tries to get it right. Kept resulting in universes where the planets were square or were discs balanced on the backs of elephants that stood on turtles.

I'm trying to figure out how Dungeon Fantasy got on there. Nearly the entire thing has been released already. I might be misinformed. @Morrus Are you happy to see your products on there? :D

My ideas: 1) Energy actually is limited, due entirely to the amount of time and energy it takes to build infrastructure. While the power sources could provide theoretically-limitless energy, they can do that only after they're built. As such, worlds that are ripe for less powerful, but much...

The most gonzo? The Devil Toaster of Milwaukee. Remember that experiment from the Ghostbusters movies, where they made a toaster dance by pouring that slime in it and playing music? The party tried it with ectoplasm in a toaster in a GURPS game. As soon as they plugged it in and pulled down on...

N.O.W., if I guess right on plans to release material for it this year. The last Modern-type RPG of that nature I really enjoyed that wasn't superhero or Hero system was d20 Modern. Otherwise, I'm cautiously optimistic about Starfinder.
