Who made the food has no particular impact on my enjoyment; if the food is good, then I like it! That said, one of my favourite restaurants is a Chinese place named after a Persian location, run by a Chinese lady, managed by an Ecuadorian, where the cooks are from Korea and Argentina, the...

I backed both Kickstarters and played for a while. Though I have high hopes that the game will eventually become an excellent niche piece, right now it's a bit outside my scope of enjoyment. In particular, I think the interface and responsiveness are so uncomfortable they detract from the...

The Merciful Healer archetype + the Restoration Subdomain you linked are, I think, the closest ones to what you're looking for. Other things I can think of: -The Purity Subdomain (APG) lets you give a creature a saving throw against each and every effect currently affecting it (assuming it...

Ars Magica and Warhammer Fantasy. Got my group to play them both at different times in the past, but they seem to have developed some sort of allergic reaction to both. "It's too complicated!" they say on the former; "Playing a Bone Picker with leprosy who's down by one arm by the first 20...

Considering a year in Internet time is like an eon of real time, this is like the ancient Egyptians showing up and saying "Our pyramids haven't shrunk appreciably in the last five millennia".

It's going along excellently. Well done! Still amazed with how big of a chunk goes through Myth Weavers + EN World.

Somewhere around 450 as of last year's counting. I've been holding back on further acquisitions and getting only essential stuff (like 5e) or get-it-now-or-never (like the Numenera Reliquary), as I'm moving into a new home in December (bought the place in late 2013, but working had to be halted...

We still use that method in our games. I always remove Identify spells and similar effects, and instead have the players rely on Detect Magic, deduction, and experimentation. A Spellcraft/Arcana roll might help give some general insight once the aura has been identified, but I think it adds far...

I enjoy science fantasy on occasion (though I'm eagerly awaiting the Numenara reliquary from the Kickstarter). In general, however, I tend to prefer fantasy on one dish and science fiction on another. I'm a big fan of steampunk (of the more "gentleman adventurer" variety than the "smoke-belching...

Frank Chadwick's Space 1889 is one of my favourites. The central theme is that space travel became a possibility in the XIX century with solar boilers and this resulted in European colonialism extending beyond planet Earth. The Solar System is based on one of the models that used to be popular...

I really enjoyed the playtest, and so did my players. I ran them through a modified version of the Tomb of Horrors (but with a small graveyard outside, where the characters would wake up if killed, while a bell started to crack every time it happened. Basically, some 1-UPs so they could last...

I think we're still too early in the 5e cycle to be completely sure how the game is going to develop. Though, in general, I like that those in charge have chosen to give it a different spin and see how we react. I expect a more "Let's try this, gather data, then steer the ship as needed"...

Oooh! I love them! I'll most certainly back the KS once you put it up!

For me, the coolest historical equivalent of the D&D Bard are the performer-duelists from the Spanish Golden Age. Think of guys like Francisco de Quevedo and Luis de Gongora, who spent their time reciting poetry in the streets (often ridiculing each other), then meeting at taverns to tell...

Simplified monsters are by far my favourite thing about 4e. It makes improvising monsters (something I do basically every session) much easier.

I've been considering giving out loot using Rai Coins (giant stone disks used in, of all places, the tiny Micronesian islands of Yap. Value depends on size, age, and history of the coin, with the priciest ones measuring over 10 feet in radius, 600 years in age, and so heavy they require 20 men...

One thing I'd love to see is either a series of short books or a hefty 400-page hardcover giving a general take on classic settings, such as Dark Sun, Planescape, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Birthright, and Mystara, enought to get the ball rolling but focusing mostly on the fluff. I'm thinking of...

On average, my main campaigns (to differentiate them from the short ones we play to try out new games or which are done for special occasions) last between 2-3 years, and though we use different characters for each (except one time about 12 years ago, when three of my players asked to reutilize...

I'm DMing a Planescape campaign, and for a moment I pondered the possibility of including a group of kender NPCs from Krynn springing forth from inside a particularly large Bag of Holding. Then I slapped my own face, took a cold shower, and didn't talk to myself again for two weeks.
