I felt 4e solo monsters worked well. They were generally designed well to do so. It was a disappointment to not have that good design in 5e, though it is easy enough to add in on your own (hp multiplied by number of pcs, area attacks instead of single target ones, resist stun lock type...

Increasing some powerful species traits to be +1 CR seems a very simple manageable way to do a template that will not break CR. The problem with 3e templates was a lot of high CR adjustments would create imbalanced glass cannons as their core combat stats of attack bonuses and AC and hp and...

They are fey now.

I feel very familiar with 3.5 and PF1e Golarion, less so with new details from PF2e Golarion. I have things like the giant 2e Garund sourcebook as a PDF, but I have not read it yet. In my homebrew mashup setting that I ran paizo APs in using PF1e and 5e I use a lot of Golarion mashed up with a...

My favorite is the Nutcracker. My sympathies are with the Rat King though.

The Road to Monsterberg, Secret of the Golden Hills 3.5 Gertruda, Ghost: There are a number of popular legends associated with the mine. There is a ghost named Gertruda who was the wife of a miner lost during an accident in the mine. She went looking for him in the mine after the cruel owners...

I find the AI assistant in adobe reader very intrusive and slows everything down when I try and do a search in a pdf. Very annoying.

I have passed on getting third party stuff that initially looked interesting once it was clear it was AI generated content. I expect I would feel the same way about WotC stuff.

:) My only complaint for their stats narratively is the high wisdom on both. Maybe I would put the Gray Mouser as CN, but alignment is so subjective that N can work.

This varied significantly by book, the vikings one is fairly full on D&D with some class exceptions (no mages but five specialist wizard classes allowed and a new runecaster class plus rune magic for everyone, no paladins but a new berserker class allowed, no clerics or druids but all the Norse...

New cuddly friend, pocket rat!

AD&D had plenty of representations of fictional exemplars who were high level in D&D stats. You just have to look in Deities & Demigods (1e) The series of recurring Down to Earth Heroes articles in Dragon, and 2e Legends & Lore. Mostly they were baseline a bit above what PCs could do with...

Two separate possibly overlapping and stacking abilities? For a while I have thought OSR thieves should be designed to balance as variant light armor fighters instead of as variant wizards since thief skills, sword usage, tough to pull off backstab, and the slight bump in leather armor AC and...

Making my way through the Girl Genius graphic novels and enjoying them. I just finished volume 8 last night. Many, many characters show the same trait of being seemingly pleasant and normal then a panel of being cleverly ruthless as a punchline, but it is light fun and I enjoy the steam punk...
