    Worlds of Design: Only Human

    Culture should be associated with species because the latter created the former over a period of time. It's the social contract that members of that species created thru consensus to determine amongst themselves as to what was right and what was wrong, what traditions they were going to develop...

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    No, but they can certainly try. I think PF1 was just as bad in this department as 3e was. ;)

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    It wouldn't be a book. It would be a tome. The Tome of Dragons. ;)

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    How about bringing some of the 4e dragons into 5e? ;) 4e added some new Chromatic and Metallic dragons into the mix.

    Worlds of Design: Only Human

    Maybe you should take a look at Level Up's Destiny feature? It provides the PCs a reason to leave behind their homes, their friends and their jobs to undertake an adventure well outside their comfort zone.

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    Yeah, it would have been interesting to see some of the 4e dragons, like the Cobalt dragon and the Orium dragon, appearing in this book. Make it a book on True Dragons. ;)

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    My copy of D&D: The Book of Dragons showed up on my doorstep around 5 pm EST today. :) Right now most of my attention is on the two-page spread on the Dragonborn aka the Ash-Marked Ones. Any idea on why they are sometimes called the Ash-Marked Ones? Page one on the Dragonborn provides a bit of...

    Worlds of Design: Only Human

    In the Shadowrun setting, all of the metahuman races are still members of Homo sapiens. Elves are Homo sapiens nobilis. Orks are Homo sapiens robustus. Halflings are a metavariant of Dwarves from the British Isles.

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    The second half of this post has a loophole. ;)

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    It's easier to be subjective than objective about something. Being objective means you have to put aside any biases you might have and for some that's not any easy thing to do as it's a part of who they are.

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    True. She could have done that, but then she would have left in order to spend some time getting Thanos out of her hair, off her skin and out of her uniform. :p A little too close and personal even for her. :p Edit: This scenario did happen btw between Superman and the Flash in DC's DCeased...

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    As a fan of Mutants and Masterminds 2e, I liked using the RPGs Point Buy system to create customizable superpowers that make your character feel unique and thematic.

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    4e wasn't better, it was too different and didn't look or feel like its' predecessor for anyone who was into 3e/3.5e. So when Paizo came out with 3.75e D&D (aka Pathfinder 1st edition), fans of 3e flocked to it. Changing from one edition to the next one should be gradual. Something old and...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    If your character had wings or the ability to breathe air/water, you certainly would have a different outlook on life. You and your species would be able to do things the other species couldn't do without the aid of magic or technology. And as a result might look at those who don't have your...

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    They're probably thinking the same thing. "How is it that I am flying with wings like these again?!?" :p

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    Sometimes a race or several related races become evil, not because of their own doing, but because of the acts of a deity. Goblinoids (or Goblinkin as they are called in the Exandria setting) became the way they are because of the actions of a deity. From the Critical Role Wiki: During the...

    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    Heritage in Level Up covers traits such as size, speed, age, senses and a signature trait such as Elven trance or a Dragonborn's breath weapon. A character is born with these traits. As for a Heritage Gift , it's essentially is a feat you were born with. Are they racial? Probably not since race...
