Um, Im not sure theres any era in history that the English have been respected by everyone. I couldnt leave this assertion unquestioned, as even at its height England was influential but still had lots of antagonism, even from its allies and colonies.indeed for many Ciceros opinion might still...

I think monsters should be people, pets or creatures of horror. IRL Fey were once creatures of horror, but have become twee and ubiquitous as elves - "Elves are terrific, they beget terror!", same thing has happened to Orcs, which given they are near-human makes sense as we dont need fantasy...

I know I'm weird but I'm someone who likes to play the BW-type character, As much as I like the Hulk I also like skill monkeys, characters who dont have big flashy powers but who have the smarts and skills to attend to the little things, create a distraction, sneak in behind the Bad Guys and win...

sure, but Bucky with the shield is a darky grittier Captain - so anti-hero. Also the Supersoldier serum isnt the 'heroic boost' I was talking about, thats just their Powers. Steves Heroic Boost is the thing that lets him wield Mjolnir and why he can stand against Thanos or Thor and come to a...

I'm not disputing that Cap is a Superhero, and that is both because of his ethics and because of the 'heroic boost' he gets on top of being The Super Soldier - this is evidenced by Cap being able to take on Thanos and his ability to wield Mjolnir (as seen in the MCU). (as an aside, I think that...

I'd argue that Bucky and Black Widow arent superheroes. They are Super-spies, anti-heroes and so fit as genre adjacent.

The Birthright Community wiki features this Homebrew Random Events table by user Andrew Tall Its very comprehensive and not only gives the event table but also a list of example scenario seeds for each Event categorised as Boon or Minor/Major/Great Challenge and some by Nation. Its a helpful...

Thats another reason I like FATE - there is actually no 'rules' for dying in the game. A character thats defeated can be 'taken out' but what that actually means is up to the player/GM. If they decide its dead, then its dead - if they decide taken out means falls of a cliff, but the body was...

3E Stronghold Builder's Guide Fields of Blood D20 - Matt Colville warfare rules

I have my own system which essentially treats Domains/Factions as a Character with Attributes - Diplomacy (Cha), Military (Str), Economy (Con), Society (Wis), Academy (Int) and Mobility (Dex) used for Skills and Saves and then uses Aspect Tags to define Traits, Features and Assets. Domains also...

Lasers however take a whole lot more power than a barrage of missiles and the power needed for super long range lasers has to be generated somewhere and the waste heat dealt with too. Big ships might be the only option simply because of the amount of space that needs to be dedicated to powering...

Aria is less game and more world building exercise, you start by creating a map, determining topography, seasonal cycles and weather patterns and major geological features. Then you create Heritage Groups (Species, Nations, Cultures) and then start 'play' where you are essentially playing as a...

SO Book of Vile Darkness Warhammer style? Heh, Warhammer is fantastic but in a game where even the 'good' side is splattered in blood and gore I'm not sure how keen I'd be on playing a Champion of Chaos.

Fate dice are simple and so aren't a problem, but yeah other funky dice are just annoying. Hell I find d12s and even d8s to be annoying and yet they're considered 'standard'. and as an addition - what do you think of systems that use Playing Cards instead of dice?

I really enjoyed Alchemy of Souls, I've quite been enjoying the Historic Dramas too, theres a whole host of Joseon era movies which are fantastic - War of the Arrows, The Admiral and Shadows in the Palace (which has some supernatural elements)

England through the 18th to early 20th century? Any later than that is tempting the Mods

so what will future lizardpeople be wearing? Maybe floral shirts are making a comeback like bellbottoms or bobby sox, and we dont know that the multiple 'cellphones' being used aren't some kind of holographic projector or drone interface

the first display of dinosaur bones goes back to ancient times however - they just didnt know they were dinosaurs. For instance the Shoulder Blade of Pelops (a demigod) was once displayed in the Temple of Artemis in Greece until it disappeared in AD150. The Shoulder Blade of Pelops is believed...

The cost of going to another planet to make war probably means that complete obliteration of the planet is a terrible idea. You'd really want to send in ground troops and secure resources first - hence the need for ground troops.
