You got lucky. I got forced to read 3 zane grey novels. That was I, Mordred. Which I mentioned above. Noble Nights and Noble Steeds are the two least BSDM-looking covers, I, Mordred the next tier.. I wish Avalanche's owners would rerelease those three in PDF... Their Nordic ones are decent.

Many of us had friends go through it. It existed. It was, and in some places, still is, accepted behavior. My buddy from high school, D.C., was abused to begin with. RPGs were an escape from the horribly psychologically abusive mother. When she found out, she went sideways. After high school...

That doesn't mean it's a good idea. A knight's life is hard enough without things scarier than the Fey... I don't remember faerie knights in Mabinogion or LeMorte, but there are enough Faerie stories in Arthuriana that Faerie nights. When the Arthurian stories do go horror, it's not modern...

was my first ziplock owned, SFB was first played. Everywhere SVC turned Left with SFB, he turned Right with Starfire.

False assumption. An note on god vs God; many people I know reject capitalization for any but their own god; standard English is God as proper noun, god as common. I'm using the lowercase on purpose. See, the thing is, with D&D classes... Only the casters can be certain. A cleric, druid, or...

The setting for those comes from the game. Note that since the 1975 introduction, the "Ion Engine" — not actually a thruster, but it leaves a trail of even more ionized gas in its 10% C wake...— is required to trigger a warp point's action... and said trigger blows up operating fusion plants...

Wed. Gp, - Daggerheart, Variant Beast Feast. Side Quest, ibīdem, ibīdem, ibīdem.

That description is very much like the 1980's descriptions of Warp Point travel in the wargame Starfire (Steven V. Cole, sold to Task Force Games; when TFG closed, sold to fans. TFG's Starfire line editor was David Webber, best known for Honor Harrington.)

Mote in Gods Eye is the same universe as the Falkenberg's Legion series, but at the other end of the Empire's history. Both excellent series.

My preferences are for a navy that makes sense given the non-realistic tech of the setting. I'm not a fan of kilometer+ long capital ships; in Traveller terms, my non-OTU settings cap at 20,000 Td. (380,000m³ volume, ~ 4 million metric tons mass) The TOS USS Enterprise is about 19,000 Td...

2E and 1E are significantly different. Somewhere, I've my 3" CD of EABA 1e - Playtesters were sent one with a couple settings and the core. I participated, but dropped out of, the 2e playtest on EABA. Didn't like the added convolutions. It is obscure, but it's Excellent. CORPS is a very...

MERP ain't likely to legally happen (Pirates have had it online since about 2000...), but there are two options for very similar - ICE's own HARP, and a psudoclone, Against the Dark Lord (VsDL).

my favorite neoarthurian is the episode of Babylon 5...

It shows medieval Dominicans. Dominicans are essentially Benedictines with a charism for teaching, and a great model for the anachronistic friars of Pendragon and of them in Le Morte. It is as much a medieval mood piece. MP&THG, meanwhile, instastnaps me out of an Arturian mode.... to the point...

He's only moving backward in a few versions.

Never saw it. But, given the cast... Mab is in several variations and ways. Prior to White, pretty much every version reconsiders and reworks a lot. And they're all anachronistic to a degree, but White's Once and Future King is, for many, unreadably Victorian. There is a pretty decent...

I found Tribe 8 hard to get into from the 1e... but $50 for PDF? not gonna happen for me.

Yeah, it's a great temptation. In an irony, it leaves the crit rate stll 1/12... 10/120 vs 12/144. But it also ups the odds of fear. but it's also only a net -1 to the average and -2 max.

They have not accounted for the several 1st level abilities that allow totals up to +6 at level 1... They haven't explicated their numerical ranges. And the "+4" in best area? Requires spending a hope on the experience. Also fails to mention that the GM rolls d20's, instead of the Duality...
