The game designers don't even get spells right. This idea that somehow an arcane spell is sacrosanct (irony!) the moment it appears in a PC playable species only (weird) repertoire is fundamentally flawed. The GM is not there to provide you the perfect experience. They are there to play the...

Firefly and BG both have been adapted.

Whatever one your running, my dude.

What do you need all the detail for? "In the Tomb of Fallen Selves, a character's own shadow can animate and work against the character. These shadows are not combatants but can perform frustrating actions such as blowing out light sources, interrupting rests and frustrating stealth attempts."...

What? Lol. "The GM is not allowed to adjust thing for balance because the players deserve to have the unbalanced thing too!" No. The thing that works for a single use encounter is not necessarily a thing that works for a PC. But then, I avoid this by not giving PCs access to these things at...

Videogames need "previously on" buttons. I often play a game for 10 o 20 hours but then leave it be for a while. What sucks is when I try and go back to it, I dont remember the controls, or the story, and I ultimately end up abandoning it rather than starting over (because I know I will only...

That is a gloriously messed up idea.

Too literal. It's a fantasy game.

Im.not sure how either of those things apply. In Watchmen, no one is super (well,one guy, buy I don't think Manhattan is a PC). And in The Boys, everyone but the PCs is super.

Cozy at least is a genre that is up and coming in TTRPGs.

While I agree,I have long wanted to try and run a "you are supers but no one else is" campaign and just see what happens. I have never had the opportunity tho.

As one does.

What if they are audibly silent but can still be sensed? A wrongness in the area or a sensation of chill (classic ghost stuff)?That way you could still utilize "perception checks" to whatever degree you wanted, but not make them make noise.

I was sort of trusting (general) you to be able to figure it out yourselves....

I don't think rating a thing needs to be in comparison to anything else. I liked Superman 2025. Great fun movie. I don't need to rate it in comparison to any of the other Superman things.

I just assumed you were prepping or writing for Pirate Borg.

That first one is Empire of Blue Water, btw. Which looks really great. Thanks! (I have read the other two.)

I really need a new audiobook for my commute. I have kind of run out of WW2 era espionage books, and books about the history of video games, comics and RPGs. I need a really compelling nonfiction narrative but no true crime.

Yeah, it seems very strange to me that some people think OSR=low level and that's the defining feature.

I went with 5 as well. It's... fine, I guess, but also not fine in places. And after I finish my current campaign I won't be running it again (and it is probably my last 5E campaign overall).
