I love the idea of making them a malison (or a halfbreed as they were called in 2nd Ed.). I love the 2nd Ed. picture with the snake head and torso but arms. How does the player feel about turning into a yuan-ti? It might be worth an out of character talk to figure out how far they're willing...

Without edits I prefer option 2 because your father stays alive as an NPC and I like having NPCs in my backstory for the GM to use. If I could make edits, I would take option 1. I like the "misunderstanding" between what he did to your mother and why. I would keep your father alive but nix...

I find it helps to discuss what you're going for with the other players and GM. This brings to the forefront traits that you're interested in exploring with your character. This awareness of your intentions gives the others opportunities to playoff your character in ways that highlight those...

I got: Str 16 Dex 6 Con 8 Int 6 Wis 10 Cha 10 Want to make orc or dwarf fighter twins? We were reunited after being separated at birth and one of us has the Noble background and the other has the Folk Hero background.

Said you sailed a big ship, said you sailed away. Didn't know the right thing to say. I'd love to get a letter, like to know what's what. Hope the weather's good and it's not too hot for you

Dragonborn are nifty! (I have nothing important to contribute but I just noticed I only needed one more post to make 1500 and this was the thread at the top of the page.)

That reminds me of the original 2nd Edition wild mage. Most of the time spells cast by the wild mage had their level raised or lowered and the wild surge was an unpredictable side effect that occurred occasionally.

While you're here, do you have a tentative date for the Sentinels Kickstarter launch? No worries if there's not one yet or if you're unable to share. Thanks!

My group adapted SotM with Fate Accelerated but from this conversation, the system is a "new one that you've never heard of because it's brand new! It's also very cool." The dice it uses are "Standard polyhedral. d4 through d12" and SotM's game design director says, "From what I've seen, I'd...

I'm interested in seeing the Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG. Last I heard it's supposed to Kickstart in early 2016 and I guess we'll see when it'll actually be produced. Dresden Files Accelerated seconded! When is that scheduled to come out?

I'd love to play in a Fallout campaign. But I wouldn't need a specific TTRPG for it. It would run perfectly fine in Fate Core or Fate Accelerated.

Just one session, that's all I ask. :)

I recommend giving the approaches a try. We used FAE (with approaches as written) for a superhero game and it worked very well. It made heroes with similar powers play differently, as @overgeeked pointed out perfectly. My favorite part is that it gave each character competency in all arenas...

Mine too! We played through all of the HQ modules, then started writing our own. We wanted more options so I picked up the 2nd Ed. AD&D PHB, MM, and DMG and we started translating classes and races into HQ. Somewhere in the process I realized instead of translating complex rules for a simple...

Before disallowing the class I recommend making sure that it can't fit into your world. Too often I've seen GMs squander buy-in from players by nixing a character element (race, class, etc.) for fairly superficial reasons (it's personally not their cup of tea, it has no precedent in the...

We usually do point buy. Sometimes we'll do 4d6 drop the lowest, then to give everyone that sense of agency and fair play players choose from any of the rolled arrays.

I want to play an abyssal tiefling wild mage so, so very much! (Or swipe Abyssal Arcana and give it to a gnome or halfling.)

Watch Chinatown and L.A. Confidential. And Memento. And Touch of Evil. And Sin City. And Brick. I think the adventure should have a smaller scope. They should deal with situations that a small group of people care about rather than be an epic, saving the world campaign. It seems to me...

I backed 20 and received the reward for 12. Of the remaining campaigns 4 of them are on schedule, 2 are six months behind, 1 is one month behind, and 1 is a year and a half behind (with its reward supposedly coming within the month). Despite some delays each campaign has good communication and...

Here's the link to the 4E Gamma World Christmas adventure. It might be too cheesy for you but here it is... http://archive.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/duad/20101222
