Consider running it in Fate Accelerated. It'll give them the same taste as Fate but it's simplified--fewer aspects, simple stunts (although you can make them complex), and an intuitive skill system that needs very little explanation. Another boon of Fate Accelerated is that having approaches...

That's what my group does now that we lost one players, had two players turn into single parents, and one player had another child. It doesn't scratch the roleplaying itch for me but it works better with our hectic, erratic schedules.

The lich never returned so it wasn't completely wasted.

My friends did something similar. They defeated a lich but didn't know where its phylactery was. So they put the lich's corpse(?) into a bag of holding and poked a hole in it. If a sharp object pierces a bag of holding the bag ruptures and is ruined and all contents are lost forever. Take...

I like the Ring of Sustenance for the two hours of sleep needed. I had a Fighter with one in an urban campaign and it let her patrol the bad part of town at night superhero style and she was still active during the day. I'm a fan of the random items--Wand of Wonder, Deck of Many Things...

My friend ran a Halloween zombie one-shot using the Call of Cthulhu rules where the players statted out each other then played themselves. The GM played as himself until his character got sick and turned into the first zombie of the night. I think it would be cool to do a modern Heroes-like...

My group really liked No Disintegrations. You play bountyhunters and there are five different bounties that can be strung together for a sort of campaign. We were in high school when we played it and I have not looked at it again so maybe it doesn't hold up. But

You could modify the 2nd Edition Tome of Magic Wild Surge table. It has 100 options instead of 50, so that might expand your interest. It would require revamping at times because it has effects that are specific to 2nd Ed. and because some of the spells might function differently or not exist...

I tried it with making logic grids and couldn't figure it out. If you decide to go with it, I would remove many of the variables so it doesn't consume much game time.

That's similar to our PBEMs. It's more of a collaborative storytelling with a narrative, rather than numerical character sheet. They're tons of fun.

Or maybe a universal pet background. 4E had a theme (Fey Beast Tamer) that granted a pet. The theme's pet wasn't as powerful or detailed as the beastmaster ranger's pet but it allowed any character who wanted one to have a pet.

I'd like to see a revamp of the Tome of Magic Binder. It had wonderful flavor but mechanics seemed to leave it a jack of all trades and master of none. I think an updated 5E version and their bounded accuracy dynamic might make it a more viable class.

Do EN World silver subscribers from the Rebuilding EN World Kickstarter get access to these for free?

I'd love to see an ettin that would be played by two players.

Likewise. My group played it for a bit and that was one of critiques of it.

I'm not sure if you're joking but I recommend not trying to deal with it in the game. In-game restrictions will just present a hurdle for the player to avoid while being antagonistic. And messing with someone's character can create sore feelings instead of encouraging them to be a kind player...

Spot on conversion guide!

Likewise on both accounts!

Very cool! The other idea I was tossing around is a Malifaux version of Guglielmo Marconi who works for the Ten Thunders and is developing a radio machine to communicate remotely between Malifaux and Earth without the Guild's awareness.

What sort of characters are you going play? I'm leaning towards playing a resser who picks the brains of dead gangsters to learn their secrets so she can further her own extortion and criminal organization.
