Chaosium. Their mega-adventure for Call of Cthulhu 'At Your Door' is set in a fictional city that's a spiritual cross between LA and San Francisco. As such, it has a couple of gay characters (a lawyer and his young roommate, and a couple of young Wiccans), and it simply presents them as they are...

Take a look at the 'Carrion Crown' adventure path for Pathfinder. Each module features a classic horror creature or theme: ghosts/zombies, Frankenstein's Monster, Werewolves, Cthulhian monstrosities, vampires, etc. Obviously, you want the classic Universal monster films. I'd recommend...

Good news. Full season order, and the pilot just hit the most-watched CW showing, ever, something previously held by Arrow. I hope it continues to do as well.

I was looking at backing this, but the subscription model killed it for me. I might come in later if the promised editing functions and such come on line. For me to get on board, the program would have to allow me to do everything Campaign Cartographer can do PLUS all the interesting stuff about...

On the same marquee: Rita Farr, who was an actress before she became Elasti-Girl of the Doom Patrol.

He is; they've also cast Martin Stein as well, for the other half of Firestorm. I do hope that he turns out a hero instead of someone driven mad by being turned into energy - which of course is still a perfectly valid reaction to that, one would think :)

Man, Ultron's voice is pretty chilling. This is going to be one heck of a ride.

East Gantrick has a hidden Bardic College of Lore, the Truthsayers. Once they were a true secret society, hunted like animals by forces of the Mad King for daring to speak out against his excesses. As time went on and the Mad King fell, the Truthsayers gradually relaxed their rules to the point...

Most campaigns I've run, I've only had one restriction: you cannot multiclass a divine caster class with an arcane caster class. The viewpoints are so far apart from each other, it's like trying to mix oil and water.

A lot depends on the setting. The phrase 'mithril golems' really threw me for a loop because in my mind, there might be at most one such thing in the world, not acting like guards for a city, even a city of dwarves. They certainly don't have armies of Iron Golems. Perhaps if this was Eberron...

Cargo copters could also drop one in. Also would be useful for remote facilities, underwater labs, etc. Developing countries could certainly find one useful. Also, it could be the final trigger in the electric car revolution - even a small station like this could provide power to small...

1. 52 2. About 14 years 3. I have enjoyed both kinds of titles 4. Casual 5. Fantasy (I'm not really aware of any Urban Fantasy games out there except for Secret World) 6. Given the writeups, I would go for the second one because that sounds like an interesting game with a unique premise. Then I...

RE: Stagg Yeah, I do hate that they killed him, because with his skills and money he could be a perfect villainous enabler. I was thinking 'My, what is genetic genius Simon going to do with the 2 tons of uniquely malleable genetic material Flash dumped in his lobby, esp now that he needs a new...

Most monsters speak their own language. For the Golarion setting, there are the following human and non-human languages: Azlanti, Common, Dtang, Dwarven, Erutaki, Goblin, Hallit, Hon-la, Hwan, Jistka, Kelish, Minatan, Minkaian, Orc, Osiriani, Osiriani-Ancient, Polyglot, Shadowtongue, Shoanti...

One time I played with a group that somehow managed to interpret that the phrasing in the 3.0 or 3.5 book regarding low strength and bows actually meant that you increased damage with a bow when you had a negative strength modifier. That was cleared up, as I recall, with a short discussion about...

Currently reading: The Prophecy Con, sequel to The Palace Job. If you like humorous fantasy and don't care that characters can get the occasional cappuccino or check their message crystal, this is the book for you. It's a fantasy heist novel, combining two of my favorite genres. Wake of the...

Just watched The Signal and The Rover. The Signal is probably the best SF I've seen since Moon. The Rover, despite occurring in 'Australia: Ten Years After The Collapse', is not a Road Warrior take. It feels like it has twice the violence of all three of those movies combined, just because it's...

As has been noted in a couple of other threads, lots of lots of authors from '75 on have been influenced in some way by D&D, even second- and third-hand. The vast majority of modern fantasy, I would say, has wizards on par with a lot of D&D wizards save in books (like, just to pick something at...

I am back after playing Pathfinder. During the initial days of 4E, we were doing Mutants and Masterminds for 18 months or so and thus when we came back to fantasy we picked up Pathfinder. None of the the groups I played with or talked with ended up going with 4E. We've played Pathfinder ever...

Yeah, since 2009 ratings have been adjusted based on time-shifting caused by DVRs; traditional 'broadcast' TV numbers can show a significant jump within 7 days after the initial show. I was surprised that AoS was renewed, but I think that the change in focus and promise of many more...
