At my table it depends on the tier. 2-3 at T1 and going up from there.

Yeah, I more or less agree with this. Having too much invested in the story coming out the way you want it is honing to make a rod for your own back. I take the view that arc encounters only really need to be about 20% of encounters.

My group are definitely not theatrical in that way. They seem to prefer a strong story that they can be part of, influence it’s outcomes and have laugh. But most of us are in our late 40s early 50s

I really enjoyed AvP and even have some love for AvP:R but A:R is a better film by far.

What about Warlock, Ranger and Paladin spell lists? I’m not sure the old concepts of arcane, divine and primal map too well with the class based spell lists.

I’m sure I saw on a screen of her bio (in the film) that she was looking at in an early scene that she is called Marie Raines Carradine. But everyone calls her Rain.

Isn’t Rain’s first name Marie?

Which is a shame because it means an Eldritch Knight cannot take the Paladin spell ‘Compel Duel’.

I’ve got the new PHB. Can confirm it just has class based spell lists and doesn’t seem to mention Arcane or Divine at all.

Shadowrun uses (or at least it used to) ‘archetypes’. You could easily whip up a few iconic builds on a full page spread so players could jump right in. Not quite pregens but archetypes.

Thinking about it, you can’t go wrong with using Synnibarr. It’d be perfect. I’ll see myself out.

Yeah that’s it. Really detailed crit hit tables. You could lose eyes and shoot xeno chins off.

There’s an old Amazing Engine game called Bug Hunters that did a good job of an Aliens game. Also the Leading Edge crunchfest Aliens: The Roleplaying Game.

I might be missing something but when I read crunchy urban fantasy I thought immediately of Shadowrun.

Decided to stay up to watch the Election but got totally side tracked with the PDF of the Void Runner's Codex! I'm running an A5E game currently and can see a side trek to the local planets hoving into view. The Xenid are right up my ally and I can finally use these rules to recreate my old...

And poorly pencilled feet.

Yeah, throw in smuggled booze and fags and that’s my childhood.

It should have background music from Tech Noir on Pico.

Thanks!

I'm Gen X. Frankly I associate D&D more with fellow Gen Xers than anyone.
