I'm working on an RPG system in which you customize your own class, selecting multiple talent trees. In brainstorming ideas, I find that I sometimes thing of talent trees based on concept (e.g. witch hunter, paladin) and sometimes based on function (e.g. necromancy, sword-and-board). I'd like...

The 'influences' section of the core rulebook?

I don't even know what iron rations actually are, you insensitive clod! How can I suggest something that's not if I don't know what is?

Don't get caught up in the title. It's got Lovecraftian window dressing, but it's really an anime-inspired action RPG. In fact, it's basically a Guyver/Neon Genesis Avengelion/Macross RPG, and any Lovecraft found in it is because of the Lovecraftian influences of those anime series.

To save others the effort of looking it up, in TWotG you roll a pool of d10s, then you can take a set of dice showing the same number (2 of a kind, 3 of a kind, etc). Multiply the number of dice by 10, then add the actual number the dice show. For example, a pair of 3s would be 23, a single 7...

To be fair, the kitchen sink thing was an explicit design goal. I think they even used the line "If it's in D&D, it's in Eberron." Whether that's an admirable goal or not I leave for you to decide...

Just as an example of a wildly popular fantasy setting with guns, see the Warcraft universe. Warcraft is fantasy first and foremost, but there's a very heavy dose of steampunk thrown in there with pseudo-technology and, of course, very common guns. On a different tack, I've been reading the...

Skeleton crew downloaded itself to my kindle yesterday. :) Unfortunately I've just begun The Scarab Path by Adrian Tchaikovsky, so I'm not going to be able to read Skeleton Crew until I finish that. :/

You seem to be confusing Final Fantasy with anime (which, I suppose, is understandable... It certainly has more in common with animation than with games). That said, I wouldn't call Thundercats anime strictly because it wasn't made for a Japanese audience (as far as I know). I would, however...

I... That... Wow. I don't know how it's humanly possible to list off things like that with the implication of having a negative opinion on them.

It's visually striking, and to be honest I had sort of a kneejerk reaction to dislike it just because it looks like it's trying to be fancy for no particular reason. That said, after examining it a bit, it does actually seem like a very nice sheet. I like the fact that it's landscape. When...

I wrote on a setting I call Rise of the Godlings, which is super hero-meets-fantasy. The basic idea is that the universe has decided it's time for a new pantheon of gods, and so mortals are being born with incredible powers and the potential to, eventually, become gods.

It's not.

Just had the lysol one, and then it was followed by another which I managed to stop before it started... The second one was in Japanese, and clicking it just paused/played the ad.

I'm sad that there's no mention of Piers Anthony's Xanth series, a comedy/fantasy set in the land of Xanth where everyone has a magical power.

Simple question... How much have you played around with designing languages?

This thread is going to outlast ENWorld.

I think it's not that uncommon, although to the degree he does it perhaps it is... Tell him to pick his dice when it's not his turn. Alternatively, tell him regardless of when or why he rolls them, he gets the worst result among all dice he rolls on his turn. There's nothing wrong or even...

Continuing in the Shadows of the Apt series... finished book 2 (Dragonfly Falling), now onto book 3 (Blood of the Mantis).

It's called FATAL. And it's terrible, from what I hear.
