“I am the people’s servant” lands differently when you’ve literally been a butler, yeah. While other groups have had some grand moments, and some big philosophical highlights, I think your version of ZEITGEIST had some of the best understated personal connections among characters. I'm excited...

I've been playing a lot of BG3. Just use Thunderwave, Ezra! Punt them death troopers off the why-do-the-bad-guys-never-install-railings edge of the tower.

Maybe they can get Liev Schreiber for Baylan2.

Well, Quantumania almost was a story about Ant-Man reconnecting with his daughter. The trailer had that line that Kang could give him back the time he had lost, and man, that could have been neat. Eternals was basically a family dispute centered around a political disagreement, which was...

The show was decent, and if I had editing skills I'd chop out about 10% of each episode's unnecessary . . . slow . . . pauses . . . for . . . drama. Just do stuff, and if you need drama, get John Williams Kevin Kiner to have the music do the heavy lifting. Like, we don't need a 60 second scene...

I've been neck-deep in Baldur's Gate 3 this past month, and the temptation of 'dealing with all the sidequests while losing focus on the main plot' is real.

Along roads through regions without proper settlements where one might find shelter, the high temples of the nation have set up small shrines every three miles, which create a sanctuary effect and repel undead and extraplanar creatures, so travelers might sleep easily. You must make some sort...

As others pointed out, her idea started way back in 2002 as a "fantasy superhero" concept - The Halfling Titan. The art we had of her showed her throwing a wagon at a 20-ft tall goblin. Later I decided to name drop her in ZEITGEIST as a former queen renowned for wrestling giant foes. And when...

I don't know if this will make it into the character sheet, but when I did my write up for her, this was her background. Hook Stronger than her size belies, Zidi is touched by fey magic. Though hunted by minions of her gremlin godmother, Zidi hopes to use her powers to defeat those who think...

My only note is that the character sheet ought to mention her carrying capacity. Which, since she's got an 18 strength and every option available to increase her carry limit, is ridiculous.

It's been twenty years. They built a new one.

There's a Storyhour forum, if you scroll a bit further down the message boards.

For everything that casters can currently do that seems problematic, the rulebook could have a section with secular solutions. Teleport? Well here's how much it costs to charter a boat or hire a guide. Scrying? Spy network. Stuff like that.

I played in a Star Wars game where one of my friends had the character concept of very friendly, nice person who wanted to force choke people and shoot force lightning, so he had to keep on committing arbitrary acts of cruelty just to keep his dark side points high enough. He would always...

Yeah, IIRC Bendu says he's 'the one in the middle,' but that could just mean 'one who refuses to take sides between the Jedi and the Sith, and who just uses the Force without worrying about whether it's pure or tainted.'

I use the Green Side of the Force. I cast Craw Wurm!

He ends up stranded in another another dimension galaxy, and then Filoni makes a series where John Boyega and Oscar Isaac run into him. Because Filoni's job is apparently taking Star Wars that's crappy and eventually building enough audience sympathy with the characters that fans like it again...

Man, if only I could write compelling drama as quickly as I hammer out political screeds on reddit.

I mean, the book I'm 80,000 words into from last year is heavily inspired from a Pathfinder game I ran with a party of all paladins, but transposed to a Bronze Age world I've designed myself, where certain people are able to dictate divine laws into stone or clay tablets (think the Ten...
