AD&D1e, Avalon campaign: Oracle gives four word answers.

AD&D1e, Avalon campaign: Research: puzzling geology, ancient memories.

No, it isn't. English spelling is pretty logical, if you know the six languages that have contributed to its vocabulary, and the the history of each word's mutilation. For some values of "communicate."

An idea: if you want to retain AC, have hit points steadily increase, and not have hit locations, then modern armour might act as a damage cap. This kind of plate caps damage at 15, for example, while another caps damage at 20. The rationale for this is that the dice roll for damage represents...

We went after the bones of another Fairie Lord from the group that unintentionally became the Wild Hunt, centuries after their deaths. Fiorn was killed early in their saga, so the verses about him are a bit obscure, but they allowed locating his grave easily. That didn't make it simple, however...

GURPS 4e Cold War Pulp: Night of the twelve-tone terror.

AD&D 1e, Avalon Campaign: More Fairie bones, barrier survived.

There re two conceptual problems here: First, modern plates are not intended to let you ignore being shot at. Armour that can do that against rifles is too heavy to move in. They're intended to prevent you getting instantly killed. The hope - and it is hope - is that hits outside the covered...

The dominant religion on Avalon is Mammon, god of economic success. It has the most worshippers by a very long way. The quantity and level of clerics, paladins and other clerical spell casters that a religion can empower in Avalon is dependent of the number of worshippers. The Church of Mammon...

AD&D1e, Avalon campaign: Party priorities conflict: fetch mission!

RQ:AiG Ogres, Jack-O-Bear, tough fight.

I'd search for photographs taken through microscopes. The keyword is "histology" and there's a university image bank here.

A combination of mind control magic and flattery worked fine. Then someone blew the road from the isolated coastal villa where he was staying. We suspect someone in the pay of the Gestapo; the crudeness matches. Since the characters have a luxury flying-boat, this didn't seem like a huge...

Walis Windsor in flat shoes.

It isn't a new game, but GURPS does what you want. Getting shot once with a pistol is fairly survivable, but a rifle hit is a very serious matter, and a machine-gun burst just means you're dead. I've been playing and running an occult WWII campaign for many years, and characters in that don't...

You're lucky to still exist!

Our wizard acquired a tower a few years ago, which has belonged to a succession of wizards. There's a nexus point in the lowest sub-basement, and she's spent several months getting better at operating it. As she masters the routes to four different worlds it offers, she'll be able to draw...

AD&D1e, Avalon campaign New world, no gods, safe.

GURPS 4e Cold War Pulp Send scientists, psychics and cynics!

There is a mysterious well, which has darkness and elemental water magic in it. It's about 16 feel in diameter, about 250 feet deep, with about 190 feet of water in it. The darkness starts at water level and continues to the bottom (or does it? - writing these posts helps me spot things I missed...
