A Radiant Citadel Model for a new Asia setting would be awesome to see. Perhaps The Court of Ten Thousand Realms that sit at the nexus of the Dragon Paths where spirits, gods, outsiders, dragons and mortal envoys gather to forge alliances, settle disputes, celebrate victories and share their...

people try to push that but Shifters face the same issues as Arrdlings - they are a lack of commitment. Ardlings dont satisfy people who want Furry races and they dont satisfy people who want Aasimars. Equally Shifters arent Furrys and arent really Lycanthropes, theyre a compromise. heneyokai...

Homebrew is my favourite part of the hobby, watching different ideas grow and develop through play. I do take premade stuff and adapt it to fit my worlds but even those are largely inspired by rather than raw

yeah when you learn that many pirates were infact Privateers employed by foreign governments and that they not only attacked ships but also besieged coastal ports and ventured up rivers and overland you see just how varied Pirate adventures can be and that Privateers and Freebooters can be...

yeah I recall the EGG discussion too, but they werent suppose to be reptiles. According to EGG they were suppose to be more ratty and doglike with scaley skin the artist interpreted scaley to be reptile scales and it stuck. They were egglaying though - which suggest Kobolds are suppose to be...

This - I'd much prefer that the ranger had advanced skills in exploration, wilderness survival, animal handling etc but in lieu of a better skill system something like LevelUps Ranger with its Knacks and archetype features works

There was once a arcade game called Pyrates or something which was a 3-d maze runner with a fantasy pyrate theme - including ship to ship battles, collecting gold and avoiding sea dragons. Each stage ended with a portal to the next stage/world. I used it for my own version of Not-Spelljammer...

Actually having the little reptilians be neotenic dragonborn would be great as it would free-up kobolds to go back to being rat-dog goblinoids instead. I could see a species with paedomorphosis like Axolotls that retain their neotenic forms until exposed to extreme magical environmental...

I think swamps as sources of disease and decay is the main reason they get a bad rep and the rot aspect in particular gets the Black dragons association with acid (rapid decay) and thus death

I've thought about doing a Birthright-style domain management campaign in the Dales, starting the PCs as local heroes in Harrowdale or Featherdale, doing minor rural adventures before being asked to escort the local envoy to the Dales Council and getting invoved in Courtly politics, Zhent...

yes in part, especially his "living on a mote of dust" and "no help from elsewhere" gives the vibe, plus the military and civilian scramble and a long line of alien invasion movies...

never heard of Legends but City of Mist is great and is that game that made the PbtA approach make sense to me, its aspect tags are much more freeform narrative and I like that

just on that trailer I'd be expecting it to be about a suspected alien invasion and if it's supposed to be a teaser I'd end up very disappointed when the aliens turn out to be just a stray missile maybe Ive been seeing too much of this Harvard scientist believes interstellar object blasting...

yeah I like to think of EN World as a quaint English pub, Morrus is the Guv'ner and the mods are the bouncers. The only rules that matter is we are here to have fun, Morrus makes the rules and dont be a dick Its been a good decade or more ago years ago now, but in the past there have been a...

Chinese Dragons also come in a variety of colours, though they tend to represent ideals rather than being coded in the manner of DnD dragons. The habitat associations arent there, nor the breath weapon or alignment. Gold: The most revered color, linked to divine power, Earth element, imperial...

LAKE TEAM - SUBJECT:SHEILD-9 - System Lag Bjorn surfaced with a frantic burst, swimming back towards them, but seemingly whatever he had encountered there had not pursued him. Shade-9 logged the report, confirming the threat risk, before turning his attention back to Guldred, who was calling...

It depends a lot on the intended game but generally I prefer PCs that are competent at what they do and generally heroic in deeds. I also tend to like playing up character troubles (flaws and disadvantages), as it makes their heroic deeds even more special when they are 'overcoming' an inherent...

which is why I like the Ravenloft style Dark Gifts - the player gets to choose what they are comfortable with 'sacrificing' - be it an ever present crow watching from the corner, bloodshot eyeballs or the chance of losing control for the sake of story.

I started using Dungeon Worlds fronts to establish the dangers and grim portents that the PCs might encounter in an area. I really like Fronts as they allow flexibility while keeping things focussed on adventure themes and clear portents that PCs can respond to and/or progress the clock...

I agree, my biggest complaint about this version is that they turned it into Monster High, yet we're still suppose to believe Wednesday is 'special' despite a relatively mundane power. Hopefully the next iteration of the Addams's will have them dwelling amongst normies
