    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    I'd associate Macau with T'u Lung as a former pirate enclave which has developed Trade Networks with foreign Rakshasa merchants. The Rakshasa have built both merchant houses and gambling dens which have become popular. The Rakshasa have also brought strange foreign clerics with them who have...

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    I've been thinking about Cultivation and what this means for Species like Kitsune or Vanara. For instance Sun Wukong despite being born of a stone egg begins life as a normal monkey, a mortal beast, ignorant and joyful, until he witnessed the death of another monkey and so dared to ask "how may...

    Playing AS monsters?

    A bit, mostly one-shots. Everything from goblins and orcs, through to Ghosts to Movie Monster style monster squads (Snake-Lamia, Flesh golem, Werewolf and Mummi) I even played a Willowisp psion once (does that count as a monster?). They are all on the "good" side though even if they arent good...

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    Theres a dynamic and growing RPG community in Korea with interest in DnD. Elves and Espresso is a game store cafe in Seoul. So not catering to that growing market would be a misstep. There are a couple of 3rd party products with Koryo material and lots of Fantasy K-Drama movies to draw...

    Would Red Dwarf fit that - last human survivor on a derelict ship with a robot a hologram and an evolved cat?

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    Very much this, there are a tonne of Asian writers and designers in Asia - China, Japan, Korea, South East Asia who could be brought in to design a dynamic fantasy setting. I'd love to see a set of adventures akin to Radiant Citadel which then get expanded into their own culture-zones. Maybe...

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Yeah, I always preferred Banneret as their name as it tied more to the Knight Commander they the class entailed. The Purple Dragon Knight lore origin starts with Prince Azoun (later King of Cormyr) who with the Cormyr military and Court Wizard managed to kill two dragons. In particular the...

    I've just realised - Doctor Who is also about a dangerous criminal in a stolen spaceship

    Purple Dragon Knight Retooled as Banneret in D&D's Heroes of Faerun Book

    Yeah the Drakewarden is a great class and very well done, its needs more love :) I'm happy they've gone back to Banneret, even if the old version was a bit weak, it was a good support fighter - of course they should just go all in and call it Warlord/Marshal. I think the Purple Dragon Knight...

    Musings on Sci Fi Campaigns/Adventures

    Blake-7 was very popular in the Anglosphere, even if it only got limited runs in the US and elsewhere. So given the ENWorlds demographic I guess its at least well remembered by a few of us

    TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT: SHADE-9 With the Cultist contained and surrounded inside the transporter, Shade-9 scanned the structure itself, paying particular attention to the red crystal. There position had been compromised and there was no way of knowing how many mercenaries might follow. Was there...

    D&D General Whom keeps the torches lit?

    Your dungeons arent all infested with bioluminescent slimes? What do the Gelatinous cubes feed on when there are no adventurers around?

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    Yeah thats another DnD trope which is a bit diabolical really. Devils are all about temptation and offering irrestible bargains that cost your immortal soul but the stats and art make them all battle beast ready to rend your flesh.

    Worlds of Design: Who Gets the Crown?

    There were at least 12 Female Pharoahs of Egypt and 5 female Emperors in China, they make for some extraordinary characters. My current campaign takes place during the War of Spanish Succession 1701 - 1714 after Charles II of Spain died without issue and the Dutch-British-Austrian Alliance...

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    According to the He-Man Writer Larry DiTillio Granamyr was lifted from a Tunnels and Trolls module that DiTillio wrote - The Isle of Darksmoke. Darksmoke is also the name of Granamyr's tower in the Ice Mountains of Eternia. DiTillio said that he used Granamyr because he wanted to have an...

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    I tend to base these creatures on Gang culture stereotypes Orcs - Standard Thugs, Violent Biker Gangs. The Elder Orcs are a bit more jaded and struggling to keep the young thugs in line. Goblins - Weasley scavengers, who steal anything not nailed down and then run and hide (these are the...

    As a GM, which monster do you find the most difficult to role-play?

    Yeah I would love if every monster in the MM was given a motivation line as an indicator of what it wants and thus what its likely behaviour will be. Even something as simple as Illithid: Predatory Intelligence seeking Domination. Still broad enough to generalise but giving some guidance Of...

    TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Beast Boys : In Your Face! "I will help you" Shade-9 fixed his gaze directly upon Guldred, noting the Lizardfolks agitation "Mission Objectives have been updated, but all parameters must be considered." Aywin had suggested direct pre-emptive use of the teleporters...
