Haalyr is built around the concept of the transcendental fantastic voyage - from the relatively familiar into the deep unknown and back again, which is a common theme and/or device in literature. The core of the world is an area defined by power struggles between a fading empire and the...

The Hanseatic League presents a very interesting political body, being a very powerful alliance of semi-independent city-states. It's an interesting reflection how the system of allegiance was so ambiguous in those times. Larger cities were often distinct exceptions to feudal structure...

Vemuz stands near the door listening, his hand around the wooden idol in his pocket, ready to drop it on the ground and pick it up again as an excuse should someone notice him standing there.

If there were some very strong reason in the hook of the campaign that made it work well and completely required it (like a campaign setting that's in the atmosphere of a gas giant planet where everything flies, for example), then I might be willing to try it. If it was like Diamond Throne...

After a short time, Vemuz crosses the deck and goes below to check on Arthur Orville. On the off chance that he should happen to overhear Lupe and Jonah discussing such matters as they are, he will most certainly continue to "overhear" them discretely. :D

Humptulips, WA Duckabush, WA Zzyzx, CA Lake Titicaca, Bolivia Next to that in the same watershed is Lake Popo, Bolivia

"Aye. You can start by waking some up from the bunks. They're expecting it." Vemuz continues to keep a sharp watch over the orc abovedecks, quickly stepping in to correct them when they make mistakes.

If you want to teach them a lesson, why don't you just tell them that it works that way up front when you start the campaign, rather than killing them off and then telling them how things work afterward. It's called social contract. In my opinion it's also called good communication and...

No, no, no. The real reason TROS rocks is because it's perfect for 30's and 40's era pulp fantasy - including the magic system.

There is no Elric without Conan.

But those two points are opposed. You most need to avoid combat when you aren't playing up your spiritual attributes. When the story comes to a head your spiritual attributes can easily double your combat ability and turn you into a combat monster. The former, yes. The latter, only...

Oops - I quoted this and forgot to respond. Sorry for the extra post, but I didn't want the comment to get lost in a late edit. The other part of this equation is that each set of two exchanges pulls from the same pool of dice, so the number of dice the defender uses effects his ability to...

People are running long term campaigns in TROS without problems. If played in a certain style, life and death have a lot of meaning in TROS. The combat system is not the focus of the game in practice, even if it's what people always seem to focus on. Spiritual attributes run the show...

Note: I'm responding to three different posts, so the quotes are from different people below. It is very well done for a specific kind of game. People always talk about the combat system, but that's not really the heart of the game - the spiritual attributes are. The Riddle of Steel is...

It also has meta-game problems just like ranger's favored enemy. A DM knows what languages you have and will only bring this asset to bear if he wants to and how he wants to. The player has no control over when it is useful and regardless of which languages he has, for a given situation the DM...

Classes, levels, hit points, armor class, spell slots, as well as signature spells and monsters - these things are all core identity for D&D that I suspect would be similar to how they have always been, even if they end up slightly tweaked (wounds/vitality, ac & dr, etc. being minor permutations...

Apologies for my laziness in choosing examples. You are correct that I did not choose my examples well. I suppose I was going more on the concept that part of the design concept behind this world was taking everything in the D&D palette and finding a place for it. I remember the dinosaurs...
