This is not accurate. Elves and humans produced the first half-elven offspring, who felt they didn't fit in so formed their own community, with two half-elves then producing further "trueborn" half-elves. They started referring to themselves as Khoravar (Children of Khorvaire) because they...

Like I said, the first versions used candles:

I don't see what's so objectionable about lanterns on belts. London's Metropolitan Police wore signal lanterns on their belts c. 1860. The earliest versions used candles, before upgrading to whale oil, and eventually kerosene. I know post-industrial revolution tends to be outside the...

Not quite in line with the rest of your post, but there's Tomorrow City (which happens to be on sale right now), and Age of Steel.

Unfortunately, it does not. I could have been more explicit, but I meant playing as the fairy tale characters themselves.

One premise I find lacking is for playing in a unified world of Fairy Tales in the vein of Fables, Shrek and Once Upon a Time. City of Mist sort of comes close, but it's not quite there.

I suspect that's related to Frank Gruber's assertion that there's only 7 plots for westerns.

But why male models?

There's a thread for it on RPG.net where the lead designer has been providing additional info.

This is a bit of a bugbear of mine, but the philosophy is "if it exists in D&D, it has a place in Eberron". That does not mean it exists in the same exact form as default/vanilla D&D, but rather it is made to fit the setting instead of a GM dismissing it outright.

I quite enjoyed when McNally opened a Master Lock with another Master Lock. Truly the tool every Rogue should have.

Unless this was changed for 2024, you absolutely can fail a stealth check. For 2014, Dex (stealth) checks setting the DC for Wis (perception) checks only applies when someone is actively looking for a sneaking character. If the potential observer is not being proactive, then their passive...

I have previously provided two, admittedly simplistic/undetailed, alternatives to a yelling cook. If there is genuine interest, I could be convinced to give examples of how I'd handle the full suite of tiered results.

I see other people have already pointed this out, so I apologise if this feels like dogpiling, but this is misrepresenting what @Campbell said. Lacking the agenda of "make the characters' lives not boring" does not mean one has the opposite agenda. Similarly, the characters lives being not...

I'd say "no retries" can be as much about a presenting a certain narrative as it is about session pacing.

You'll have to roll to find out.

What? I've pointed out previously that there are people who view various PbtA games, including AW, as gamey because of the move structure. And, while I can't speak to MHRP specifically, Cortex is incredibly gamist with step up/down, buying off hitches, etc.

I suspect the charge is directed at Edwards more than Baker, though possibly with some conflation of the two.

Link doesn't work for me, but if it's what I think it is, the author's revision is that they consider "neotrad" to be a misappellation to the playstyle laid out in the original post, and that "neotrad" should refer to game design, while "OC" should apply to the playstyle, yes? I, however, have...
