Priests don’t always have cleric levels and don’t always have spells, but level 1-9 spellcasting isn’t the only way to portray a divinely gifted character.

Every so often I get a renewed interest in Ultima, so a conversion for Britannia would be appreciated. It’d have to rework how spell components work, and don’t even ask me how to implement playable gargoyles.

The concepts of the Lower Planes, Shadowfell, and Negative Energy Plane are blended into one, the Void. Something like the Blood War is present, but the main focus is all fiends’ war on mortals. EDIT: Reread the title and wanted to tie back to it. What I consider the “pro” is in the last...

I just hope “Sigil and the Outlands” will actually have some Outlands in it.

For Exult: Tales of the Final Age Elves are the guardians of Whisper, the primeval forest. Despite what image that might give, they actually aren’t shoot first and ask questions later; visitors are accepted as long as they don’t go too deep, and can even live permanently in the settlements...

And frequently varied within movies.

But no one asks “how is D&D?”.

Humans are douchsnozzles Aliens are douchsnozzles. (Counting goblins and such as aliens). The dead are douchsnozzles. Demons are douchsnozzles. The figments of your imagination are douchsnozzles. The gods are douchsnozzles. The elder gods are douchsnozzles. Think that covers it.

“So you made a supercomputer to simulate a world made entirely of cork?” “Yes!” “Why!?” “…Get out.”

Frankly, Rebels vs. Empire. I’m so thoroughly tired of that era and conflict (and I don’t consider Resistance vs First Order to be meaningfully different) that I have no interest in Andor even if it’s as good as everyone says.

Did the second accomplish anything? The way you tell it, it sounds like the dice won for them.

Shadow of the Demon Lord - its big bad makes a clear impression right from the start. Gives the feeling of the “Demon Lord”…well, overshadowing everything either subtly or overtly. The Nightmares Underneath - albeit I think it’d work a little better if nightmare was singular, but I still get the...

I’m usually not too impressed with most D&D religions, but I have some fondness for the Church of Ezra. On one hand, there’s the draw that there might just be something in the Mist that’s on our side. On the other, what if it’s just another trick?

The vast majority of fights are not to the death. Going for the kill is reserved only against the really bad bad guys: the Smithys, Shadow Queens, and Princess Shroobs. Beating enemies nonlethally is also really easy.

Well, what I want to say is the Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos are fundamental aspects of existence and an entity’s spiritual anatomy, where doing Lawful things will put more Law in your soul which in turn makes you want to do more Lawful things. The alignments are also “contagious” in a sense...

Not making a system, but OP did mention houserules; I’ve been thinking of some to adapt Fabula Ultima to Ravenloft. So far I have the idea of the Dark Powers being able to spend other Villains’ Ultima points.

Pretty good. The situation descended into madness and chaos, but that par for the course with my group. :)

What, event, being, or group created reality is the biggest unknown. There’s signs of entities living in the layers of the Divine Realm that are too deep for mortals to comprehend, but their identities are subject to theory more than known facts. Nearer entities like celestial paragons and...

New species: Half-dungeon.

Guidelines on tailoring dungeons to their role in the campaign. Is the campaign in a single dungeon? Does it frequently switch between overworld and dungeons? Or is dungeon delving meant for the climaxes of campaign arcs? All of these have different considerations and will need different design...
