I'd say Golarion is Modernized Greyhawk (low magic grit) with FR uber-kitchen sink style (and a dash of pulp horror) Nothing, its a spiritual successor to 3.5 Living Greyhawk by design

I wasn't excited by it - but I'm not a fan of Zombie plagues

I like the middle ground and think that in most cases groups and certainly DMs fall back into what theyre comfortable with anyway, so even if it is a kitchensink the DM and players will make it more specific to their taste and keep it from losing cohesiveness and becoming a meaningless...

its a good song and better production than many 'tiktok hits'

its because they are trying to capture entirely different traditions. On one hand the original gnome is the Paracelsian elemental - tiny, secretive, subterranean creatures associated with gemstones. This type feature as the Nomes of Narnia and lead to the original Blackmoor gnomes and later...

Genasi/Aasimar tend to blend into each other whereas Goliath pick up the elemental traits for variety, they have the largeness making them distinct from humans plus all the deep lore of Giants - both DnD and IRL.

depending on the age of the carcass I can do that in the real world with just a few minutes of examination. One of my big issues with DnD is when things that should just be skills get turned into spells. Even the idea of communing with spirits while fantastic is still mundane in a world were...

In 5e: Ideals/Bonds/Flaws in the form of Fate Character Aspects compelled for Inspiration Fate Scene/Campaign Aspects compelled for Advantage Dungeon World Fronts Give Scenes and Plots Fate Stress Boxes (which is the same thing as a clock) Aspects are also a great tool for Social Encounters -...

how do I up-vote this?

So for the sake of debate - what is the Ranger fantasy as you would define it? for me "Skilled Hunter and Guide thriving on the borders between civilisation and wilderness" and personally, I dont see anything in that ranger fantasy that requires it cast spells - it does need a better...

What is that Solution thing? Whats a question thread? You can do more than just polls?

I think it may have been better if they did it all animated

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...
