I think swamps as sources of disease and decay is the main reason they get a bad rep and the rot aspect in particular gets the Black dragons association with acid (rapid decay) and thus death

I've thought about doing a Birthright-style domain management campaign in the Dales, starting the PCs as local heroes in Harrowdale or Featherdale, doing minor rural adventures before being asked to escort the local envoy to the Dales Council and getting invoved in Courtly politics, Zhent...

yes in part, especially his "living on a mote of dust" and "no help from elsewhere" gives the vibe, plus the military and civilian scramble and a long line of alien invasion movies...

never heard of Legends but City of Mist is great and is that game that made the PbtA approach make sense to me, its aspect tags are much more freeform narrative and I like that

just on that trailer I'd be expecting it to be about a suspected alien invasion and if it's supposed to be a teaser I'd end up very disappointed when the aliens turn out to be just a stray missile maybe Ive been seeing too much of this Harvard scientist believes interstellar object blasting...

yeah I like to think of EN World as a quaint English pub, Morrus is the Guv'ner and the mods are the bouncers. The only rules that matter is we are here to have fun, Morrus makes the rules and dont be a dick Its been a good decade or more ago years ago now, but in the past there have been a...

Chinese Dragons also come in a variety of colours, though they tend to represent ideals rather than being coded in the manner of DnD dragons. The habitat associations arent there, nor the breath weapon or alignment. Gold: The most revered color, linked to divine power, Earth element, imperial...

LAKE TEAM - SUBJECT:SHEILD-9 - System Lag Bjorn surfaced with a frantic burst, swimming back towards them, but seemingly whatever he had encountered there had not pursued him. Shade-9 logged the report, confirming the threat risk, before turning his attention back to Guldred, who was calling...

It depends a lot on the intended game but generally I prefer PCs that are competent at what they do and generally heroic in deeds. I also tend to like playing up character troubles (flaws and disadvantages), as it makes their heroic deeds even more special when they are 'overcoming' an inherent...

which is why I like the Ravenloft style Dark Gifts - the player gets to choose what they are comfortable with 'sacrificing' - be it an ever present crow watching from the corner, bloodshot eyeballs or the chance of losing control for the sake of story.

I started using Dungeon Worlds fronts to establish the dangers and grim portents that the PCs might encounter in an area. I really like Fronts as they allow flexibility while keeping things focussed on adventure themes and clear portents that PCs can respond to and/or progress the clock...

I agree, my biggest complaint about this version is that they turned it into Monster High, yet we're still suppose to believe Wednesday is 'special' despite a relatively mundane power. Hopefully the next iteration of the Addams's will have them dwelling amongst normies

I was thinking on that too, but then realised the show is focussed on the school for outsiders and the town of jericho which has become inured to outsider weirdness. We havent yet seen the reactions of the wider normie world - Except for the normie serial killer in episode 1 who showed surprise...

I will admit I enjoyed it as a fun silly ride, much more cohesive than the first half, but omg it was a convoluted trip. There were too many characters but at least they took the time to tie all the ends up (kinda) It was great to see Gwendoline Christie back looking fabulous. Enjoyed the body...

Beholder-kin: Eye of the Derp

I just recall that Stephen King did Maximum Overdrive and Tommyknockers which just shows that over the top kills are equally pornographic and movies need to play to their audience be it family friendly PG or X rated gore

theyre not though, just different. also psychologically it should be easier for a brand new player to pick up a discrete bit of info on a card and put it into the right slot on the board than a new player flicking through a rule book and then trying to slot that same info into the cloud of...

Is modular cards the future of gaming? Its an interesting potentially fun concept

Exalted 3e seems to be both broad with its abilities and tall with essence and charms and directly built for Wuxia

except Barbarians do have them - their powers only work when they are in an unfocussed emotional state of rage monks focus on their internal Ki Wizards have their books Warlocks make a pact with a Patron to get their powers
