The ones I remember: Wizards gaining bonus spells like the Cleric based on Int No level limits Death at -10 HP Not using weapon vs AC/armour adjustments Crits/Fumbles There were also additional spells and items from external sources, and our DM eventually introduced a lot of additional...

Cool, thanks. My sense of commonness and 'netiquette' is quite outdated when it comes to social media. :)

Oh I remember Wacko World! I don't think I ever ran it, but I definitively read it intently. Check out that Master Characteristics chart on page 48 -- brings back memories for sure! :) Also, the subtitle in the Table of Contents for the Ecology of the Treant article: We wooden kid you, wood...

That's some hashtag vomit... is that typical? For marketing, I mean? Including using a D&D hashtag for a not-D&D product? (Also, what is the AudioLeak hashtag for? Or do I not want to know... )

My quick summation would be a game that allows for meaningful choices that either improve my/our capacity to overcome the opposition and/or degrade the opposition's ability to overcome me/us. As part of that, typically there are options, limitations, and trade-offs that need to be considered...

I've toyed with the idea of introducing halfvantage to my games, where you roll 2d20 like regular advantage, but the second die only counts if it rolls an even number. (And the reverse for halfdisvantage, where the second die only counts if it rolls an odd number.)

I'm pulling the ol' blue cover Campaign Sourcebook and Catacomb Guide off my shelf to reread it. If nothing else, I will forever fondly remember it for the phrase "multi-barrel wand of megadeath" that has delightfully been lodged in my brain for 34 years. :D

For a few campaigns I've adopted a two-prong approach that has worked really well. If the campaign world is an original/new one, I will write up a 1-2 page overview of the world, often presented from (or some portion of it is) some "in-world" source. Sometimes that's a narrative story...

I backed both Avatar and Coyote and Crow. I have played Avatar a bit, and it seems like a solid enough implementation of the PbtA ruleset (though more time with the conflict sections might be needed to get a full impression of how well that part works, though I do like that explicitly after...

Having recently run I3 Pharaoh for one of my groups (we're into I4 Oasis now) in the 5e ruleset, and having made a bunch of my own changes to the adventure, I'm curious to see/read the updates and alterations they put in this book. To a lessor extent for Barrier as well, though I haven't...

My first RPG I bought, then ran, then played was Top Secret. The box cover immediately piqued my interest and I immediately began saving up to buy it! (I haven't played a spycraftian game in ages, definitively would love to do so again.) It was only about 3 or so years later when I first...

nodnods Which now has me thinking about flavourful, magical, long-distance communication methods such as animal messenger, light displays, druidically enhanced fleet-of-foot runners, amplified drum beats, spirit image sending, arcane marked inukshuks, and the like.

General Hawk: "What part of highly trained, precision special mission force did you not understand?" :P

Good point, and pre-colonization the first nations were masters at waterway travel, with canoes of all types (dugout, bark, skin, kayaks, etc) depending on the region for both the materials available but also the type of waterways to be plied. And for that matter, where in Canada also can have...

Nice! I can totally see, in that typical "humour moment at the end of the episode" way, Postal turning to DC and WW to say, "Well done Joes, we do OK," and then, with no warning or change of expression, falling over and snoring. :D "It made for a funny situation but was ineffective," is a...

Thirding Tribe 8, and seconding Rifts: Canada and Rifts: Quebec. There's also "Champions of the North" for the Champions/HERO game and system. Now that you mention it, the Maritimes and Newfoundland could make for an interesting spot to play, with its water travel and islands allowing for a...

Just noting here that it is a classic DARVO move to begin accusing others of having starting the fire. And that, really, you're just the poor extinguisher trying to save the building.
