Somewhere in the middle. Pendragon, I am pretty well plotted out. L5R, in Magistrate campaign, I have a bunch of clues and who has them, but I have a list of 2-4 possible potential guilty... the actual guilt is determined in session. (Yes, Illusionism.) If they accuse one of the possibles...

Many people have done so. WFRP 1 had a fairly broad range of adversaries, and there was a WWIV-net fan book with more critters (sadly, the HD I had it on is long toasted). Plus, anything from WFB and WH40K were readily converted into WFRP 1e... Here's the list in the corebook...

Traveller: The New Era has World Tamer's Handbook which is specifically for doing colonies. Traveller: T4 has Pocket Empires, which can be stretched to doing so. Mutant Year Zero has the PCs establish a surface dwelling once they leave their arc. Fallout has a whole sourcebook for settlers...

Even 10+ levels doesn't guarantee character growth, only increased competence. It's a flaw of systems like Palladium and Arcanum, where level up raises everything known, and only select levels get new stuff. (I prefer Arcanum to Palladium fantasy, but they're very parallel designs.) Not all...

Sun Daggerheart AOU Specter, Knight, Elementals, Council, Shopping.

Left to my preferences, I run two sessions a week, on the same day... 3-4 hours, dinner, 3-4 hours. if counting it that way, I got to 60 sessions on 2 different editions of L5R. (2nd and 3rd.) And on Dark Heresy 1e.

L5R had a pretty clear intent, and there was more intent in it to those three playstyles than many give credit for. The thing is, one has to be familiar with what its intent to emulate is to see it. It was intended for the kind of action in Japanese "Pillow Books" - a romanticized samurai story...

Yeah, Hero had 3 expendables in 1981... Body, Stun, End. What it lacked by default was penalties for less than all of any one of them gone. 1987 we get WEG's Star Wars, with damage steps instead of HP, and resistance rolls to determine which level. Shadowrun also has a similar (but more...

History, when I took my bachelor's in it, defined modern as "1965 to present" - that was in 1993 to 1996. We're definitely post-modern on so many areas...

60 sessions? I generally get 40-49 per year. 1⅓ years, so 16 months. Personally, I can only think of one I have tolerated that long in a single run: Pendragon. The 9 months crowd (about 30-32 sessions) adds WFRP 1e, WEG Star Wars, FFG Star Wars and Prime Directive 1e... And Classic and...

Most palaces have turrets and gatehouses. They're there because they're always there... as the early palaces were inside fortifications. And it's always good to keep the "rabble" at beyond arms reach. Take, for example, the current Palace of the Prince of Monaco. It has multiple square towers...

Yeah. And you'll find me in the credits as a lead playtester. It's decent. If I had a group insisting on d20 system, I'd use it. I do use the ship and vehicle design systems.

When letting them pursue it makes your suvival dubious. It's as true IRL as in-game. There's a fine line between letting someone run with a bad idea and endorsing said bad idea, but its a fairly important line

Not familiar with that work. If one likes older editions of L5R, there's Legend of the Burning Sands, which is L5R 3rd revised in a pseudo Arabian setting. On DTRPG My favorite is harder to find: Arabian Sea Tales. On DTRPG. Fairly light all rolls supposed to be player facing.

Not fake - it was a palace, not a fortress. And as a palace it was serving the needs of HM Ludwig II. Until he was deposed. It was intended to be a visual statement of power, not a fortified residence.

A lot more has to do with incompatible editions, with people conflating "Can be converted on the fly" with "is usable unmodified," vicious fan hate of other editions than their favorite. I'm saying this as someone on staff at what was Marc Miller's boards between 2005 to present. If you think...

Same. For 2nd or 3rd (and presumably 4th, tho' I skipped 4th other than core; I was happy enough with 3) , it's a great adjunct. It's less useful with 5th, due to different assumptions, but still, PC's it's just use their rings as is for their CW ratings. I never got much into the card game...

I grabbed 3 of RightKnightToFight's Daggerheart supps... from HeartOfDaggers.com. PWYW on 2 of them. Good Stuff. (should be, he's one of the design team for DH.)
