Not even that. I think they should broaden Backgrounds and have all Backgrounds grant a Lore Skill and a Professional (Technique) Skill. So if someone has Horse Breeder Background that automatically get the Lore (Nature) and Profession (Animal Handling) if they're a Healer they get Healing...

btw is that where the name of the Awfully Cheerful Engine came from?

Croatians are Slavic living in the Balkan Peninsula and indeed had a Byzantine ruling class = so Dubrovnik fits well But yeah Ylaruam was mostly Arabic, but Turko-Persian makes a better geographic fit

The Vaults of Pandius has an adventure where you get to Save Aleena (you get her resurrected) and Castle Mistamere allows you to track Bargle down for revenge or justice. The thing I always loved about Karameikos was that it had a strong Eastern European (Slavic/Balkan) feel to its culture...

Red Steel was a subsetting of Mystara set on a distant continent (the Savage Coast) reminiscent of colonial South America (and the colonial Baronies even have a Spanish theme) but with furry races (rakasta, lupins, tortles, aranea) and arquebuses. The titular red steel was a magical metal and a...

The party moves through the skeletal remains of an abandoned village, fog curling around the shattered huts. A faint scuttling sound echoes from the shadows—soft, irregular, like claws on broken timber. Something watches. Something waits... A whispering giggle curls through the darkness...

B1-9: In Search of Adventure is the 'best' parts of the first 9 Basic adventures and framed as 3 adventure paths in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos (it even has a helpful Adventure Flowchart) The Veiled Society is set in Specularum, the capital of Karameikos wherein the PCs investigate a murder...

now its just a vignette of daily life?

Wow, I havent looked at that book in years, but indeed it was an absolutely treasure with its variety and scope.

I use to do an annual Wassailing of the Apple Orchards in my 'Spooky England' inspired game, which involved a market, groups going around the orchards wassailing the corps, and seeking boons from the local Baron, and a parade lead by a young woman elected 'Cider Queen'. Over the years the...

You mean like buying The Enemy Within Campaign but adapting it to DnD rules? Or cherry picking the Ars Magica Spell System? I also got the Duty and Honor Napoleonic RPG - which inspired me to run Gothic 17/18th Century Military Campaign (Flanders during the War of Spanish Succession) using D20.

IMC I have a Unseelie Spring Hag "Nanny Blossomthaw" The Mother of Renewal, the Spring Thaw, the Petal Crone. She represents the Spring thaw. When the Cailleach lays down her mantle of frost and the snows retreat, the earth awakens to the melting ice and the muddy soil drinks deeply of decay...

its far easier to put manacles on the hands of someone you're grappling than it is to try and throw a lasoo over there heads at range most replaceable, really? as compared to Stealth v Pass Without Trace, SoH v Knock, or Charm v Persuasion?

yeah the game rules for tying someone up are all rubbish really personally I just make it a follow up grapple check on a grappled opponent using either Str or Dex, whatever they roll becomes the escape DC.

The trail;er should indicate genre, action (or not) and basic premise, but not give away the plot or spoiler surprises

heh, that would be a fun twist - live action too

Yeah its seems that a lot of people are doing Urban heist games hence the top tier given to Slight of Hand and Investigation and Social Skills over good old Athletics - especially when Acrobatics could be used for climbing and escaping. Be interesting to compare Skill 'load-outs' for different...

you may need a reroll

The Essentials: 1. Athletics – The Do everything skill 2. Perception – veni, Vidi, vici (I'd get rid of it in favour of Investigation) 3.Survival – The Exploration Skill The Nice to Haves 4. Investigation – Good for looking for hidden clues 5. Persuasion – Lets avoid combat and talk instead 6...
