My perspective: The Seelie and Unseelie Courts aren't about moral alignments nor political factions, they are expressions of the eternal cycle of life and emotion. The waxing and waning of the Moon, the bloom and the blight, the joy of dawn and the dread of night. Fey are born from the ephemera...

Austronesia covers Taiwan, SE Asia, Oceania and Madagascar - its the region over which the Austronesian Languages are spoken. The Asian parts of Austronesia are generally those that were formerly influenced by Malay Thalassocracys like the Langkasuka, Srivijaya and Majapahit Empires and thus...

Sina Una is Phillipines not Melanesia, still helpful though. The best system I found was in french Legendes de Tahitiennes iirc

Heres a Level 0 Funnel for a Caribbean Adventure ESCAPE THE BOILING HOUSE Barbados, 1655. Each of you was transported in chains — a prisoner, a debtor, a loser in the war, an unlucky victim of the press-gangs. Your labour was purchased for the plantations, a living hell of sugar cane, whips and...

1 Piracy is bad and pirates are criminals who do bad things 2 Fortunately a lot of Pirates were in fact Privateers, licenced by a government to harrass enemy shipping. They got labelled pirates by said 'enemy government' or when the missed the memo about which ships they should be targeting if...

Not being a fan of the TV shows concerned the Tommy Westphall dream always seemed a bit too contrived for my liking. I was always far more enamoured of the Wold Newton Universe created by Phillip Jose Farmer who wrote that a radioactive meteorite had struck Wold Newton in England in 1795...

TEAM LAKE - SHADE-9 - Pit of Teeth [Mission Resolution: [Subject:Muragh] - Observed tension collapse - no hostile reaction. Subaqueous egress probability 73%: SE bearing.] Shade-9 turned to see the water breaking for a mere moment as Muragh submerged, leaving only ripples to mark his exit. Even...

yeah I had always considered Mr Bean to be the 20th century Blackadder, never thought to link them to the Doctor though - thats brilliant

Thats a weird distinction, surely once you've included the Planes in your definition of 'Nature', then Nature includes Spirits? Especially as the conjure spell outright stats that Druids are conjuring nature/fey/elemental spirits What are Shaman doing differently besides adding an 'ancestral'...

very Ad lib, though I do like to set scenario waypoints before hand. I see the Fronts and Grim Portents of Dungeon World is a codified waypoint system

I agree especially when the guidance spell gets spammed whats the different between heres "+1d4 guidance" and here "use My reaction to make another attack"

one ability is a bit naff even if it is "I can turn into a CR 1 baby dragon" so what else would you have a shapeshifter do at early levels? its also going to be really unbalanced theres really no way for a Level 5 Dire Wolf shifter to compete with a Level 5 Manticore shifter who has flight and...

Thats kind of what I was thinking too if your have the Warlord Maneuvers (Commands) spread across Attack (Damage Enhancement), Buffs (Rolls, Saves, HP, AC), and Tactics (Positioning, Initiative, Bonus Reactions) then have players pick the ones they want to build their subclass. You get Command...

I do wonder about Pilgrimages and the such and whether the pilgrims expected bandits or wild beasts to be a threat. but still travelled due to their religious fervour. IIRC Chaucers doesnt mention Highwaymen in the Canterbury tales and by that time their were no large predators left in England...

in my teens I did do the Conan the Barbarian pastiche of "last survivor of my village, which was raized to the ground by the Evil Empire when I was a child" with my most edgy being Macabre, an orphan raised in a monastary until it was attacked and the monks slaughtered, Macabre had her face...

Warlord we certainly dont need another magic something (though I'd be fine with the Warlord having Auras that I can pretend are rallying cries and signals)

I agree, his dramatic work is good and he's shown comedy timing in GotG. Dwayne has largely taken the Arnold/Stallone route of playing the same character as its own Brand regardless of movie. and while I appreciate the athleticism WWE is as much about professional theatrical productions as...

assuming ww2 timelines are the same its been 80 years since the Nazis won, camps are likely historic. I'd be interested to see how the non-white community gets on with their own lives - but then I realise that for the US and similar nations, that history of strictly segregated populations...

yeah a cameo from the Sons of Liberty and knowing where the People of Colour were would have been good when chasing Leota, Keith Smith reported "One got out", but we never learn out of where?. Maybe they could have scripted it as Leota getting caught/arrested by Keith and then Chris teaming up...

personally I always thought the Disney castle looked more like Alcazar de Segovia or maybe Hohenzollern, especially with all its towers
