wait - I can have a pet druid? (okay it includes sidekicks I just thought it was funny that in the list of beasts and monsters druid was included - I can understand why bard would be ::))

Metacurrencies are a good mechanic, that gives players a choice and a physical token to use to affect game flow, they add to fun. But mechanics are not the Game and that (I think) is where the mistake of "everyone gets a different resource" comes in. People in play, dont want to try to remember...

Yeah Hank Pim is a strange one to get hung up over since the character as portrayed by Douglas was a supporting character to Paul Rudd. I agree that the Michael Douglas version of Hank should be retired but if they were to do a Hank Pym Antman movie set in the 1960s I would fully expect a new...

I just saw MEGAN 2 and it was surprisingly entertaining. They've given up any pretence of horror and instead gone for a spy action comedy, with murderous AI making amusingly sassy quips. The plots convoluted but the action is fun "Hold on to your ..."

I really didnt see the point of Dragonborn because Half-dragons and Draconians already existed. But its no biggie. With 2024 making lineage mainly cosmetic, none of them need to core really. It would be good if the PHB could make that explicit and let DMs and groups choose their own 'setting...

Yeah designers like Mr Colville do seem to over design, especially when they latch on to a 'cool' idea like 'every class uses a different resource'. Its the old Gygax Thesaurus problem of too many synonyms, but all doing the same thing. Then again maybe they do different things despite...

Snatch, the Vicious Little Dog and Thimble her Human Ratcatcher Snatch crouched atop her bucket, eyes half-lidded, black tipped ears flicking like knife points. Her muscles tense as a coiled spring stuffed into a sack of wiry fur and bad temper. The meat-sack humans jostled and yelled and...

TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT: SHADE-9 - REGROUPING “A Lightbringer" Shade-9 declared as he completed his assessment, cross referencing arcane signatures with archived data records. "Crafted over a century ago in the Moonshae Isles. It is Responsive to verbal command and emits light like a lantern. It...

Riding high atop a giant, carnivorous hamster with glossy brindled fur and a suspiciously bloodstained harness, a gaily dressed gnome grinned at the crowd with manic energy, rose up to his full two feet and lifted his hat - from which a column of purple smoke trailed before bursting into a...

not really, or at least not in the same round. Just need to clarify that a four armed creature can grip up to four weapons but the upper and lower arms cant wield weapons at the same time. (You get the cool image of the Naga with four swords but not extra wields) You need two hands to wield a...

Yeah there are a number of Persian and Chinese tales about Fisherman catching magic fish who plead for mercy and grant the fisherman luck and wealth in return. Most of the stories become a moral about choosing wisdom over greed. Its also true that Jinniyah are shapeshifters often taking the form...

TEAM LAKE - REGROUPING Scanning across the lake Shade-9 nudged the kayak towards the muddy bank to allow the weasel Bill to climb back on board as the giant frog Bjorn slipped back into the waters and the other kayak followed over the waterfall with a rush. Though Aywin slipped from the kayak...

Which does bring up why dont Efreet look like lions or genie like birds? why does every djinn except Marid look humanish

Damn! was Roddy McDowell in everything in the 70s?

I can cope with furry - but fishy - errr, thats just diving in too deep:)

I thought they all vaporize into dragon essence for dragonborrn scorcerers to absorb. Lots of acid in a black dragon

Are you familiar with 5-room dungeons? I lke them as a nice little tool to guide quick dungeon design. Just remember that 'room' is a scene so can be anything - a city street, a cluster of buildings, a forest, a stage in a negotiation. The Thematic entrance is where you load in your genre and...

I think its an expectations thing, I like the nostalgia of the old shows but accept that the general quality is not going to be up to modern standards or that some things that might have seemed cool when I was 10 are now just groan-worthy.

TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT: SHADE-9 - MISSION: SEPLUNKING Shade-9 leaned back against the rush of water as they plunged over the fall, adjusting his spray-blind optics. He had miscalculated the landing space and the tug of the current, but it seemed that the setback was only minor. Darius was unharmed...

I'm imagining multiple global flashpoints triggered by environmental disasters (earthquakes, global warming, tsunami and flooding), the entire global map is reshaped. The mecha are first deployed to assist the humanitarian crisis as global populations are displaced. But its not long before...
