The hp and level system allows D&D to be a bit pulpy giving heroes a death buffer so Indiana can get in an extended back and forth fist fight with the bald hulking mustachioed German mechanic.

The 2d20 system in general is designed to be fairly pulpy so Achtung Cthulhu (which is WWII punch Nazis pulp in multiple systems including the current 2d20) and Conan (pulp fantasy) and others.

This is my go to in designing a pulp feel in an RPG scene. Action, fast paced, some danger but not a lot of blood, back and forth with the fairly competent and strong hero winning through or the villain getting away in that scene. Also exotic locations and evocative descriptions whether it is a...

I really like themed monster books with good lore. I really liked the 2e van richtens guides for instance. I also really like themed monster books like enworld’s terrain themed ones from 3.5 that covers a wide variety of creature types and power levels that are appropriate for a jungle, say...

I adopted Trailblazer phantom rogue and monk attack bonuses into my 3.5 and pathfinder house rules.

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

You are correct. :) In looking up the power again in the srd I missed that last line. It has been a while for me. The last time I was DMing a druid in 3.5 the game was getting up there in levels, we ended at level 17. :) At 8th you would need to start with at most an 8 HD size large polar bear...

As a player it is generally me, a little bit influenced by a broad character concept. Some in my group are always in their own voice. Others do intense voice acting. One of my friends did a great thick accent through the whole campaign for her Russian mob character in a Shadowrun game. Another...

I have played M&M3e with an Achilles themed character (invulnerability/toughness, a spear thingy, bunch of Charisma things). I own but have not played M&M 2e Wizards & Warlocks. I have played a bunch of D&D. In the M&M the biggest change for me was the damage save and death spiral versus D&D's...

I rejoined my face to face group late summer which is doing a Cypher game, three hours(?) of actual gaming every two weeks but enough cancellations that it has only been like four games. My online weekly game in a homebrew system has been canceled a ridiculous number of times. We rescheduled...

When you say you are cloning B/X instead of BECMI, as Labyrinth Lord and OSE did, it tells you it has stuff from the Basic and Expert Sets which are mostly replicated (98%) in the BE from BECMI, but nothing from CMI. No weapon mastery, no domain rules system, no immortality path, no advanced...

You can add that Ravenloft since 2e on has had an Indian domain called Sri Raji and in 2e had full module set there RM3 Web of Illusion.

Goodman Games is apparently losing/not renewing its Lankhmar license and their DCC Lankhmar product line looks like it is on a 50% off sale.

PH core only druid is really strong. Wildshape with large dire bear at 8th level including improved grab claws with +23 grapple check is strong melee and BBEG or most any humanoid control. Can dump stat things like strength and still be a melee powerhouse. Plus animal companion and summon animal...
