Voted 1. I have a nice thing going now at my table with a hybrid of A5E and vanilla 5e, and since I supported the ToV kickstarter I’ll probably have some more options to mine from there. I’m vaguely interested in what they did with the monk and druid, but not enough to convince me to buy the new...

Congratulations on the successful Kickstarter! Downloaded my copy and I’m really enjoying this book so far!

The most recent time I ran it, I did it as a mega campaign leading directly into Azure Bonds, so I sprinkled some Azure Bonds foreshadowing throughout Pool, and tied certain NPCs from the first module into the second so that the Curse and tattoos felt much more personal by the time my PCs got...

It’s probably more accurate to say that I took Ruins as my framework but built in top of it all the missing details from Pool of Radiance that I liked… leaving me with kind of a “greatest hits” (IMO) of the 2 works.

😂 Dang, if only I’d have thought of that!! Ok, next time! 👍

😅 Yes, I did for some of the secret codes., like Sokal Keep! If I had to suffer through that damn wheel so did they!!

I agree about the posters talking about Silverblades being a slog, it was a huge let down from one of my favorite entries: Azure Bonds. I found the higher level entries in most of these games kind of unfun, though Pools of Darkness goes so absolutely bonkers in its extreme power shenanigans that...

I’m loving this thread! The Goldbox series, particularly Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds have a special place in my heart, back when I first played them on an Apple II(!!). I’ve actually adapted and run the TTRPG version “Ruins of Adventure” about 4 times over the years, as...

Does this system support giant sized monsters or is more of a “Supernatural”/“Buffy” simulator? Also what’s the game system like in a nutshell? Thanks!

I'm not that familiar with Tinyd6, but that looks like it's worth a look! Than you. I have the Savage Worlds supplement you mentioned and tried it. It worked OK, and I've really enjoyed SW for other games, but it felt like SW mechanics weren't the best fit for what I was going for.

Yeah, I picked CoC since I could re-stat some of the eldritch horrors as kaiju, or at least use them as a basis between scaling them and the humans. I may look at BRP in the future.

I appreciate the suggestion... I've thought about using it in the past, but for some reason I bounce off Fate every time I've tried it!

This is a fun thread! My game concept is Kaiju with human PCs that's basically a Godzilla movie. I've run a few games like this in the past as one-shots, usually with a lot of homebrewing and hacking. I usually allow the players to control giant monsters in monster battle scenes (sometimes...

This is honestly one of my favorite features of the game. The escalation of "Green" to "Red Zones" is something I've sought to import into other games. The idea of characters getting more abilities and tapping into hidden reserves as a battle goes on is such a ubiquitous trope of genre fiction...

Yeah, I enjoyed the game, but I'm afraid it's a bit niche in the rpg world in a genre that's already niche (supers). I think a few other things that caused my group to falter on it (and we've played a variety of Supers rpgs, including HERO, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds Supers, FASERIP)...

For my part, Everyday Heroes only came on my radar when the Kong and Pacific Rim books came out. I love giant monster stuff and over the years occasionally try to hack various game engines to run kaiju 1-shots. In the end, The Kong and Rim books both had some interesting ideas and lore, but I...

No, no gender implied in the class itself, just the art. I have the core book, but never played Everyday Heroes, but as a class design seems pretty solid

She's a Charisma based class depicted as a certain (how-shall-I-put-it) cosplayer theme inspired by the famous Harajuku street. She has various emotional and mental control abilities ("demoralize", "hypnotize"). -Edit- Beaten to the punch by the actual picture!

I played this a few times, but only in very short games with irregular groups. I’d play it more but I always have a hard time gathering players who like my off brand style of super heroing. 1. I was the moderator, I would have preferred splitting the duty but no one was familiar enough with...

Oh, the elves are there, they just rebranded and hoped you wouldn’t notice! 😝
