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...

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"
