In 5e all full casters, bards, clerics, druids, sorcerers, and wizards are basically variations of the same wizard caster chassis with different little flavor powers like bardic inspiration or sorcerer meta magic. I think cleric and druid would have been better working off of the more limited 9...

I would lean into the subclass themes, so for wizards an evoker would have blasts, a conjuror would have a big long lasting summons, etc. Some inspiration might come from the monster/NPC specialist mages. Clerics would be more channel type stuff, based on the domain or god theme so fire clerics...

Cult of Undeath (1549) Microlite20 Undead, Undead Creature: ? Ghost: ? Ghoul: Humans wounded by ghouls are cursed if they fail a MND + level check (DC 10) and will slowly turn into ghouls themselves. This process involves taking 1 point of MND damage every day (which does not heal overnight)...

Rules Cyclopedia Appendix 1, pages 268-291. A lot of that is maps though. It is a decent big overview. The B/X Expert Set has a one page hex map of the Duchy of Karameikos but that is it for Known World stuff. For B/X the known world was mostly first introduced in X1 The Isle of Dread which...

I started with the Endless Quest Dungeon of Dread, and for novels with Dragons of Autumn Twilight when they came out. I read a bunch through to the end of the 2e era, though nowhere near a majority. Ravenloft was the only one that I had bought and read a then complete collection of the novels...

Drivethru Helloween Sale. Over 20,000 PDFs on sale. It says up to 31% off but I see a number that are 40% off.

M20 Modular: Genre Book: Modern (1445) Microlite20 Zombie: ?

OK. It was huge, tons of sourcebooks, and it coordinated with the novels and was really big on expanding the Star Wars universe lore. It had sourcebooks on the Thrawn trilogy of novels for example. There were also old now out of print licensed RPGs from various publishers for Star Trek, Babylon...

My first gut instinct is always to go with the narrative character concept first and the character sheet stats second. So the PC Klingon culture Orcish barbarian secretary in my Carrion Crown campaign stopped anyone from seeing her professor during work hours without an appointment. "You do...

What, you discount the fall of Atlantis? Sekhmet almost wiping out all of humanity in the past and civilization having to start over? The Great Flood? :)

The modules are mostly set in Gaz1 The Grand Duchy of Karameikos which is the most medieval European fantasy area of the Known World. The Gazetteer series of sourcebooks then expands outwards with different fantasy ethnic regions (Vikings, Arabs, Mongols, Venitian merchant princedoms, magocracy...

Heroes of the Waves is a Pathfinder 1e sourcebook on fantasy Polynesia from Little Red Goblin Games. Skirmisher Publishing has Men and Monsters of Polynesia for Basic D&D. And Legendary Games has Mythic Monsters #49: South Pacific for Pathfinder 1e.

I only own Harvest of Darkness and one other Kalamar module but Harvest was the only one I read start to finish. I was always intrigued by their Coin Trilogy of modules though. That starts off with The Root of All Evil which is for 1st level characters. They have maybe 10 modules in the 3e...

I would say it is a bunch like 1e (boxed set) or 3e (LGG) Greyhawk, very grounded, ethnicities and kingdoms are important, has a ton of detailed gods (about fifty in the big gods book), and it takes things like natural geography even more seriously so all the rivers go out to seas from high...

In 2002 I did a review on here of the Kalamar mini adventure anthology Harvest of Darkness. 2002 :)
