Noir does not come as naturally to me either. I find the other half of the Eberron tone, pulp, much easier to do. I just imagine how Indiana Jones I can make a D&D session feel and I have done that a bunch and find it fun. The closest I come to noir is probably Cthulhu type urban...

I was thinking tax policy. :)

Concentration spells are only broken if you drop concentration voluntarily, from failing a con save when taking damage, or from something like casting another concentration spell. You can keep your concentration spell going while doing other stuff like casting a non-concentration spell. Here is...

Argo (631) Microlite20 Skeleton Warrior: ?

I have played and DM'd a bunch of D&D with one player. If they run two characters it gets less personal and more 3rd person perspective, my tastes run to preferring more first person single character immersion. While NPCs can make it more like a normal party for capabilities and action...

Ptolus I really like the collapsing henotheistic Holy Lothian Empire. For D&D having a big church dedicated to an ascended paladin as the patron of the empire allows both medieval church themes with whatever D&D polytheism you want alongside it since it is henotheistic, So you have a great...

It doesn't hurt. Ask the Asgardian mason background 1st level fighter.

Comics Thor has the hammer Mjollnr but it also lets him fly and zap things and turn into a mortal human. Whether his armor counts as magic would be an open question too. Mythic Thor has the hammer Mjollnr, a belt and gauntlets that enhance his super strength even more, he uses a backup magic...

Yeah, no magic rings in sight on fantasy Errol Flynn, Falstaff and Charles Bronson.

Advanced Microlite20 OSS 1.0 (623) Microlite20 Skeleton: ?

I really like a bunch of Eberron as a setting, The Five Kingdoms war. The weaponized necromancy of Karrnath, the crusading inquisition types of the Thrane theocracy, the dead Mounlands with the Lord of Blades, and the whole lost giant continent of Xendrik are really evocative. I like the history...

Nah, if it were poisoned in 0D&D through 2e and you make your save it narratively missed, no effect from the poison (3e has the weird circumstance of the second save 10 rounds later). Which is why clerics and thieves are a bit better at poison saves in OSR type D&D, they have more blessings of...

I like a lot of generic D&D pantheons, Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Krynn, Golarion, the real world and fictional ones from Deities & Demigods/Legends & Lore, 4e core, and others. The Sovereign Host specifically just does not call out to me and hook me like those others do.

I really like Eberron D&D religion. The any alignment clerics, the multiple types like the cool Blood of Vol philosophy, the Silver Flame, gods of the Dark Six, the Three Dragons, the dragon below cults, the ancestor and hero worship, the different sects of druids, etc. I do not care for the...
