Which was developed by a third party, initially published by Cubicle 7; when they saw the designers intended changes for 2e, said, "Not good for us. Not happening"... and FL picked up the license. It's somewhat more "their game" than is Mork Borg... but it's not really their game, either. I...

Canonically, under AD&D2, your god doesn't grant you your level 1 & 2 spells... Until 3rd level spells you deity only vaguely knows you. Excellent, but possibly erroneous, point; There isn't enough proof either way.

Hasn't happened yet; several traveller groups were well amused by Q-ship ops.

Tuck was as violent as the rest of the Merry Men in the legends. More so in more modern retellings. Blessing the men to go and do political violence in the lip service of giving to the poor. If there was a real friar Tuck, the good friar, by taking up with declared outlaws like Sir Robin of...

That you say it that way shows you probably didn't get the concept... The fey aren't there to be scary. They're dangerous as hell, because they think of the knights as toys to be played with and/or lab rats to be experimented upon. For example, one of the tales is of Sir Gawaine being tempted...

You got lucky. I got forced to read 3 zane grey novels. That was I, Mordred. Which I mentioned above. Noble Nights and Noble Steeds are the two least BSDM-looking covers, I, Mordred the next tier.. I wish Avalanche's owners would rerelease those three in PDF... Their Nordic ones are decent.

Many of us had friends go through it. It existed. It was, and in some places, still is, accepted behavior. My buddy from high school, D.C., was abused to begin with. RPGs were an escape from the horribly psychologically abusive mother. When she found out, she went sideways. After high school...

That doesn't mean it's a good idea. A knight's life is hard enough without things scarier than the Fey... I don't remember faerie knights in Mabinogion or LeMorte, but there are enough Faerie stories in Arthuriana that Faerie nights. When the Arthurian stories do go horror, it's not modern...

was my first ziplock owned, SFB was first played. Everywhere SVC turned Left with SFB, he turned Right with Starfire.

False assumption. An note on god vs God; many people I know reject capitalization for any but their own god; standard English is God as proper noun, god as common. I'm using the lowercase on purpose. See, the thing is, with D&D classes... Only the casters can be certain. A cleric, druid, or...

The setting for those comes from the game. Note that since the 1975 introduction, the "Ion Engine" — not actually a thruster, but it leaves a trail of even more ionized gas in its 10% C wake...— is required to trigger a warp point's action... and said trigger blows up operating fusion plants...

Wed. Gp, - Daggerheart, Variant Beast Feast. Side Quest, ibīdem, ibīdem, ibīdem.

That description is very much like the 1980's descriptions of Warp Point travel in the wargame Starfire (Steven V. Cole, sold to Task Force Games; when TFG closed, sold to fans. TFG's Starfire line editor was David Webber, best known for Honor Harrington.)

Mote in Gods Eye is the same universe as the Falkenberg's Legion series, but at the other end of the Empire's history. Both excellent series.

My preferences are for a navy that makes sense given the non-realistic tech of the setting. I'm not a fan of kilometer+ long capital ships; in Traveller terms, my non-OTU settings cap at 20,000 Td. (380,000m³ volume, ~ 4 million metric tons mass) The TOS USS Enterprise is about 19,000 Td...

2E and 1E are significantly different. Somewhere, I've my 3" CD of EABA 1e - Playtesters were sent one with a couple settings and the core. I participated, but dropped out of, the 2e playtest on EABA. Didn't like the added convolutions. It is obscure, but it's Excellent. CORPS is a very...

MERP ain't likely to legally happen (Pirates have had it online since about 2000...), but there are two options for very similar - ICE's own HARP, and a psudoclone, Against the Dark Lord (VsDL).

my favorite neoarthurian is the episode of Babylon 5...

It shows medieval Dominicans. Dominicans are essentially Benedictines with a charism for teaching, and a great model for the anachronistic friars of Pendragon and of them in Le Morte. It is as much a medieval mood piece. MP&THG, meanwhile, instastnaps me out of an Arturian mode.... to the point...

He's only moving backward in a few versions.
