I have druids following the Old Gods who are powerful nature spirits with generic names. The man in the wood, the river maiden, so forth. Priests follow the new gods which amount to any published pantheon. An illustrative difference is from Game of Thrones, where the children of the forest...

Generally I would start over with a future "mystery" being; What happened to this other group of heroes? However my current group is in the habit of nearly always splitting the party. Now I have the predicament of having three main characters who are also the highest level in a situation where...

This is about the same as I have done. There are litany and liturgy skills for each deity, non divine characters can mimic what a cleric etc..., says and does and hope for intervention. I also use piety (from Harn) as a means for "true believers" to increase the chance of success. How this...

In my game when a player learns a new skill they start at level 1. They can increase their skill level over time if they desire to do so. I also have many more skills than the current edition does. Many of these are occupational and derived from backgrounds as a means to colour the characters...

I use smoothbore firearms rather than rifled. This causes a great deal of inaccuracy at longer ranges. Inaccuracy at longer ranges can be mitigated by greater skill, however, this is a player choice and potentially leads to not being able to do or not be as proficient at other activities...

In my game divine casters use points and a ritualistic prayer to "cast". As long as they can perform the appropriate gestures the prayer will be made properly. Arcane caster use "slots". Each caster chooses a mnemonic focus to cast. As long as they can use their chosen focus casting will work...

From an ambush the barbarians could fell trees and time release them using ropes to fall onto one or more of the wagons. With broken wagons the party would be forced to leave behind a number of goods for the barbarians to pick through at their leisure.

Our game has rangers acting more like the wargs from Game of Thrones with druidic and witchcraft spells.

I agree with other posters that what happened was fine, for, the story continued and an additional plot arc was created. I wonder if the possibility of the ranger and orog becoming friends exists? In my game our paladin has been captured and ransomed by a robber knight three times now, twice...

While in port the party runs into a group of seal hunters. The hunters have a cage of small defenseless seal pups that whimper and whine. A clumsy drunkard knocks over the cage and the pups run to the nearest character adopting him or her as they look for protection from their new mother. If...

How is this for you? Lady Starflower a half elven beauty who appears gowned in armor of shimmering samite and mithril elven chain wielding a pale silvery sword and filigree shield that appears to be like delicate lace. She rides an ivory unicorn. This is all an illusion to draw in the foolish...

I have each race age at the same rate until the mid to late teens. Then the aging rate changes for the various races. For half races I take the average of the two parent races. Each player starts at age five and then through choice of backgrounds which add a number of years to their age end up...
