well I find avoiding narcissists to be a tantalisingly Sisyphean endeavour. Yet such Promethean ambitions haunt me, and I am condemned, with Pythian certainty, to Icarian overreach and fall...

So would Odysseus be a Rogue Mastermind or a Bard? He's more Tactician than Warrior I'd think most come down to being Fighter or Paladin. Maybe Ranger for Theseus? What of Andromeda - Bard? Cassandra a Lore Bard or Divination Wizard?

but none of those are reasons to have them in a game - Reason 1 is just a justification for a mechanic, but we know spells exist even if gods are otherwise ignored Reason 2 only happens if the DM decides to make that happen Reason 3 is worse as its just a minigame the DM plays on his own, until...

I enjoyed BECMI more than AD&D. 3e was a fun new direction, 4e a strange tangent that has managed to prove itself by comparison to 5e - 5e is in the weird place of being useful but uninspiring, is that an upgrade?

You do? what are they?

I recalled a couple of days ago a Superheroes game we did in which the characters were all inspired by Fairytale characters eg CINDR Ella with her magical ball gown instead wore a "Chroma-Inductive Neuro-Dynamic Reactive suit" that generates hardlight structures adapted to look like clothes to...

we have a couple of cups and saucers that are a century old, and tin opener from the 1940's

I've just remembered that Kingsley is now in his 80's, he's doing really well, considering his 'maturity' and here's a picture - I can see why no-one would recognise Trevor Slattery from this

ironic in the similarities

Yeah it became clear a while ago that gods are irrelevant in DnD where dragons, primordials, Arch fey and even mortal spellcasters are on par with extra planar dieties. What is important to gameplay is religious factions, sects, temple rituals and tenets of belief. The actual Diety is mostly...

Thats rather the point of the MCU - any story is possible within its shared universe. Its rather elitist to say that Wonder Man doesnt belong

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? The problem with going back to the mythic ages (Mesopotamia, Hellenic Greece, Ancient China etc) is that Superheroes are also mythic characters hence Hercules, Thor, Gilgamesh and Sun Wukong are all recurring Superheroes. Medieval, Renaissance, Age of Sail...

Simon Williams was originally a "Wealthy Industrialist" who went bankrupt trying to compete with Stark Industries, thus he blamed Tony, which allowed Zemo to manipulate him. Zemo used "Ionic Energy" to turn Simon into a "living engine of destruction" to rival Thor and Hulk. It was after his...

1 Human 2 Fey-touched - Half-Elves, Changelings, Hagling 3 Elemental - Dwarf (Stoneborn), Melusine (Waterborn), Cinderfolk (Fireborn), Sylph (Airborn)) 4 Gnome - Forest, Brownie (Fey), Tinker, Deep, Spriggan, Red Cap 5 Anaqim (Large) - Goliath, Troll-kin, Orc, Half-giant 6 Planetouched (Feat)...

Yeah its a fairly conservative list with Humans, Elfs and Dwarves absolutely dominating, with a bit of mild flavour via Elf lite (Half-Elf, Tiefling) notably they're visually appealing species with pleasingly human aesthetics. Warforged gives a bit of mechanical artifice ;) and seem to have...

Only watched 2 episodes so far, I like it. I surprised that choose to go for a serious tone, I was expecting more parody given the 'making a superhero movie" premise and well Wonderman

They are so available on Netflix that you can stream K-Dramas 24 hours a day for 12 months and still not see all of whats on offer

With regards Rituals and Crafting I think mechanics should provide a framework for narrative input from the PC. Focus on pacing, strain and outcome effects but otherwise let story do the heavy lifting and minimise mechanics as much as possible.

No. Elementals are aspects of the Material, ontologically constructive beings formed of Elemental substance (matter) whereas the Ethereal is inherently Non-Material, Its inhabitants are not bound by physical rules of Material substance and neither are they formed of Ethereal stuff. Instead...
