Ooh, Lower Decks sourcebook. Nice, I was hoping they'd do something with that series.

Personally, I'd say if an attack with the dagger reduces the target to 0 HP, they are DEAD. No death saves, nothing short of True Resurrection will bring them back, do not pass "Go", do not collect 200 gp. You. Are. DONE. Son.

Admittedly, does anyone outside of D&D nerds and SyFy Originals-grade D-Movie nerds even REMEMBER the 2000s trilogy... Apart from Jeremy Irons?

So, anti-magic concussion blast helmet, a Portal Gun, zombie gas, a dagger with a SLIGHTLY weaker version of the poison from Crit Role Campagne Three, and an unnecessarily fancy Scroll of True Resurrection that explicitly counters the poison dagger (seriously, the SOURCE of a specific spell...

No idea. Haven't played OSE, yet. I assume it's similar to the Thief...

Paizo is doing fan patches that WotC is now making official.

Old-School Essentials put out a D&D Basic class in their 'zine series, Carcass Crawler, called the Mage. It's both a Gandalf send up AND a thought experiment: what if you replaced spell memorization with the Thief's percentile skill rolls. You get things like "open/close", "detect magic"...

Seriously, can someone PLEASE license and export as many of the Japanese-only CoC modules as possible? I've been really curious about that side of the game for a long while. Plus, it'd have to be cheaper than writing new books from scratch. Sword World in English would ALSO be interesting.

How does a subclass option ruin the entire class? I genuinely don't get that. Personally, I like the idea of martials getting SOME magic options, but I'd really restrict them. WotC went with specific schools, I'm thinking a sub-list. Defensive spells (Shield, Mage Armor, Absorb Elements), Melee...

Agreed. Champion, Open Hand, Hunter, Berserker. Just take the core features of the class and make them even better. Reading about Cantrip Adepts in Tome of Heroes now and, yeah, I like it. More cantrips, quicker cantrips, stronger cantrips, longer cantrips, EVEN STRONGER cantrips. If I were...

Ghibli with dashes of Adventure Time. Cartoony but relatively grounded. Much of Old School Essentials art strikes that balance. (Credit: Sam Mameli) If I were to compile my ideal setting, though, it's Eberron or New Capenna but lighter with drops of the Final Fantasies and, again, Miyazaki...

Yeah, I think CoC would be more your cuppa. Give Harlem Unbound and Cthulhu Britannica a look, I'm certain you'll find those interesting.

Exactly what I was hoping it would be. Definitely picking up, now.

I think "Jazz Age Slice-of-Life/Adventure-Comedy" will be the best descriptor, here.

Oh, this looks charming. I'll definitely be picking this up, eventually.

I wouldn't mind a figure of... Oh, what was her name. She was a cleric NPC in one of the EARLY intro adventures, mayor's daughter, tragically dies by the end... Oh, what was it...? AH-HA! ALEENA! She's been my go-to image of a Cleric for a while.

And here I am, waiting for Gaslight, Dreamlands, Britannica, and World War Cthulhu 7th Edition... Oh well. Enjoy... whatever RuneQuest entails, folks. I need to actually read that Starter Set I got last month...

That and the fact that Eberron has TWELVE (used to be thirteen) moons. There is rarely a time when at least one of them ISN'T full.
