I've seen PCs play a Leopard Ranger without issue, mobility and speed outclass humanoid PCs, they get natural weapons (bite 1d6), stealth and pounce (knock prone) is great when working with allies. Hands arent an issue since others in the party are there to open doors and manipulate objects. The...

yeah I can accept that, I suppose I was focussing on the nihilism and skeptisim of the protagonist as the fantasy rather than the nature of the Land itself. Its a grim psychological venture into utopianism, but it is ultimately restorative rather than revealing a false idyllic

The Dying Earth - post apocalyptic decadence and decay The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Tragic, cynical and morally ambivalent The Black Company - Mercenaries slogging through grim and morally grey wars Neverwhere - London’s hidden history is dark and full of human suffering American Gods -...

heh Bannerets back and its reactive boosts and emphasis on positioning and action economy are nice features that give it flavoursome niche :)

for the sake of cool Prince-of-Persia style parkour tricks I'd rule that If they also have a climb speed, they can end their turn clinging to a solid surface without falling. And even if they don’t have a climb speed, they can make a Dex (Acrobatics) check (DC 10–20 depending on surface) to...

The Five Olympic Rings represent Asia, Africa, Europe, America (combined), Australia/Oceania - but of course the count can range from four to eight depending on the arrangement and context. The most 'scientific' approach is probably using the seven major tectonic plates (African, Antarctic...

TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Convergence at the Upper Lake Shade-9 merged back into the shadows, camouflaged, where the routines were familiar and he could keep overwatch as Guldred returned to his own kind and the Team assessed the way ahead. Although he had been updating his heuristic...

The party hearing voices in the rock is a great way to handle them. Xorn are intelligent and speak terran, which is sensed as tremors and groans in the ground. These serve as warnings for others to stay away, even if those others do not understand the intent. Xorn dwell in the deep bedrock...

The Scandal is that the Lorwyn digital supplement is only available to those who have already purchased the $160 Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle which D&D Beyond is proudly promoting as the most expansive take on the Forgotten Realms in D&D history. People hate it because its a digital only...

I agree, I loved the options and variety of 3.x, its the closest DnD has gotten to a 'build your own' system while still being class-based, and I liked that. I didnt like the presentation of 4e, got turned off and so didnt play it (Pathfinder and FATE were there). However after (reluctantly)...

Ship of Theseus, Odysseus boat wasnt in question :)

D20+ maths, HP bloat, over generous healing ubiquitous Magic everywhere :)

Everything is Forgotten Realms - even Earth. Elminster has been to Toril (duh), Sigil, Greyhawk, Krynn, Realmspace and Earth and he knows of the Far Spheres (Mystara, maybe Eberron)

Even in the depths of grim dark despair, people can find small victories, acts of perseverance, friendship and humanity that bring hope that life is worth living and that people can overcome the darkness . Warhammer Fantasy is a great setting

In checkers each counter is an amoeboid organism in a microscopic war for dominance inside a single droplet of blood, each move the organism takes to engulf and digest its rivals seeks to claim the host before the immune system sterilizes them both

Constantly, I enjoy doing it during boardgames, or playing cards as a cowboy or international man of mystery:) My nephews and nieces occasionally get annoyed when I play fishy fishy like I'm on the deck of a trawler in the Berring Strait! Even just in conversation around the house I'll use...

I wouldnt - I actually think the Captain should be the Ship NPC, making the Command rolls that determine weather and heading etc. Then PCs are officers who get to manage the crew as abstractions of parts of the ship -Propulsion (Sails & rigging), Steering (Rudder and wheel), Deck Crew (Morale)...

The singer of that song is now persona non grata following a series of convictions, so I left it off my list.

Same, definitely these 2.
