    What Bit Of Fan Fic/Edit/Theory Made a Thing Better or even GREAT For You?

    Not being a fan of the TV shows concerned the Tommy Westphall dream always seemed a bit too contrived for my liking. I was always far more enamoured of the Wold Newton Universe created by Phillip Jose Farmer who wrote that a radioactive meteorite had struck Wold Newton in England in 1795...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    TEAM LAKE - SHADE-9 - Pit of Teeth [Mission Resolution: [Subject:Muragh] - Observed tension collapse - no hostile reaction. Subaqueous egress probability 73%: SE bearing.] Shade-9 turned to see the water breaking for a mere moment as Muragh submerged, leaving only ripples to mark his exit. Even...

    What Bit Of Fan Fic/Edit/Theory Made a Thing Better or even GREAT For You?

    yeah I had always considered Mr Bean to be the 20th century Blackadder, never thought to link them to the Doctor though - thats brilliant

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Thats a weird distinction, surely once you've included the Planes in your definition of 'Nature', then Nature includes Spirits? Especially as the conjure spell outright stats that Druids are conjuring nature/fey/elemental spirits What are Shaman doing differently besides adding an 'ancestral'...

    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    very Ad lib, though I do like to set scenario waypoints before hand. I see the Fronts and Grim Portents of Dungeon World is a codified waypoint system

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    I agree especially when the guidance spell gets spammed whats the different between heres "+1d4 guidance" and here "use My reaction to make another attack"

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    one ability is a bit naff even if it is "I can turn into a CR 1 baby dragon" so what else would you have a shapeshifter do at early levels? its also going to be really unbalanced theres really no way for a Level 5 Dire Wolf shifter to compete with a Level 5 Manticore shifter who has flight and...

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Thats kind of what I was thinking too if your have the Warlord Maneuvers (Commands) spread across Attack (Damage Enhancement), Buffs (Rolls, Saves, HP, AC), and Tactics (Positioning, Initiative, Bonus Reactions) then have players pick the ones they want to build their subclass. You get Command...

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    I do wonder about Pilgrimages and the such and whether the pilgrims expected bandits or wild beasts to be a threat. but still travelled due to their religious fervour. IIRC Chaucers doesnt mention Highwaymen in the Canterbury tales and by that time their were no large predators left in England...

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    in my teens I did do the Conan the Barbarian pastiche of "last survivor of my village, which was raized to the ground by the Evil Empire when I was a child" with my most edgy being Macabre, an orphan raised in a monastary until it was attacked and the monks slaughtered, Macabre had her face...

    D&D 5E (2024) What should the 15th Class be?

    Warlord we certainly dont need another magic something (though I'd be fine with the Warlord having Auras that I can pretend are rallying cries and signals)

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    I agree, his dramatic work is good and he's shown comedy timing in GotG. Dwayne has largely taken the Arnold/Stallone route of playing the same character as its own Brand regardless of movie. and while I appreciate the athleticism WWE is as much about professional theatrical productions as...

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    assuming ww2 timelines are the same its been 80 years since the Nazis won, camps are likely historic. I'd be interested to see how the non-white community gets on with their own lives - but then I realise that for the US and similar nations, that history of strictly segregated populations...

    Spoilers Peacemaker Season 2 (Spoilers)

    yeah a cameo from the Sons of Liberty and knowing where the People of Colour were would have been good when chasing Leota, Keith Smith reported "One got out", but we never learn out of where?. Maybe they could have scripted it as Leota getting caught/arrested by Keith and then Chris teaming up...

    Iconic Keep on the Borderlands image an homage to Sleeping Beauty?

    personally I always thought the Disney castle looked more like Alcazar de Segovia or maybe Hohenzollern, especially with all its towers

    What Do You Think Of As "Modern TTRPG Mechanics"?

    Yeah I tend to agree that modern tends to refer to mechanics that allow for abstraction rather than task focus. Narrative approaches, event-based (v taskbased) resolution, player led world building/questions, advantage and bennies etc

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    TEAM LAKE - SHADE-9 - .umm?.. Shade-9's optics narrowed as he focussed in on Aywin and the Lizardfolk chieftain, taking note of the subtle movements and microexpressions that might give clues to their intent. He had not expected Aywin to be so blatantly demand that the Lizardfolk leave nor for...

    D&D General Stop Yapping, Start Playing: Trimming GM Descriptions

    sure except that player 2 and 3 have both taken additional actions that give the DM a chance to add additional information focussing on the stained glass window "as you pull out your tools to start cutting out the windowframes you notice that the stained glass depicts the story of the fallen...
