    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    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...

    Spoilers Wonder Man all episodes now streaming

    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

    Friday Worldbuilding Fun: Supers Appear in Different Eras and/or Settings

    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...

    Spoilers Wonder Man all episodes now streaming

    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...

    D&D General Friday Fun: What Are Your Top 3 Playable Species

    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...

    Spoilers Wonder Man all episodes now streaming

    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

    A general thread about Korean dramas

    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

    Where Complexity Belongs

    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.

    D&D General Are creatures of the Ethereal Plane the Elemental creature type?

    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...

    System for character Mutation/Power/Spell that allows players to experiment

    I remember Mutants and Masterminds had rules for pushing your ability, I cant remember what they were but I know I was always doing just that

    D&D 5E (2024) Carousing in 5E

    I think the answer is to make every negative lead to an adventure seed - if you get in to debt, its not financial - instead you owe a pirate lord a favour, or you get home after a wild night and discover that your arm is now tattooed with a map, that someone else wants. And going to jail is a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Carousing in 5E

    Is the chance to get new allies, loot and new adventure leads not enough? what else are they going to do with all that gold?

    D&D General So how do Half-Elfs feel different to Elfs?

    its not that weird really - for Earth its been calculated that any two strangers who meet are likely to have a common ancestor 2000 to 4000 years ago, (which may well be within an Elfs remembered lifetime) Its also calculated that everyone alive today probably has the same two common ancestors...

    A general thread about Korean dramas

    My mother has Netflix and so got herself addicted to KDrama (and now CDrama too) I thought they were a bit hookey at first (especially as we dont speak Korean and the closest we get to Korean culture is a jar of Kimchi and some fried chicken) but the first one that took my interest was Alchemy...

    D&D General So how do Half-Elfs feel different to Elfs?

    So in top 3 playable species poll I noticed a couple of people voted both Elf and Half-Elf, which got me thinking in terms of actual playability what is the difference between an Elf and a Half-Elf, is there anything that actually distinguishes one from the other? or is it just the choice of...

    Masters of the Universe | Official Trailer

    I went and watched Teela's Quest again after this thread, and I enjoyed it. Even the terrible Mermen design fit as part of its 1980's charm but yeah the 2000 version was way better (I even liked the newest netflix version)
