Do soap operas even have seasons? British ones are on continuously. To use Emmerdale as an example, it started in 1972 and so far has had 9,617 episodes (which works out at over 3 per week). Days of Our Lives (which I've never seen) apparently started in 1965 and has had over 14,000 episodes...

I take the money out of their treasure without even telling myself about it either. Basically all their treasure is deemed to be "net" of living costs and I don't bother working out what those costs were in the first place. Or to put it another way, we ignore living costs. But that's because...

Australia has way more sheep than New Zealand does, although NZ does have more sheep per person.

The way it is all a mish-mash of various time periods (including imaginary ones) also seems "foreign" to me. Not-vikings interacting with not-Romans, whilst Arthurian knights in platemail are part of a feudal system that we are told exists but never really see. Meanwhile everybody is literate...

Or hire a storage unit to keep all your stuff that isn't books.

It seemed to go on for ages, and we all knew that it would resolve nothing and change nothing. Still, at least it was shorter than the fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan at the end of RotS. The Rebel Alliance blew up two Death Stars in less time than that took, and it's not as if the outcome was...

I'm in 3 gaming groups. I GM in one, am a player in another and we share the GMing in the third (although it is currently my turn). I enjoy having a mixture of roles.

I did once run a game where a player had his character cast Glitterdust on a bat in an attempt to blind it ... I was also in a 3.5e game where the player of an elven wizard tried to cast Sleep on a group of Drow ... So I've no idea what PCs should or shouldn't know!

OOPs, sorry! That'll teach me for not looking which forum this was posted in. That seems like the perfect situation for using the Mythic rules.

OK, now I've re-read the thread title (or read it properly for the first time :)) and it is Immortals Handbook: ASCENSION and per Drivethru it's a d20 product from 2008 that deals with the D&D 3.5 Epic Rules. There's no reason why you couldn't use it with the Mythic rules, but since the Mythic...

That's offered as a suggestion in the Castle Keeper's Guide (pp276-7 in my version). Along with some other options that I find bizarre, such as setting the default to 15 and adjusting the roll by +3 if prime and -3 if not prime.

They need to cover what is going to happen in a 6 part adventure that will fill many sessions. (Although I doubt the 3 part APs have introductions that are any shorter!) So the background feels the need to explain why the PCs will eventually end up in location X, meet monster Y etc. (And there...

Absolutely not a requirement, but arguably the way D&D is "supposed" to be played from AD&D 2nd Edition onwards. What does it say on the back of the 5th edition Players Handbook? Genuine question, since I don't know. Pathfinder 1st edition says "The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game puts you in the...

Isn't that what the Forge tried to do? Once upon a time on EnWorld you couldn't even complain about sorcerers being underpowered, or have an important discussion about whether you can use a lance two-handed from horseback, without someone re-phrasing into Forge-ite terms that no one else...

I take something that isn't mine every time I breathe in. But I'm getting way off topic here.

Stealing ideas is nothing like stealing bread. And there is plenty of scope for people to disagree on what is wrong, without necessarily making any of them bad people. Paizo, for example, doesn't include Eladrin in Pathfinder because they think the inclusion of the word "Eladrin" in the 3.5 SRD...

WotC get a lot of benefit from other parties "playing nice", so nothing ever gets tested in court. Is "Underdark" part of their product identity, or is it just a generic term that anyone can use? We don't know, and Paizo etc. come up with their own names for it. Paizo ever renamed the Sunless...

The principle applies in most places, but that specific example doesn't. A UK example would be "hoovering the carpet" rather than vacuuming it. Xerox doesn't really apply here either. If "Shopped" means "Photoshopped" then that's maybe the closest we will get to a universal example. The...

You can also have a group of dwarves called Thorin, Dwalin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Gloin, Dori, Nori, Ori and Kili if you want, but not Balin (and possibly not Oin or Fili either).

When I ran it, we played through Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury first. It was quite easy to include some tie-ins to the Red Hand.
