Easiest: Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue - they do one thing and dont need much else, mistakes dont matter Easy: Paladin, Monk - they add a bit of spice, but are easy enough to track. Moderate: Ranger, Warlock, Cleric, Bard - this is where making decisions starts Complex: Scorcerer, Druid - needs...

Oh I really like the 5.5 depiction, I hadnt seen that before. I always assumed the different pictures depicted different species of Owlbear too - so if we just go by fur/feather colour theres seems to be 3 or 4 different types depicted - the standard brown (1e, 2e, 3e, 4e), a grey (5e), snowy...

Alladin is interesting in showing just how far the islamic world extended - Alladin is from a City in China whereas the stories antagonist is a Sorcerer from the Maghreb (North Africa)! Nonetheless the story is told in Persia and its descriptions and details are entirely Middle Eastern. One...

IMC I made Owlbears and Griffons relatives of Velociraptors/Utahraptor and as raptors they have teeth and the raptor talon. Owlbears are the large robust form that go around on all fours due to their extra bulk. Aarakocra, Vrock and Achairai are also raptors

Maybe, she looked conflicted and got caught up in her own emotional trauma. Its already established she's got lots of psychological issues and disassociates herself from consequences - like she did with the murder during the robbery - so I can see her doing the same regarding Nala as proxy...

No she said Nala Ake is guilty - it was Braka who was using Nala as a proxy for the Federation. Yes she was a criminal who got arrested and jailed for the robbery - I'm assuming now she has been pardoned due to her assistance in the recapture of Braka.

Pretty much this. Neopets is a 'family friendly' game primarily aimed at children/tweens but still enjoyed by older players (many of the initial fans now being in their 30s or older) While safety tools are useful, it should have just been done as a blanket 'avoid sexual content' warning rather...

I like the ending very American College Drama. Overall it felt very X-Men, especially Tarimas navigation not-magic. The Trial was very tropey but suitably Star Trek.

Probably because of my love of the various Sinbad the Sailor movies of the 1950-1970's I absolutely love Al-Qadim and in particular the Golden Voyages, Corsairs of the Great Sea. Along with City of Delights. Its a fantastic setting that works well to capture a different flavour than the rest of...

Are you sure thats not just rounders?

thats one of those foreign Panini things, not a real two slabs of white bread and slice of roast beef Sandwich

personally, I think its sad that potatoes are so ubiquitous as I absolutely love Turnips! and make a point of putting turnips, parsnips and beets in all the stews that the PCs come across in their European analogue worlds. Of course I mainly play in a Eastern European/Balkans inspired setting...

it sounds more like Geekify were trying to take an IP that is fundamentally about feeding and training pets while you explore their world and turn it in to Pokemon battle arena. Neopets didnt like that approach, reacted to Neopet fan complaints and pulled back their licence, which is fine...

yeah, thats the point. The first Captain America movie was introducing WW2 era Captain America to a new movie watching audience and leant in to what he meant to the original WW2 story ie the USO Propaganda vignettes. Its Winter Soldier where we see the updated Captain America v corrupt...

I think Captain America did well with the material that it had - It wasnt a great movie, but it was good enough especially as the movie had to deal with the fact that the original Captain America was at his core a Pro America Propaganda piece, and a Boy Scout that needed to be introduced to a...

Must be cultural, I have a cousin who is an Airforce pilot (flying helicopters for the Navy funnily enough), he doesnt swear that much and certainly not like a sailor

yeah I agree, swearing and sex was used in Torchwood as a edgy shtick rather than a useful storytelling tool, it was unnecessary and added nothing useful to the show. Thats really the distinction to be made, is swearing part of good storytelling or just there for the 'cool kids'. I dont know...

So what kind of doorknobs can be played with in this game? With the factory long abandoned surely some knobs would have lost their grip, while others may have turned and now be left spinning. Even worse would be those knobs that become jammed up and sealed off from reality. It sounds like an...

Yeah I watched JL Unlimited, thats pretty much where all my knowledge of John Stewart comes from. The only other version I've seen is the terrible Ryan Reynolds movie. Green Laterns always been a bit of a secondary character for me, behind the big four of Sups, Batman, WW and Flash and far less...

I really like the Dungeon World Fronts as it gives an easy way to define your campaign tone and genre and let it grow from its set of Dangers and their Motivation rather than rigid plots. Dangers can be Factions (Organisations), Supernatural/Arcane Forces, Monsters or Cursed Places/Events and...
