No these are great, I really like that top image

The art is okay but I don't think it captures a Horror style very well, it certainly doesnt convey gothic horror (not that new Ravenloft is gothic). I suppose it might convey some Lovecraftian Scoobydoo

One of my characters wears a wide brimmed slouch hat and a great coat made of living shadow, his eldritch blade is a broadsword formed from shadow and his eldritch blast is the cloak billowing around him and whipping out in long tendrils. The shadow cloak also makes great fx for darkness, blur...

The Swarm Keeper Ranger was very good in as much as the Swarm was merely an extension of the ranger rather than getting separate actions. So when the ranger gets a successful hit, the swarm surges and adds damage or shoves the opponent, at level 3 the swarm can be extended out as a manifestation...

Ah yes, Maia and those bloody pesky VulcansElves! The Blue Wizards were Maia too, they were sent East while Gandalf and the others went west. Dwarfs and Humans required artifacts to access magic however - the Nazgul gained their corruption from the Rings, Beorns powers were magical but according...

In Middle Earth only Maia can use magic, there are quite a few fantasies were 'Witch' is considered a species rather than a Vocation. Then you have stories like Turtledoves "Case of the Toxic Spell Dump" or Heinleins Magic Inc where magic has been industrialised and is commonly used replacement...

What about the 2e Tempest ie The Living Storm Cloud https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Tempest_(Creature) or the Maw of Sekola or maybe Scylla (posted above) or a Riptide Horror which we created right here at Enworld :)

Are we talking Christorpher Reeve Superman? Still the best :)

does it though? Take Replicators or Programmable Matter as examples - both are sci fi but with minimal justification as to how it works. The Doctors Sonic Screwdriver can do all kinds of 'stuff' that could also be done with Glinda's magic wand. Johnny-5 gets hit by lightning and is suddenly...

I actually found character creation in 3.5 to be easier than in 5e. It may be because I previously played GURPs but I found that the options of 3.5e made for easy plug n play to get the exact character I wanted all working logically together in a clear framework. 5e hasnt got that same plug n...

yeah I agree that 3.5e was the best version of DnD except Pathfinder :) of course I mainly play FATE and similar rules lite narrative first games now, but I do appreciate 3.5e and beleive that it is better than 5x

Anyone remember the old Galaxy Rangers cartoon? Theres an interesting episode in which the Rangers visit the planet Tarkon, which on the surface is a medieval society which uses magical amulets, staves of telekinesis and sending stones. Anyway the psychic ranger Niko takes centre stage when they...

Heh, I thought Karl Urban was a bit too old to be playing Johnny Cage, but as washed-up Johnny he might just pull off a good performance

I had considered doing that first - Best Characte Poll and then a vote on books featuring that character but as the Poll allowed all 41 entries I decided to list them all instead. As it is my favourite characters in order are Susan Sto Helit, Rob Anybody, DEATH, Igor, Granny Weatherwax, Sam...

The first thing the name invoked in my mind was DCs Creature Commandos and only later connected the Monstrous Regiment of Women (which I was only vaguely aware of). The trope is well established regardless (I think I may have watched the BBC production of Tipping the Velvet just prior to reading...

Prior to the 15th Century that is how it worked - any Knight could knight their Squire. The Biggest restriction was the need for the new Knight to have expensive armour, weapons and a Horse - which meant that he had to have Wealthy sponsors/family. (the other thing is Knights were constantly...

if you can imagine that being towed by a pair of giant hamsters, thats how I imagined the wagons of Orbril the Gnomes Grand Circus Maximus :)

TEAM FUSION - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - TEAM REACTIVATION PROTOCOLS!!! With a look back at the hydra pool from which Bjorn was now emerging, Shade-9 did a final overview scan to ensure that the subsurface ripples had subsided and creature below had truly not been disturbed. Rivulets of water traced...
