Was looking through Fighting Fantasy RPG this morning - PC Stats are Skill, Stamina and Luck so a very simplified and abstracted attribute system - which while it is much more abstract than DnDs classic 6 does still show a system is needed to add the G to the RP. Fighting Fantasy does use...

What I would love to see is a way for Skill based stunts to be codified so that a characters Skills can be used to do cool things rather than needing a feat for it. Things like Athletics being used to doing scissor kick takedowns, or wallruns or my Intelligence:Tactician Skill allowing a fighter...

to avoid that I'd only have 1 Primal Companion (Ruh the Tiger), and run Podo and Kodo and the Eagle as 'special abilities' Sherak - Beast Sense - Once per short rest the Beast Master can concentrate on a Beadt and see through its eyes Podo and Kodo - Tiny Thief - Once per short rest you can...

Besides Pendragon - which is excellent Arthurian romance - there is in fact a Green Knight RPG based on the movie, it uses playbooks and PC doing acts of honour/dishonour are its key driver, so probably best for oneshots. Mythras Mythic Britain has some excellent historic research on post-Roman...

I like FATE Accelerated Approaches which they describe as telling you HOW a PC does something rather than WHAT a person can do (the old Attribute-Skill method). There are still 6 Approaches and they're pretty standard (Forceful, Flashy, Careful, Clever, Quick and Sneaky) but they can easily be...

Skynets original purpose was to detect threats to its existence and to give proportionate nuclear response taking that as a base - it has identified the human threat and eliminated it, it now needs to target any rogue AI including malfunctioning parts of its own system. It thus begins a wide...

I think the 6 stats are fine but their are certain skills that need to be removed or changed. First I think that Perception needs to be passive only, and that any active searching for things should be handled by Investigate making it a "Observation-Deduction" pair. I also want to add a...

You also have the situation where the American Colonist came in distinct waves from different origins points to different destinations - they didnt have the same culture nor an automatic sense of community. Puritans came out of East Anglia and settled New England as a tight, dour religious...

The Persian Prophet Mani had once declared the Kingdom of Axum one of the four Great Powers alongside Persia, Rome and China, and indeed Axum had a cosmopolitan society home to the local Cushitic, Egyptian and Sudanese peoples as well as wider Semitic, Greek and Indian influences. These...

From the green terraces of the uplands to the bustling harbours of Adulis, Axum is a realm of splendour and ambition, where incense and gold flow freely, and every stone whispers tales of glory. When the Empire was swept into this new world, it brought a grand civilization of merchants, priests...

Cities are rife with adventure potential oof every sort. My advice, set up some dynamic Factions and NPC hooks first and then let your PCs set out wirh their own goals

Yeah I shifted to running Kaiju as terrain challenges a while back, splitting the creature into zones with their own damage goals. So Legs can be climbed or disabled, bodies traversed while avoiding or disabling attacks from arms/wings etc, then the head being vunerable only if the arms are...

my first homebrew I did a Great Britain analogue called "Cruithne" and based it on a mix of Dal Riata, Hen Ogledd, the Ulster Cycle and The Book of Invasions of Erenn. I then moved to the continent and became fascinated with eastern europe rather than western - so Slavic, Baltic and Albanian...

last one I enjoyed was Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, set in 1920s Melbourne, Australia. its a decade old now...

create a rhyming couplet "Hand of Flame must touch the Heart of Stone ere the Moon is broken to let the seed be grown" Have the PCS interpret it as they will "Hand of Flame = research identifies a lost artifact (a gauntlet) called the Hand of Flame must touch the Heart of Stone = a stone...

I like it to be as fantastical as it needs to be while still being believable and fun to play in, I like talking animals, palaces made of crystal and floating islands but I want them to be fantastic set peices that the PCs explore and go wow - I dont want them so common that the PCs shrug and go...

Yes, the implication of "without China' is that China be cut out of the industry entirely, and there is no reason to do that. Getting around US tariffs is a US specific question, the rest of the world still exists

Im tending to type 5e abd 5e24

China isnt going anywhere, why does the question need to be asked?
