If need be, this should be your party's exit...

I like this. It reminds me of John Wick's Orkworld - an RPG that started out as a 4000 word essay just so he could play an ork bard in a D&D game (the GM's attitude was that orcs are just speedbumps for adventurers) - and the concept of Trouble. Some people are born with a little Trouble, and...

Exactly. Everyone needs to eat, and doesn't have a lord to provide it, so it's often a choice of choosing to be an adventurer or choosing banditry. "I didn't choose the adventuring life. .... it chose me."

I feel adventurers in D&D are a lot like the Magnificent Seven in film. They're not trusted because they're not generally tied down to the community enough for others to vouch for them. They don't have a steady employment - say, being a hired gun for a ranch. They tend to be tougher than the...

I'd agree - a short rest is a worthwhile gamble, unless that time could be used better to get out of the complex. The resource they're lowest on might not just be HP, but information: where the Master is, what the Master is, number and disposition of remaining minions (hell, some may have seen...

Personally, I like the escape back to get a full rest outside, and come back in, prepared for stiffer resistance. Or, an option that will allow the group to find a place to hunker down and get that full rest relatively safely. Yes, you may have put the compound on full alert, but...

I'm an odd duck. My favorite D&D games will always be the Gold Box (funny side note - due to limitations on the Commodore 64, when my party fought the spectre in the library in Pool of Radiance, his level drain drained my half-elf cleric/fighter/magic-user from level 1/1/1 to level 255 and set...

We have a local place with about 70 burgers (they also have a pretty broad menu, including casseroles). Burgers can even be chicken. My go-to from there tends to be the General Forster, which is just a burger topped with pimento cheese. https://www.hotrods50sdiner.com/hotrodsmenu

I agree. I think it's interesting to show the Beacon but be mysterious about what it exactly does. I also liked showing the effects of dunamancy with the half-rotted horses for example

I have to admit - I was very surprised to see Johnathan Frakes in MN. I think the first episode was really good - showing the high magic the Dynasty uses with the dunamancy and the Empire's volstruckers. I think they also did a good job of showing how the Cobalt Soul is different from...

I agree. And it could also become an issue with time - if you have to sit and seperate the copper and electrum from the gold and platinum, it COULD lead to interruptions, be it from monsters returning to their lair, patrols, even rival adventuring parties.

I'd hazard a guess that the reason to bring up WoW is they have a subscription, and microtransactions. Most notably, the $90 mount you can buy. I know it would be easy to say - 'simple, don't buy the mount' - but the mount isn't just a cosmetic dinosaur. It gives material, in-game benefits...

That's good. Sounds like when they used to have Talks Machina back in the day.

"Stop the Seventh Order zealot", and "Traveller evaporated by mining beam" Traveller. The Seventh Order are an order of technopriests and cyborgs who joined our fleet fleeing Tinath. Their leader was uploading a virus to force humans in cryostasis into a Nexus - basically the Matrix.

That's what I remembered too - even though she started with the circus, Yasha was coming and going pretty often. I did notice a couple quick shots in the trailer of barbarians (about 1:26)- I mean, like two seconds at best - that may be Yasha's people who were living in the Dynasty.

I don't know. I haven't listened to the early C2 episodes in awhile, but the way I remember it, Yasha was tied more to the carnival specifically than Molly was, largely to do with Ashley being involved with Blindspot. I remember Yasha being largely set up originally as just the person who set...

What I want to see are the kithkin and how they'd work thoughtweft - "a collective, empathic consciousness unique to the Kithkin race, a halfling-like people known for their community and cooperation. This thoughtweft enables effortless communication, shared emotions, and coordinated action...

I agree. One mechanic I thoroughly enjoyed was having a blank world map and a list of sites/locations for the players and GM to place on the map. It might also be the first system I experienced where you built the characters together, out of the same point pool.

The best I remember was a 1e Seventh Sea campaign. It was a combination of their setting with the old cartoon show Pirates of Dark Water. I was a pirate from Avalon (English), who was also a member of the Merchants Guild - so when we weren't robbing ships, we were delivering cargo and...
