Honestly, a Wisdom save should suffice for that sort of thing if needed.

I disagree - "specific to D&D" shouldn't be the mascot qualification. "Best Represents" should be the qualification in my opinion, even if it came from generic fantasy. If I have to pick one monster, I'd probably go Red Dragon in the end.

In the past, May used to be the month I'd go to the movies quite a lot. There are definitely some movies I do want to see (watched Godzilla x Kong on Vudu last night, for example), but I no longer like the cinema experience. It's just more enjoyable at home where it's less expensive, I can...

Overall, on the fighter, I see them as being the jack-of-all-trades with weapon and armor. They should be able to pick up anything to fight with and be good with it. The ranger, paladin and barbarian are more specialists in their own field. The ranger is an ambusher with sword and bow and...

Never give your direct competitors money! ;)

Why not both? I mean, you don't have to limit it to one monster. Throw an illithid in there too (riding a Displacer beast), all about to throw down on a party (don't need to show the party, just the monsters getting ready).

Does get me thinking though - any familiarity with Space 1889? Ethership travel to Mars (and Venus), with lots of John Carter vibes (and lots of colonialism going on too...).

I'm sure it'll require Season Pass or some other money transaction, but I think I might see if I can at least pick up the beholder shell...

d20 was pretty much the height of that, I think after the bubble burst everybody went back to their own home systems. Non-D&D, I think I enjoy Savage Worlds, Alternity, World of Darkness and the Cortex system for handling tackling different eras outside of quasi-medieval fantasy. If nothing...

Looks like this is the version I'll be picking up!

"And the best part is that Eric even warned the group about it!"

Not so much the 3E version, beyond "Hey, look - Dracula!" It had the morose, staid - if not decaying feel of Gothic age in writing, but the mechanics very much leaned into Pulpy Action. As stated above, you could easily use it to run League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and it wouldn't feel out...

Yep, it pretty much is a "What if the stories that Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, Poe, Kipling, Verne, Twain and all the other wrote were true?"

You're getting to hung up on the horror aspect. Masque IS NOT HORROR. It's D&D set in the 1890's, and you can roll the timeframe forward or backward as you desire. It's simply a modernish setting. The 3E version was put out by White Wolf under their Sword & Sorcery imprint. I tried...
