My assumption is most traps have tells. The fun is if the tell is: 1. Very subtle so that only a character with a specific trap finding ability(racial, trait, feat, spell, other) can find it. 2. Can be spotted by normal characters taking the time to actively look. Perception type check when...

In the past, my groups experimented with using Star Fleet Battles Impulse Movement charts for D&D/PF combat. It can really change the tactics when each character only moves 1 hex/square per impulse. And can 'fire' any time they want, assuming they have a non-move action left. It has the side...

The tree circle could be a variation on the Fairy Circle, commonly of mushrooms. For more southern cultures, green auroras would be rare and might be associated with bad stuff on the way. Then get handed down as green sun instead of green night sky.

Just starting, Fighting Fantasy Solo Adventure Books Part 2 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjgames/fighting-fantasy-solo-adventure-gamebooks-set-2 Longer pledge period then a lot of SJG KS. Thanks for the Loke mention. Backed this one. Have a bunch of their stuff.

US folks should note that the GM screen says it fits A4 paper size so the slightly wider US standard letter may be a snug fit. Probably not a huge deal unless you swap sheets often.

While the topic is tagged D&D, I really don't care for the Accounting in <game setting> anymore. Played enough Accountants in Space Traveller games. Fun once. Ok the 2nd time. No longer fun. I hate doing my taxes in real life. Don't want to manage double row financial books in my RPG. A...

And some more background. Adventure name. Approx publish date. etc. Someone might have the entire thing and can reference a legend.

"What unpublished works?" I typed this up last month......

Don't really observe the 'First Thanksgiving' type of thing. More a bunch of us getting together to share food and catch up. Not an all day Hobbit thing(that sounds cool!) but one meal with a lot of socializing afterwards. Sometimes even some gaming.

For OP's question, look at Post and Beam construction for framing. Not sure when plaster and lathe came in but pretty sure that is what the 2nd poster is thinking of. A lot of Fantasy RPG buildings probably just had the outer sheathing and left the interior framing exposed. If you assume a...

If DC is going to keep Gal Gadot, keep her as WW. Otherwise, why pay the salary for Gadot and a new salary for a new WW actor? If they just have to do the switch, pick a character other then Harley Quinn and fit the costume. Margot Robbie should play HQ for as long as she wants. Gal was OK...

Very happy its not a reboot. Getting rather tired of yet another origin story for well established franchises. Sad that it is Amazon Prime Video. Don't buy enough stuff with fast shipping needs to justify the cost.

A problem with 'one size fits all' type gifts is often one or more of the recipients doesn't really need or want that type of item. Personally, I don't really want any more dice or dice bags. I have a set that works well. A couple of my friends don't understand this concept and keep gifting...

Ghostbusters - "Lenny, You will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters." Aliens - "All right. We take off. Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." ST -The Search for Spock - "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

If the purchase of the building resulted in no mortgage, the bank account should increase fairly quickly. Plus the benefit of already knowing most of the maintenance costs. Congrats on the purchase. Being immune from sudden rent increases is nice. As one who has played Traveller since the...
