    Sunday Chat: What New Editions Were Upgrades? Which Ones Were Downgrades?

    I enjoyed BECMI more than AD&D. 3e was a fun new direction, 4e a strange tangent that has managed to prove itself by comparison to 5e - 5e is in the weird place of being useful but uninspiring, is that an upgrade?

    Friday Worldbuilding Fun: Supers Appear in Different Eras and/or Settings

    I recalled a couple of days ago a Superheroes game we did in which the characters were all inspired by Fairytale characters eg CINDR Ella with her magical ball gown instead wore a "Chroma-Inductive Neuro-Dynamic Reactive suit" that generates hardlight structures adapted to look like clothes to...

    I've just remembered that Kingsley is now in his 80's, he's doing really well, considering his 'maturity' and here's a picture - I can see why no-one would recognise Trevor Slattery from this

    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    Yeah it became clear a while ago that gods are irrelevant in DnD where dragons, primordials, Arch fey and even mortal spellcasters are on par with extra planar dieties. What is important to gameplay is religious factions, sects, temple rituals and tenets of belief. The actual Diety is mostly...

    Thats rather the point of the MCU - any story is possible within its shared universe. Its rather elitist to say that Wonder Man doesnt belong

    Friday Worldbuilding Fun: Supers Appear in Different Eras and/or Settings

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? The problem with going back to the mythic ages (Mesopotamia, Hellenic Greece, Ancient China etc) is that Superheroes are also mythic characters hence Hercules, Thor, Gilgamesh and Sun Wukong are all recurring Superheroes. Medieval, Renaissance, Age of Sail...

    Simon Williams was originally a "Wealthy Industrialist" who went bankrupt trying to compete with Stark Industries, thus he blamed Tony, which allowed Zemo to manipulate him. Zemo used "Ionic Energy" to turn Simon into a "living engine of destruction" to rival Thor and Hulk. It was after his...

    D&D General Friday Fun: What Are Your Top 3 Playable Species

    Yeah its a fairly conservative list with Humans, Elfs and Dwarves absolutely dominating, with a bit of mild flavour via Elf lite (Half-Elf, Tiefling) notably they're visually appealing species with pleasingly human aesthetics. Warforged gives a bit of mechanical artifice ;) and seem to have...

    Only watched 2 episodes so far, I like it. I surprised that choose to go for a serious tone, I was expecting more parody given the 'making a superhero movie" premise and well Wonderman
