I started this thinking I would like the themes but I just was not enjoying the music and bailed pretty early.

d20 Menace Manual (d20M) d20 Modern Undead, Undead Creature: An undead is a once-living creature animated by spiritual or supernatural forces. Bodak: The fraal, or grays, occasionally come into conflict with true evil, just as humans do. A fraal slain by a force of evil becomes a bodak—a kind of...

I remember a British radio production of The Shadows Over Innsmouth which was great except the pronunciation of Innsmouth as inns mouth was grating to my New England native ears.

Euthanatos followed by the Cult of Ecstasy. Death mages I just was not clear on their reality paradigm as a cosmology and how that fit into clear archetypes. There was a little about reincarnation but nothing that clearly jumped out at me. Ecstasy did not seem to be that big a paradigm either...

I also got the sense that a lot of sons of ether were fairly individualistic on their scientific paradigms. One's death ray might work on different principles than another's leading to less consensus on how to collectively influence the dominant paradigm of the principles of reality.

Wrath & Rage 3.0 Anathema Creature: In addition to their physical impact on a region, orcs cast a long psychic shadow wherever they lair. The stench of defeat and rage follows them everywhere, and whatever they touch for long carries the taint of futile, incoherent fury. In rare cases, orcs’...

Wilderness & Wasteland 3.0 Bog Mummy: For unknown reasons, corpses that have been preserved by Titan-tainted bogs have been reported to stalk their final resting place. Bog mummies resemble shriveled and desiccated versions of their former selves, wearing the tattered remains of their clothing...

A point worth emphasizing is that an unarmed strike is not a light weapon so you need something like the monk class ability to punch ( or grapple) as a bonus action. The tavern brawler origin feat and the unarmed fighting fighting style feat do not allow you to make unarmed bonus attacks. An...

That makes sense with Greenwood being behind so many new monsters in Dragon.

Oh yeah, the whole coincidental magic theme clashed a bit with a lot of my group who when they play powerful reality shaping beings want to throw actual fireballs or pull out crazy mad scientist devices. I was on board to hypnotize people with my crystal pendant and be undercover mage man, but...

I really like the concept of NWoD Changeling the Lost where you are magically warped escaped former kidnap victims of Mythos like True Fae. I incorporated some of that into my D&D/pathfinder games. I have not used any Changeling the Dreaming concepts or stuff. In theory I like the more werewolf...

I haven't played D&D for over a year now, but I am a player in a weekly online fantasy game using a non-D&D homebrew system. I think when I start going back to my face to face group they are currently doing a d20 modern x-files type campaign. I still really like D&D and a lot of D&D discussions...

Lillend I recognize from 2e and 3e but not the other three, where did they show up later?

I found the Paizo APs were pretty bad about not having a consistent recurring villain, often having the end boss only be introduced in the last module. Often this is because the typically six modules are written by different authors and they focus more on their assigned theme and on making them...

I remember my brother got excited about playing a Son of Ether mad scientist. I can no longer remember what my friends played or who was running it. A couple things. I think the GM was not entirely comfortable with what open ended magic was supposed to be able to do conceptually or mechanically...

Looks like stuff that was later added to the 1e Unearthed Arcana ranger update, mostly expanding the giant class list for FF and MM II stuff. UA has provision for rangers with specialization though. From the CD: Humanoid/giant class opponents Following is an expanded list of those humanoid...

Not sure what is going on with the line going down from the center one's nose, is that an indication of being inhuman? A binding to keep its mouth sealed? A mark on the cover and not something that should be part of its face?
