Yes I did appreciate that detail when I wrote it:) but left it anyway as WW1 was pretty much the last hurrah and final collapse of the 19th Century empires and sensibilities. It may not be strict chronology but sociologically the 20th Century developed in the wake of WW1

can I ask what the Hags villainous plot was? While I've used a few hags and made them monstrous and cannibalistic I've not been able to sustain them as antagonist, I tend to lean heavily into their mythic role as crone representing the bleakness of winter so they most often become more guides...

As both a DM and a Player I like Factions as world building tools and ideally as story engines. Factions help signal what's important in the campaign, provide clear NPC motivation and help anchor PC engagement within the setting. Moreover Faction interactions and rivalries in particular make...

That hierarchy hasnt existed since 2e, especially once they made kobolds into runt dragons and even moreso now that goblins are fey. Orcs are in the strange place of having become increasingly more 'human' over the years, so we get the weird place of 2024 making them in to Vaqueros. I would...

Yes 2024 Backgrounds suck enough to put me off the whole game. Despite a couple of improvements I overall prefer the 2014 version.

Umm - sometimes cultures move? Maybe the Orcs got displaced and were forced to move?

Since taking on the philosophy that everything is a dungeon - well dungeons are everything:) Even exploring a Bazaar on a shopping trip can be a chance for exploration, overcoming challenges and reward Dragons are a background element, rarely knowingly encountered (though who knows which NPCs...

I like using skills to circumvent combat -stealth, trickery, fast talk and explosions - so whatever class facilitates that whether frivolity of a gnome prankster or the dour seriousness of a shadowed assassin. Its the concept thats important, not the class

Doctor Who is still a high value flagship production for BBC, even without Disney money the BBC wants to maintain the property as an income earner from international sales and licensing deals. Yeah the Disney money was nice, though I didnt see much difference in the output and am one of the...

Ncuti made a career decision to quit early and do other stuff. I suspect the xmas special will be Billie Piper as Not-Doctor on a search for actual Doctor. (Im still going with my theory thats she's an avatar of the TARDIS) It would be great to see Susan Foreman come back too Im looking...

I could see two players working together as Dragon and Rider with some kind of Bond feat allowing them to coordinate better but generally dont like the idea of players running 2 PCs unless everyone is doing it. I could see the playing the Dragon with a dumb rider, but thats an entirely...

TEAM FUSION(?) = SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Operation Hydra Shade-9 had maintained his position monitoring the interactions in the caverns and in the water around him, processing mission variables, collating data, updating internal protocols. But the revelation that followed the surge in divine energy...

I like the Banneret If they want a dragonrider just bring back Drakewarden

Not to mention the whole Laboratory of Kwalish! Googles of Night Vision Warforged

we are an enlightened lot who know that ones mental, emotional and spiritual healing are as important as their physical meat

OMG Dallas !!!! btw Dallas Edge of Empire sounds like a great title for a new book - are you tempted to do it? A game of Power, Passion, Secrets and Drama

but if I'm out foraging in the forest then survival is what I use to identify the things I can eat - so sure by raw it might not tell me if an unknown fruit is poisonous but it will tell me if it is not edible, which is all I need to know about it.

I'd put weather prediction, terrain lore, wayfinding, finding water, identifying edible/medicinal/poisonous plants and knowing cycles under Survival - If I'm in the wilderness hunting then I need to know where its safe to go, what the weather is doing, what plants I can eat and what to avoid...

1 Okay so looks like Aywin and Shade-9 are the divers - sneak in and grab the idol from under the sleeping Hydra 2 Frog-Bjorn to take point in the water monitoring the hydra and fish, backup if Aywin or I fail (ie get caught) 3 We will need a Shore crew to keep an eye on the Hydra and to...

Youve covered some nice options, unfortunately medicine is undermined by healing spells and easy rest options. If spells were skill based Id require medicine skill to use cure spells. So maybe for a start allow a med check to stabilize to +1d6, scale up with level xd6? Healing on a short...
