Since medieval europe was almost constantly at war most every adventure ought to have war as a backdrop. I've just finished playing an engineer during the War of Spanish Succession, my team of pionniers were specialist bridgebuilders and sapeurs sent ahead of the fighting legions to secure...

could be an interesting role play opportunity - the obsessive alchemist working to find the secret of immortality who fails to notice that they have been poisoned by their own experiments and that they've been dead for three years

One of the issues that people cite regarding 3.5e is the proliforation of feats, especially 3rd party splatbook feats which were sometimes pointless, unbalance or not well considered. Feat chains in particular could lock you into rigid lines that ended up being traps - though personally I think...

Abjuration is absolutely terrifying - just think about what the Imprisonment Spell can do, its full on buried alive/locked inside a tiny gem horror. Armour of Agathys turns your physical vissage to ice, Blade bariers allows you to grab swords with your bare hands, Alarms and Wards are all those...

TEAM FUSION - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - Don't disturb the hornets nest! Shade-9 moved with deliberate precision along the north-eastern shoreline, each step placed with calculated care as he assessed the rock beneath his feet, slick with a thin sheen of clinging algae. Behind and ahead, the team...

yeah having Angela active in the show was a surprise but it is nice to see that the kept the same actress. Apparently she's 15? so I suppose the figure that in a couple of seasons she'll be old enough to suit her up and give her some actual action scenes.

yes she travelled by spaceship through a vortex. Nonetheless in Visitors from Earth, two more 'Earth creatures' arrive and after their ship is repaired, it manages to make a return trip between Eternia and Earth orbit (and He-Man manages to breath in space). We also know that Orko can open...

We never actually see Adams childhood in the cartoons, so who is to say what the preteen Adam was doing? Queen Marlena Glenn is an Earth Woman by canon, so having Adam Glenn grow up on Earth isnt that much of a stretch

yeah 2014 Backgrounds were better, 2025 Backgrounds are junk (it was my biggest issue with 5.5e)

I decided to try a different approach and well, maybe it could work afterall... “Sheila!” Bobby barked, slamming the screen door so hard it triggered the House Alarm Ritual causing a faint silvery shimmer to settle down over the porch. “Call the Sheriff’s Office and tell ‘em it’s not a prank...

yeah but Contemporary Fantasy in our world doesnt run well on DnD rules - it would seem that DnD just doesnt work for normal modern world but with magic since DnD Worlds are high magic by default

I do the following for my factions now combining Fronts, some Blades in the Dark Turf rules and pushing PC Hooks I came up with this: NAME: Redbrand BanditsTYPE: Criminal Street Gang (Level 2) TERRITORY: Phandalin and Surrounding Area Local Trade RoutesSTABILITY: +2/5 Lieutenant jostle for...

Culture is a better model to vary humans as it avoids bioessentialism veering into racism. Humans with a Agrarian culture or a Seafaring culture might hail from anywhere, even if Humans with a Desert Nomad culture have a much more obvious analogue. Of course once you get down to specific...

Another idea I have considered is adapted from the ReBoot cartoon and The Matrix Movies The Loom of Reality is the underlying operating system for all existence. While the common folk experience it as a physical world of stone, air, and magic, it is actually a complex, multi-layered execution...

The story does say Carson Napier made a miscalculation by forgetting to adjust for the moons influence and gets caught in the gravitational pull of Venus. So yeah he wasnt too good at orbital mechanics

the Moon Maid has a cannibalistic centaur race? Carson Napier becomes a Psychic. Sky Pirate? Flying Stegosaurs?- Swords, Psychic powers, Monsters and Flying vehicles are all aspects of fantasy and its all set in a modern world

While Barsoom is portal fantasy (and set in 1866), Barsoom is part of a shared universe that includes the Carson Napier of Venus stories (he builds a rocket and attempts to fly to Barsoom in 1931 but crashlands on Venus instead). David Innes goes to Pellucidar in 1914 then Tarzan goes to...

Ah Barsoom is a good reference - especially as we can pin 'Magic as technology' on harnessing of the Ninth Ray. The Ninth Ray is collected in the Atmosphere Factory of Helium and converted to energy. It helps create Barsooms atmosphere, allows its ships to fly, can be used for teleportation and...

I think we should probably get off the gun debate and get on to the Setting debate - so for that purpose I present some core setting assumptions Heroic Fantasy Genre: The setting is designed for "heroic fantasy." Player characters are exceptional, and the world is populated by various threats...

Or you could make Guns v Magic a central pillar. Obviously lightning and fireballs are gun killers, they make gunpowder explode, and metal weapons unusable. At the sametime silver bullets are effective against werewolves and rock salt destroys ghosts, hags and fey. Both sides start...
