What makes Ronan more powerful than, say, Tony Stark? Isn't he just a normal mortal that wanders the universe blowing up what he perceives as enemies of the Kree? Good question. In the comics (and since we have no information either way from the movies, we might as well assume the same goes for the...

I converted the module to 3.5 and ran it for a group I GMed way back in college. But in the process of adapting it to the modern rules paradigm I made it rather less arbitrary and deadly. Which was for the best since not only did I insert it into an ongoing campaign, but (in order for this sort of &...

Not a game question per se but it's for a game and it's pretty fantastical, so this seemed more appropriate than the MPSIMS thread... If someone were to steal, say, an in-development weapon prototype (from the US government) and then gave it to a third party, but the third party was not involved in ...

But DDM, that was already addressed. If you live in Grand Forks and you want to have a 30-member vampire LARP, then you take advantage of the fact that the exact distribution of the 30k isn't defined anywhere. There's more than enough space in the US to absorb whatever demographic oddities you creat...

So if I'm reading you right you're saying that yes, as fun as they are to read, all those pages spent on Gun and Fu schticks are in fact a waste of space from the perspective of actually playing the game, and if you wanted to write an edition of Feng Shui that aspired to being good, you'd cut them d...

Feng Shui design space?
Feng Shui 1e was, for its time, a great game. Feng Shui 2, 20 years later, was mostly a great disappointment, with rule changes and schtick writeups that, notwithstanding a few genuine improvements, bore every sign of having been ad-libbed by a roomful of Jammers with typewriters. But as I try to dr...

As long as he has it within his range to be a little less... jolly than his usual ouvre, I think this sounds like brilliant casting. Is Gotrek really all that different from Prince Vultan in a fatalistic mood?

Well, it's a little more of an issue than that because it's not the Paladin themselves who decides what justifications will fly, but the Big Guy in the Sky. But basically, what Frank said is correct. Plenty of leeway for a Paladin to kill people as long as it's the right people for the right reasons...

This is the opposite of true. If the basic unit of encounter is one level appropriate Brute, then you can't have regular encounters with boss monsters at all. If you are already intending to have 4 Hill Giants appear at level 6, then you can make a regular encounter that has 2 Hill Giants and a Fro...

This is dumb and also fails to understand the core principle of tiering in the first place. The Wraith is a level 4 enemy because you have the tools to fight it at 4th level. It's not a tossup at 1st level, it will fucking wreck you. It's true, that was a dumb suggestion. It was intended to illustr...

If you're using Frank's suggested lower levels for arcane Evocations (these) , what levels should you assign to divine Evocations like Flame Strike and Fire Storm? Flame Strike is basically the cleric's Fireball and has previously been higher level to be worse... but does it need to be 2nd level whe...
