You'd have a bunch of themed decks which overlap with the decks that PCs can select from, is my first guess. So, e.g. Cthulhu would be drawing from the Dreams, Water, and Tentacles decks, while Yog-Sothoth would have Travel and Summoning. But that's the problem. Putting together a bunch of differen...

Enemies in a Winds of Fate Deck RPG
First off, and in all caps: DO NOT ARGUE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK WINDS OF FATE IS A GOOD SYSTEM. I am trying to make a Winds of Fate system, and therefore do not care if you like it or not, or if you think it's a terrible system or not. It's the one I'm fucking using, so only bother to commen...

Do the werewolves sexually molest wolves? ...I'm not sure if you're trolling, but: They have a social structure that is similar to wolf packs, but none of them ever sexually molest wolves. Seriously, not one of them ever. That would be fucking creepy. They are a self-sustaining species who mate tru...

Hm, both posters have commented that I lack robot people despite the homunculus intending to be robot people. Definitely have to make their role more explicit in the text. Also, good point about beastman/werewolf overlap. Would it be better to take out beastmen, whose point was a variety of animalis...

Setting: The Monsters You Actually Want to Play
So I'm just writing up a fantasy setting, like you do, and I was wondering if my spread of fantasy species was inclusive and diverse enough for player tastes while maintaining some good setting consistency. These will be the entirety of the cognizant species in the world, so barring planar travel or...

Mind flayers, githyanki, yuan-ti, and other psionic creatures can create psionic effects without having levels in a psionic class (although they can take a psionic class to further enhance their abilities); such creatures have the psionic subtype. Characters using dorjes, cognizance crystals, and o...

My society put a man on the moon. I have a magic mirror in my pocket that talks and has encyclopedic knowledge of all things. I am eating a tropical fruit in the middle of winter. A tiny orchestra of perfect skill and infinite variety lives in a pair of tiny boxes that flank my desk. It's four o'cl...

The idea of Exalted's mass combat
So there are quite a few ways to do mass combat in an RPG. One of the ways, made "popular" by Exalted, is to simply have troops be an equipment for your hero. This really isn't anything new- there are plenty of video games that use the concept, where troop number is basically your hit poin...

I've actually ran part of the World's Largest Dungeon. Only part of it, because it is boring as all fuck. Like Kaelik said, the intro is all fiendish darkmantles, and that sets the pace- every area is just the same creatures spammed over and over with little variety, no noteworthy quests or fun NPCs...

In 3.5, the raising monsters part is very easy: if they are animal intelligence, you use the Handle Animal skill to rear the young and teach them tricks. If they are above animal intelligence, fuck off. Taming adult monsters has no rules as far as I am aware, other than shit like Dragon Leadership o...

But in the modern world, millions of people go missing every year. This is off by three orders of magnitude. In the modern world there are millions of missing persons cases filed, but the vast majority are resolved within 48 hours. In the United States there are more than half a million missing p...

Ok we have both Kaelik and Emerald making motions for a size based bonus to hp. Let's us make low levels less lethal and let big things have a bit more HP without going to crazytown with the HD. Something like Small +5 Medium +10 Large +20 Huge +30 Gargantuan +40 Colossal +60. If there aren't any o...

Mystic Eyes is a stupid way to write durations for anything. Also all but two of the Mystic Eyes are personal only, and of the two that aren't, one of them is pointless to use twice on the same target and one is healing. So you wrote an entire stupid resource system to govern personal effect buffs ...
