A Superdungeon flavored M&M would be more straightforward, since there's already at least an attempt made at pricing. Putting aside spot-conversions of feats into advantages or low-cost effects/modifiers, the main issues would be in how item creation affects character point totals/subdividing th...

Thanks for a fun game, Ancient History. Herding cats must be a bitch. I for one would like to see the stat line for the mummy, if not their character description. Making clear I have never before played a VtM game, I suppose that if I were to want to take part in one with a similar premise and in th...

I'd like to know why (if?) she killed Rosa. Using his telepathy, Verge gets flashes from her mind - the dark saint she couldn't coerce or bluff into doing her bidding - Whether or not that's sufficient evidence for Monster Court is up to the reader. Rosa's death can be explained away in a couple of...

Compare it to the target of Stone Shape : Stone or stone object touched, up to 10 cu. ft. + 1 cu. ft./level. Expressing an effect in terms of potential area affected instead of by total potential volume of material affected, as found in the transmute spells, would suggest that much of those cubes mi...

Any more opinions on springing the Daughters of Lilith to satisfy Eris? As it stands Verge is against and Stan is for it.

While Clay starts the truck, Stan simultaneously turns on the cab's external speaker and the charm (spend a point on Awe, so as to not be especially overt) as he intersperses threats betwixt his sonic velvet: "Ms. Stephanopolous, we cotton to the Traditions in this town. I don't need to quote t...

Aesthetic considerations notwithstanding, the demonstration video shows the device to be perhaps better suited as a sheath to be fitted over a modified poultry baster. Plus the dude is totally missing out on shilling personalized nymphs placed within silicon eggs in lieu of playing with gelatin.

You mean Seth. I updated the character's locations.

First, why the fuck are the Ethereal and Astral planes different-fuck-places? Neo-Theosophy had both, and Gygax conflated the notion of an etheric body with aether/akasha/quintessence so as to have a way for parties to travel to the Plane of Fire. I'm curious to hear what planes people think matter...

PotC In hindsight, I would have taken the Sheriff's department as a military force and the Sheriff as a retainer, for example.

Stan's drivers (one wielding an aluminium bat, the other a pistol) attempt to pull Stan into a vehicle, while he pushes air through the wet ruin that was his face in hopes of reasserting his Presence.

None of the group's joint holdings were specified as being suited to mass imprisonment, and transporting them there would either reveal a hidden location or put...
