Re: Design Request: cool substitutes for the D&D IP monsters
Is there a particular reason to care about them? Anyway, call 'em chaos frogs and brown brutes or whatever. As mentioned above, the point is apparently to run published adventures with only open source materials. nockermensch, why do you need to actually do that? The copyright police isn't going to...

As I recall, Frank is fond of pointing out the Gith are already open source (they were invented by G. R. R. Martin, who released them to the public after Charles Stross infringed copyright), and that the Ilithids are rip-offs of Star Spawn of Cthulhu, which are also open source. Serpent-men are of c...

Permission is tricky though. On multiple occasions I've been given permission to choke women to the point of unconsciousness but if something went wrong I'd be considered legally responsible. I got into a bit of a scuffle a while back when I accidentally gave someone a concussion during a scene. I ...

I still can't wrap my head around the slopes thing. Like, I understand and even accept the dungeon levels thing, but in a more vertical dungeon, I would expect the next tier of monsters to be a coupe hundred feet below the previous one. If you were to get any significant change in elevation via a pa...

Well, I mean, it's unicorn masterrace in the show, too, so... Non-major-character unicorns never do anything impressive (never seen anything but basic TK and light from one) and don't appear to be ruling much of anything. Pegasi on the other hand have the fairly significant power of flight, regular...

It's probably more absurd that any amount of craftsmanship can make functional brass knuckles more effective than it is that the price on that craftsmanship should be 300x the base case. Like, I carry a masterwork dagger , and its MSRP is, in fact, 300 currency units more than an ordinary commodity...

As much as I hate Bear World, I acknowledge using a system made specifically to disempower players on a horror game is not a terrible idea. It might even work. I think there is a review of some kind somewhere around here that made it clear the game considers it of vital importance the players know ...

The Tick causes property damage via his superleaping. So does Allison Green. The Tick convinces himself that the good guys have saved the day even when they took so long that the laser carved parts of the moon; Allison convinces herself that there are no more supervillans when Menace surrenders.

Are the rest that bad? Because that one apparently says that in order to get Willpower you need to suffer from Randy Orton Syndrome Intermittent Explosive Disorder or ASPD. Do they all mandate that you be a total fucking asshole? Sloth only requires you to circumvent the need for work, but the rest...

As I recall from Frank 's experience, if ye don't take control of a Zombie Chimera for everyone to surprise-attack flying-archer people, ya'll gonna die. It's less about surprise attacking and more about the black dragon in the lake murdering you if you try to use a boat instead of flying over. Thr...

If you're fine with players never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever crafting items, then sure. But if they can buy items with the same resources they can spend to fucking roll on random charts, they are going to cast divination to find the one that already has the qualities they wan...

Don't heroes in these stories start out as high level as they are going to be and just get new items to further supplement them? I don't believe these people 'level up' in the sense that characters do in DnD. Stories where the protagonist starts as a total noob, with some old masters commenting on ...

evil elf chick Pardona The Apologizing Sorceress. DSA 1-3 called its classes (and its races that worked as classes) Heldentypen, which translates to hero types. Even today, player characters are as often as not adressed as heroes, in spite of there being tons of options to play as edgy anti-heroes ...
