Best Selling RPGs - Available Now @ DriveThruRPG.com
Best to limit yourself to stealing from your own tree... or for bonus thrills, stealing from the branch on your neighbour’s tree that hangs into your garden...
 
I may regret asking this, but what are the two new pieces of equipment in that supplement?

Take it from Asen, steal apples responsibly, folks!
A pheromone implant and a hi-tech suit which allows you to command it mentally to change color, transparency (selectively or entirely) and to fall off. Any of these might be useful for socialites and nobles, too, as I see it:tongue:.

Also, yes.
 
All this cock and bull might get people feeling like this is not the breast place on the web for their children to visit.
 
Hi new to the site. I am so glad to see a new single subject forum for RPGs outside of the Social Media monopolies. Can't wait to discuss RPGs.

Your two rules are ones I can really get behind.
No politics and hate geese is an easy set of rules to get behind.

Welcome Torque2100 Torque2100. What games are you into?
 
Hey all! After a long hiatus from regular gaming, I was crawling around the net and I found this site. I must say that I am glad to have discovered what appears to be a more mellow place to discuss RPGs, as some of the other fora that I used to haunt back when I chucked dice more frequently seem to have become more focused on things other than gaming. Here's hoping to have some cool interactions with you folks!

Cool username, Dracula's proper Bulgarian surname :thumbsup:

Actually it should be "Vlad Basarab", so I can only conclude another language was taken for a basis:smile:.

He typo’d, so give him a break.

Anyway are Vlad II Dracul and Vlad III Dracula both considered part of the Basarab Dynasty, or were only the legitimate heirs considered?

I'm not accusing him of anything, as far as I know?

On the contrary, I'm noting that it might be the correct spelling in another (even related) language! Or it might be intentional. For all I know he might have been using it this way for years - say, as a joke. No skin off my back...hmm,.
The above phrase starts having unexpected connotations when discussing Vlad Tepes:devil:!

If it's just an unintentional typo, of course, I'm sure the admin might help him.

By whom, Károly Róbert :tongue:? The Ottomans? The Pope?
In other words, I suspect opinions might have differed. I'll submit, however, that I'm no expert on those times, so maybe they were universally recognized. Well, except during the dynastic wranglings that Vlad II Dracul was involved in, I guess:shade:!

They seem to be in history texts but I'm not sure why as Vlad II was illegitimate as you said. He seems to have pressed himself as the true heir after his half-brother died. I'm really not sure of the ins and outs of who could be considered parts of a dynasty in the area at that time.
 
Wallachian innit?
It's kind of cool. Vlad and his family spoke Bulgarian but they were surrounded by Romanian speakers. Vlad's father was mostly known as Vlad Dragul by Romanians due to being a member of the Knightly Order of the Dragon. However his son "The Impaler" applied Bulgarian grammar to his father's Romanian sobriquet to make his own name "Vlad Drakulya" = "Dragon's Vlad". Which became "Dracula" when borrowed into French.

I thought he was a bastard and the reason he had to wait was because his brother was the legitimate heir. I remember reading somewhere that Vlad II and III were considered usurpers at the time, but then again when a bunch of brothers are fighting for the throne, the guy you don’t like is always some kind of “fake”.

That's what I've read, but I don't know much beyond that and how legitimate he would have been as at the time. One for the list.

Only in the Pub would the welcome.e thread be sidetracked by a discussion of Vlad Drakul, his family tree and his legitimacy.

Just another day at the Pub!
 
Hey, everyone! A friend suggested I poke my snout in here and say hello. Ever since G+ got shut down, I haven't done much social media-ing, but this looks like a very fun place, so here I am! Started playing D&D in the 80s, still love it. Gaming in general, really. I enjoy RPGs, LARPing, miniature wargaming, board games, staring out the window and muttering imprecations as the bipedal cattle shuffle by, video games, all kinds of fun stuff.

Welcome to the site!

Any more super disturbing monster books coming up? (Big fan of Teratic Tome and Lusus Naturae)

Welcome Rafael! Where do you stand on Geese?

Thanks! Almost done with an OSR version of Pandemonio (which is a d12-based game that I'm converting to old-school rules). It's got a bunch of nasty demons, similar to what you found in those other two bestiaries. I'll release it towards the end of the month.
