I make World of Darkness entirely open world, ditch the whole "storytelling" blah blah, and really make the game reflect the fantastic "City by Night" play style that wasn't explicitly championed by the text but was glorified by the actual gaming content. This is the real gold mine here in terms...
No, not the *specific* Mythic Underworld interpretation of the baseline which is Philotomy's, but the baseline is there, the idea that the world of the dungeon was in fact beyond the mundane is hardcoded into the D&D rules since chainmail, by virtue of creatures having hit dice, characters...

He he no no it's cool. I get that people want to get their hands of the stuff, hell, I'm just as impatient as everybody else. It's been a long ride and I want to see it through to the finish to see your collective ohs and ahs and gaming the hell out of it. That's just about the best compliment I...
