If I recall correctly, Jackals is officially based on OpenQuest, which is an excellent part of the family :grin: I have looked over the pdf of Jackals, I thought it a very interesting setting, although it did not quite grab me enough to want to run it.
Welp. I broke down and bought it. :D About to start going through it now. I've been waffling about what I wanted to use to set up a new campaign and I keep going back to BRP adjacent systems, so I might as well have a look at this. If it's like the BGB, it will be a toolbox, and frankly...
My wife and I took the grandkids (13 & 14 years old, the 14-year-old plays regularly), and we all enjoyed the movie. The wife doesn't game and usually is bored halfway through most movies, but she was sitting forward in her seat through most of this one. I thought they did a good job of making...

I was watching Banacek (1970s Insurance Investigator show) and he has a habit of dispensing odd, supposedly polish sayings that you could probably use as a basis for what you want. Such as (found the list on wikipedia):
'A wolf that takes a peasant to supper probably won't need any...
When the party is awakened by a nighttime encounter and the Elf is still in her pajamas :grin:
I like this art too. I like clean line art for interior illustrations
I typically make a few notes after a session to remind me what happened, but other than making a list of names, occasional stat blocks and the like, These days, I wing it. I will prep the initial adventure fairly thoroughly and then everything from there is completely dependent upon what the...
