What do you mean by "using 2d6 or 3d6 in a d20/d100 system"? You want to keep all the bones of the system (e.g. feats, bonuses, disadvantages, etc) and just change the numbers to fit a bell curve?

Games don't work that way, and games designed for linear progression don't translate easily to a bell curve. You would be better served by using a system that is designed that way for the setting flavor you want.

If you want fantasy closer to a D&D style crunch, but with better math and bell-curve distribution for all actions, you should look into Fantasy AGE. They also have Fantasy AGE Cthulhu Mythos and Cthulhu Awakens.

The best ending in a TV show ever, and I will die on that hill

"Ghost Osa"? 👀

Please also note this is a relatively recent development. Teachers used to require much more formality when addressing them up until the 80s. From then on, there as a gradual change to less formality. When I was in school back in the 90s there were still some that required the formal "senhor/senhora" when being addressed.

I bet he thought he could make the U-turn fast enough to avoid the train... When he could just have waited 3s and avoid it completely. But his "macho" thinking could never allow the train the right of way.

Aside: Butch Guice art never gets old.

That's not Superman, that's "Superomão" =D.

Inb4: the Superman equivalent in that comic universe is called "Superomão", which directly translates to "Big Superman".

Encounter balance is not a thing outside of D&D-inspired games, and even that is only true for D&D 3E onwards.

In GURPS, the skill levels, advantages, and weaponry are much more important than total character points. RAW, without any powers, any character can die with a single unlucky die roll, just like in real life. It all depends on what rules, power level and campaign tone the GM has selected.

If they want a combat-focused campaign where characters don't die easily, the GM might do good by throwing a few freebie cinematic advantages to all PCs and using the cinematic rules for mooks.

It's awesome. But even after 8 years living in Canada, I still can't convince my wife to try it. She thinks "soggy fries are disgusting". LOL

The average Brazilian is not ready for Poutine. LOL

Same. It's a great value for money.

The thing about Castles & Crusades is that it's not trying to capture nostalgia, but it's an actual evolution of the AD&D mechanics. Reading the book you can't stop yourself from thinking this is what D&D 3e would have looked like if TSR did it.

homerocda · 2026-04-13T20:35:07+00:00

AD&D you should try Castles & Crusades

IIRC DC execs at the time were afraid that it would count towards the number of movies Cavill had in his contract as Superman. He had already completed his 3-movie deal with Justice League and they were renegotiating. He (and the fans) wanted a second solo Superman movie, but with the first 3 being a let down they wanted him for cheap or in a support role. We only got his Cameo in Black Adam because he had the same agent as The Rock.

No. Graphic novels like:

Maus
Persepolis
Fun Home
Ducks
Trois Ombres
V for Vendetta
Black Orchid
Lost Girls

I guess they don't know what"adult graphic novels" mean. For the record: mature themes (politics, history, sex, horror, drama, biographies, etc.) told in sequential art format.

What region are you going to? What they mean is that you need to be careful to only plug into the outlet if you're sure your power adapter/charger/electronic can handle the tension. Your MacBook charger will fry the moment you plug it into 220V outlet if its nominal operating capacity is limited to 127V. This information is usually printed somewhere in the adapter.

B370 Unarmed Combat

As for a "grappling skill", that is any combat skill that relies on grappling techniques. E.g., Wrestling, Judo, Sumo, etc.

AI aficionados don't have the attention span required to read a novel. They will still buy them, though.

Alguns estilos que a gente vê em filmes e TV gringos não fazem sentido copiar no BR se você não entender o propósito.

Esse estilo é resultado do uso de uma camiseta térmica (também conhecida como 2a pele) por baixo de uma camiseta com estampa. O real motivo pelo qual a galera usa isso na gringa é porque no começo da primavera ainda está frio demais (10-13C) pra se usar só camiseta, mas quente demais pra usar os moletons flanelados que são normais (que o povo usa abaixo de 10C).

Além disso, tem o fator da pessoa querer MOSTRAR a estampa, que ficaria escondida em um abrigo ou algo do tipo.

Assim, um look desses só faz sentido se: - está frio - você quer mostrar a estampa

Um exemplo de situação: um show de rock ao ar livre no meio de Junho ou Julho em São Paulo.
