lumpley, would it be ok if I include a copy of the AW2e threat map example  in the skeleton world document?

It's a lovely visual approach to notes that I've not seen elsewhere.

First pass at 'ideas for structure and content' for the  equipment and GM help sections added.

Not happy with it yet, but there's do much variance between games I'm not sure anyone is sure.

I do need to figure out the pattern between threat types and game theme still.

Feedback as ever appriciated.

Yes I am.

There are extensive discussions going on about race in roleplaying in the community right now in parallel to the Black Lives Matter movement, which has caused me to re-evaluate my old games from a new perspective.

Lots of great information about this on Twitter and other forums, and the discussions have lead to a response by Wizards of the Coast about the current version of Dungeons and Dragons: https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/diversity-and-dnd

Thanks for your interest.

We had a lot of fun with this game back in the day, but I was not planning to continue to make it available.

The game design has a few fundamental problems:
- The language used perpetuates racial stereotypes in a way that does not reflect my core beliefs.
- The mechanics include a asymmetrical power mechanic that might be a trigger for some people.
- The game includes a sex mechanic that, whilst inclusive is scope, is potentially problematic.

These design problems do not reflect on the awesome artwork that others have done to support the game.

I also honestly thought no-one would be interested in this old design, and I haven?t played it for years, so I was thinking of mothballing this whole set of threads (except maybe the art).

Happy to have a DM discussion here or on Twitter (@ Wightbred) if you want.

I have a series of questions about the Symbiote playbook.

How exactly is " I have access to ??s infirmary, and I can work on people in it." intended to work mechanically? Do you count as an npc medic? Can you pull off Angel level stuff as long as you are in the infirmary? Our Angel has decided never to heal the Show and I have a body with this exact circumstance.

How much freedom is the Symbiote supposed to have when writing the circumstances of the blank sections? So far I have been pretty liberal with it and the MC has been cool with that but surely there are some intended limiting factors.

How much can you do with HoTH (ii)? Good and bad luck is incredibly vague. Something I did with this was alter the way the Show's pandering worked so that it would literally rip oddments from the maelstrom instead of bankrupting the hardhold (which was a fantastic thing for the Hardholder). Someone recommended to me that "incredibly shitty luck" for the Show could be him losing his powers, which seems too lame to actually do.

Thank you in advance for any answers to these questions.
