SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, what elements would you want in an age of wonder type bronze age/age of wonders type D&D game. I'm thinking about making a large amount of the monsters dire animals. Also, spears replacing swords as most common weapon.
What else?

If you're including Grecian elements, then there needs to be a strong focus on beauty.  Heroes were beautiful.  Maidens were beautiful.  If you were ugly, then you were marked by the gods as evil (or you simply could never become a hero).

It should be obvious that the gods have a more hands on approach to events in the world. They won't necessarily manifest in front of you, but their agents (maybe planestouched or half celestial/infernal) run wild and their words are for those willing to give the proper respect, and woe to you if you don't!

Ghosts are not just scary, they are a link to your ancestors and their wisdom. Speak with the Dead would be fairly common among the used spells.
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number
Playing: Star Wars D20 Rev.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.
