As for clerics, their alignment determines weapon choice and what they can turn. Clerics can turn unholy creatures, not just un-dead, and the definition of "unholy" is defined by, of course, what their deity considers holy. Yes, your lawful cleric can turn a basilisk... Can elves and faer...

Wilderlands, Wilderlands, and more Wilderlands. Did I mention Wilderlands? For me, I would say Wilderlands-style supplements, but not necessarily an update of the Judge's Guild IP. Tales from the Dying Earth, for instance, is full of gonzo sci-fi fantasy hex crawling action that would lend itself r...

That is a very cool approach you're taking - trying to strike a balance between playability and the subjective requirements of pacts and oaths with supernatural beings. I like how it's sounding.

Interesting thread - I just started my own 'Appendix N' project this year (to catch up on all the fantasy reading I had missed) - and it's clear that it's going around! Gives me high hopes for the this DCC RPG, though November seems a long ways away. I like Jame's short list, having read these itali...
