  • Building a deeper story through the judicious use of food
  • How does food and drink differ among the races?
  • are there religious taboos involving food, like Islam and alcohol or Judaism and pig products
  • The cunning man of a town lives beside a sacrificial tree, on which hangs animal sacrifices and tokens
  • "He will keep who can" philosophy amongst humans
  • do props have a place in BM games? Propinomicon blog
  • Cave filled with pictures of headless beasts and dancing figures - what does it mean and who made it?
  • Could BM be on a ring world?
  • What is the feel of BM?
  • Are there any dungeons that are not normal, for example a crashed spaceship in the ringworld idea, but no one knows of it as a ship
  • A Cutter goes to kick a rock down on adventurers and stubs his foot instead. As he hops around in pain his companion laughs and then brains the wounded Cutter, throwing his body down at the adventurers.
  • Division of control in BM - players control the story and the DM controls the setting
  • How are words found in BM pronounced? Pronunciation guide for BM
  • How is family treated mechanically
