I've been GM-ing half a dozen sessions in Coriolis the last couple of months. In my opinion, the darkness point system works extremely well. Players will want their re-rolls, but this gradually builds up a sense of doom among players, because of the amount of trouble the GM can cause...

I really like the unpredictability this option introduces. However, having each player roll multiple dice for initiative each round will definitely slow down combat. A detailed initiative subsystem might be up Mearls alley but it's not what my game needs :) While on the topic of alternative...

Lol, Ribo Flavin was the name of one of my first AD&D characters, in the late eighties. Spoiler alert: He didn't make it :)

I just wanted to tell the community that the iOS Pathfinder reference app previously known as PFR has been renamed to RPG Books, and is now free! Included in the free download is the Pathfinder Core rulebook and the first Bestiary. This means that running a vanilla game of Pathfinder from you...

Do you need of a Gnome ancestry for Shadow of the Demon Lord? I did, so I created one: http://alsoadventure.org/2015/10/07/gnome-ancestry-for-shadow-of-the-demon-lord/ Feel free to use and revamp! Any comments or suggestions are very welcome.

I agree it would have been more correct, I disagree it would have been better :)

I just discovered this thread, and this stuff by Mutant Lord as pretty far out and excellent work! Keep it up!

Update Thanks for the input! I've updated the flowchart. OP should now be correctly linked up, but the quotes I have no influence over.

I agree. Will add this, thanks! It's comforting to know that there are more pedantics out there than just me. I actually started to lay out the flowchart as you describe, with all the binary choices involved. It turned out it was beyond me to make it both informative at a glance and correct...

Right, thanks for the input! Will correct this ASAP.

The mechanics in D&D 5e for handling unconscious creatures are a bit elaborate. So, in order to keep track of conditions and how to transition between them i created a dropping to zero HP flowchart. It looks like this: Is it helpful? Any way it could become more helpful? Thanks in advance!

My two cents regarding 5e and licensing: http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/316434-show-me-you-license-please.html

I've played the game ever since 1e and been happy about all new editions up to and including 3.5e. Therefore, I was also very excited about the release of 4e. But after playing thirty sessions and buying five books, my gaming group gave up and switched to Pathfinder. That move felt like coming...

I see you've gotten many good recommendations further up in the thread. Some additions from me: I enjoyed Homunculus by James P. Blaylock. A strange, laidback and mystic sort of steampunk novel. Another nice novel, perhaps more fantasy and less punk, but still very heavy on the steam and sooty...
