    D&D 5E Survivor Background: SOLDIER WINS!

    Criminal 16 Gladiator 17 Guild Merchant 17 Knight 3 Outlander 9 Soldier 15 Spy 4 Having responsibilities adds hooks, being a soldier is fine, but more boring imo.

    Tavern Tales: Free new RPG I found on Reddit

    I've not tried the system in play yet to see how the rolling works out, but in some cases you do use opposed rolls so there shouldn't be anything against adding variable target numbers or even modifying the dice rolled. Also 180 views of this thread! That's awesome, I hope even 1/4 of you...

    Tavern Tales: Free new RPG I found on Reddit

    Going to start with the link http://taverntalesrpg.com/ Ok, so this game really excites me. Its a classless RPG that I can't imagine ever creating samey characters like I've often seen in other classless games. Characters are thematic and flavorful, with abilities that remind me of class...

    13th Age pros and cons?

    I've only done a one shot with 13th age, but I'll give you my groups rough experience: Pros: Character Creation has interesting and meaningful choices and everyone liked putting their abilities and backgrounds together. Story wise I used the Icon roles to great effect to allow an almost...

    What's your favorite "fodder" monster race?

    For me it's goblins. In my games they are always the poor marginalized race pushed to the edge by the stronger races. As such they have their own sort of inventiveness that I play up along with strong familial ties... Yeah, my players have learned that no races are just meat bags of loot and...

    Elves and Secret Doors.. how do you pull it off?

    To those who say they make the players decide when to activate their elf senses, how does that make the elves different than say a human who regularly rolls perception to look for secret doors?

    Blue Stones, Grey Skies: A Dieselpunk Game

    The goon wakes up to see Killien standing in front of him. His hands have been bound to a wooden chair. They are in a boiler room, it could be anywhere in the city by the looks of it. The sounds of of the boiler, along with the sounds of dripping water and the occasional burst of steam from the...

    Blue Stones, Grey Skies OoC

    This is just a post to create the Out-of-Character thread for my PbP game. This game is already full on players. To my players, please post here to identify yourself as your character and also post your previously selected equipment as I didn't get copies of them for some reason.

    Pathfinder 1E E7 and Extra [Class Feature] Feats

    To me, the 4th level spell thing is a feature, not a bug. I want wizards and clerics to be able to shine with effects the spontaneous casters can't do, while the spontaneous casters win in spells per day. And as for BAB, I know that it is (3,4,6) at 6, (3,5,7) at 7, and (4, 6, 8) at 8. I like...

    Pathfinder 1E E7 and Extra [Class Feature] Feats

    Well I'm hoping this game will take off and last a while, so I was looking more into the long run where everyone has those picks but some classes can keep taking Extra [Class Feature] while Fighters eventually run out of good choices. But I think I might be worrying too much about something that...

    Pathfinder 1E E7 and Extra [Class Feature] Feats

    I all came down to BAB really. At E6 3/4 classes are only one higher than 1/2 classes, and at E8 3/4 classes have an iterative attack which I wanted to avoid. And yeah, I'll probably do the spacing thing and if anyone plays a fighter I'll be super-watchful to make sure they aren't eclipsed.

    Pathfinder 1E E7 and Extra [Class Feature] Feats

    Ok, so Barbarian I can let slide unless I see it somehow become overpowered in play. What about some of the others? I'm especially worried about Extra Arcane Pool, Extra Lay on Hands, and Extra Evolution.

    Pathfinder 1E E7 and Extra [Class Feature] Feats

    How so? A barbarian can end their rage as a free action unless there is errata in that. It seems that eventually a barbarian would be able to rage every fight as long as there was downtime between the fights equal to double the length of the previous fight.

    Pathfinder 1E E7 and Extra [Class Feature] Feats

    I'm in the process of setting up for a E7 Pathfinder Game and came across something that could be a breaking issue. The Extra feats, such as Extra Rage, Extra Rogue Talent, and Extra Arcane Pool, worry me as they allow some classes to gain abilities that I'm not sure classes like Fighters can...
