If you can be specific e.g. "I like the Warforge because it lets me play a fantasy robot" "I like the tech because it's different than the usual sword and sorcery stuff." "I like that the Gnomes are spying sneaks." etc.

Not sure what sort of interest there will be in this, but it's worth trying. Overall Setting: 1) It's likely going to take place in a city of some sort since, thematically, that's likely the first thing people think of. Something based on New York or London would do nicely, though other...

If you're not familiar with Solo Leveling, there's a wikipedia article and actual wiki on it. The basic premise being there are two warring factions of divine beings one of which wants to aid humanity and the other which wishes to destroy it. The ones that want to aid humanity create Dungeons...

"Welcome stranger, to the town of Bunnyburrow in Beatrixia!" A strange, small, Harengon greets you. He stands barely three feet tall and has immaculately white fur. He is wearing a red velvet jacket and watch with golden casing and chain. "I'm Peter the Greeter!" You're not entirely sure how...

Andre Norton wrote a series of books collectively called the "Witch World". If it sounds familiar it's been mentioned a couple different times before this. I've actually worked a great deal on a website dedicated to it that was originally started by another fan who's since gone. The series...

So, my GM is creating a new setting and is having one where we players are involved. It goes thus: our characters will help in the world creation process by having their backgrounds and other information build what goes into the world. Name: Kin name, chosen name, assumed name, etc. Species...

So, I was planning a Ranger character whose motto is "To Adventure!" but none of the Ranger subclasses really jive with it while only bits of the various Rogue ones do (I'm not sure about him being a Rogue as he spends a lot more time in the wilderness and ancient ruins than the city). I tried...

Given this thread, I was wondering what a TTRPG might look like for official TNT release. I realize any discussion here would likely not bear fruit for creating it (TNT would almost certainly want something in-house), but there are a lot of creative folks here who might also happen to like...

I was watching this and was reminded that there were a great many mounted archers through history. In fact, I seem to recall Egyptians had chariot archers. I can't recall, off hand, any sort of mounted archer in either 5e or Level Up. Part of the problem, of course, is that mounts are not easy...

So, I'm trying to figure out how to make my very own First Adventure, but it's not clear what I should do. Being Author-Minded, I tend to think of things in the direction of a story but, of course, it needs to also be flexible enough that the Players don't feel railroaded. The thought starts...

So while there are settings where the absence of deities tends to cause issues (Athas most notably and Ravenloft to some degree), there seems to be no reason deities actually have to exist in a setting; besides giving Clerics spells, divine beings seem to do very little else. Unlike in RL...

Tried this before, but since no one got back, I figured there's no harm in continuing to try. The last one was based on a poll that seemed to do well, so I'm not sure why the folks never got back. Perhaps the Bronze Age thing threw everyone off. Ah well. The A5e rules are pretty well laid-out...

Having read No One Returns from the Enchanted Forest, I've gotten an idea for a potential setting and/or story (stories to go with settings are not exactly new). I'm going to include actual book spoilers in the spoilers to help clarify, but the basic premise is that young deities are placed in a...

While I know A5e/Level Up is supposed to be backwards compatible with 5e, I have to note that the spells in general are a problem. Most specifically, elemental-related spells. For Fire, this is not an issue at all. There's at least one Fire spell at every level. Air and Water cap out at 6th...

I'm trying to find more information on the Dreaming (please do not answer with "it's the Feywild" that much I can figure out). I've come across mentions of the Unseen Court and seen some other things, but not a lot about the Dreaming itself. More importantly, and especially for things I'm...

Dungeons usually serve the purpose of hiding something within that Adventurers want or need to find. Of course, whether they are still inhabited buildings or ancient structures no longer occupied by their original dwellers can vary. They can come from other sources too: the cancerous wounds of a...

Happy New Year to one and all! Last year I posted a thread to see what theme folks might want for a new setting based entirely on A5e/Level Up rules. Though the poll is technically on-going, I want to try and start it this year, with the help of anyone in the community who's willing and able to...

There was a thread, a while back on new settings specifically for 5e or A5e. Folks seemed disappointed that Faerûn kept being used, which is understandable since they seem to be unable to get past Wizards of the Sword Coast. Eberron, Mystera, Athas, Krynn, Greyhawk, Spelljammer, and others tend...

After reading about some of the new stuff coming out, I thought I might try my hand again at setting creation. I've done it here before with mixed results, so I don't see any harm in trying again. This time I'm going to try for something more "modern". Somewhat based on the likes of Urban...
