...just got announced. Who's stoked? 5e barrier peaks would be great... especially paired w paizos iron gods and a remake of that old blackmoor module. https://mobile.twitter.com/crazy_newt/status/1105170855301136385

Oo. A map is a good one! Usually I just give the players a physical copy of the map a few sessions in - with inaccuracies built in and waaaaay too many coffee stains and whatnot. :)

Usually when I start a campaign, I tell the players what the campaign's main thrust is, and then put together a huge document detailing every race and class, the deities, the setting history, new class options, a primer on all the locations, new backgrounds, and whatever else I can think of...

My rule of thumb is that the terrain sets the encounter distance. Most places like forests, swamps, and cities have an encounter distance of around 2d6x10 feet. Plains might set that distance to 2d3x100 feet, say - although most PCs won't shoot first at that distance unless it's an obvious...

So, in older editions of the game, XP made a lot of sense. But this was because of a few features of those games: 1. Classes needed different amounts of XP to progress to the next level. 2. Characters with high ability scores earned more XP than those with low scores. 3. Each class had a...

I should clarify - pdfs arent what im looking for. I have it on pdf. A print on demand option, like the rules cyclopedia, would be awesome though.

I saw this post on twitter earlier today. It looks like a pretty fun map, and the cube is very much some weird old school D&D. You know, I love your regional maps and always look over them pretty heavily. What's funny is that I'd never use one in my games - and I've used a lot of your maps in...

I both like and hate the idea of the modules broken into their own individual components. ON the one side, this makes perfect sense, and it will probably make everything easier to run at the table. On the down side, it means I have one less hardcover to put on my shelf, and my 5e collection...

Nights Dark Terror is an often missed gem. Several years ago, I played through the last half of it with Lanefan DMing. Was a highlight of his campaign. If I could find a copy of the book for under a hundred bucks, I'd pick it up. WotC will never reprint the thing, though - it's not one of...

We nixxed those rules in my own games. Here's how we do it - it works really well at my table! * If the group needs to make the check - stealthing into a castle, athletics to cross a mountain, or whatever else - everyone rolls the check against a set DC. If half or more of the PCs succeed...

I'd like to see a version of SR5E that simplifies the game a bit. There are a LOT of rules, and every time I try reading the book, my eyes glaze over.

Aw, man, the Killoren were awesome. One of my favourite 3e races, and the 4e wildings or whatever they were called were pretty neat too. My favourite bit was the fact that they changed depending on the season; something that's happened recently in my own 5e game. A character is an awakened...

Yeah. Keep it simple, and it'll work out wonderfully. You really only need two maps - one of the starting town and surrounding environs (say, everything up to a two days' walk away from town), and one of the starting adventure site. That's it.

Wait. You're trying to think ahead of time how to kill your character so someone else doesn't die? Geez. How hard is this campaign? And how badly do you wanna get out?

Aw man. I want this - just for the modules alone!

In my 5e game, we have nine player factions... though rather recently, one has turned into an evil faction that the PCs have decided to oppose. 1. The Green Legion. A bunch of druids trying to change the land. Also includes rangers and wilderness types, as well as a bunch of awakened...

There are a lot of good ideas. 1. First, metal nets are totally a thing that can exist. Simple metal tubes with rope inside. There are certain ways to tie the knots, and everything. 2. They'd be heavy as hell. I'd say, using 5e rules, that it imposes disadvantage on attack rolls...

Thanks. The thing is, teleport is a ways away. But, when they get there - teleport don't work so well when you haven't been to the destination you're going to. So, the party has to teleport to the closest place they've been... and then risk the same travel problems. Yyup. A homebrewed...

Also, 250 days to learn a tool proficiency is about right - assuming D&D style technology. To learn a trade takes four years of on-the-job work, with a total of 24 weeks of school time during those four years. That's accounting for the fact that a trade has a LOT of stuff involved in it that...
