Lost for words.

I was wondering what the PHB races would look like with the new racial format ie minus the cultural and added or altered abilities to make up the difference. Might be worth having a crack at it as I do not mind some of the new races we have been seeing lately. I will look at each race one at a...

I wonder if others are unimpressed with spoilers that have been provided for Giantlands thus far as I am. A lot of spurious claims and a whole lot of relabeled stole....I mean recycled ideas touted as ground breaking.

Heavens know most of us lack time and the game time comes around sooner than expected, so I would like to see if we can come together and get the shortcuts and cheats we use as DM's to save time or make things easier. Let me start. 1. Names for magical beings: I am terrible with names specially...

Did anyone else like in 4e where instead of being saves Ref, Fort and Will were used like AC as target numbers for attacks and abilities so many spell the caster rolled an attack rather than the target saving? Would anyone like to see this return in the future? I liked it myself, it made more...

Any suggestions for a Pact of the Quill and invocations for it?

We have crossed the 5 year line, the rules are stable so where to now? My thought would be to revisit an undelivered goal from the beginning modularity. The recent UA that provided alternate class features showed that modular rule packs can be used to alter the game system without undue damage...

Has anyone tried to homebrew a full version of the Psion that was being worked on in Happy Hour? If so can we have a look please?

One of my players who is playing a Gnome Artificer Battlesmith wants to use his Iron Defender as a mount. I can see that whilst it was not intended, doing so is not against the mount rules. Should I say yes and run with it or say no and under what grounds?

Is Mike Mearls Happy Hour still a thing? Or has he gone into hiding after the controversy of late?

I am getting ready to start a new campaign in a post war setting. An idea I have is called Spell Stained Environment. Basically they areas where a specific spell has been cast in an area on mass repeatedly and causes the spell to spontaneously occur in the area. Outside of combat I was...

I was wondering if a properly crafted Find companion Spell ala Find Steed and Familiar would be a good way of dealing with the Ranger companion. Should the spell improve with a higher level slot or should a Greater version be made. I imagine it would be a 1st level spell so the Magic Initiate...

I just finished watch the happy hour video on MM idea for the Warlord Fighter subclass. I am not sure what to think of the tactical zone idea that he came up with. Is it good bad, is it restrictive, does it add depth......I don't know how I feel about it??? I would be interested in hearing other...

In hindsight I believe that fighting styles have been a missed opportunity in that more could be easily added to ad more flavour into weapon using classes and provide new add in mechanics without having to go fully into a subclass but provide a little more crunch than a background. Thoughts...

Many Posts since the release of 5e have brought up some shortcomings of the Fighter design. Raising these concerns is usually met with the sage advice "The Fighter gets two extra feats use them to fix the issue". Other classes are out damaging the Fighter - Use your extra feats My Fighter can't...

Any ideas for Rot and Ruin Domains? Need for homebrew campaign thought I would see what ideas are floating about. Thanks in advance.

What are peoples thoughts on racial deities? Are they good or bad and why. Pro and Cons. Do they add anything worthwhile flavorwise?

Most of the fighting styles are generally thought of as worthwhile for what they do except for Protection. How could Protection style be remodelled to better represent and be effective as other styles? After the last UA on skill feats it got me thinking about style feats that improve/further a...

When homebrewing a class or judging a new class either from WotC or a 3pp how much do you believe should go in the first 1-2 levels? How much should multiclassing be taken into consideration or ignored? This may lead into what is more important identity/flavour or balance. What is your opinion?

Does anyone know of any good exploration or new world type 5e adventures?
