    Vampire V5 - Rules Questions

    1. In battle, are ties counted as a miss or a hit, if one person attacks and the other defends? (I know that if both attacks at the same time and receive the same number of "Successes", both do damage, and in other contexts it is the "acting character" who wins.) 2. Can you use Blood Surge and...

    D&D 5E Make a pirate island come alive (Forgotten Realms)

    I need help to make a pirate island come alive. It is named "Shipwreck Island" and is made of derelict ships bound together. It floats around in The Sea of Swords and can only be found by a magic pirate doubloon that vibrates more intensely when you're getting near. Shipwreck Island is run by a...

    D&D 5E Homebrew D&D 5e Low Fantasy, Low Magic, Gritty Rules (New Version)

    Hi Calvnnhobs! I´m glad you might find my rules of use! I have removed the cleric class from the rules (since a lot of low fantasy settings doesn't have gods that interfere or listens), and therefore also the ability to turn undead. But if you like to have clerics in your setting, go for it...

    D&D 5E Homebrew D&D 5e Low Fantasy, Low Magic, Gritty Rules (New Version)

    Thank you! This is the rule for magical healing of critical damage from the text: For every 10 Hit Points you are healed from one spellcasting, the healing time is reduced by 1 day. So if a spell user heals you for 12 Hit Points, your healing time is reduced by 1 day. If the spell user tries...

    How do you handle loot from enemies with mighty or evil weapons?

    What I did was when a player touched it the player took damage and saw horrible visions from Yeenoghu's realm. My players ended up pushing the flail into a chasm. But your suggestions is a lot more fun, and I will use some of them the next time something like this comes up!

    How do you handle loot from enemies with mighty or evil weapons?

    How do you handle loot from enemies with mighty or evil weapons? For example a Flind (a Gnoll from Volo's) wields a mighty evil flail imbued with magic from Yeenoghu. Do you let the players have the flail and use it? Or do you prevent them from having it some way? In that case how?

    I like your system! Especially the part where you have to eat and drink to benefit from rests. This is the link to my equipment system: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4dfy0r9rsm7bzda/Equipment%20Sheet%20For%20Fantasy%20RPGs%20-%20Lots-o-Dots%20System%20v1.0.pdf?dl=0

    Good one-shot starter adventure for Call of Cthulhu

    I will introduce some friends to Call of Cthulhu. Can someone recommend a good starter adventure? What I'm looking for is: - One-shot or a short adventure. - A mix of mystery, searching for clues, and action. - Gaslight or 1920s. - Preferably set in England, maybe in a high-end milieu. Thanks!

    TheHobgoblin, I can see what you mean, and if you would use my rules to play Game of Thrones you should definitely get rid of the races. But this is not a world setting, it is a set of rules, and it is made to be somewhat universal. There is levels of gritty and levels of low fantasy. If you...

    Blue, thank you for taking the time to give feedback! I think you have a lot of good points. I am currently working on an updated version and I will try to address those points. Regarding XGtE Feats, the answer is that I just missed them. Regarding Mage Slayer, I thought that in a world with...
