    What's the term for these type of RPGs?

    I've bought a bunch of charity RPGs bundles on Itch.io and have finally organized the games I've downloaded neatly into folders--and am now facing the daunting task of actually reading all thousand+ games. In order to make myself do it, I'm writing short reviews for my group's discord, on the...

    Level Up (A5E) So. Permanency, the spell.

    Those of us who have had experience with earlier editions of D&D should remember the spell permanency. I have no idea if they made a version of this spell for 4th edition, but it certainly isn't in 5th. Thus, I've decided to recreate it. The 2nd edition version can be found here, and the 3rd...

    Level Up (A5E) The Cackler Warlock archetype from Planestrider's

    This is kuru as a warlock patron. Which begs the question, what other diseases can be made into interesting patrons, or archetypes for other classes? Cancer with body manipulation and possible eventual immortality? The common cold with the ability to infect people and turn them into your...

    Level Up (A5E) Adventure Advice Request: What does the eldritch abomination pretending to be a human ask the PCs to do?

    Yeah, so I'm being bad because I've become totally focused on a minuscule subplot that has a large chance of not even being picked up, but... The setting: mostly city-based, Victorian-flavored. In the background, they've discovered and are in the process of colonizing another plane of...

    Level Up (A5E) 3pp/GPG Traditions?

    I have the following traditions from 3pps and issues of GPG: Arcane Knight (Gate Pass Gazette) Awakened Mind (Paranormal Power) Beast Unity (Gate Pass Gazette) Cutting Omen (MoAR Complete) Eldritch Blackguard (Gate Pass Gazette) Grinding Cog (MoAR Complete) Sanctified Steel (Sinuous Sentinel)...

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on readjusting prices for games with less treasure?

    So the campaign I'm working on is set in a pseudo-Victorian setting and will be mostly city-based. There's not going to be a lot of monsters the PCs can kill and take their stuff--although I won't be surprised if they decide to start stealing from the nobility, since it looks like four out of...

    Level Up (A5E) Any more urban exploration challenges?

    I own Stranger Sights, so I have the ones in there. But I'm planning a city campaign and would love some more. I'll probably make some more myself as I need them, but pre-made ones are always great.

    For those of you with ADHD, how do you organize your campaigns?

    I normally do standalone adventures without much of an overarching plot. But my players are really looking forward to my running more of a real game with such an arc. Worldbuilding is easy, but organizing NPCs, factions, background events going off, chains of events... well, there's a reason I...

    Level Up (A5E) A Leveled-Up Bestiary: Volume Two

    Welp, I'm back. Or I will be. Starting with the New Year's, I will once again go back to converting old (A)D&D monsters from Dragon Magazine, and eventually from other source as well. Not quite as often as I used to; I'm going to try for once or twice a week this time around. I'm currently...

    D&D General Vote Up a 5e-Alike: Fighter Draft 2, plus Archetypes (and a poll)

    What's New New maneuvers--hopefully adding maneuvers to cover some of the missing areas that @Tonguez mentioned--and a few other changes. If you made a suggestion and I didn't address it in the comments or it's not included here, chances are I missed the suggestion or just forgot. Please...

    D&D General Vote up a 5e-Alike: Ancestries! (First Draft)

    OK, so I'm still working on those maneuvers and revamping the fighter, I swear! To tide you over until then, here's the first draft of the chosen ancestries. I'm looking forward to your ideas and criticisms. Let me know if any of these guys are OP (or UP). FYI: a few of the ideas in here are...

    D&D General Vote Up a 5e-alike: Some quick thoughts on combat and armor...

    So I know that @Lanefan was saying that he meant roll-under only for skills and combat would be roll-over. I don't know what other people were thinking on it, but honestly, I hate the idea that some rolls are roll-under and some are roll-over. Way too confusing. While working on the Fighter, I...

    D&D General Vote Up a 5e-alike: Poll 6: Archetypes and Fighters/Warriors NOW WITH EXTREME FIRST DRAFT!

    This one is entirely write-in. I think there's too much to talk about that merely checking a button wouldn't work. General Class Questions 1. Archetypes: Yea or nay? By archetype, I mean the way they're currently done in 5e. If archetypes aren't done like that, they could be done in the sense...

    D&D General Vote Up a 5e-alike: The Current State Of Things (As of 10/27)

    Here's what we have right now: Spells require a roll to activate, with possibly disastrous results if miscast. The majority of spells are non-damaging; the only damaging spells are going to be cantrips and iconic spells. People wanted to both have a limit on the number of caster classes but...

    D&D General Vote Up A 5e-alike, Part 5: Feats (and a question of levels)

    Lanefan suggested feats before classes, which is probably as good a way to go as any. I'm not one of those people who have studied feats in-depth. I've taken feats. I'm waiting to level up so I can take on for my current character. But I'm not an expert, which means there will be likely be...

    D&D General Vote Up A 5e-alike, Part 4.1 - Skills Tiebreaker

    So yeah, there was mutually-exclusive tie. And I'm adding my favorite option back in as well, because I can. :D Also, just for @Lanefan, one other question (Because this one is particularly important, I extended the deadline to 4 days)

    D&D General Vote Up A 5e-alike, Part 4 - Skills

    OK, this one is very heavily write-in. Background skills and Class skills: Lanefan suggested the following: The way I see it, if these are used, there are two options. The first is as above. Your background and class give you specific skills. If you take the Courtier background, you know...
