So while I slowly work on my game, I figured I would throw something on my youtube channel that might be fun. I decided on high def 4k samples of art/pages from my old 1e and 2e modules, for your nostalgia of running those old adventures. I also hired singer songwriter Roysha Arielle so you have...

This is fulfilled thanks

So for my game system, I don't have Charisma in my core six stats, but I figure I'll have a separate section on the character sheet for social stuff. I could obviously just have Charisma: [ ] but how about splitting it up into Beauty: [ ] Charm: [ ] Leadership: [ ] maybe Beauty could be...

Build a bear monster. I have art for almost 100 standard monsters completed. I thought I would push my luck and see if YOU have a monster you love that you might suggest to be added. I can't use anything with copyright (no DnD monsters), i.e. needs to be either original or a play on some real...

Trying to come up with something that is not the typical name. Its not mom is a giant, its more of a warrior people that have old giantish blood in their heritage.

So for the character art, when it is a single character representing a class (as one example), I had the character created with just a little shading under their feet. The reason being, to have a custom background doubles the price. Now I'm looking at the page, does it look ok or do you feel...

I guess people don't use it much.

What a great product. While Adobe may be the "leader" I feel like they have taken advantage of the world in their pricing. Like any software, it hurts a bit to get started, but now I am many pages deep into Affinity Publisher I am loving it. I also have Affinity Photo as my image...

So lets say you were creating your own mazes and monsters TTRPG. You don't have a large internet following so kickstarter not an option and while you can do some marketing a lot is going to be dependent on word of mouth. Your goals are #1 get the rules into as many peoples hands as possible...

Do you have a mythical race of creatures that live underground, could be humanoid, but monstrous is fine if they are industrious or have some variety of community (soldiers, mages, priests). Evil is ideal but if it is something I repurpose as aggressive/dangerous, be great. I can't use any DnD...

This is not related 5e. Lets say I want to make a skill in check in Strength. I have a 14 out of the usual 3-18 starting values. But I don't want to have a small plus, I want to use the full 14 value because the difference between a 14 and a 9 strength is huge. Rolling under your stat seems...

Reading the above article I kind of get the issues described. But I'm not really following the big picture of what you need to do with lore per se. So say FR never existed and no campaign existing, and you were tasked with organizing and creating a strategy for a setting that goes with your...

In doing my game design research, I came across SotDL and watching a video on it I really liked many of their mechanics. I see we have an enworld thread that heaps lots of praise https://www.enworld.org/threads/five-things-i-love-about-shadow-of-the-demon-lord.675905/page-2#posts I think they...

Not necessary just talking about Forgotten realms. Are there any light sources in "general" for the regions not otherwise lit by torches/lanters Does anything emanate light or is it pitch black and your party needs infravision or a light source? If someone has a torch up, do you force them to...

Back in 1e/2 monsters never had ability scores. I have very mixed feelings about keeping monsters ability scores. I get that you "need" them in 5e in order to make saving throws. But the fact that a zombie is more charismatic than some player characters seems weird. Do you think its an...

If we look back at Monster Manual 2 (AD&D) and compare it to 5e, is there stuff you miss? For example, we have Frequency and No. Appearing. This to me gives you a lot of immediate information as to how you should encounter them. Similarly but to a lesser extent the % in lair too. I just...

I haven't done ranged weapons yet but can you look through this generic weapon list and a) does anything stand out as egregiously missing, like some fav melee weapon you like? b) does anything look like it has too much damage (or too little) compared to another weapon in the list. (Updated 26-Feb)

I did come across a website where the artist was selling professionally designed fonts but I lost it now. Back to square one so if you were creating a D&Desque type rule book what professional printed fonts would you pick for headings and main text, maybe a nice font for that big letter that...

One of the great things in 1e/2e was weapon speed/factor which was added to the initiative roll. In those days you would decide what to do each round first, resolve initiative adding the weapon speed or spell casting time to the init roll and then do it on your turn. This made for both a...
