Subsystems, hexcrawl-related stuff, downtime activities. More monsters are always cool. Maybe some setting stuff, if it is mechanized as needed (you know I'm a sim guy).

A lot of this is coming with the new Cursed Scrolls or Books. Hexcrawl, Downtime, both of those for sure. What subsystems do you think are missing?

Awesome! Looking forward to it. I missed the Kickstarter, so obviously I'll have to pick up what I want separately.

That's the sort of thing I was talking about anyway.

Oh for sure take a look then as I think its the exact kind of expansion you are looking for.

Each Cursed Scroll adds a bit of mechanical depth as well.

This is from the Cursed Scroll 6 preview. What do you mean by a Spellbook Wizard though?

Like af&d

Your spell book has the spells you know of

You choose which to memorize , numbers as per the table

You can add spells to your book by

• copying then from another spellbook
• copying them from a scroll (which uses up the scroll)

You can create a scroll of a spell you can cast by spending x time and y gp

The point of scrolls is:
-to give a minion who needs it for a mission

• a backup of critical spells in case you crit fail a casting
• so you can cast obscure spells without wasting a slot

x and y tho


Id let clerics choose which spells they get each day (subject to divine whim) but not let them learn from scrolls


Not sure what to do with witches

Mod Note:

People, let’s dial back the ‘tudes up in here. Remember, keep it civil.

Curious now, do folks know what's actually in the Cursed Scrolls?

I don't mean that dismissively, more would it be worthwhile for me to break them down at a high level?

Yes please, particularly the newer ones. I didn't buy into that Kickstarter.
