True. Matt has also mentioned he has heard from folks working on their stuff that some believe they are really close to nailing how to make the fantasy of the “wizard” would work. I’ve never enjoyed the D&D wizard fantasy but for those complaining that the Elementalist isn’t it, we might be...

It’s 60 pages. Definitely an advanced class, imo. It’s mostly filled with the blocks for the catalog of summons for each of the four subclasses, demon summoner, elemental summoner, fey summoner, and undead summoner. Plus stats for enemy summoners. There is a guide for the Director to convert...

Both the Summoner class and the Fall of Blackbottom andventure each are out on the MCDM store, right on schedule. If you had been a Patron supporter you might have gotten redemption codes for the downloads.

I’m very eager for the adventures book. Collecting a volume of monster-of-the-week adventures to plug in. My group is mostly done with every sandbox quest from The Delian Tomb (retrofit into my own homebrew), racked up enough victories they just achieved level 2. Which makes it a perfect time...

Space fantasy. He’s mentioned in streams that characters will walk on the fantasy-sun.

I think it went live yesterday?

I joined the Shield Lands triad in the second year hoping to fill a role of the person who wrangled with the existing canon. Soon we divvied up writing duties and I think I was writing 2+ mods a year. [edit: burnout happened after 6 years of it and I left, unable to get the Shield Lands through...

There’s a good chance someone who lived in Wisconsin has heard that song. Most Minnesotans I know have. Folks in the Great Lakes states get that song in our heads every November. 🥶

One of my players has been printing out the abilities as cards and because his work has a laminator he has laminated every one. He has them all laid out, lined up, right in front of him at the table. It’s a really nice way to play, imo. I think he found he could print out as cards using it...

I’m still not getting the flow of negotiations. Only been the 2nd though and I still feel clumsy. My players are also clumsy role players themselves. Regardless, last time the heroes entered the mage tower with about half recoveries. Then they got wrecked by the first tower’s encounter. So...

I was going to stick with 5E with 2024 no matter what and I was glad to see the updating that ended up on the product. I’ve been a forever DM in D&D-only since the mid-80s. (Not counting our Battletech and Car Wars side time in the 90s). But I got the $10 Delian Tomb because I loved MCDMs work...

No experience with either, but if it helps an immediate choice, in a recent twitch stream demo-ing Codex one of the developers in chat mentioned that while all the classes were done to the 1st level, not all monsters were yet entered in.

To me the rules do not simulate fiction, fiction emerges from the play. A caster is not doing anything to charge up. Like they aren’t doing anything to hold onto the energy waiting to be released through casting, I guess. It’d be passive. In general out of combat isn’t measured in six-second...

A variation could be to import a Draw Steel-fication where higher level spells are unlocked for post-initiative casting after a certain number of rounds have passed. Could use tiers of play to base the rate?

I believe it is the cancer of 5E multiclassing. Designing and balancing classes against experience of how multiclassing in expected has stifled class design for a decade. So to avoid the broken unexpected edge cases that can’t possibly be planned with eccentric new mechanics, class design...
