    Homebrew The Shadow Delves

    Part 1 of Shelsunden Cave: Revisited As I was populating hexes with general features Dyson Logos added this “Sumptuous” tower to the blog. With some minor tweaks, it will become the access point of the underwater facility that manages water circulation in Greenglow lake, and some aeration as...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    A fair critique that I don’t have a good answer to offhand. And yet we have the possible example of Sir Cuisinart in a towering fit of Rage…😉 Is Rage (su) or (sp) in 5e?

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Dept. 7 vs. Dept. 007 ? 😁 I assume the organizations you refer to could be joined by the PC's (?) Ideally I'd prefer to see it mentioned with the species descriptor, but described in detail somewhere other than the character generation section.

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    There is much here that I agree with. I am of the opinion that 5.x character generation is a sub-system that requires computer software. I want a tabletop game. With math rocks. 🙂 Coming back to the game (from 3.0/d20) after a twenty year absence, my reaction to the subclasses of 5.x was...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    I've been trying very hard to like 5e because I want to introduce a young relative to the game without the inconvenience of tracking down OOP books. Using the current edition would be easiest...but I've resigned myself to viewing 5e as an alternate prime material plane (0, 2, 0). (Gloriously...

    Other D&D Variant Domain play, what, if anything, do you use?

    For my own homebrew in progress: Tier I : Characters and Communities (Everyone comes from, and is influenced by, somewhere) Tier II : Manors and Mansions (Base(s) of operation; character success translated into real-estate) Tier III : Domains and Duties (Licence to Crenellate, Power of Ban)...

    Sporewarden's Hollow pairs well with Frothanger's Garden. (Especially if the nymph is Frothanger. 🙂) https://dysonlogos.blog/2024/10/28/frothangers-garden/

    Other D&D Variant Domain play, what, if anything, do you use?

    Re: Birthright I've been toying with the idea of an "Investure/Legacy" feat to make the bloodline aspect "modular". Get a link to the "land" but also get some drawbacks.

    Other D&D Variant Domain play, what, if anything, do you use?

    I think it was translated into d20 on an unofficial basis, with WotC's blessing, back in the day.
