I remember when I was thinking of using level limits that I standardised them at 9, 15, and unlimited. then (working of 2e) I adjusted the level limits so that any class that was originally 15+ became unlimited, 10-14 became a maximum of 15, and 9 or less became 9. So a 2e gnome would have...

I think I'm a little over superhero movies, I'm not even excited for doomsday. I'll probably watch them eventually but they're becoming a "wait until streaming" watch rather than a cinema watch.

As an aside, I have seen in an expert set the suggestion to let a thief succeed even in challenging situations if it makes the game more fun. I think the actual example was if the party would be put into an unwinnable fight. Doesn't help with balancing the class, but it has been a suggestion by...

Nice, I've been trying to think of a reason to start up starfield again, this might get me back into it.

DnD goes wild tends to make me think of a lich flashing the adventurers... As a shake up, rather than class specific, I'd like to see a shake up of the magic system affecting all classes that use it. Not sure to what exactly but maybe something like the old dragonlance saga system where magic...

Haha, yeah, I don't know why anyone would thought this was needed in video games, turns the women into that generic AI girl, not something I'd really see myself using instead I'd just stick to the original graphics. There's some things I like about genAI such as quickly running up an image for...

It has a good shelf life, but you need to remember to refrigerate once opened.

Maybe I was doing it right when I was younger and something else confused the issue.

It's not that difficult, but it's assuming I'm correct with how to do it, maybe it was explained in a sage archived column. Basically it doesn't matter when each class levels, you roll 1d10+4 and divided that by 2 when the fighter side levels, then after gaining the xp for the wizard side you...

This is actually something I find quite interesting, the import/export of stories. I did my honours disstertation on ancient Egyptian folktales one of which (maybe more, it was a long time ago that I was writing this) we know was imported from the near east and adapted to Egyptian mythology...

I was reading the yak men description, they have a whole mountain kingdom and send spies into the zakharan cities using a magic jar ability to take over people. Reading about them, I can see a campaign or set of adventures stopping them from advancing their plots. There's so many threads of...

That'd be cool, I like taking published adventures and converting them into campaign, I did a mini campaign woth the thunder rift modules. I've mostly been reading the campaign guides for Al-Qadum but will be reading through the adventures as well. Might even be able to convince some friends to...

With the GM's sale on at the moment I decided to complete my collection of Al-Qadim PDFs from the DMs Guild. I never actually got to play this setting, but I absolutely love it. Making a setting where genies are all over the place, unique types of wizards with secret organisations (must be hard...

I remember being confused by the constitution bonus for multiclass warriors, I don't I think at the time we weren't doing it right, we just added the best bonus to the final result (normally the first level you gain hit points so a fighter/thief would gain the full bonus when they hit level 2 as...

I guess all of these people had to start somewhere, I think I just have a set decade where I know them from and so get surprised when I see them (or hear about them being in) something from before that time.
