Last time I started at level 2 to balance the awkwardness of different classes subclasses coming online at different levels and wanting some major plot points to happen while the PCs were still still somewhere in the same ballpark as the rest of the world. If I did 5.5 I’d probably start it at...

…So that’s why the song specified that it wasn’t a real green dress.

With D&D often feeling like even magic and gods are brute facts that only exist because of magical particles bumping into each other, alignment gives some sense of a telos beyond all this multiversal mess. Not saying it does a good job of it, but it does a job. I also don’t think moral...

On the house elf thing, there’s two parts to it. House elves do tend to enjoy housekeeping, but they’re magically bound to stay at one house even if that means having to work for people who hurt them. The seemingly obvious solution is to undo the binding so the elves can keep house for whoever...

Out of universe, humans are most common because most of them time not having them be would increase the word count without actually increasing the content. If a character is 99% the same if they’re a human, why make them something else? In my setting humans are the baseline and most of the...

I think my preferred solution is that their scary look is their “war face” that they put on when the time for being subtle is past.

Probably devils, because I don’t think I can act them as being so smoothly manipulative, convincing, and superficially charming that it overcomes the fact that they’re covered in scales, spikes, horns, and constantly on fire.

So far I’ve only given the SRD a skim, but the concept of stating up an environment much like an enemy stuck out to me. It actually makes Daggerheart a contender for one campaign idea revolving around lifting regional curses.

Thanks for telling me, I’ll check it out.

Watch people talking about it and see if I like what I hear enough to buy it.

PCs are the ones equipped to take down the wraith raising and army of the dead. The part about the army? The PCs are going to need some assistance with that part.

Ravenloft CRPG where you play as a Darklord. Do not hold back on how depressing an experience that would be. The best ending is where you force your patron Dark Power to possess you so your party members can end you both. Basically, End Roll in D&D and a bigger budget.

Currently working on a Caucasus Mountain themed region, inspired by Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. From what I’m finding out, any Georgia-esque country wouldn’t be too unfamiliar, but there’s a lot more digging in I have to do. Stuff it could have so far: giants and intelligent, but still...

Quite a lot of fantastic stuff going around, but not to such a degree that ordinary life doesn’t happen. The village probably has a few people who can do magic and a couple of mystical trinkets locked away, but usually they can’t cast/be used over and over again, so are saved for emergencies...

The majority of writers and artists are already not living off their works. “Don’t quit your day job” might be used as an insult unfortunately often, but for most creatives that’s just being realistic. That’s not a knock against their skill, a lot of my favorite works were made by people who did...
