    Creating a Tabletop RPG - Tips, Ideas, et al

    This looks very appealing, though I would have to hack it to be 'high-fantasy'. This system looks great in that it stretches all three realms of roleplaying settings, which my universe does as well. It looks like this is partially your product? Very nice! Ah I understand. If anything, I can...

    Creating a Tabletop RPG - Tips, Ideas, et al

    So essentially you're under a class insofar as that is what currently describes your character? As it evolves it finds new classes to latch onto? That does sound like it would work much more nicely. Especially when it comes to progression being meaningful rather than arbitrary. Similarly I...

    Creating a Tabletop RPG - Tips, Ideas, et al

    So far I do like how they have the system set up, and it sounds very unique. The trouble is that it's a class-based engine, and I really do not believe that a class-based system works for what I want - I'd like my players to have characters that are individuals, they mark their own identity and...

    D&D 5E Why does 5E SUCK?

    I searched and couldn't find anyone having posted this - I agree completely that 5e is too easy, however it's perfect to introduce new players, especially ones new to RPGs in general. Spoony reviews the game in depth: watch?v=jtaL5Bark54 watch?v=MaIdRMelb74 Ody

    D&D 5E Doubling Up Advantage/Disadvantage

    You could merely have a minor advantage or disadvantage, so you roll a d6 for example, a 50/50% chance to gain half again as much (dis)advantage. Say you have advantage against Phantasm, your Will save is 6 and you roll a 6, you now have +3 on that save, but if you rolled a 3 you merely don't...
