Individual creature art is also very pretty.

Got my books! Also got DM screen. Damage to sleeve they talked about was really minor, but I understand collectors being miffed at "not mint" condition. Good on KP to do what they could to make amends. Folks with copies; look up the Flinderbeast in the creature book, and tell me that's not an...

Did you receive shipping notification? My box is sadly empty today.

Follow-up; how the heck do I create an account for the store? I see a "login" button, but no "create account". Trying to create account for purchasing material.

Curious about Level Up!, but clicking through SRD page links is a little.. It's not the ideal interface for me. I see there's an existing SRD, a replacement/overhaul in the works, AND books available, if I'm interpreting things correctly. The A5eSRD page is where I'm pulling this info from, but...

Doom lets monsters get Advantage on attack, impose Disadvantage on PC Save, or refresh/regen an ability, like a Breath Weapon. DM gets a budget of Doom points per encounter, based on party level and desired difficulty, or even "just because" for narrative reasons.

Finally got around to reading some of the Monster Vault. In a lot of respects, it reminds me of Flee, Mortals!. Going to have to really dig in with someone with a better head for math to do a side by side and really grok which to use when.

Well, some of the adventures that were backer rewards are part of Black Flag/ORC, so I believe they’re a match.

Do you have the other KP creature books for comparison? I love their imagination and themes and ideas, but even with errata I find them a bit hit or miss for CR. Flee, Mortals! set a high standard in that regard. Something I meant to do but haven’t is compare the TOV Bar Brawl in the module I...

Much depends on the nature of crits at your table. My monsters don't crit; player crits do max+1roll; example a 1d8 weapon becomes 8+1d8. Just did a CTRL+F for "Hardy" in the Monster Vault; only finds the trait on dinosaurs. Making it a trait of a few thematically similar creatures is less...

That's a toughie; I am smart enough to develop an opinion on something I see as an issue, but not smart enough to do my own design, generally speaking. I know it's a contentious issue. MCDM dropped them entirely from Flee, Mortals! (probably my favorite creature book), but that book had...

Not that I can find in the Player's Guide; what I referenced in my posts comes from the SRD document. Player's Guide disclaimer: Disclaimer in the SRD document:

More detail on Luck mechanic: Players start with 0 Luck. They are awarded Luck by DM as with Inspiration. They can also earn it by "failing upward"; one of last night's players compared this to World of Darkness system. Miss an Attack, or fail a Saving throw? Get another Luck point. Players...

So, I backed it; ran one of the backer reward adventures last night, and set aside 45min for AAR (After Action Review) with players. Won't focus on module, but system. Favorite thing? The new Luck mechanic, which replaces DM Inspiration Points. FANTASTIC system that encourages use, building and...
