    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    In the earliest days, magic items were pretty much ad-hoc. I think there were some examples in the core book but not many. With the release of the Expert rules, magic item creation became codified and highly connected to actual spells. Basically, creating items was based on three spells/rituals...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    It is only a Christmas song in the same way Die Hard is a Christmas movie: it takes place on/near Christmas, but it's not about Christmas.

    Well, in that case, consider yourself one of today's lucky 10,000.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Jesus to a Child is one of the most beautiful and heart-rending pieces of modern (well, not all that modern anymore) music made.

    What gets me playing Draw Steel and not Pathfinder 2e?

    Yeah, PF2 is very conservative with forced movement. The basic ability is Shove, which is an Athletics skill vs Fortitude defense, and you push the target 5' on a success (or 10' on a crit). Pushing someone farther than that is a level 12 feat, and spells generally have a similar scale on any...

    I already won by listening to it before going to bed last night.

    Draw Steel General Thread [+]

    They've also talked about the Operator (mech pilot) and Acolyte (warlock, sort of, though more about embodying traits of their patron than being granted spellcasting power), but my understanding is that these are more at the concepting stage and nowhere near release. I also watched a stream with...

    Draw Steel General Thread [+]

    I'd recommend keeping the normal leveling rate for the starter adventure at least, as changing it might mess with the pacing. The intent is that you'll level once during the adventure and possibly once more once it's done. If you intend to speed the leveling up, you might want to cut out parts...

    Draw Steel General Thread [+]

    The default rate is 1 level per 16 Victories (with most encounters, including montages and negotiations, giving 1 victory but particularly hard ones giving 2), but the game completely supports going faster or slower. Doing so might affect the pace of published adventures though.

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    Ooooh, this is interesting. On a whim, I got curious and wondered if Free League were working with Erik Granström to make a revamped version of Svavelvinter/The Fifth Conflux, often considered to be the crowning achievement of the old version of Dragonbane and... a mere Google search away, it...

    Draw Steel General Thread [+]

    Not many. The dice they're selling now are leftovers from the kickstarter. Basically, when they did the kickstarter they overproduced the limited stuff somewhat to have spares for customer service purposes, so now they have some left over that they're selling off.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    2e doesn't have segments as such (even if some early books alluded to them). Rather, 2e has three different initiative rules depending on how complicated you want to get (four if you count Combat & Tactics). I might have the names wrong, but they basically work like this: Group initiative...
