We’re planning on running a full campaign with it starting next year. We’ve just been doing some one shots for the past few weeks to try out the system.

We haven’t played Demon Lord, so can’t make the comparison!

Last night, we bumped our PCs to 7th level to try out the Master path abilities in our final session and fought a CR 32 monster - monster scaling is different but that’s pretty tough. The spells and abilities are insane but it was still incredibly challenging. My death priest who could teleport...

I found out recently that The Warriors is based on a Greek play by Xenophon called Anabasis about Greek mercenaries who had to fight their way out of the Persian Empire when Cyrus the Younger is killed while trying to take the throne.

“I’m shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Casablanca is just a warm hug for my soul. I adore that movie.

Highest level PC who started at 1st level - My 16th level Swashbuckler in 5e. This took about a year and a quarter of play time. I also had a 20th level Ranger but we started that campaign at 5th level. This took about the same amount of time for us so at least we’re consistent! For...

So I don’t think the budget was an issue or at least not in comparison to other similarly budgeted movies. I’m just looking for whether it was an entertaining result, and this movie, more than perhaps any other in the past four or five years, has been one I’ve come back to for rewatches on...

Yeah, I’ve noticed Brennan is very much a roll-with-it DM, but he also makes things challenging with both the combats and by giving extra incentives for more information or success if the player is willing to try using skills they don’t have proficiency in or a higher DC check. The whole thing...

Okay…this whole “I have to read your mind to participate in your thread” thing stinks.

I can’t imagine stripping out what was ultimately the best sequence in the entire movie.

His club apparently also functions as an atlatl but with only a range of 20-40. So part of me is just trying to picture this to begin with because I think of an atlatl as being an extra fulcrum on a javelin/spear that gives it extra range or velocity.

What’s telling is that’s the way you chose to approach the conversation at all.

What would be an example of a feature in a new setting that is specific to 5.5? I’m having a mental block here. All I can think of is weapon masteries but I don’t really see how that turns into a distinct feature unique to a setting versus any other setting.

I’m not saying toxicity doesn’t exist but are you really equating that to mere disagreement with one’s opinion?

I know this probably isn’t directed at me specifically but don’t get me wrong - I love new settings and welcome them. I’m just saying a new setting based around a new system for the purpose of highlighting said system may not work out if the system isn’t really that different from the preceding one.
