The thoughts they have around building new class features in the Homebrew Kit are interesting. They clearly intend for the core class feature to be part of the continuous gameplay loop, and so it needs lots of testing (as they note). I somehow doubt that any of the classes I keep seeing on...

I'm also slowly brainstorming through Adversaries! Probably going to focus on a good spread of T2 ones, since those are easy to drop down to T1 or up to T3. Focused on what images/fiction I want to present and their main Actions to anchor me as I start to work on interesting Actions.

Matthew Swift is late 2000s London, and honestly more impactful to how I’ve crafted my setup then anything else. The author does things with melding magic and urbanity that nobody else does. (The words of bureaucratese turned into spells of binding? Ample use of gas mains and electricity and...

Oo, rooftops are good - traversal complications. Had sewers in my head as pending (gotta do some gross stuff like fatberg elementals), good call. Don't really need an Environment for every possibility, just containers to hold some Actions that I can grab (eg: Streets suburban or urban can have...

Thinking about putting together some Environments for my modern urban fantasy just to braindump complications & descriptions. Thinking like, City Streets; Nightclub; Silent Offices; Industrial / Warehouses? Gotta have a Traversal challenge for the Goblin Ways through Faerie. Anything else...

It’s geared for orgs and creative groups doing professional stuff. Up to 3 boards are completely free though. I’ve ran OSE (Dolmenwood), Dungeon World, 2x ongoing games of Stonetop, 3x forged in the dark games, and a DH one shot in it so far. Starting my DH urban fantasy campaign in two weeks...

Also valid, but Red Rocks is literally described as a mining town - and you get to make connections to somewhere the Hand might assault / threaten later! Kinda adds to the time element.

As an aside, LMOP transitions perfectly into Red Hand of Doom if you rename Phandelin to Red Rocks and situate it in that part of the valley! I further tied the Spider to the Red Hand (bugbears and hobgoblins as minions you say?), and added hooks drawing the party west. Worked very well, and is...

I'm not going to weigh in on any of this churn, but here's why I use Miro (a workspace/whiteboard app designed primarily for brainstorming and prototyping and stuff) for all my games these days: My players like rolling physical dice. As soon as you go there, you drop most of the usefulness of...

That’s just digital book/character vault stuff. Edit: infact you reminded me that Roll20 owns Demiplane.

I'm using Miro. It's definitely more of a Virtual Table Top vs a set of automated digital tools but I like that tbh - seeing all the character sheets at once at all times is really fun, having an easy way to draw/drop/collate images and inspirations is a delight.

The core of the module's "story" isn't anything special, really. The beauty is in how it presents a very quickly "open" set of directions and possibilities to the party with multiple options for progression and flow that don't assume a singular path (or that you do even do everything!). It...

Oh, they're not a set of options defined? They're entirely open definition?

Ok, so the bonuses to rolls are far more capped than in 5e? Stat + a couple? Does the Endeavor portion have a table of suggested difficulties or the like?
