So was I. :) But my player wanted a robot that would be innocuous looking so no one would try to shoot at him (even as he's secretly hacking into their minds and frying their nerves). I couldn't argue with that logic.

I've considered it, but truth is I based my conversion on a lot of other people's work, including the Middle Finger of Vecna blog, the Murder Nerds (who did an excellent write up on a 5e D&D Shadowrun conversion), and others. I asked Enworld what they thought about me posting my conversion...

Thanks Wulffolk. Sci-fi/fantasy isn't really everybody's thing. I totally understand that. I appreciate the kind words though.

Thanks everyone. Dragonstar was my favorite campaign setting. I thought for sure it would have been converted to 5e by now, but when it didn't I knew I had to do it myself. By the way here's a picture of my PCs I put together for those who are interested.

I agree with what's already been said. DMs are free to decide what is and isn't allowed in their games but once they've opened a door (which she/he did twice, once by allowing you to play a variant human and once letting feats be part of the game) it's really bad form to try to close it again. I...

I just wanted to share with you all that my Dragonstar campaign launched this weekend and it's off to a fantastic start. I'm using a combination of dozens of books (mainly Ultramodern 5e by Dias Ex Machina games). I've always wanted to run a session 0 where the players can create characters but...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll keep this between my group and I then.

Thank you Robus. I'll add that and then post. Much appreciated.

For the past few weeks I've been busy building up towards a new campaign I want to DM for my group. It's going to be a conversion of the 3.0 Dragonstar campaign setting by Fantasy Flight Games. I've been writing a campaign book for that conversion. Well, I've finally finished my campaign book...

I'm with you. All of this Plane Escape Extended Edition stuff has gotten me excited about a 5e Planescape. Of course Sigil and the factions are a must and the blood war is vital to the setting. I think we would definitely need to see a playable version of the Rogue Modron and the other weird...

I'm going to hope that the lack of comments means everything looks good and nothing appears broken at first glance. That would be great actually. I hope everyone gets a use out of these. Thanks!

I have been in the process of trying to convert Dragonstar to 5e. I've made a lot of progress (mostly by cribbing off of a ton of things I found online and tweaking as needed). I have finally gotten around to converting Spellware. For the uninitiated, Dragonstar was sci-fi, space opera, magic...

I managed to finally pick up the NeuroSpasta 5e book yesterday and I've been reading through it. Despite sounding like a type of food favored by Italian neurologists, NeuroSpasta's actually a really cool book and a great pick up if you're looking for a 5e game that's cyberpunkesque. The book...

He wants to create a creepy old wizard who uses magic to touch his enemies. I don't see what you could possibly find funny about that. ;) As for the original question, I would make a warlock and ask the DM to reflavor. Why can't eldritch blast be a spectral hand that slaps or punches an enemy...

It's if creatures that will move out of the way I will say they move out of the way. It would be different if it were a wall or something. In that case I would it's like polymorph. If you don't have the room you can't change.

Couldn't agree more. When all is said and done I think these rules are going to be a great tool for some DMs.

I don't think you're missing anything (unless I'm missing it too). Somebody suggested we use average BR of the creatures in a unit but that doesn't feel right either as it would mean a unit of 500 thugs and a unit of 5 thugs would have the same BR. Someone else suggested that for the purposes...

I like this change too (using BR/100 instead of just straight BR) but you're right in that there's still not much use for cavalry. However I think a simple change might fix that. As I understand the two main advantages of cavalry in warfare were the speed that they can move around the...

This is very awesome. Good job tying in the character's motivation and backstory.
