    Check Out This 43-Page Preview of the Unity RPG

    Oh man! I made a promise to myself to get a copy of this RPG back then, in 2016, while the author was still sketching it on rpg.net, playtesting some ideas and showing the very first pieces of art. Thanks for reminding me it was released, just bought my copy! =) Here is the original thread...

    Monte Cook Games' New Kickstarter Is Your Best Game Ever

    I find it weird that the article (correctly) cites Robin D. Laws and Mike Shea... while the second paragraph of the official announcement says: "To that end, Monte Cook Games has an exciting new product to announce: A book unlike anything we—or anyone else—have done before." I'm wondering what...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 100: Quest, The Black Hack, Dream Askew / Dream Apart, Harvesters The Peasants

    Thank you @AngusA for these crowdfunding posts. You've already made me spend so much money on projects I didn't even know existed, that you won the honor of being the first target to die horribly in the hands of my future clichéd undead army of hellfire! Also, I'd like to share an upcoming...

    D&D 5E What would you change?

    And here I am the complete opposite from you. I'd like stats like Shadow of the Daemon Lord: 11(+1), 12(+2)... up until 18(+8). You can have bounded accuracy even with high modifiers, but one of the biggest complaints I get from my players is that an über 18-str fighter and a 10-str farmer are...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    I'm laughing right now because, in the end, you used the same bad wording that I did to explain the situation! "Ready to Intercept"! :D That's true, you're right in both aspects: 1. You can't be Engaged and control a "Hot Square" at the same time... 2. As soon as you Intercept someone, you...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    I'm back! Sorry for the long delay! Year's end and everything! Hope you all had awesome holidays! ;) I actually think it's excellent! But Flanking was deliberately left out of the PDF because the intention was to focus on how to make TotM more interesting, while trying to stick as close as...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Well, it's only my opinion, of course: 1. I really don't agree that it sometimes lead to complexity. Personally, I think it would lead to a slow down way too often for my comfort. 2. Breaking engagement to Intercept in exchange for an OA feels the same as breaking engagement to Dash in...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    As written, if you're Engaged, you cannot Intercept at all; you're too busy fighting another creature. But the real reason for this is purely mechanical, in order to avoid cascading effects. Imagine a creature trying to Intercept a player (using a Reaction out of turn), and to do that it breaks...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Thanks a lot for the great feedback! I really appreciate it. By the way, it's was so nice, that could I bother you to post this very text as a DM's Guild review? :D

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Let me know how it goes! =) You're right, it wins because Dashing while Engaged provokes an AoO from every creature you're Engaged with. By default, being Engaged with a creature does not prevent Dashing, because this locks down combat too much, which is the opposite dynamic that this system...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Thanks a lot for the feedback @habahnow! Yes, that's exactly it. If you have Movement Disadvantage, you must forfeit your Action and Bonus Action (or in other words, you must use all your Movement, Action and Bonus Action), in order to move Far, and you cannot become Engaged with any creature...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Version 1.4 of Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind is up! It's just a minor edit to clear a rule and layout improvements, as suggested by Stalker0. Thanks for all who downloaded and for all who kept on giving feedback, :D

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Oh... THAT game! :D I've played almost every Final Fantasy released (the exceptions were 2 and 3 for the NES, I believe). But I must say they were not the inspiration for this system (although I can definitely see some similarities). This system proposed here grew more organically, from the...

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    Nice! Good to know this system has had some kind of prior testing! ;) But now you got me curious: which 1992 video-game are you talking about? Maybe I'm in need of "more inspiration"!

    D&D 5E Roshambo-Style Theatre of the Mind Combat

    This sounds like a very good solution, which I immediately took to playtesting! But in 5e, the concept of round for powers in general is not meant to be "until the last count of initiative", but instead it's meant as "until the creature's next turn". And when you have a lot of creatures in...
