    D&D 5E Walk Like An Egyptian

    For inspiration on a fantasy Greece, I would look to some of the lore from the MtG Theros set. It had some really good city-state ideas and a good spin on the Greek gods. There is also an OSR game called Mazes and Minotaurs that I think you can get for free.

    News Digest: Controversy Abounds! New Vampire Edition Details, Green Ronin's Talent Search, 7th Sea

    I agree with you. I think this debate is a bit silly. I was just trying to facilitate communication by pointing out that epithet had a valid concern but that Green Ronin did not have bad intentions. You do provide the bottom line, that the company can have whatever criteria they want.

    News Digest: Controversy Abounds! New Vampire Edition Details, Green Ronin's Talent Search, 7th Sea

    I agree that the inclusion of non-binary people does point it to all "No Boys" kind of view, but I don't think that was their intention. There is a huge number of male individuals and a huge number of female individuals. Transgender individuals shift some people around, but it stays basically...

    D&D 5E Let's bet on the next D&D adventure path!

    I think it will be fey based, mostly based off of all the fey in volos. Probably hags and maybe goblins.

    D&D 5E Thug Rogue

    I think this is alright for NPC's but has some opportunities for PC multiclassing abuse. vicious attacker barbarian with a sneak attacking greatsword and gwm is just too powerful.

    Eska, my new homebrew world

    Are they really descended from dragons? or is it just some other dinosaur like creature? Nice work here with this, I really like your conception of Gnolls and Hobgoblins. Also, can my Grey elf Mage have a goblin familiar? I would really want to play a Dwarf Battleragver that is really...

    Help me brainstorm Death Totems

    Ok, well that was where I went first. You could always change it to be a bear head i guess. You could also take out the fertility aspects of him as well. My other one is also from wikipedia, and is sort of a psychopomp but those aspects can sort of be taken out, especially if combined with...

    Help me brainstorm Death Totems

    Baron Samedi (saturday) This one is less dark, but is a more fun NPC. Baron Samedi is a spirit of death. While he is not a psychopomp, his brothers are. His totem spirit is a black rooster. He represents the inevitability and finality of death and is a protector of the dead. He is opposed to...

    Is this meant to be an evil spirit, or just a dark, shadowy, death-spirit?

    My (mostly) all encompassing home-brew setting. Comments and suggestions welcome!

    Thanks for commenting! One of the principals I based this around is that there are many lesser gods. The Elf, Dwarf, and Human pantheons only have their full power when they are all together. They are third or fourth generation gods, similar to parts of the Egyptian and Greek pantheons. Also...

    My (mostly) all encompassing home-brew setting. Comments and suggestions welcome!

    Yea, sorry, just haven't had the time to fix it until now, it's fixed now. Also, most of the Angel/Devil stuff is just background, and might show up in higher level stuff, but often will never really influence the game. Thanks for commenting!

    D&D 5E The Sorcerer's Spells OR Do we want another magic class?

    Yea, something vaguely like this is what I was envisioning, basically throwing out all the wizard bits and adding metamagic. I just thought changing the wizard would be an easier rout to get what you wanted rather than changing the sorcerer or writing a new class. Of course, you could also just...

    My (mostly) all encompassing home-brew setting. Comments and suggestions welcome!

    I built a world around the concept of what happens when magic and wizards become so powerful that death is no longer a real setback. The world has reached a place where any time anyone reasonably rich or an adventurer dies they can just be revived. If you went to hell and can't get back, well...
