Hey y'all! Just coming in here with a "bump," the Nations & Cannons kickstarter campaign for The American Crisis is coming up on its final 24 hours. We hit a bunch of stretch goals along the way and are really excited to bring this to life :D

This is actually very much intended! The idea is to capture the heroic fantasy of folk heroes like Daniel Boone, Nancy Hart, or Peter Francisco ambushing a patrol of Redcoats in the forest. Players take on the role of an irregular half-platoon of partisans, rangers, and spies; characters that...

This one has a fun story from playtesting. It turns out, it's pretty important to for these types of features to have a rider discouraging use on "a creature with an intelligence of 3 or less." Otherwise, your player might suggest putting their buddy in a headlock to bluff a moose...

Dev here! The cultural package is a system called "Heritage," which you choose alongside your Role (Officer, Pioneer, Renegade, Scholar, Scout, and Veteran). It intentionally has no mechanical benefits, as we wanted to strictly avoid real-world ethnicities having any statistical bonuses or...

Ooh, I've got some loose prototype notes for an Aeronaut artificer subclass in Nations & Cannons (mundane 18th century campaign setting). Hopefully to be printed when we get to a French Revolution sourcebook, someday. These are still half-formed concepts that still need an actual ballooning...

Haha. You guys have been great :) Do people post homebrew / prototype content in these forums? I might start to do that if there's interest—just tryna be respectful of the culture here since I haven't used EN World that much before!

Let me drop some things! Here is our website and discord where you can access the free Quickstart and other play aids: Website: NationsAndCannons.com Discord: discord.gg/CjNVyGJ I try to post free content every 1-2 weeks on these socials: Reddit: /r/NationsAndCannons Instagram...

Oof. Good catch, that should definitely be 30.

This is a great point. The level 10 retirement rule is meant as a kind of historical guardrail past Tier 2; after this point, HP and damage values for threats start to balloon past a credible approximation of real-world combat. You certainly can keep playing past level 11 (especially in a...

As (partially) flawed as the Artificer class is, I would love to get my grubby mitts on it to hack together a mundane/historical version. Unfortunately, even post-SRD kerfuffle, it's still a gray area whether or not you can even mention Artificer and publish subclasses for it in a 3pp product...

I'ma hit you with something different. The American Crisis is, to the best of our knowledge, the first D&D campaign guide built to be 100% historically accurate. Think of it like D20 modern (or Everyday Heroes); we give you the tools to strip out elves and wizards and replace them with redcoats...

Thank you! It's one of those small details that we really wanted to get right when introducing a new class. Here's a high res version: I feel like a lot of players completely miss the class icons in the PHB, because they're inset in a way which is pretty subtle. It's a shame; they generally...

Hey, folks. I'm just finding this thread now, I'm the lead designer of Nations & Cannons. I've been meaning to post here but, as someone who doesn't often frequent EnWorld... I didn't wanna kick in the doors and start shilling my product? Outreach is hard, y'all. We do have a Quickstart...

Indie publisher Flagbearer Games is looking for an Adventure Module Designer to write historically based adventures covering key moments in the American Revolutionary War for our historical 5e setting Nations & Cannons. Each adventure will be a 20-30 page module, including combat, roleplaying...

Just wanted to follow up with an update here. We just pushed a major new build for Wayscape and we're still looking to expand our playtest. If that strikes your fancy, come check us out! We always welcome new feedback.
