I love these ideas and look forward to their development, but I will say I can't help but snicker at the term "hopepunk" (and have ever since I first heard it a few years go) because when I think "punk" I think of it as an F.U. to the establishment from a sense of there being "NO FUTURE" (so...

Put one of the gems they are hunting in the Princess's crown and have the mercs (or another rival party) be after that one next, with her trip to the neighboring kingdom being the opportunity for it to be grabbed, requiring the party to try to intercept. If you need the party to have more info...

Yes, definitely. Though I will say I have long played with what I’ll call “non-mechanical traditions,” both in D&D games I’ve run for friends and ones friends have run, that while magic can accomplish some things technically well they can fall short of mortal expectations/desires. So for...

It me!

It's been a minute since I posted anything new because I am deep in the portion of this project that requires a spreadsheet of 350+ spells I am using to keep track of what should be on which spell lists and which spell I am tweaking, totally re-writing, or straight up getting rid of.

Yes. And that’s a great downtime activity. Clandestine political meetings or having to fight off an assassination attempt in your skivvies! Players in my games often talk about getting laundry done or taking baths when stopping at an inn or roadhouse.

Since literally my favorite part of the Lord of the Rings films is how dirty they are (esp. the dirt under their fingernails), I imagine most people who aren’t nobles living a soft life as dirty and careworn. Even if their clothes started as flamboyant and colorful all it takes is a few minutes...

I am realizing now that they are not in fact D&D branded socks but generic rip-offs that I never looked at too closely because they were a gift and cool enough.

one pair has "D&D" in the logo font and mimics and the other has D20s and fireballs or something? I'd have to fetch them out of my drawer to really remember.

whoa! these are different from the D&D socks I got for Xmas a couple of years ago and bust out for special occasions!

I’ve had games where this happens. I wish it happened more in my current ones.

:ROFLMAO:

I appreciated you post and your willingness to change but. . . While I am not gonna be as jerky about it as some other posters, I am gonna suggest reconsidering your use of "female" in that way. I get that you were talking about mixed ages, but 1. "women and girls" works fine, and 2. "female"...

The audio book version read by Bronson Pinchot is really good. I was really impressed with his voice acting (and that he had range beyond Cousin Balkie)

On these very forums, give or take 20 years ago, I remember having heated discussions more than once about women in gaming with forum members who explicitly insisted on it being a male hobby and refused to have women at their table either because they saw D&D as their “man’s club” where they...

Yes and no. Yes, because the homebrew ruleset I am working on for future D&D campaigns is based on 5E (with a bunch of previous edition stuff grandfathered in) But also, no. . . because I felt like I had to create a whole new ruleset to achieve something close to my preferred playstyle while...

So far "spiritual" seems closest to what I am looking for, but thanks for the suggestions, everyone (and keep them coming!) @Baron Opal II : yeah, "force" is a weird one. Yes, it is physical but it is also "purely magical" which I interpret to mean it can be as material or immaterial as it...

let's say I want to divide damage types into two groups. one group is "physical" damage (fire, slashing, cold, lightning, poison, etc) what would be the "magical energy" group (force, necrotic, radiant, psychic) be called?
