If you have to play 5E though, I'd suggest: Limiting rests. I like the Middle Earth's rule where you can only Short Rest when in safe areas (i.e., not dungeons). Not rolling for stats, use point buy or array to keep them bounded. Only average HP on LevelUp. Never give out magic items that...

Honestly, just play a different game. Making OP characters with lots of powers and mowing down baddies is kind of the point of 5E. Take it from someone that had 10 pages of houserule notes and was still rolling my eyes at how easily my Lv12 mobs were being massacred. Pathfinder 2E would be the...

Agreed. It was my getting off point as well. Taking the core game to Lv20 knowing full well it plays best 1-12, distancing it from D&D (not needed since under Creative Commons, right?), and continuing to refuse to innovate even a tiny bit really makes the newer version a downgrade in every way...

Just picked this up myself: Plan on writing a small review here once I get a chance to read it!

My advice: 1) Attributes: Use one Target Number (TN): 15 Humans choose 3 Prime, 2 Secondary, and 1 Tertiary Attribute. Demi-Humans choose 2 Prime, 2 Secondary, 2 Tertiary. Bonus to rolls are: Prime (+3), Secondary (+0), Tertiary (-3) 2) Checks: CK should only ask for checks when they are...

This is, from my experience online, how 99.9% of C&C players do it. The other 0.1%? That would be the Troll Lords and why this rule will never change. :D

I do have to say though, the chap on the far right is one of the few D&D characters I've seen in recent memory that actually looks like he's been in a fight before. More of that please.

So thankful for posts like these that help me laugh while WotC drives my two favorite franchises off a cliff. This makes me want an officially licensed Castlevania TTRPG even more...

That sounds too fun. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to making this tomorrow.

Just got my hands on a copy of this game for cheap. Looks really different from what I usually run! Anyone here still playing? If so, have any tips for my first few games? Oh, and would running this game for just two characters work?

Just passing through here, and not sure if it's been mentioned already, but Zeb is part of the Gamer's4Harris group, for what that's worth...

Sounds like it! I haven't done anything with it yet, but plan to make a few Race as Classes in the near future. Is that what you used to generate your class here? As for the Second Edition, I only had the core book of ACKS, so getting this 1400 pg, full-color behemoth of a game has me pretty...

You mentioned ACKS. Have you looked at ACKS2 yet? I was blown away by the extensive Class/Race creation tools in the Judge's book.

@Sacrosanct Glad this thread got necro'd, that's legitimately some badass ink! 🤘

I love SD, but even I was skeptical it could sustain a long campaign. Cool to see Sly prove me very wrong!

I just picked up new prints not too long ago though? Maybe they mean, not all of them have been in print...

Discord makes a bit more sense if you know its history. It started off as just an app to let gamers talk to each other while they played PC games. From there, gamers began forming groups and making their own Servers. For instance, my wife and I both signed up and created a Server where we both...

@Argyle King Is there a particular game or group you wanted to join? I wouldn't mind finding the link for you, joining myself so I can take a look at their setup, then giving you tips on how to settle in.

@DrunkonDuty Whatever you decide to watch, I hope you report back and let us know if it was any good!
