It's funny, because a friend of mine used Crystar in his old game back in 2e and statted him up as a paladin. :) I had considered the idea of Crystalium being a part of the elemental plane of earth or just some land in some other setting. I hadn't considered just making it its own world. :)

Back in the 80s, there was a comic book series called The Saga of Crystar: Crystal Warrior. It lasted for 11 issues and was known for having a toy tie-in. The short version is that in the kingdom of Crystalium was ruled by two princes - Crystar and Moltar. They were given a choice between...

Looks like the video was made private. :(

Part of my backstory is that he was named after a distant ancestor, which may or may not be my friend's character.

Just over 30 years ago, back in my college days, we had a guy join our group named Jim. He was ex-army. He was injured in a training accident. Jim once played an elven mage/thief named Jim the Flim-Flam Man (aka Jim Mann), and once had a monk NPC named Brother Jim. See a pattern? ;) He...

I finally worked up the nerve to ask him, and he's absolutely fine with me using the name. Whew! Also, I love Bester and Psi-Corps. Babylon 5 for the win!

So I edited my first post to clarify. It is NOT the same game nor the same group. Whatever game I would play him in would not have the other player. I am not going to publish anything with this name. Just for use in the privacy of my home games.

Follow-up: What if the DM had an NPC we never saw named Crystar, who was inspired by Crystar from Marvel Comics? Can I create my own if I completely rewrite his stats and story?

When I was in college and first playing D&D (2nd edition), a friend of mine was playing a human psionicist named Kelson Haldane, named after a character in Katherine Kurtz' Deryni series of novels. Kelson was my intro to psionics. The player left the game and his character was said to have left...

I would love to play in an Exandria game. While I haven't really watched much of Critical Role, I love the lore to the setting. I would expand it by putting Nentir Vale and the continent of Nerath on Exandria. Seems like a natural fit to me, especially with the gods being mostly the same.

I love me some D&D-based science fantasy. I've looked at several options, but my favorite is Dark Matter by Mage Hand Press. It's an overlay on top of D&D. I currently play in a game that uses that, but I wouldn't mind running my own. Dungeons of Drakkenheim by Ghostfire Gaming (specifically...

I once played a character back in AD&D 2nd edition that was based on the Beastmaster. I played a Kagonesti wild elf ranger in Dragonlance named Nighthawk. He used the beastmaster kit from The Complete Ranger's Handbook. It fit quite well, though it was overpowered. Nighthawk had a squirrel, a...

Do you mean this Of Sound Mind? I've never run it. Any good?

Will articles be 2024-compatible, 2014-compatible, a mix of both and Level up?

We use Tasha's quite a bit in the games I play in because of the psionics content. In one game, we heavily use Dark Matter, by Mage Hand Press. It's a great science fantasy add-on for D&D.

I had one time when I played a wookiee Jedi in a friend's Star Wars game (homebrew World of Darkness system). He was a great character, but there were personality conflicts with other characters. So he got written out. I landed up transferring the character to another friend's d6 Star Wars...
