When checking if a person would be a good fit, before I tell them anything about how my table works, I ask what they'd like to play from core. If the answer is "tiefling" or "warlock," they're not a good fit. No core races other than human (and I only do variant human, not vanilla), and the...

I haven't bought a WotC D&D product since I picked up the 4e core on release day, whenever that was. ...don't take that to mean I'm still playing 4e. I'm not.

I am currently running a mashup of Dragon Heist, Curse of the Crimson Throne, and Egg of the Phoenix, with a host of alterations and modifications to fit my setting and my metaplot's needs.

Here's my take on the concept. It hasn't undergone any real testing, though. Also the spellcasting mechanics for the caster subclass are going to look funny, because I have a homebrewed casting system.

When I run games in my setting - and I only run games in my setting - I ban all core classes and all core races other than human. I am not Tolkien, and I am not running a world he would have written. I run my setting, with my preferences and thoughts regarding worldbuilding, and so I have no...

Is he going to wield dual scimitars and have a magical panther ally? Because I feel like I've heard this story before.

Currently planning what will look something like this:

"No longer existing in my setting" is a rough gig.

All links are to homebrew of my own design. Races all link to same document. Penumbra Rising: Current game, I am the DM, characters are level 12: Isrin: female draenei lawbringer judge Qirin: female firbolg observation learner Zekla: female isci blackjack gambler Cryton: male rythuli...

They suffer from the naming problem that plagued 4e. With a better name, I imagine they would have been better received.

I don't allow multiclassing in my games, and haven't for years. I've read numerous arguments against it, both in terms of how it impacts the game and characters mechanically and RP-wise, and have decided it just doesn't make sense for my table.

I'm the DM. All characters in my games get a feat at 1st level, and stacks with the feat granted by being human (I exclusively use variant humans and don't allow vanilla).

Some of the questions could have been better designed. Asking me if I played with my parents - who introduced me to it when I was a kid, ~30 years ago - before and during/after COVID seems a bit silly, because the answer is "before," but (I assume) that's not really what they were asking.

My completion rate for PbP games, DM or player, is 0%. I'm not sure if that says something about me or the medium. In-person or VTT games: 50%, for games I've run (5/10). Games in which I played and was present from start to finish (whether natural or game death): 33% (2/6), so far as I can...

I've been writing about my setting since '94, and started running games in '98. Still working on it, and still running games in it today. I've literally never run a game that wasn't in that setting. It's changed over the years, both due to my tastes evolving and the actions of characters, but...

What an awkward necro. If someone had been born the day I first posted in this thread, they would now be older than I was when I made that post. TTRPGs are an engaging hobby because they engage a lot of different ways of thinking and being creative at once, and I'm be hard pressed to name...

I've been running the same setting for 20-some years now. Vastly different groups over that time, as well. Characters' actions have consequences. Characters can - and have - shaped the way the world plays out. In one notable instance, a PC became a major antagonist (still "played" by the...

I'd like to have all my homebrew classes in at least a usable state by April or so. I'd like to get the setting guide I'm working on also in a usable state, since my wiki got nuked and my current group is new and isn't familiar with my world.

That... is a suprisingly good point. I'm not sure how I managed to write out all that and not mention how and which beams oppose one another. I'll address that in the next editing pass, thanks.

I've taken a gander at this before, as it's been worked on, and if it weren't for the fact that I have a different approach already in mind for psionics, I would absolutely be using this.
