Had so many people play with joke characters in my time... Greg has "Field Target" - Pronounced with a french accent to be more a "Fee-eld Tar-zay". He also made Armon Hammer. Kirk had the golem builder Franx Tein. I had the wonderful "Fourty Two" (His race lived with numbers as names based...

I am much the same way - I like my story deep and my character interactions often. I've gone about designing my own systems to get a world feel that fits more to me. I'll play games outside of my own system - Mostly just to hang out with friends. But I only GM my system anymore. Could be old...

This was a big question when I was crafting my own system. In the end I left daily abilities in, but they are rare and difficult to get. People mostly do what they can at will (Which is pretty huge, including healing!) Of course, I did have to put limits in due to the at will nature of the...

Some great quotes from our RP table: "Never poke a wounded dwarf." (This one made it in edited form to a Knights of the Dinner Table comic) "Dolphins don't have pockets." - A great quote when the shapechanger realized they could not carry some objects back to the surface... "I've been shot...

I know I tried my best to address some of this when I designed my own system. I wanted heroes to improve - But also to still see a goblin as a threat. That was mostly solved through the grim/gritty potential lethality of my system. Since hit points do not improve much, if at all, a sword hit...

Mostly play in a weekly game of a homebrew system a friend made back in college (That has seen a lot of changes). Once in a while get to play SW Saga. As for being a DM (My normal role) - It is using my own system all the way. It has gotten to the point that I don't want to DM any other...

I was hoping for some PCs being unknowingly evil as well. I pulled that off a while back thanks to a book of prophecies. My PCs saw all the horrible things the book talked about and rushed off to stop the bad things from happening. Unfortunately, each problem was CAUSED by the arrival of the...

Thanks all! Some good sources here and there to look at and get inspiration.

Nice start Rechan! Admittedly for my system monsters are very rare (Often the last of their kind. World is really based around human interactions). So I definitely want the monsters to stand out. Some of what I do have is a twist of the normal (Or hearkens back to an older form of the...

Time to challenge those minds out there! Looking to see what interesting and unique creatures might be out there (I am adding to my bestiary in my RPG system and looking for inspiration). I've seen lots of monsters - A lot of humanoid creatures that are just different (goblinoids, etc), to...

Yes. I like the flexibility of "freeform" but wanted more limits. So when I designed a spell system for my d20 based RPG system, I went for a "spell point" system. The points determine the target number to cast the spell (For example, an 8 point spell would be an 18 to cast). It costs a...
