    Indie game developers and Mastodon

    If you're interested in Mastodon stuff I thought this was quite a good guide. There isn't the problem of the algorithm making your posts disappear. https://padraig.blog/getting-started-with-mastodon/ There's an enworld server! @morrus@chirp.enworld.org @tabletopjess@chirp.enworld.org...

    D&D 5E (2014) What houserules do we assume is common in the community?

    I actually wrote a super light ruleset (borrowing from PF2E and the Black hack) to allow for very simple at-table, intuition-like, almost zero bookkeeping to use both of those. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/440844 Of course, not caring is always valid! 😀 but it's bothered me for a while.

    Industry episodes

    Apologies for cross-posting, this appears to be a more relevant forum to post the list of episodes about the TTRPG industry. Streaming, publishing, indie, etc. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06/16/industry-episodes/

    Good games specifically to showcase non-D&D TTRPGs

    Hmm. Well, it seems that they will want a measure of high fantasy (a world different from our own full of magic) because they love playing D&D. And they will probably want to roll D20s. But having a world where character death is meaningful and present but not random is a key pre-requisite. I...

    Podcast #253: D&D and 5E Video Games

    Well I quite enjoy playing them. :) Sometimes it's fun to go through a second or even third time. Valheim is a great game. Lots of exploration and world to explore! I've got about 600h on that.

    Level Up (A5E) Every Synergy Feat in One Handy Chart

    Not yet. 😀 I'm sure it'll come up sooner or later... 😀

    Level Up (A5E) Here are some free A5e things.

    That's definitely a variant you can use but you'd probably want to check with your players to see if they're into it.

    Level Up (A5E) Here are some free A5e things.

    Right. Sorted that. Thanks for the heads up! I'm very much a novice at the actual layout business, although I'm starting to get quite into it. :) Good job btw on understanding, not original to me, it's from the Black Hack but I've always wanted to fit that into my D&D games. :)

    Level Up (A5E) Every Synergy Feat in One Handy Chart

    Well LMK because I've expanded that list. 😉 I think it's an area for growth in Weird Settings.

    Level Up (A5E) Here are some free A5e things.

    Yes. The clever bit is that if you get more than D20 Ammo it starts counting towards bulk. So you can generally ensure you don't run out of Ammo, the quiver of ehlonna exists and would help, but it keeps the possibility. Negative consequences for exploration challenge failures, temporary...

    Level Up (A5E) Every Synergy Feat in One Handy Chart

    That's an excellent resource. Had you considered including transformational feats as well? That's stuff like the Vampire Spawn chain which was lumped in there for some reason. 😀

    Level Up (A5E) Here are some free A5e things.

    I like making Narrator’s lives easier. 😌 I made some little free things for you to enjoy, that might solve some problems for you. Here's a further simplification of encumbrance which incidentally let me solve the problems of only being able to fit 200 halberds on a Galley and the vexing...

    Level Up (A5E) Explaining A5e

    I recently did a lot of very intense explanations of A5e at UK Games expo. I think this is probably useful if you're trying to get across what's going on with A5e, or, alternatively if you are thinking about running 5e for the first time. 😀 https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06/14/how-to-explain/

    Gate Pass Gazette What Would You Like to See Going Forward?

    X posted from Discord: I'd love to see more cultures! But I am VERY biased about that sort of thing. I guess what I want from GPG is A5e content that I can't just straight up steal from basic 5e, so heritages, cultures, exploration challenges, combat maneuvers, heritages, feats which use A5e...

    3PP Release [Kickstarter] Veranthea Codex: Grethadnis

    Awesome work Mike! My A5e Kickstarter One if by Land, Two if by Sea, Three if by Air has launched earlier yesterday as well! Man, we really should have coordinated that better! :) I just really like the concept of going old, old school and using the existing Level Up material to really...

    RPG Evolution: Tips for Reviewers

    If you give a product less than a 5* review than, by the algorithms determining what gets shown to customers, you have said "This product stinks." Is that incredibly unhelpful and stupid? Yes. But it's why flaws in a product still have 5* reviews because whilst flawed, in that respect, the...
