Identifying player types will go a long way: players in it just for socialization and having fun players who like to roleplay players who need a break from reality (escapism) players who love the tactical side and is meh about everything else Etc. When you have seven players, having a...

I've tested the heck out of these (stolen) enhancements, and they add that "have some mohr challenge without a bunch of damage" flair. Clickie here: Pathfinder 1E Encounters: Action Economy Enhancements --anthony

mmmm magical fantasy cold war mmmmmm Click here: Use the D&D Magic System to Introduce a Campaign Magical Cold War

In the current module on Indiegogo, there aren't any backgrounds, as it's only a 32-page book dedicated to the adventure, lots of maps, and monsters. We designed the module to be, um, modular, so there isn't campaign-specific lore beyond a single page of information the DM can use if they don't...

Hey @BluejayJunior and commenters, Here is a followup post with some custom feats that go with these backgrounds and a small explanation on the design. Thanks for the comments/suggestions/criticisms. Three 5E Homebrew Feats that go with Homebrew Backgrounds

Yeah, I probably should have been more verbose in that article. The campaign setting they show up in is--challenging. And some of the players objected to the standard backgrounds on the grounds they were not that roleplay-ish, and a bit frou-frou given the gritty rules optional rules they play...

Fifth Edition D&D contains mechanics that beneath the surface cause the game to stagnate, and also lacks practical guidance outside of combat concerning player dynamics. We won’t be the first person to write about this and offer solutions, and we won’t be the last—but here's our take. The...

"Nobody is going to high-five a balanced encounter. They’ll high-five after crawling out of a spike-filled pit with a bunch of poisonous snakes. And they have to crawl through a gelatinous cube. And the trap door over the pit is a mimic. And the snakes are on fire." Available here: The...

Just the first book. The second book is in progress. We had to retool how we operate. We thought that customers wanted the campaign setting, so we finished that book, but it didn't fare well for various reasons on Kickstarter. However, we have a new production pipeline. CC2 will be a much...

I made a background where the PC only gets a sewing kit, 100 PP, and a wanted poster with their face on it for a crime they didn't commit. Have yet to figure out how to make other Backgrounds that work with it, but I have to say as a player I would be trapped in a circular thought pattern...

Whoops. That was supposed to be "I'm in it for the spoils of war." Fixed. Thanks for not flaming me into oblivion, heh.

Oh! The forward scout. Sorry, I was talking about the two sages. The forward scout sacrifices a tool proficiency/language for a precise skill list required by the campaign setting. A player can pick the Solider background and have a more traditional set of things that come with their character...

Indeed. To me, the benefits of a DM designed or modified campaign setting is the ability to add backgrounds specific to the setting. I got all these sages: Sages from the Imperial University system Sages from the Royal University Elf sages Dwarf Sages Metaphysical Warlock/Witch Sages...

I am not a fan of tools combined with a "non-tool" (toolless? sans tool) background. A blacksmith or herbalist background should stand on its own two feet, not combined with academic-focused backgrounds--but that's how I roll.
