Hi guys, Just posted my latest blog article for the DCC RPG ruleset, my take on a less boring lizard man ... https://archadestower.blogspot.com/2020/05/dcc-bestiary-ashray.html

Gave it some thought, you are absolutely right … made the following changes, since Mithral armor counts as one armor weight class less: Mithral Shirt is now 13 AC plus Dex (no max since it's light armor) Mithral Breastplate is now 14 AC plus Dex (no max since it's light armor) Mithral Chain is...

Or fractured kingdoms …. In my campaign the Verdraaken Empire fell 1600 years ago, so some of the former provinces have formed their own principalities (Tellmarch, Aldermarch, Wymarch), there are some independent but small kingdoms (Gnelland, Arcavia, Nordell), and inbetween them all city-states...

Nice analysis!

I could ... but it's a regional thing that ties it to the campaign. Would someone want masterwork bourbon, or Kentucky bourbon? It also infers it's not universal. Finding a good Cortine steel longsword in the northern reaches of Brael Mar is a lot harder than finding it in the City-State of...

Hey all, Today's entry is a selection of feats I use in my campaign world to give different schools of magic flavour and a sense of mystery ... http://archadestower.blogspot.com/2020/04/5e-strange-magic.html

My other blog articles go into some detail about my campaign setting. I've developed a 'gazeteer' doc that's a bout 200 pages of campaign world information... I'll try to share more as the pandemic goes on. I may not have explained the range pricing well ... for a dagger, 10 gp might be the...

Nope, Cortine is a city state in my campaign world famed for it's armor and weapons.

It's my own home-based Western Marches campaign world. I've played with versions of this world since university and my AD&D days ...

And since I'm sitting at home relaxing, with time on my hands, here's a second part to my 5E Economics article, talking about regional armor variants, and creating options for players after 1st level and before magic armor might find their way into their world ... and expanding on the rarity...

Good points! Loot would be salvaged armor and weapons, magic items, and gew gaws. I agree with you a necklace, gold ingot, or other trade good would retain it's inherent value (more or less for haggling and local market demand). One thing I didn't explain the blog, but is part of the whole...

So, I'm going through all my old campaign notes, and I'm finding a lot of blog-worthy posts. And I have nothing but time on my hands, so here you are! How we handled our 5E economy of buying and selling items, be they magical or exotic .... Enjoy...

I played the original Torchbearer! Interesting inventory system to get away from bookkeeping and minutae (you can have up to 10 things) and the magic system was built on combining building blocks ... will be interesting to see what they come out with for 2nd ed!

You are right there! Harnmaster RPG had a great language world map that showed the different language families, and had rules for people trying to communicate from the same language tree. They also had a rule for their percentile communication skills like Persuasion that couldn't be higher than...

the DCC RPG book serves all needs for all people, and languages like 'Lizard Man' or 'Elf' are generic. Too generic. If monsters are supposed to be weird and wonderful, and our inspiration is Appendix N, would a backwards tribe in Michael Moorcock's world speak Elven, or would they speak...

Hey folks! Been a while since I've posted here, but I seem to have some time on my hands. Wrote a new blog article with a new Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG spell for necromancers out there, the Whispering Worms of Absalom ...

Hey ... thanks for the catch ... Here's the actual force article ... http://archadestower.blogspot.com/2018/12/hero-system-use-force.html Accidental marriage is one of the results under #8 :)

Hey guys, I was organizing my hard drive of all my RPG stuff, and came across some campaign notes and house rules that folks might find useful … I've just put up an injury/critical hit chart on my blog this morning. Enjoy! http://archadestower.blogspot.com/2018/12/5e-critical-wounds-chart.html

Well, still digging through my rpg files on my laptop, and found a Hero System combat tracker PDF that you might enjoy … https://archadestower.blogspot.com/2018/12/hero-system-combat-track.html

I was cleaning up my hard drive, and found some old notes from running a Hero System Star Wars game ... Here's my force power rules ... https://archadestower.blogspot.com
