1) Use D&D24 to produce Psionics for 5e. It'd be Paranormal Power with a bigger budget and more writers adding additional content. 2) Offer official support to 3rd party publishers and content creators in the form of a minimal-effort and low-cost addition to D&D Beyond. The first one's kinda...

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/102 While it has never been tested in court for TTRPGs... but it has been tested for games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_v._Amusement_World Meteor was practically the same game as Asteroids, though the individual rocks were differently shaped...

That is a REALLY good point. Which is why I write for 5e-compatible games rather than trying to spin off another game. After all: You can't copyright the rules!

That is also true. There's tons of games out there played over the internet without a VTT. Sometimes that's because it's a less map-intensive game, as you noted, and sometimes it's because an extra webcam is SO cheap and works with your battlemap and minis. Yup. It's a thing people do. I...

So... here's my take. Grab your grain of salt: The "Critical Role Bubble" hasn't burst. Neither has the COVID bubble. People who were introduced to D&D in 2019 and 2020 are still playing the game in massive quantities. Some are doing their own homebrew worlds at their own tables, some are...

Specific beats general, in the end. While the Stunned condition applies those effects, this ability specifically allows you to take a reaction while stunned to ignore those effects. Same with Paralyzed. That said... might be better to make it a Bonus action. So that on your turn you're limited...

The issue is that if you can always choose to do so, you should almost always choose to do so. In which case most conditions become "Gain a level of fatigue or strife each turn and ignore the effect" This is especially true for stuff that requires Concentration on the part of the antagonist...

Y'know... You could, instead, make this a universal Knack. Something you can take with one of your slots to give it an opportunity cost while making it available to everyone. I bet you could make a GPG article out of a series of "Universal Knacks" that anyone can take. New Reaction: Struggle...

Honestly... I kinda love it. Though I think, maybe, the best way to do it is to make it ability specific. You're using your highest attribute to overcome the effect. Physical attributes, Str, Dex, and Con, gain Fatigue. Mental attributes, Int, Wis, and Cha, gain Strife. That way the penalty is...

I've wanted that, too. Also wanted Vicious Mockery to be a bonus action cantrip for Bards. It does d4s of damage and disadvantage on one attack on a failed save. A really useful thing to take up the same part of the action economy as bardic inspiration since inspiration runs out. Plus it's...

One action to flip a table or cast the Mold Earth cantrip to make an earthen berm to duck behind. At slightly higher level you can use that action to cast Stone Shape for the same purpose, if there's no dirt or tables nearby. (Though, let's be honest... your DM would probably let you flip a...

"At extremes good loses sight" No. At extremes, good is still good. If you make good into evil "At Extremes" you're just doing Horseshoe theory, which essentially ascribes the worst aspects of Law or Chaos to the "Extremes" of good in order to frame good as a bad thing. Good is all the way...

So... having read several of the classes, I'd like to provide some of my insights to folks: Bloodweaver Tzimisce. That one word encapsulates them well. Okay, so maybe they've got some Tremere in there, as well, but it's very much WoD style bloodmagic spellcasting and vampiric tendencies. Even...

Should've stuck to your guns until your boss fired you. Then cleaned him out for wrongful termination.

In your particular interpretation that you prefer. Which I find silly and self-defeating. Or... they're morally good enough to accept suffering rather than commit themselves to the actions it would take to end the threat of evil. Ideas like Nonviolent Resistance, for example. Or the idea that...

Fair point. The thrust I was trying to make, and with a poor word choice to describe, is that they're ideas and ideals. They can shift, and are reliant on their dichotomous state. Because they don't represent any finite 'thing' any "Third Pole" created is just going wind up the middle ground on...

So they're "Good" but not "GOOD" enough to be good. And they're never "Evil" but not "EVIL" enough to be evil? That paints Neutrals as good-lite. Not as Neutral. Which defeats the fundamental purpose of recognizing neutral as existing. Neutrals have to be in the middle for it to be meaningful...
