    Level Up (A5E) Martial Artistry (3pp book in the works) Ideas and Concepts

    Yeah... I like this rewrite better. More "Klingon" less "Orc".

    I miss the Outsider type... Would be so useful to have that one back.

    D&D General Muscular Neutrality (thought experiment)

    .... that is not remotely what a "Hill to Die on" refers to... It means no one, here, is going to take your side on altruism being "Slavery" or even "Subservience". That is a terrible redefinition of a word that diminishes the brutality of real world slavery to try and hold it up as defense for...

    Level Up (A5E) Martial Artistry (3pp book in the works) Ideas and Concepts

    Rereading the Drek... I kinda wanna change 'em a lot. Still "Made by Fallen Gods or Mad Wizards", of course. They're basically meant to be owlbear people. But probably give them a society of self-reliance and semi-isolationism so that the ones who show up to towns are weird strangers and stuff.

    Level Up (A5E) Martial Artistry (3pp book in the works) Ideas and Concepts

    No one is entirely certain how the Drek came to be. Some suggest they were the creation of a pantheon of now-forgotten gods slain by their own worshippers. Others speak to magical experiments that were loosed into the wild in some forgotten epoch only to return to the civilized world once their...

    Guess who just got some more heritage sketches delivered... Meet the Drek (Image 1) and the Macabre!

    Level Up (A5E) What is living on the food and "souls" put in extradimensional spaces?

    My answer: Passing between the planar barrier into these incredibly simplistic pocket dimensions causes "Essential Loss". While a stick is still a stick when pulled out of a bag of holding, or a sword is still a sword, an ineffable essence of the item is gone. Perhaps it's the familial...

    D&D General In Heaven the Cooks are French... (Setting Thoughts)

    The Pipeweed thing was more about how incredibly global and historically bizarre most campaign settings are (I.E. written as if they're 1200s Europe with goods from all over the world and from time periods ranging from 2500BCE to 1920CE) and yet how they're treated as deeply eurocentric and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Goblins and Orcs Not Being Green

    There's four big reasons goblins and orcs are green in the cultural zeitgeist. 1) Games. Warcraft, sure. But also Warhammer miniatures and stuff. But with an even wider impact, Legend of Zelda type stuff. Original. Sure, they're more blue than green, but on a crappy old CRT the difference is...

    D&D General Redesigning DnD 5e with no Bonus Actions

    @mearls It'll definitely be simpler and faster... but will it be -better-? I don't feel like it will. A drum I've been banging on for years is that the best way to allow a Gish to exist is by letting them cast and attack in the same turn, so they're not being half a character at a time. Part...

    D&D General Redesigning DnD 5e with no Bonus Actions

    The more he writes the less 5e it looks, imo. Not that it's a -bad- thing. But it's definitely a system that won't be compatible with other 5e based systems or 5e based materials.

    D&D General In Heaven the Cooks are French... (Setting Thoughts)

    Warhammer Fantasy literally has Brettonia, The (holy roman) Empire, Araby(a), Cathay (China), Nippon (Japan), and the Kingdoms of Ind(ia). They don't even try to hide it! Thank you!
