    D&D General Hyborean-punk overlords and city-states.

    Thanks for your answers. I say it sinceretely. I am happy to see you are willing to participate adding your own ideas. Here an idea of city-state. Officialy it is only one but really it is divided into two zones, uptown and downtown. The uptown is the zone with wealth and power, ruled by the...

    D&D General Hyborean-punk overlords and city-states.

    Thanks. An idea I was thinking one of the overlords to be the self-proclaimed "spokeperson of the Egregore". The egregore would be like a mind collective, something like a group of souls who working together become as powerful like a quasideity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore Other...

    D&D General Hyborean-punk overlords and city-states.

    I was thinking in the homebuilding of a world that is a mixture of Hyborian age(Conan the barbarian) and postapocaliptse (Mad Max). Yes, you can guess my source of inspiration is that setting. But I need ideas for the coalition of the city-states, ruled by the overlords. These are the main...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Today the horror genre drinks from lots of different sources. Let's remember the new "analogic horror" subgenre that you can find in internet, or those indie videogames. Ravenloft is a special franchise because it is a setting, more focused about a group of regions than specific characters...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ungodly Heaths (Dark Sun spiritual successor)

    Thanks for your answer and interest. I see two options. The first one would be to continue with the Region of Tyr/Athasian tablelands and the second is the action of a different world where the Athasian civilitation arrived but also other cultures and PC species from other wildspaces. I vote...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ungodly Heaths (Dark Sun spiritual successor)

    I have got a new idea. In Oerth(Greyhawk) somebody publishes "Galek Sandstrider's adventures in the shatered lands". The author says he remembers his previous lifes before to be reincarnated in Oerth. His book is mainly a compedium of monsters and creatures from "Gamma World" and "Dark Sun"...

    You can say "the national market should the priority for the business" but an answer style "you aren't the kind of client I am searching" or "your opinion doesn't matter because you aren't from here" is an epic failure in the diplomacy check. The international market is very important or you...

    Bad taste? Sorry but you can't imagine the "bad taste" I had to suffer from the "media", for example some cover from the satiric magazine "el Jueves" (like MAD or Charlie Hebbo). I am not so rude but I am too used to suffer "rudeness" and then I have become relatively insensitive. It isn't...

    Can you explain the reason because it sounds so taboo? I could understand you fear it to become a lack of respect for victims of historical injustices in the real life, but you aren't talking about it, are you? We know it is wrong, we aren't disagree about this. But my opinion is it can appear...

    The "Athasian Feywild" or "Land-within-the-wind" was canon in 4ed and the origin place of the "Athasian eladrin". Athasian genasies also were canon. I meant I feel unconfortable when an evil organization is killing hundred of innocents and the PCs can't stop or avoid it, or at least not until...

    I can try understand the reason because somebody may feel unconfortable with the threat of the slavery but in the Western civilitation slavery was abolished more than a century ago. Why are we talking about this as if it happened a few decades ago? The wounds of the past are supposed to have...

    There is a serious difference between telling villains killed a lot of people of the past, or they are killing "off-screen" and PCs are watching abuses in front of them and they can't stop it, or the risk is too high, almost a trap by the DMs. You are free to add the dread emperor from the book...

    OK, I don't like the part of human sacrifices in great scale. It can be done by evil cells of cults but not when more people are killed than in a slasher movie. I want to play Mad Max or Conan the barbarian not "Fear & Hunger" We don't need a return to the region of Tyr but data to create our...

    We have got three parts, the crunch (here we are going to include the monsters), the fluff/lore/background and the metaplot. The metaplot isn't going to be touched in a long time. Maybe even we could see a reboot. The crunch only needs the ordinary work to update stats and changes acordings...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Now the phylosophy in Ravenloft 5e is the players should can live adventures in all domains without direct contact with the dark lords. The metaplot was an important part in some TTRPGs in the past but that ended, among other reasons because today that stuff is too easy to be spoilered thanks...

    The irony is if DS is showed like "too mature for teenages" this could cause the opposite effect, and the teenages wanted to play DS because it seems "for mature audiences". My opinion is DS is not so marketable by today's standards because the restriction of classes and PC species are against...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    The irony and tragedy in Ravenloft is even if the curses could be broken by means of the way of redemption the dark lords are too linked or hooked to their sins and flaws to leave their wrong paths. They themselves sabotage or ruin any chance of redemption, and rejecting such opportunities makes...

    There is a other option to introduce an "Athasian spin-off". One would be a new dark dormain like Kalidnay but I suggest something like the layer "Androlynne" from Fiendish Codex I. I imagine something like "Galek Sandstrider's guide of the region of Tyr" focused mainly to monsters, some PC...
