    THE CARDCASTER: A Novel New 5th Edition Class!

    Of the two, this class is the most similar to Cardcaptor Sakura's approach to card magic. Each card has influence over a certain aspect of life, but just what magical effect occurs varies on the player's will. If you are an adoring fan of card games on motorcycles... Stick around!

    EN5ider #101 - The Diabolist Class for 5E

    I'm really really impressed Mike, great job! (Conjuration Points--What! Also, I love that random evil-seeming stuff like "ow bad touch!" and voodoo dolls were included. Simply fantastic work!)

    EN5ider #101 - The Diabolist Class for 5E

    Diabolists, unlike warlocks, are pure evil! MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!! Straight up "Gorey '80s horror flick" feeling. Very awesome! Summoner of feinds! And so much more! Spellcasting ability WISDOM! Not a DPS spell-spammer! If I were to line this up with a well-known character, I would probably say...

    Was Gandalf Just A 5th Level Magic User?

    I for one am usually against trying to cram extraordinarily complex and creative concepts into a non-custom D&D class. Even so, aside from the provocative title, I don't think this article is that revolutionary (thought admittedly it probably was at the time). To me this article is about how to...

    AMA with Bruce R Cordell (The Strange, D&D, Monte Cook Games)

    Hey Bruce! I love the Numenera setting and the Cypher System. Are there any plans to release any of the system (even the barest bones) under the OGL or a similar licence?

    Self Publishing: What's An Artist Worth?

    As someone experimenting with self-publishing (with not disappointing results!) this advice is really useful. I didn't think about my role evolving from writer to publisher. Looking forward to reading this more thoroughly later! Thanks for your business perspective as always Morrus. Its been...

    The Temple of Shattered Minds now available!

    I said this on Twitter but it's worth saying again. This adventure is HUGE! 40 pages! From just a couple of glances it has some really clever stuff going on; for example, James brings us some unique NPC interactions by randomizing whether villagers react to your presence with fear, hope...

    Monte Cook On Fumble Mechanics

    Right. Some of the best examples of which are when a character or object has a special quality that is hard to quantify in game mechanics. For example, if you roll a 1 your Nausicaa-style wind glider may glitch up, or the bizarre mutterings of that creepy extra-dimensional mega owl might start...

    Monte Cook On Fumble Mechanics

    As a huge fan of FATE, I think this is the way to handle things in a d20 system. If you happen to also use 13th Age's "One Unique Thing" rule, (and equate Fate's "Evoke" with Numenera's "Intrusion") then that means that when somebody rolls a 1, you can quickly survey what is unique about this...
