Personally, I hate the number crunching involved with XP. For awhile, I gave out XP arbitrarily, so that on the surface it looked like XP leveling, but in reality it was milestone leveling. I just got away from that completely and let the players know when it's time to level. I've had times...

Bump My players have expressed interest in a swashbuckling campaign, and I wanted to add in skyships. I've checked out the resources indemnity suggested, and will start with those. They seem to cover more of a straight "sailing ships in the air" vibe, but I'm thinking I'd like something a bit...

On my world of Eska, none of the races are evil, but any of the playable races have the potential for both evil and good within them. It's set shortly after a cease-fire in a centuries old war between the gray, wood and dark elves. The elven schism has happened, but Araushnee has not made the...

Here's a version I made up. https://5egrognard.blogspot.com/2016/01/warforged-of-eska.html I played one for one short session, so there is a lack of play testing on it. Specifically the Artificial Anatomy and the repair kits. That's something that I wanted to really see in action for a couple...

I agree with this 100%. Back when I first started we made up our own stuff, and that was before we discovered Dragon Magazine. I used to spend a good chunk of my money as a young teen photocopying pages out to collect everything together in one spot. Later I felt using rules not in the core...

I really like these options.

A 5e conversion from Dragon Magazine #146. See the whole thing here.

You bring up a valid point, you can certainly go nova very easily with a spell point system. I use spell points in my game, but only for sorcerers. It helps them stand out more from wizards, and now metamagic and going nova are both part of their shtick.

The online casting could be used along ley lines if the world had those.

I will definitely be using these if I ever run in Greyhawk again.

Always wanted to run a pirates game. I did a write-up of an idea I call the "Sinkhole" that is nothing more than an idea so far. http://5egrognard.blogspot.com/2015/05/world-building-idea-sinkhole.html

In cases like this I use the various NPC's from the back of the Monster Manual as "templates" to add to the base creature. Just pick the one the fits the power level that you want for the chieftan, shaman, druid, whatever.

I was thinking disadvantage, but I also like the suggestion of not using ability modifiers on damage. This penalty can be overcome. Some new training and practice would be a great Downtime Activity. Cue training montage montage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOcsBiCaEJ8

Mike Myler has given me a preview as well, and I've done a write up on my blog: http://5egrognard.blogspot.com/2016/04/mists-of-akuma-preview.html

Yes to whatever I find interesting. I have a host of race, subclass, monster, spell, and magic items options available for use. DMs Guild, the EnWorld Homebrew Forum, blogs, whatever I find that I like is fair game.

In my world of Eska, the gray elves live in domed cities in the mountains.
