Probably gonna stay away from Lovecraft, I've never read it but seems everyone else has and perhaps too saturated. The Dero, I loved those in AD&D, I didn't realize they predated AD&D, that sounds like a great one, gonna dig into that, thanks!

I like that, I never heard of this series, very cool, I can work with that, put a spin on it, great thanks!

I need something more fantasy like, but I love that name, I may steal a version of that.

Do you have a mythical race of creatures that live underground, could be humanoid, but monstrous is fine if they are industrious or have some variety of community (soldiers, mages, priests). Evil is ideal but if it is something I repurpose as aggressive/dangerous, be great. I can't use any DnD...

I like it, rolling d20 for everything isn't always great, in 5e it was very confusing understanding saving throws vs skill checks. Your system is pretty fun, I might use thanks!

Well apart from desecrating a corpse, 1e it said the act of animating dead was "not a good one" and good clerics should consider carefully. The spell component included a piece of human flesh. So yeah.

of course that makes way more sense !

This is not related 5e. Lets say I want to make a skill in check in Strength. I have a 14 out of the usual 3-18 starting values. But I don't want to have a small plus, I want to use the full 14 value because the difference between a 14 and a 9 strength is huge. Rolling under your stat seems...

Can you explain what issues came up after 10-12 sessions, class imbalance or too strong for monsters or what?

So when you say 5e are you referring to anything in the core books or you talking about the adventurers they published and the people, places, that it referred to? Since 5e is supposed to be pretty generic right? Do you think the 13th age had sufficient "lore" in its core book, or do you think...

Reading the above article I kind of get the issues described. But I'm not really following the big picture of what you need to do with lore per se. So say FR never existed and no campaign existing, and you were tasked with organizing and creating a strategy for a setting that goes with your...

I think you would only do it if you read the books, its those characters that made the setting iconic. Raistlin (evil wizard in a good party) was the driving beauty of dragonlance for me. I know we did a few dragonlance modules integrated into the campaign but I have no memory of how we did it...

Not 5e specific. Its not really a rules specific podcast. What they do is the only review modules that they have run, and then they break it down into components, theme, art, playability, etc dig into with analysis that is almost like a "publishers or editors" analysis. They don't hold back...

Fear of a Black Dragon is the best podcast for people who write modules, period, it has the highest quality content.

compared to the cleric, yeah

32, what a master of marketing, its like people who never read his books jumping in on the action

If you need to roll a 15, there is a 30% chance of success if you have one boon its a 47% chance of success. but if you have three boons you only have a 55% chance of success Do you think if you have three boons, its not really adding enough compared to one boon?

If they are a different race or alignment you could. But as a DM you generally played with friends in the 2e days and you knew who was going to pick each items. A fighter/thief is lower levels than a thief, you could also at a level requirement.

Yeah but when we played 2e there was no need to give a thief anything at low levels, they were just cool, thats why people picked them, not because of their combat ability, that was up to the fighters to front line. The thief was sneaking around backstabbing people or maybe looking for treasure...

Great review, thats the kind of review I'd like for my "ideal ttrpg".
