I'm in Montreal. We play in french.

They will have the chance to give their input, but I find it's best to arrive with a canvas so we can talk around a common ground and make modifications if need be. I don't do free form creativity.

I do the same. The players worship their local pantheon at temples. A statues for each god in the same building. In my current campaign the temples are circular with alcoves on the perimeter. There are no masses and large ceremonies inside the temples. These are done outside during festivals and...

I do have players lined up. I wouldn't spend energy on this if I didn't, to preserve what is left of my sanity!

My parents made me eat generic industrial mustard during my childhood. I love it, until I tried Dijon mustard. I have no love or nostalgia for industrial mustard. 🙃

My favorite edition is 5e. Not because it is the current one but because it is very flexible thanks to the DMG options. But I long for simpler decluttered classes as in Holmes and B/X. I can't resolve myself to play these old editions because there are many things I am glad to have left behind...

Because I don't like how they are written and what they do. Been there, done that too many times since 1981.

It didn't start like that last night but it is becoming that. I'm really like it when the system (characters) and the setting match perfectly. 5e lets me do that. I've done so much campaigns (world building) since 1981. I need to create something entirely new if I want to continue playing D&D.

I came to the same conclusion. Ban all other classes and build 4 classes just for the campaign setting. That is what I'm working on today: Shaman (dreamland focus, tailored spell list) Guardian (ranger-warlord mix) Warrior (fighter-protector mix) Beastkin (monk-half-beast mix) No sub-classes...

Some very good suggestions by some of you. Thank you! Keep em coming. ;)

I'm thinking of a Witch/Shaman class that can use a mix of arcane and divine spells. I don't what the player to do that using multi-classing. I prefer making a class from the ground up. I might have been reading to many old Dragon Magazines lately... :)

I have a very good campaign idea but looking at the class list (including 3rd level archetypes) I find that none of them would fit the concept. Don't get me wrong D&D classes are great and they work well within a certain style of play that I've enjoyed a lot over the decades. But this time I...

Just rolled up 4 classic characters (F,C,M-U,T) using Bleu Holmes Journeyman rules. I intend to run a solitaire game (no DM) with a randomly generated dungeon. A few changes: - Ability scores get modern modifiers - HPs: d10 F, d8 C, d6 T, d4 M-U. Max HPs + Const modifier - Thief skills start...

D6. One variant would be to have a conflict between two of them (roll d6 twice) and let the player decide which side he will take and thus choose his companion.

No Roll. Let him observe or interact with each NPC in a tavern. The player decides which one he wants as sidekick.

That was also my approach to.

That is true. Despite the fact that I home brewed my campaigns buying these books was very inspirational for me.

Found this very interesting video created by the Cluny Museum of Medieval History (France). Quite an eye opener. It is only 3.5 minutes. Well worth watching:
