Btw, thanks for the reminder of Return to Oz, with that performance by a young Fairuza Balk. If you haven't heard it, several years ago, with the band Armed Love Militia, she wrote and recorded a song called Stormwinds. It's well worth a listen.

What a delightful character concept! Warforged? The 13th Age version of the warforged is the gearforged. Unlike a warforged, the gearforged are entirely metallic. All their knowledge is encoded on metallic ribbons that spool within them. The ribbons can be switched out, thereby fully or...

Working character backstories is my favorite part of the process, so I will not be sending any of my PCs/NPCs your way. Still, I want to applaud you for this. So many players are not inclined to create those histories, for whatever reason, so I'm really happy that you're stepping up to the...

I made the same mistake in taking Resilient more than once in the first months after 5e debuted. The majority of feats are limited to being taken just once; only Elemental Adept can be taken more often. It wasn't just Resilient that I had to back-up on: I'd also taken Magic Initiate more than...

Investigation = Gather Information = Investigation. Different terms, same thing. Another way I think of it: Investigation works with Insight and Perception. I usually think of it as it applies to solving crimes: Wisdom (Insight) may be needed to develop an understanding of possible motives...

I like it. One of my favorite PCs in my 4e days was a dwarven Storm Warden. That guy might just see a conversion to 5e now. Grazie, cbwjm!

Kobold Press put out Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition (from 13th Age) that includes a PC race option for a type of ghoul called a Darakhul. From the supplement: "In the lightless depths beneath the ground, an empire of devouring ambition grows and plots and dreams. Its citizens call themselves...

MichaelSomething - Channeling West Side Story - Dude, this is brilliant!

One pan to rule them all, and in the darkness fry them.

The ultimate singing bard: Mighty Mouse (the cartoon, that is). And he did it singing opera.

A thing to remember about Unearthed Arcana play-testing options is that they are frequently unbalanced in being somewhat more powerful than official options. The game designers use the reviews and their own testing to adjust anything needed for balance. It tends to whittle down UA classes a bit...

DM's Guild has an offering called Tavern Games. It has some rules for gambling in general, plus billiards and darts. In other words, typical bar games. I suspect that you're just looking to briefly describe what game they're playing, and not looking for actual rules. Just think of the sort of...

Played in that, and found it scary and fun.

Under this scenario, see Athas for an idea of Toril's future. :-S

You haven't heard of knomes? Kender-Gnome cross. Who needs Cthulhu? This is the stuff of nightmares.

Yeah, I've got the occasional problem with waxing all seriously after reading a humorous bit. Thanks for the return to reality. By the way, decades ago, my mother took a course in Irish Gaelic and was told after the class that our family name, "Shannon", derives from an old I.G. word for "fox"...

Aren't all RPGs imitations, grotesque or otherwise? From birth, we learn through imitation. Our limited, very human brains can only contain an amount of information that is just a minuscule piece of the total data set of a species that speaks over 7,000 different languages, worships a lot of...

OK. Now I'm trying to come up with a pun - and perhaps a new cantrip - that would put the fear of death in its target. Casting Time: 1 action. Range: Self (5-foot radius) Components: V Duration: 1 round You mutter a quick imprecation when you cast this cantrip, touching the emotional heart of...

Thanks for the link!

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/List_of_D%26D_PC_Races I added the new races and variants from the Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition and Southlands Heroes for 5th Edition to the wiki: Midgard Alseid Centaur, Midgard Dragonkin Gearforged Ghoul, Darakhul Kobold, Midgard Minotaur, Midgard Ravenfolk...
