I once had a trickster who disguised himself as a captive that the players rescued, I unfortunately called him by his name or title and realised what I'd done when one of my players went "wait, who?". I had to quickly teleport him away but I was planning on have the inevitable betrayal in the...

Took a while for me to find (I should have gone straight to the index), but this is what the Rules Cyclopedia has to say about casting spells and being interrupted: The character must be able to gesture and speak normally to cast a spell. While casting a spell, the character must remain in one...

I like how much simpler it is to create a character, rules are typically simpler, monsters easier to run. I also have a lot of older material from 2e and becmi that I can easily run. 5e isn't exactly difficult, but I just find the older editions easier.

It's interesting that it isn't taking damage that breaks concentration, magic missile and melf's acid arrow were always great for disrupting enemy mages in the the old crpg games so I assume that was how people were playing it when it came out. I had read about failing saving throws causing...

I think having 2 or 3 low level dungeons already on the map is a great idea, single level sort of stuff that should take only 1 or 2 sessions rather than a sprawling mega-dungeon, then you can seed rumours at the local town for the players to explore. The small adventures from the thunder rift...

Yeah, sort of like a grapple would disrupt the spell. Something I'll need to consider if it comes up. I still need to look around at different editions to see what they say, haven't had a chance yet due to Christmas.

Just had a thought while making a monster for OSE, I've had a bit of a search but haven't found anything yet that answers this. For games where spells could be interrupted, if a spellcaster is hit but has immunity to the damage, are they still interrupted. Such as a fiend with immunity to...

I think mine would have to Klaus. Only a few years old but that's a great movie.

I'm gonna pretend it was a pun and therefore written on purpose.

I'm considering a fantasy victorian error game where, due to a short story/campaign idea I read somewhere, dragons run the banks. They're also the reason the world still uses pence, shillings, and pounds rather than moving to the easier to understand dollars and cents.

I love the name illrigger, I just think it sounds cool.

Man, I should go back and have another look, I was thinking I'd seen a chart like that somewhere, thought DMG, must have been your chart.

Oh man, I remember that image from way back when I used to read FF. I've sometimes thought about converting them to dnd adventures but it seems like a lot of work.

True, maybe whichever way you go you'll have to sort out exceptions. In some cases you might be able to use a caster level based on an item: uncommon, rare, epic, legendary might be care level 3, 9, 13, and 19 or whatever the minimum caster level needed to cast a spell from it. Otherwise...

I'd probably just run it the same as 1e but using a d20 + caster level to equal or beat the target number as you had originally, seems that has less fluffing about to take into account spells that have no attack or saving throw.

"What do you think this is dungeons AND dragons?!"

Dragons exist and are even fairly common; however, the only dragon my players met in the last campaign I ran was a dragon elder (essentially a god) though they weren't able to interact with it, as it was mostly set dressing. I've also reduced my dragons down a bit, I don't have metallic...

I typically run it that magical spells that require speaking have some sound to them, but it can be fairly soft and somatic components aren't necessarily exaggerated. A wizard might be able to stand behind a wall unseen and peer around the corner casting a spell against a couple of guards a...

Savage worlds core book is all you need to run a game. The RC is also one of the best all-in-ones.

I've used ChatGPT to help come up with ideas for DnD/RPGs such as subclasses, class abilities, campaign settings, spells, etc. I've also used it to help me write some DAX though I find it is only marginally good at that so I'll instead google my query and see if I can find someone online who...
