This is timely. I just downloaded the free version from Drivethrurpg earlier today. I'm trying to expand my gaming knowledge and this being OSR and well reviewed made it a 'two birds, one stone' situation. I've never played SWN but I have stolen a lot from it over the years. Beyond what you've...

Something that will see the light of day outside of my gaming group: no. But I've always wanted to run my own system for them as a sort of bucket list type thing. Prove to myself that I can create something that works and is enjoyable even if it won't replace other systems at our table. With my...

I ended up selecting more than half so I clearly enjoy many of the current aspects of D&D. My top 4 in no particular order of importance: Skills - No surprise as it is the most popular pick atm. I've been branching out into other games that have different, and sometimes better, skill systems...

That sounds like a solid way of going about it. I like to do something similar with casters. I just give them each a theme. Lightning wizard, healer, pyro, summoner, etc. I don't really change their spell list but with a theme I can quickly pick a spell to match it 95% of the time. And if...

I once ran an encounter that took place in a winding canyon against a dao, efreeti, and some elemental minions. This was their third encounter of the day against two CR 11's and a few CR 2s. I don't remember the player's levels but it was a deadly encounter whereas the other two encounters were...

Adding on to what I already said: I talked with my brother and he said all my suggestions for altering an already rolled d20 should be 2-5 as 6, 2-7 as 8, etc. Leaving the natural 1 leaves a small chance of failure and doesn't mess with abilities like the Halfling's Lucky feature.

This is my answer as well. I've got this dream campaign that starts off in the Black Sails version of Nassau but with fantasy elements. Sailing, world building, fun and breezy, but with dark omens for the future. Part 2 takes place in a fantasy industrial revolution period. If you've seen...

For a game using bounded accuracy there should be more abilities/features/etc. that raise the floor of a roll without altering the ceiling. Things like Reliable Talent, Portent, and Elemental Adept do this already so its not like the system can't handle it as a mechanic. Reroll abilities like...

I would like there to be one, whether it's in the PHB or a supplement, so that we can at least have an agreed upon starting point to build from. Artificer fits the bill on a basic level but I've always felt like it was the oddball of the half caster group. Similar imo to how monks and warlocks...
