    What Video Game RPG System Do You Want to See Adapted to Tabletop

    Masteries from Everquest OA Frontiers. You choose a percentage of your xp to go towards class advancement and masteries. It's an MMORPG so classes and leveling are exactly what you expect. Masteries were more like feats that gave you bonuses to attributes, resistances, mana/stamina, etc. There...

    The Oblivion Remaster Is Releasing Today. This Is Not A Drill.

    And here I was hoping for another re-release of Skyrim.

    How do you choose a class?

    I put party dynamics at the forefront. Being the DM a lot, I like to let others choose their characters first and then make my character with that information. Let my fellow players drive it a bit since I get to do that so much when I'm on the other side of the screen. After that, I try to make...

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    My wife and I like to watch The Ultimatum together. We pause a lot and talk about what we would do in these situations, if we agree/disagree with a person's actions, and generally use it to explore our own relationship values. I watch Love Island (UK) by myself and it is the best trash around.

    What magic system that uses some form of power points (e.g. casting spell x costs 3 points) is your favorite?

    Homebrew: you've got a bunch of dice as your pool. When you cast a spell any randomness component of the spell is dictated by the die roll. Some just use the roll while others have effects based on the range (1-3 does X, 4-6 does Y, etc). It was inspired by wanting to use 5e Battle Master dice...

    D&D General Make up some new spell names

    I felt inspired by @CleverNickName and their latest meme in the meme thread. For those that didn't see the meme the joke is that "Mike's Hard Lemonade" is a spell as it follows the naming convention of <person's name> <adjective> <noun> found in many famous D&D spells. Tenser's Floating Disk...

    You're approached by a Hollywood exec...

    Same for me, but I'm doing 4 books per season. Each book gets its own 3-5 episode arc. Put in a side story episode once or twice a season. Give me 6 seasons and I'll do all 23 planned books. Certain younger characters can age up more or less in line with how they do in the books. Immortal...

    D&D 5E (2024) Magic Missile is saved! Hooray!

    When your homebrew rule, that you didn't realize was a homebrew rule, is no longer a homebrew rule.

    D&D General What would your "fourth core rulebook" be?

    The "Basic & Advanced Rules" is a great suggestion. A place to stick rules like spell/martial combos, rituals and spells that are meant for NPCs, wealth tables, playing with no or more complex skills, and any other modular stuff. I'd probably even include the other genres variations with class...

    Trailer Beetlejuice Beetlejuice | Official Trailer 2

    Add in Casper and we've got a real ghost-verse on our hands. More seriously: I agree that this movie needed to cut at least two b-plots. Too much time was spent with major characters off screen. It felt disjointed because of it.

    Let's build a setting, one post at a time.

    The lizardfolk see themselves as stewards over all the lands that Uol blesses with its light. They are often found as advisors, philosophers, and teachers amongst the other species of the world.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the "Simple" Full Casting Class?

    I went with Wizard because of the evocation subclass. Pick some spells that go boom. Cast spells that go boom. Only the people you want to get hurt actually get hurt. Simple. Also, we're 66 votes in and not one is for the Druid. At least we can agree on that.

    D&D General A Homebrewed Ranger Class

    What's the breakdown of those 68 pages and does it include spells? Or do you have a lot of subclasses?

    D&D General Amazon's 'Secret Level' Animated D&D Episode Featuring Tiamat

    Fingers crossed this looks really cool. The Outer Worlds getting some love was not something I would have guessed. Definitely a setting worth exploring.

    D&D 5E (2014) Help Me Combine the Wizard and Sorcerer Classes (+)

    For an elemental (or not) based rune subclass I think starting from the UA Rune Priest and 5e Rune Knight works well. You use your spell slots to make runes that are applied to weapons, armor, jewelry, paper, coins, etc. The Rune Priest runes had simple and complex properties whereas the Rune...

    D&D 5E (2014) At what level do your heavy armored characters get their plate mail?

    Out of curiosity I went back to the treasure hoard tables and found that the average Challenge 5-10 treasure hoard has a value of 4,544.5 gp not including magical items. For Challenge 0-4 the average is 398.2 gp. If you follow the guidelines given in the DMG a party will have amassed 84,588.4 gp...

    D&D General Killing Gods

    I've faced off against avatars and "lesser" gods. Never one that would be considered a major deity. I did play in a short campaign where we were cutting the roots of a god's power in order to de-level him, so-to-speak. Never got to fight him though because we did too good of a job and another...

    D&D 5E (2014) At what level do your heavy armored characters get their plate mail?

    Early on in 5e I reverse engineered how much money and magic items characters should have by level based on the dmg. Obviously, that's just a guideline, but it showed that characters would surpass the 1500gp mark around level 5. Level 5 is also a big upgrade with extra attacks, 3rd level spells...
