    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    Good question. As a default I operate under a +4 CR. for Feywild/Shadowfell monsters and +8 for Elemental/Astral. Ancient Epic Dragons would therefore be CR's 28 or 32. That roughly parallels Bahamut and Tiamat - whom you could rate at either CR. Great Wyrms are an interesting idea, but I am...

    Kickstarter related... It looks like a tenfold jump in complexity for me to charge the printing and (in particular) shipping costs (via Pledge Manager) within the Kickstarter. I'm not sure I need that added pressure on my first Kickstarter. Here are two Kickstarters that used the Drivethru...

    I watched that Death Battle myself. Death (in this case Nekron from DC, Lady Death from Marvel) is CR 100 Divine Rank 22 in my rules. Therefore we can use that as a strong guideline for other characters. White Lantern Kyle Rayner is certainly below Nekron. Exactly how far below is debatable...

    Going over the math, switching from Discount Code to Print version necessitates 12 tiers: PDF only TIER 1: PDF only (colour art version) = £30 TIER 2: PDF only (B&W Sketch art version) = £25 Hardcover (Standard Quality) TIER 3: Book (standard quality, colour art: Cover A) + PDF = £55 TIER 4...

    The latter would simplify the Pricing Structure certainly. I'll drop Drivethru an email and see the pros and cons of the lump sum deal - on paper it sounds better.

    Yes I can see the psychological turn off amigo. Maybe I just have to charge more for the book/less for the PDF.

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    Exactly. I understand there is a Psychological Aspect (and indeed that may trump the Practical Aspect in this case) but on Drivethrurpg I typically try to price my PDFs and Books so that I make the same profit from each, with the books naturally costing more due to Printing Costs. If the PDF...

    Kickstarter question. With Drivethrurpg handling Fulfillment, I charge my 'profit' in the Kickstarter and then Backers get either the PDF or the PDF PLUS the Discounted POD (Print on Demand) code for them to order the Print version of their choice. So is there any reason why I should have a...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    okay thanks for the info Alzrius and ArcanistD. I didn't go with the Huge Dragon mythic form for the God of Dragons simply because I thought it was something they should be able to do as a Divine Boon. I also have a Dragon Breath divine boon that will stack IF you already have a Dragon Breath...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    Its tricky to judge but that fact you essentially need to beat them 'again' is itself close to a +4 CR jump. So I'll go with that. I list one possible Mythic Form for each Purview but you could always make your own based on the examples. One idea is that the Mythic Form power is functionally...

    D&D 5E (2024) Our book just launched on D&D Beyond - AMA

    Thanks for that information and thanks also for the reply. That sort of thing will be handy to have for subsequent Kickstarters. Cool, although the convention 'circuit' possibly not as practical for me here in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but I can certainly see how that would help to spread...

    Thanks that was very helpful! :) Your going great! ...just need more Epic Tier Material. ;)

    Greek Gods vs. Titans

    Immortal/Divine power is not 'dependent' upon worship. However, in my rules, the title of god denotes an immortal of whom the majority of their overall power comes from worship and thus they 'care' for mortals. An immortal of whom the majority of their overall power does not come from worship...

    Greek Gods vs. Titans

    The Titans are chaotic-leaning Anti-gods (uncaring towards mortals). The gods are lawful-leaning Deities (who draw power from mortal worship) Mechanically: Gods 51%+ power derived from worship Anti-gods: 51%+ power NOT derived from worship. As a rule of thumb I'd use a 75/25 split. So Thor...

    Thanks amigo - I just replied to them. My plan is to run Facebook Ads for 60 days (30 days before and 30 days during). But unsure if Facebook is better than Instagram or that I should do both or other places?

    D&D 5E (2024) Our book just launched on D&D Beyond - AMA

    Hi there, I am at the Pre-Launch Page stage with my first Kickstarter for an RPG book about 5E Immortals rules (God Rules: Players Guide) just under 6 weeks out. I am planning to run 60 days of Facebook ads (30 days before the Kickstarter and the 30 days during the Kickstarter). Can I ask...

    3 Spell Levels Higher. If I was doing them probably CR 20, 24 an 28. Adamantine would be CR 36. The Diamond Golem I had in the book was far too weak for the cost of the thing. A Diamond Golem alone should probably be CR 28 ish (Collosi +12 CR )- I'll work out the details when I come to it.

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    My pleasure amigo. Killing all the devils is likely just going to make way for something worse to take their place. In terms of the progress, finishing off Chapter 8 (of 8*) this week (give or take a day). Cut a few illustrations to hopefully sneak in 125 Epic Spells. Had 20 new epic energy...

    Well in any war the defender probably has a 2:1 or 3:1 advantage, Devils being organised leans toward the latter. That's the first reason Divine Realms don't get invaded that often. The second reason is allies. So if an Immortal (not of Hell) invaded the realm of an Arch-devil, ALL the...

    Good point. Maybe 6 books (4 x Cover A, 1 x Cover B, 1 x Cover C) for £90 (save £90).
