    Level Up (A5E) A Fix(?) For Rural Stronghold Pricing

    Time ago I made a quite in depth comparison between the different strongholds. While it's true that often rural strongholds are more expensive than the equivalent building strongholds, the fact is that often you can get them for a lower quality, meaning that they can become significantly...

    WOIN Starter Set Playtest Draft

    @Morrus I gave it a good read. Overall the draft is solid, although of course there are a few typos or stuff that may be clarified. If anything, the section that might need more work is the one related to monsters, where several entries refer to rules not present in this starter set. More...

    WOIN NOW: What to do with CHI gained from careers in a non-supernatural setting that doesn't use CHI?

    I think you basically have two options: either you turn CHI into some other attribute that may be useful to your campaign (attributes are also open ended in WOIN, you could have HONOR or something similar as described in some EONS article), or you could just replace the CHI increases from those...

    WOIN Simplifying WOIN's magic rules for a starter kit

    Even if it's just a draft, I think it captures a good portion of this awesome magic system while still being way less complex. It's probably a very good way to get players started and excited about building their own spells on the spot! I'll be curious to see how the next iterations evolve...

    WOIN Simplifying WOIN's magic rules for a starter kit

    I see some aspects are not just simplified but also different from Elements of Magic: the attribute MAGIC is replaced by POWER, the total MP pool is 5x POWER dice instead of 3x MAGIC dice, the max MP expenditure also considers skill dice (while in EOM it's only based on MAGIC iirc), and the...

    Level Up (A5E) How does A5e support high-level play?

    I think the challenging part is not the monsters, but the adventure/campaign design itself. At low/mid level the game can be quite straightforward, and a DM can limit itself to creating static dungeons and a few quests here and there. The tactical part of the game is mostly 2d exploration and...

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    That, and probably also the fact that there's no "feature creep": some kickstarters have stretch goals that require more and more design, and that's a thing that can make a bit uncertain the delivery time. These stretch goals, like the ones typical of ENP, shouldn't alter significantly the...

    Level Up (A5E) Monstrous Menagerie - Creature Creation - Spellcasting abilities impact

    I think spellcasting may not impact CR if the baseline CR is already relatively high: normally spellcasting costs one action, and high CR creatures may have standard attacks that are comparable to low/mid level spells. But for a low/mid CR creature, spellcasting can substantially increase the...

    Level Up (A5E) de-OGL-ifying Level Up?

    I'm no lawyer, but I'd hope one cannot "copyright" the mechanics of a 6d6 damage fire aoe spell, or of an invisibility spell.

    3PP Release (3rd Party Book Release) Paranormal Power: A Psionics Option for 5e and A5e, written by Steampunkette!

    This is quite normal, the funding rate tends to have a U shaped profile. Expect a significant rise in the last day or two ;)

    Level Up (A5E) de-OGL-ifying Level Up?

    I'll expand here what I wrote on another thread: I absolutely love LU, and I'm 100% certain that it will become the D&D system for me in the foreseeable future, so removing any threats for product viability or future expansion is probably a must, even by just considering how much effort was put...

    WOIN WOIN Switching to New Licence

    I really hope WOIN gets more support and new releases this year. It's a fantastic system, and as much as I love what you did with LU, I think WOIN has even more potential.

    Level Up (A5E) Planting Tower Shields

    Not very often, but I think LU is trying to make combat a bit more tactical, especially with positioning. I can totally see a group being surrounded by mobs and a bigger threat, with the tank facing the bigger threat by planting the shield while the other members protect his sides. Sure, but...
