I can certainly do 1, 3 and 4. I suspect 2 is out of my price range, barring a kickstarter or similar.

Yes that book is quite amazing I think.

thanks folks some great ideas and I have added them to my list

What "GM improvisation aids" would you like to see in a 5e medieval "sandbox" setting book ?

The biggest enabler of player instigated adventures, ime, is the system. You need a fast, easily improvisable system that can handle random encounters and frequent side treks and surprises from the players and the world. If the system is too complex or inflexible, you end up running DM driven...

Thanks for the shout out Sean, appreciate it! :)

Some recent Low Fantasy Gaming RPG shout outs, and a new review :D Sean's Pick of the Day (mention at the bottom!) - http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?3614-Sean-s-Pick-of-the-Day-(111116)-The-Void#.WCZuecnkcu8 Shout out from Lloyd of Gamebooks...

Thanks very much for taking the time to comment Fuindordm, I appreciate it, and I'm glad to liked the common phrases. In play I feel like some kind of suggested catchphrase or throwaway line often helps with the roleplaying/reinforce the theme. In this setting I will probably use something like...

This does tend to result in death spirals though - ala Shadowrun. I mean I liked SR combat generally, it is quite deadly. But it does make things hard to turn around once you are significantly wounded (which if you're looking for more realism is good).

You might consider Low Fantasy Gaming damage mechanic - hit points, but at zero make an "all dead or mostly dead" check after the battle ends and the body can be recovered. If save, alive but roll on the Injuries & Setbacks table (which linger, albeit 17+ just a scar), if fail = dead.

Ah yes I did think about that, but I just love those particular names! But I shall certainly think on that further, see if I can come up with some cool derivatives. Thanks for your feedback Jhaelen! Edit - I was surprised how many FR gods have real world references - tyr, tempus, tiamat, oghma etc

Hi all, I am writing a "sandbox setting" and am hoping for a bit of feedback on the following draft pantheon for a low magic world... This would be for the "western medieval" or "ancient" type culture in the middle of the region map. Note the existence of the gods would be subject to...

Free mini adventure - Old Bengart's Mill. Enjoy! https://plus.google.com/113391225222048780305/posts/dk8NjTZrtSZ

Yeah for me most important is real time - less than 1/2 hr is perfect. That could be 3 rounds, or 10 rounsd, doesnt matter. Unfortunately 5e combat is often much longer than this, more like 1 hr. Which is doable. Just not as enjoyable, and hinders other aspects of the game, like improv side...

Yes I really like this size actually. A few weeks hard travel to cross seems like a good size to me.

So you cant play a wizard, sorcerer, druid etc from 5e PHB?
