    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Good riddance to bad rubbish! I hope the spectre of his failure follows him for the rest of his days and he comes to understand that being a grifter playing on bigotry and hatred for an economic boost is really nonviable.

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

    The intention, there, was to expend your focus when you activate the power or effect that requires it. For example, Suspend Animation allows you to take a "Special Reaction" when you hit 0 to expend your focus and trigger the Noetic. Though it is true that Body Manipulation requires...

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    I am not labeling you or other potential Fans as bullies, bigots, or trolls. That's twisting my words dramatically. I'm saying there's enough of a bully/bigot/troll market to make it profitable.

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

    There's probably some mechanics from the Book of Vile Darkness for 3.5 you could adapt to make a 5e Archetype?

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    Depends on how big "Big Enough" is. But probably, yes. There's a lot of people that would embrace something like this specifically with the intent of making other people upset, or angry, or hurt. Simply because it pleases them to inflict that kind of harm. Makes them feel like they have power...

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    Ahh, Deathstalker. Where sexual assault replaces handshakes and sexually assaulting a guy who got turned into a woman is played for laughs. One of the franchises I wish had remained relegated to the dustbin of history... but here we are.

    Level Up (A5E) Announcing A5Evening: An All Party Round Up (an A5e Youtube 'news' show)

    Just finished recording with A5evening a few minutes ago! It was fun,m and there were some laughs, but mostly I hope it's informative!

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    So something like... Dragonlands Dweller The Dragonlands is a broad term to describe the desolation many dragons leave behind in their former hunting grounds before they move on. But these lands are often occupied by those the dragon leaves behind. Dragonborn, kobolds, and other dragon-blooded...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Brundisi An age and an age ago, the great bronze dragon Milgryandixac founded a nation known as Brundisium in the seaside cliffs of Ahwalo. Brundisium began as a city-state devoted to Milgryandixac, a place of great wealth and amassed fortunes, in truth what he sought to hoard was family, and...

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    Inspired by Otyugh? Possibly! Actual Otyugh? Not a snowball's chance. WotC is terrified of large sized PCs on a conceptual level.

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    Well! We could look to Lovecraftian mythos for a new abberation-heritage design? I think it's safe to say Cthulhu and the Illithid he spawned are clearly off-limits to avoid any kind of imminent lawsuit from WotC. The other big ones from the "Great Old Ones" range are Hastur and Yig. Yig is...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    They're so easy to make, people should just -do it-! Cultures are so incredibly easy to go bespoke on, too.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Something like... Ghosts of the Wildlands Culture: Your people hide in the old growth forests furthest from civilized lands. Discreet and careful, your people have long excised themselves from the cities and villages near to lakes and coastlines, and have learned to live in harmony with nature...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Currently, sure. And you're not likely to ever see "Ghostwise Halfling" culture because the law suit would be immediate and overwhelming! But if enough people want it you might see a "Serial Numbers Filed Off" version that fits better in a GPG article or something similar.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Psion+++++thread

    Eh... You can have 300+ spells and still have Psions feel different in their own way. You just need to create a different mechanical structure for the use of powers, rather than just making them "More Spells" or "Borrow Spells from Wizard and call it powers" The Esper did not take me two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    Everything I do is an A5e product with 5e compatibility. Though this one might lean a little more 5e-ward with the whole core class restructure thing. Though this one would -probably- break it, since I'd be giving Bards more than 3 Archetype Abilities. I guess I'd probably have to redo all the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    Also looking at giving the Bard, Warlock, and Wizard "Revivify but Weird". Wizards get it -late- and catch a gem in a gemstone they can put into a construct. Warlocks get it early and it just straight up makes you undead. And then Bards get to do an epic song and drag their Chorus of friends...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    You're limited in how many long rests you can take in a day, however. So the DM's answer should be "No." Or, better yet "You don't have time because things are still happening!"

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    I went with the noetic "Limit Break" You expended your Psychic Focus (a strong ability for retaining Psi Dice) to temporarily gain two small (1d4) psi dice. You could then use them to augment powers as you like, but your Psychic Focus was expended until you took a short rest to recover it, and...
