    Artist hated my banner. We're writing new Contract stipulations that I can't do that to his work in the future. ;)

    3PP Release The Night of the Knife: A Campaign Quartet Adventure

    So the way the Inquisitor's healing works is: You make a melee weapon attack -or- the target fails their save against Sacred Flame. No other conditions or riders like flanking or surprise are required. You add your Castigation damage, ranging from 1d6 to 7d6, once per turn and add it to the...

    Roll for Effect or Intent?

    Combine that with Journeys and my Delving Activities and you've got the makings of a 3-Pillar system!

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    You can definitely tell that story. That story is a valid one. A story where the truth is revealed or even never known. But the Sorcerer Kings are monstrous slaveholding tyrants who use defiling magic. You don't need a pocket "Oh, also, they're EVIL!!!!111!!!eleven!!" reveal. A late game "Also...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    1: They did. 2: It should be as it makes them more notoriously evil. I recognize 2e Dark Sun was big on the "The populace doesn't know the truth!" bit, but come the hell on. It's much more poignant if adventurers know the monstrosity of the Sorcerer Kings and the public largely at least...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    A5e design base... but that's ultimately a 5e design structure. Because the classes are all new, they've got their own mechanics that conform to the core assumptions of 5e so it'll work for 5e14, 5e24, ToV, A5e, and so on.

    Hey, if you like my writing, pop on over to the Level Up/A5e forum and take a look at my most recent thread, there, for something fun on the way.

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    Enjoy your motte and bailey. But I ain't having it. Here you are, twice, saying that the setting would be "Apologizing" for just flatly stating that evil things are evil. In fact, in the second one you think the writer who writes about how evil things are evil SHOULDN'T WRITE. That's really...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    Slavery on Athas When the Sorcerer Kings conquered Athas with their terrible magics they eagerly took slaves of every people they could. Now, centuries later, the legacy of this vile system continues, as Sorcerer Kings, their currently favored merchants, and the Templars trade in flesh for...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    Ahhh, I see. You can't comprehend a book in which slavery is described as an evil that isn't an apology for having slavery in the setting. Interesting. But also a skill issue. And you don't want moral judgement passed on your "Less than Moral" characters... Again, Skissue. If you make a...

    D&D General D&D is now Steampunk (poll)

    Not only do I agree it should be pointed out, I pointed it out in the post you quoted. So I'm glad we agree!

    Is Lord of the Rings medieval fantasy? No. It's High Fantasy. Here, we can see Frodo wearing pretty standard Hobbit garb. Trousers that don't reach down to his large feet are a uniquely hobbitish invention. But above the waist he's wearing three pieces of clothing which bear four -INCREDIBLY...
