Yeah that was what I was worried might be the case, but hopefully they come through this not “owning a Nazi bar”, as it were. Free League has a good rep for a reason. I will have to check them out. Sorry, possible misunderstanding. See, I understand the mechanic and its purpose. Understanding...

I’ll check it out, thanks! I’m curious about Dolmenwood, and I think that with chargen houserules I could enjoy Shadowdark. Yeah sensible math and some customization at CharGen are important to me, so I’m glad to see that OSE has advanced rules that hit those marks. Dragonsbane I’m unfamiliar...

I was curious about DCC. I don’t have the patience as someone who never played pre-2e D&D to pick that up but DCC seems a good way to experience old school play without the mechanical oddities of OD&D. Anyone know a good alternative that is fun and not owned by a company I’ll feel guilty for...

I know that’s right! Hah! And the bad actors love to blame everyone who reacts negatively to their bad faith actions and words for the toxicity. Of course. It would be lovely to be able to celebrate all the people and products that helped build the foundation of our hobby without celebrating...

lol yeah. Currently the character sheet has room for a list of traits but half the front page is the skill list. Page 2 is for background and contacts and such, and then details of traits are 3+, with printable extra pages for techniques in case a character has a long list. I do think that I...

I have run into a very thorny question as I iterate on my game, Crossroads. What to do with spells. The question, here, is should the game include ready-made Techniques at all? Currently spells can be gained as traits or improvised as skill checks or as complex rituals requiring multiple...

I said die size, not number of dice.

I have built a class named Slayer, which is part assassin and part ranger, but I wonder if the “guardian” part of the ranger is fit to be a whole class. The Warden was a 4e class, a primal defender. I wonder if the basic mechanic of the Hollow Warden could be turned into a core class mechanic...

DA2 is IMO the best written story of the franchise. The gameplay is more like Inquisition than it is like DA:O, which disappointed me the first time I played, but grew on me over time. With cosmetic mods, it holds up surprisingly well to this day. in terms of mods it is not quite as open as...

In terms of worldbuilding principles and goals, It serves some additional practical purposes, as well. First, “The City” as it is often called serves as the trade capital and crown jewel of the Commonwealth, though not its actual political capital, which is absurdly placed in my home town of...

When I thought of Nea Thera it was initially in the context of imagining Bridge Town, as a place shrouded in humid darkness roofed by the infrastructural roots of a grand glittering jewel of a city above. A place home to forgotten people slowly being changed by the thaumotalogical waste energy...

I guess I didn’t actually explain the thoughts on worldbuilding underpinning the setting I describe lol

So, perhaps the Druid is a better wizard to compare, though even the Druid has more blasting than I’d give the witch. The witch i might make better at rituals by way of a curated list of spells that gain the ritual tag. The wizard is as powerful as it is because of its spell list, primarily...

Private spacecraft in a magitech future. Many people own orbital craft, as technology has made great advancements in aeronautics and propulsion in general. Less common but growing in number are private merchant vessels moving goods under contract between Earth and her orbital cities and slowing...

Those streets are, if you don’t look too much past your close environs, much like the streets of any other city, with whole neighborhoods, market districts, entertainment districts, and large city parks, nestled atop platforms that never take up more than 1/8 of the circle of the city, and are...

I have in my home setting a city called Nea Thera, which is constructed on a small chain of islands in the Mediterranean Sea, in the near future if a version of our world where the 2020s - 2030’s see the revelation of The Hidden Folk, those people who are not human and whose existence is...

Thanks! I was thinking Primal, actually. That’s where nature spirits live, and it isn’t a stretch to also include spirits of life and death, etc. And it sits well with them worshipping goddesses like Meiliki and Sehanine, which feels right to me. Probably d6 and light armor only. Its primary...

+ thread. Please don’t tell me to make it with an existing class or anything like that. If I’m making a thread, the basic premise of it isn’t something I’m willing to debate. So, in making a witch class I want: Full casting, with advanced ritual casting. Even better than Wizard at rituals...

An ideal, perhaps? Take Freedom and make it a title for a person, and you have The Free. The Free, The Discuplined, The Just, The Stalwart, The Faithful, The Clever, etc

Better off just using a rapier and scimitar if you’re taking the dual wielder feat, and max Dex rather than trying to MAD just for one attack out of four or more. I personally relfavor the scimitar as a long dagger when doing so because the mental image of a rapier and scimitar is just weird...
