Gold for XP and milestone levelling after completing predefined goals set by the DM and the players. 1 Gold equals 2 XP

At this point do we even need new WotC products? I’m still having a great time with my PHB, and there’s enough non-WotC content out there to keep me playing for years.

Alternatively you could just not add the bonus. Makes for a much more high risk game.

Just want to say to all the grognards out there: Thank you for your service.

I’m currently using 4D6, drop lowest, in order of stats, nothing lower than a 6. And it’s been great to see how creative my players get when presented with a 7 in constitution.

What kind of tables are being used to generate this kind of backstory?

I use a homebrew version of lifestyle expenses in the dungeon crawl campaign I’m currently running. The cost of each lifestyle is not just about food and lodging, but also about gear maintenance and resupply. Wretched to poor covers basically gear maintenance and there is a chance of something...

I want this so bad

I am currently running Barrowmaze with some homebrew rules. The biggest change I believe I made to make the game about the dungeon and exploring it worth while, was gold for xp. Without that change I don’t think my players interest would be sustained. But I do think using RAW, you can have a...

All you need to run the game is the Players Handbook and a few other weirdos.

Gotcha. Apologies for misunderstanding. There’s an order of monks (people who live in monasteries, pray to a god, take vows, make gnarly beer), that take orphans (possible connection to Kvothe’s backstory), and raise them to be bounty hunters and lawmen. They are trained to be exceptional...

I’m confused as to why you are building this character. Let the player figure it out. Have them come up with a reason there’d be a monk in the setting and how the character is like Kvothe. Collaborate with them if/when needed.

At work, those of us who play only talk about it in hushed tones in dark corners of our office. From these shadows I’ve pulled in more and more unsuspecting victims to the game.

Where do I sign up for this?

@Snarf Zagyg you’ve put into words what has been bouncing around my head the last few weeks. So I thank you and wish to add my two cents (Canadian cents so it’s cheap). 5E, in spite of all its subclasses, feats, and options, is at its heart a toolkit for playing a fantasy TTRPG. Use as much or...

Critical hits are fun. Probability be damned.

Lo-Kag Smash: A barbarians guide to crushing your enemies A monster lore book with martial options.

Yes physically, because of the amount of Fireball shots I took, but never mentally/emotionally.

Gotta play it fast and loose. I generally only have 2.5 hours to play, so if I need to change something to speed things along I will. The other night was combat heavy and I felt we didn’t need to play out the party beating the crap out of the last skeleton. So I said everyone roll to attack and...

Mobs of Minions Each mob starts with a +5 to hit and +5 to damage. The amount of minions in the mob is abstract, but each time the mob takes any damage, it’s bonuses to hit and damage are reduced by 1. The mob dies when reduced to +0. Couple this with a big bad and the PC’s will find out very...
