    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Oh, I thought they presented the evidence that he was a nazi in the initial response, which is what Lanasa's lawyer was referring to when he said "They provided links that the court would have to waste hours looking over"? Less "New Evidence" more "Presenting the evidence from the case as to...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I wish the lawyer for Stein said "He did employ a nazi at the time. As evidenced by that employee's many public posts espousing nazi ideology and expressing support for nazis and their beliefs. You can find a collected number of them posts at the website, here." And then just provided it.

    D&D General Sci-Fantasy Setting Thought

    I did not know about Tale of the Comet, actually... neat! And yeah, it can be unbalanced if you don't balance it. Which is what a lot of people do with techy stuff from gunpowder on up... But I'm not one of them! So far as I'm concerned a pistol is just another one handed ranged weapon. So a...

    D&D General Sci-Fantasy Setting Thought

    Missed the part where I explicitly referenced not only Skeletor, but the similarity between him and the Dark Lord in the setting both being disfigured by their own attempts at claiming ultimate power? ;) And yes. Thundarr, Herculoids, some Thundercats in there. Maybe even a bit of Galtar and...

    D&D General Sci-Fantasy Setting Thought

    So... for silliness's sake and background: My spouse and I play City of Heroes. And we decided to watch the 1983 film Krull in-character with our superhero characters. We streamed the movie onto our computers in separate rooms and watched while typing in-game to each other in character. Out...

    Level Up (A5E) Martial Artistry (3pp book in the works) Ideas and Concepts

    Just casually adding more material to Martial Artistry while I wait on art... Spell-Less "Martial Herald" "Tactical Ranger" "Thug Rogue" 10 more Martial Knacks for any class...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I think it's super cute that you mistook the website name for a designer! GM Binder provides the same sort of 5e Style Guide Template that a lot of 3pp and Homebrewers use as the Homebrewery. As far as LaserLlama: Really solid designer. Not exactly my cup of tea in the Psionic or Gish class...

    D&D Movie/TV Netflix Planning Forgotten Realms D&D TV Show With Stranger Things Producer

    Levy does really good work as both EP and director, so I'm interested. And it's not like Levine is some kind of slouch, either... I'm tentatively excited.

    D&D 5E (2024) Urban Fantasy via D&D 2024

    Sincere suggestion: Make guns really simple and deal damage similar to the melee weapons and ranged weapons that exist rather than trying to go for exorbitant damage values or touch AC or whatever. Light pistol suitable for dual-wielding at range, 1d4. Heavy pistol not suitable for...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I also used Thymokinesis in Paranormal Power as a catch-all "Bucket" of elemental psionic abilities and tied them to emotions, because that's what we tend to see in media relating to various powers. Firestarter is a great example, as is Carrie for the same reason. But so is Elsa from Frozen...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    A5e's Psionic Powers do not map directly to spell levels. https://a5e.tools/node/3970 This Power Level 5 power transports you, and everyone inside a vehicle with you, to any place on the same planet. Or if you're in orbit, sends you and the spaceship and everyone in the spaceship instantly to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    On the one hand... yes. Designers want people to use our stuff. On the other hand, you can make something that isn't "Spellcasting, but call it Psionics" and have it be friendly to casually invested DMs. And, let's be honest, if WotC wanted the "Psionics are just Spells" character class they'd...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    ... I mean... That's all really easy to do inside one class. 1) Different powers (Xavier is more of a Telepath than a Telekineticist like Yoda) 2) Archetypes (Tentacle-Mind Cultist is just a specific flavor of Psionics)

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I'm getting the feeling, Paul, that you don't want to be convinced and have no real interest in being shown why anyone else likes Psionics, either. So I have to ask: What's the point?

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    How old do you think I am, exactly? Dan Dillion is in his 30s. Elisa Teague is bordering on 40. F. Wesley Schneider is 46. Ben Petrisor is 37. These are the people who designed Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and wrote about Psionics in 5e. Do you think everyone who does game design for TTRPGs...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    The people who like "Psionics" as a name. Whether because we grew up with it or find it fun or just vibe with it. Which includes just -so- many 5e players, narrators, and designers. As I said, before: It gets explained every time it comes up. Just as magic gets explained in the PHB. Even...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    Why not use Biffle, instead? Or Psy-Power? Or The Schwartz? 'Cause we like this word and the history of it. Which is why the Psi-Knight and Soulknife archetypes get "Psionic Power" at level 3. If your opposition is entirely based on the particular nomenclature of Psionics rather than Psychic...

    D&D 5E (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    Hey, remember how I showed you the cover of that book I wrote? That was my first book. Only had 68 pages, half the size of a more traditional release. It was also my first Kickstarter. No one had a damned clue who I was or am. I'm such a tiny insignificant nothing of a content creator in the...
