I am not quite sure how to exactly handle a situation in an upcoming game. It could be very cut and dry, but it has the potential to be more interesting, and I want to inject a possible social challenge. The campaign involves the PCs stuck inside a big underground dungeon that's been sucked...

Fate Accelorated DREAD Final Girls Everyone is John

What I meant in terms of navigation is like, you have a stairwell that has one big staircase that goes from bottom to top. Even if the door you want is locked, you can skip multiple levels. As opposed to most dungeons where the stairs up and down are often located in different locations, because...

I just mean that the blueprint is more for my conceptualization. :) That and the how/why of the place, it seems immensely huge of an undertaking. For the record, the PCs will actually be waking up in a surgical area in the Weapons sector. They were being experimented on when the Accident...

I've been hit with some inspiration and I want to try to run a particular campaign, but I'm not quite sure how to get the square peg into the round hole that is my brain. The inspiration for the game's start is Half-Life. For those who haven't played it, scientists at a top-secret research...

There are other fun things. So, I'll talk about a few series that I read. These aren't spoilers because it's made clear after like, chapter 2. Dungeon Lord: In this series, a guy from the normal RL world is taken into an MMO. It turns out the MMO is a separate world. The players logging in...

(Warning: I have not read the last 13 pages) "EVIL" gods always struck me as a little...mm, too overt. I guess it's more the inevitable nature of an alignment system. But I would think, if we were looking at pantheons from RL, that gods have different aspects which are evil or good or neutral...

4e has some issues that many have complained about. That 1) It's "video gamey". 2) The game is heavily tactical combat focused, but has next to nothing in terms of out-of-combat mechanics or utility or story. While laying in bed I realized a way to actually utilize these as part of the...

Oh goodness no. All my 4e books are in storage more or less. But if I recall, all dragons' breath weapons are on a recharge mechanic, and most solos have it as well.

I'm reminded of Eberron, which had planes coming into overlap in various places at various times, tied to the rotation of the planets. So I could even see that being part of extra-planar migration and just one more type of season. "Och, getting that time every three years for the Fire Plane to...

I could have sworn the Pathfinder jungle AP, the "Scales" one, had opposing adventuring groups. One thing that comes to mind is that if the PCs are competing against another group, there needs ot be a few things: 1. The players need to have a sense of how far along the opposition is. It's a...

So I added a bunch of stuff. Balance notes Purifying Flame/Hammer of Conviction: I had trouble deciding which would be the area effect and which would be the single target. Purifying Flame is sort of weaker against anything without resistances, but for both of these, I wanted powers that...

What level magical item is a mecha?

I think it's a matter of size. A mouse armed with a sword the size of a q-tip could puncture one of your arteries, and you'd have a good chance to die. That said, the attack would need to be perfect, so it's incredibly unlikely. After a certain point, something the size of Godzilla is no...

Added Brightening Star, Shared Sacrifice and Shining Cage of Purgatory. Shared Sacrifice: I am really tempted to give this as a class ability, as it fits the theme so well, and they are lacking otherwise. Shining Cage of Purgatory: I was thinking of making this a burst 3, so that multiple...

Nice. I was pondering a daily that would basically lock the two into a struggle of wills, where the Exorcist has to sustain a standard to make an attack, and if it continues, the target has to also hit the Exorcist with the same attack in order to do anything. That feels strong, but I want a...

So I've always had this class kicking around in the back of my mind, but couldn't get it out of my head today and decided to just throw some words at a page. My 4e books are in storage so all I had to go on was looking at a few Warlock powers as balance, so it looks rough. The concept is a...

Oh sure, your way is fine, and it turned out great (love the boo'd to death). Like you said though, this thread isn't just for you, as it might inspire someone else along the way. :)

Because: Once the succubus starts layering in the mind controls, you're going to be her puppet. The lies she tells the character are going to be believed, hook line and sinker. "That performer is whispering against you. Your girlfriend is seeing someone else. The crowds are bigger at your...

Unfortunately I am not. :) Thanks for the write up.
