    No "New Year" sale at drivethrurpg?

    Earlier today, I realized that drivethrurpg did not have a "New Year, new game" or "New Year, teach kids a game" (or whatever the titles have been the for such a sale the past few years). Is anyone else surprised by the lack of a "New Year" game sale?

    D&D 5E (2024) Should shields, like Simple weapons be available to all characters?

    Not exactly a shield, but I still recall holding a huge foam kicking pad for my martial arts instructor. Didn't know what I was doing and braced myself with the pad in front of me and my body turned sideways thinking the pad would absorb the kick and leave me protected. In addition to driving me...

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    I did this not only for multi-classing, but also for PrCs. I told players, as a general rule, not to plan out multi-classing builds or PrCs other than for theoretical exercises as they never knew where their characters would be in the world at any given time.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Personally, I changed all of the 2+Int classes that were not Int based to 4+Int and kept the x4 at first level.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Actually, I believe that wrote Toughness was good for a low level one-shot or the elf wizard with low hit points due to con penalty (or was it that elf wizard in a low level one-shot?) and the problem was that they did not tell that to players.

    Marvels Multiverse RPG: Have You GM/Played It and Your Opinions

    Correct, there are several superhero games that have a supplement devoted to expanding the list of powers (by adding new powers and/or showing how to build new powers with existing powers and modifiers) and having all of the powers in one place. Off the top of my head are the following: Bash...

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    My first campaign rule for 3e was capping the level at 12. I also would slow leveling at levels 6th-10th and further at levels 11 and 12.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    As a DM, I always treated PrCs as optional. I determined which (if any) fit the cultures and/or organizations of the campaign I was running. However, first I would try to find new classes and/or UA style class variants before resorting to prestige classes.

    Aren't Krakens in 5e linked to the Kraken Society and isn't the Kraken Society FR lore?

    Pathfinder 2E A quick question about making changes to the Witch and one question for the Cleric

    Hi all, I have a couple of questions: 1. If I wanted to change the Witch's key ability to Wisdom and change the class to a non-prepared castered, would that affect balance? If so what other changes might I need to make to balance the class? 2. Are there any optional replacements for the...

    Holiday Sales 2023

    I was going to buy MM from Amazon and take advantage of sale, but Amazon didn't have Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. I also went to Target as they had similar sale, but also did not have latter two books.
