I hadn't considered time for actions. Hm, I'm not sure how to fit that into this idea, unless it's like, spend an action this turn to get a Charge, then spend the Charge next turn?

Can I ask you a random game design question? I am brainstorming a beat em up video game style fighting system. Think Double Dragon or Streets of Rage. As opposed to the normal RPG combat which has you declaring an action, rolling a die to see if you succeed, and then having the result, here...

I also really liked God of War, though looking back, I do think that there were some gameplay choices that were a little repetitive for the side quests. But the main plot and especially the character arc for the lead is really great. The music is awesome too. I'm actually playing ghost right...

Kasvarina and Gradiax decide after the adventure path ends to become time travelers.

This must've been something added in the 4e version. I don't recall them in the 3e version.

I'll message you, and can share the first couple chapters. If you like those enough to keep reading, great, but please feel no obligation if it's not to your taste.

It depends on the game and GM. Some GMs ask for more because they want to weave the characters' history in. Others are just doing action, and the present day is what matters. If I were in a Game of Thrones game, lots of backstory. If I were in a Walking Dead game, not so much. Probably the...

By the way, if anyone wants to read a Bronze Age fantasy novel and offer feedback, let me know.

Yeah, I still get this: It is the same in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Morrus?

I'm not sure if it's useful for you, but in EN Publishing's Adventures in ZEITGEIST, we have the Gadgeteer, a fighter subclass that gets limited use gadgets. The idea was to make Batman, basically. https://a5e.tools/node/3726

I don't think I agree with that. For Andor to land right, you need to show the banality of the bureaucratic side of the evil empire, and show how normal it seems to so many people, rather than everything being high stakes and high speed. It grinds down people's will to resist. But then amid...

All the cells in your body get replaced every 7 years (or so goes the myth). So he's not the same man who killed the younglings? :D So far my take is that it needs tighter editing. There's too much time wasted repeating exposition to new characters, or splitting up conversations into two or...

Inspiration from Ghost of Tsushima Legends: Paired blood-sucking undead which cannot die unless both are disabled, and damage one undead does heals its twin. Monsters with odd taboos, like legless ravenous undead trailing their entrails behind them as they scamper about on their hands, who...

A priest whose friend committed suicide is distraught, and makes a commandment meant to stabilize the health of anyone who injures themselves. It only could only be applied to a single person at a time, but a priest could link it to someone he feared might harm themselves, to protect them...

One starting place is "stuff a bronze age society would want to disappear. So swarms, certainly. Maybe a lot of unclean water and waste, ew. Rocks surrounding precious ores. Also I'd expect a lot of undead from people who went missing and starved in the Consequence.

TL;DR - in a bronze age city-state, sometimes poorly worded magic spells 'glitch' and shunt nearby people and objects into a demiplane of loosely linked motes of reality. What sorts of weird stuff could the party find in there. (This thread is loosely linked to an earlier one: D&D General -...

I was in Tokyo last November and actually found one of three theaters in the city with English subtitles. It was only me, my wife, and one other guy in the theater. But I loved it. I have a friend here in the states who watched in last week, but she's not a Japanophile, and she watched the...
