The heist happened tonight. The party did a lot of scouting, first at a wedding, then by sneaking around on the roof, and by using magical disguises to make friends with some of the priests, and by speaking with animals to learn from the rats and birds that lived in and around the temple. Over...

I preferred PF1 paladins: Point at a guy. Say you're gonna take 'em down. Now your attacks get a bonus to hit and damage until that person goes down. (And you bypass any damage resistances they have.) The thing is, 5e lets you go from a sword dealing d8+4 to like 5d8+4. That's a pretty huge...

I think it's okay to just remind players out of character at any point of a session things you think their characters ought to know that might affect their choices. Good luck.

Good luck with your game. Please share whatever disasters occur!

When we published this adventure, I did not actually get a chance to play test it, and it wasn't until 2018 That I found an opportunity to use the Ursaliña section in a Pathfinder game, reskinned as a dark elf City where psychic monsters were causing trouble. And yeah, some of the players were...

Two years later, the Planestrider's Journal has a savant archetype linked to the Far Realm, the eldritch mentalist. A sample ability: Psychic Combat At 2nd level, you gain one of the following new savant tricks. Any savant can take these tricks. Ego Whip Flourish. When you hit a creature...

I basically designed the subclass for a friend of mine who likes making talk-y PCs who can win without having to beat people up. The challenge was making sure you still have stuff you can do when you're facing non-language-using foes, but hopefully the core savant chassis helps with that.

I ran a Pathfinder campaign with a party of four paladins, and I tried to make it a compelling analysis of what it even means to 'do good,' and how that interacts with prejudice and systems of oppression. Not every foe is a demon summoner; some are poor gnolls who just want to have access to the...

That might have been just something I added when we were working on a novel.

Torrent fades away after adventure 3, but can pop up in some of the big missions later on if you want to show that Seaquen has other fighters than just the party. She could help with party of the Scourge prison attack in adventure 8, liberating part of Gate Pass in 9, and fighting the final...

Hm. I wonder how hard it would be to convert my WOIN sci-fi horror adventure Waking Nightmares to work in Voidrunner's. There was a gimmick that made special use of the character creation system, which normally had you pick different careers that accumulated your abilities. Waking Nightmares...

Sorry. I never put in more time working on this. I had considered doing it with a group of mine that was briefly restarting WotBS, but we stopped after adventure 2 and did other stuff.

It's all good. Styles change, but you're okay if you prefer earlier looks. I recall a few people felt that the skull face black dragons and rhino blue dragons of 3e were too different. Often it's just people favoring well rendered art over simpler styles. .

It's a flying serpent with a full body wing, to provide enough lift. I love it.

I know classes are sacred cows, but I would love a version of D&D where there were a lot of mini careers, and you'd build characters by picking two different careers at each level. Each career would give you a little bit of this or that. Your typical fighter could be "tank + weapons" for the...

I'm friends with the guy Diogenes is based on. He is kinda shady.
