    D&D 5E (2014) Fireguns, pistols, musket... A question of balance.

    Okay first off early firearms implementation always comes with a few headaches for both players and the GM so you can use the 5e rules RAW with a few tweaks to the system based upon the era type of the intended firearms.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_firearm is good to give you...

    Wanted Supplement PDF's

    Well finally found the old site through the Wayback Machine of the old Wizards page, a vintage 2008, for the D20 Modern and its subsidiaries pages... snagging pretty much everything. Anything beyond then is like the proverbial Dodo bird... extinct!

    CORELINE (D20 Modern/D20 BESM Setting).

    Space Station... Why not A Dyson Sphere @Lord Zack instead of a generic space station like seen in the Battlestar Galatica 2003 series the Botanical Explorer why not make it a Dyson Sphere that appears in a Lagrange Point or in the Asteroid Belt and begins broadcasting a signal for the party...

    Mecha Armor Thoughts...

    So I always enjoyed the one random GM who would use the http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Breaking_and_Entering_(Rules) of the Substance Hardness and Hit Points whenever our group had to bust through an obstacle to proceed onward. Looking through my doc folder I came across my old notes in...

    Energy Weapons Houserules

    http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/MSRD:Future_Equipment#Plasma_Weapons gives the player the standard two weapons for player but my thoughts are as follows. 1: Allow the addition of one to three d6 to denote the effects of Acid/Fire damage upon a successful hit to the target. 2: What are your...

    Energy Weapons Houserules

    Laser Weapons http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/MSRD:Future_Equipment#Laser_Weapons gives the player the standard three models for players use but my thoughts were as follows. 1: Allow the addition of one d6 dice to denote the fire/heat damage upon a successful hit on the target. 2: What are your...

    Energy Weapons Houserules

    Okay so for any player of the classic Future or variants like in Pathfinder you get Energy Weapons accessible for the players. This will be a place to compile my thoughts of a wandering mind on the subject and does anyone have Houserules regarding Energy weapons.

    D&D 5E (2014) Published war-themed adventures?

    Dimitri Mazieres you could always use the age old "Congratulations you've just been conscripted into the King's Army". I remember a friend who used this. You could also just have the town/city where the players are currently at come under siege by an enemy army... do they flee trying to...

    Dice Questions?

    Random Hit Die Okay so awhile back I found these neat looking Random Hit Die that I think were d6 maybe d8 or d12 and each side of the die had either a little image or wording for Head, Chest, Arms, and Legs. I think they may have been for a zombie style game but I have found the d12 28mm on...

    Alternate Travel Encounter System

    I remember in one session the DM had us guarding a caravan between towns for a small purse of coins but unbeknownst to us the illegitimate daughter of the recently deceased local nobleman was being targeted by the wife so she could claim the lands and whatnot citing her own bastard child was the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Science Fantasy and D&D

    I know one campaign I played in the players started out in a post-apocalyptic world where several sections like the old overgrown mega-cities we no go zones due to old derelict technologies still being active. We had the Wasteland Born, Vault Bunker Descendants, and two variants of COG...

    D&D 5E (2014) Random Encounter - River

    Don't Rock the Boat... As my title suggests the party's vessels has hit or been struck by something underwater and must make a Balance/acrobatics check to avoid being knocked to the deck rolling a 1d8 for the direction that they fall. If a player is near the railing then they could possibly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Random Encounter - River

    @pemerton add in some modified spiders, scorpions, or even enlarged crustaceans i.e. crabs/lobsters hiding underneath all that sand of your islet/sandbar and oh no the party is caught flat-footed while going ashore for the night... though if they survive the crustaceans they could have some good...

    Does Your Group Allow Homebrew or 3PP Material for D&D Games?

    Ilbranteloth I agree that Homebrew and houserules often fills the gap that as a DM and player I feel makes the game better and easier to play... for example heralding back to D20 Modern there were no rules for belt-fed chain-linked machine guns like the say the M2HB so I came up with a few using...

    D&D 5E (2014) Random Encounter - River

    For your savage halfling tribes may I suggest the ubiquitous blowgun loaded with little barbed darts laced with your choice of poison or disease. You could even have the party come under fire of twenty or so of them as they approach another derelict river vessel that has been beached upon the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted Combat

    Heralding back to my 3.5e days whenever we had mounted combat the players controlled the direction of our mounts. Only when we were dismounted did the animal follow one of two actions it stayed close by or we directed it away from the combat zone. @MiraMels I agree with your post as animals...
