    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    I already mentioned skills in my first wish-list, but as someone who loves crunch and roleplay, please resist the urge to let the crunch (and maybe some fluffyutilitycrunch) be only all about combat. Heck, I loved 4e's combat complexity, but the edition was too lacking in the non-combat parts...

    ZEITGEIST Running the campaign for more than 6 players.

    This sounds like a sweet idea, especially if your players had fun with him in adventure 1. Asrabey had been an agent of the Unseen Court for 2 centuries if I remember that correctly, and they might be inclined to help combat the "dark forces on the witch hill". Which would later give them a bit...

    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    And you confuse all Germans learning English with this nonsense, as our Billion is 1.000.000.000.000 (and yes, we use points to separate the digits and commas for decimals.) on a second note, y'all won't have to bother with the 6' problem in metric :D

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    And this from the same guy who wrote a lesbian love triangle murder mystery back in 2007 :ROFLMAO: (A damn good one I'd add!) But from my perspective, the US playerbase then and now is still hard to grasp. My 2000's DSA/TBA groups always had at least two girls and don't get me started on our...

    Level Up (A5E) [+] What features should a "Advanced 5E" have?

    A meaningful skill system with modular customization and variable attributes as default. Maybe a bit like PF2 with their degrees of expertise. A class revamp/rebalancing (see "worst class" threads popping out every now and then) Feats baked into the core system, not as a replacement for ASI...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    The Lich in the Iceberg We then rest one day and return to Knütpara to meet the nameless Lich once more. We show him the Ring of Triegenes and explain that it will suffice to get him free from the divine ward and his icy prison. But we also insist that the Lich teaches us the soul swapping...

    ZEITGEIST Running the campaign for more than 6 players.

    Wow, this is really a lot of players. Respect for keeping them all busy with your campaign :) Now, if the number isn't generally the problem (as most of the campaign can and will be resolved by talking and investigating and making sure everyone has a spotlight can be tough), you can easily...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    The price of freedom Shortly after we break through the door the legionnaires kept shut, we understand why they'd done so as we're immediately being attacked by a pack of rabid hell hounds. We order Giovanni and the gang to stay in a safe distance. Then Auryn uses her Fey magic and her...

    WotBS Suggestions on entering the elven ghetto in module 1?

    yep, to be honest, the DCs were rather high for the 3.5 version in the first place (search DC 20, Gather info 15) and you had to get the elves that could give away info from unfriendly to non-elves to helpful to spill the beans on the Shahalesti spies. But yeah, the roleplay option should...

    Agents of Edgewatch Player's Guide: A Review

    Why should it be harder or come at a penalty though? HP are just an abstract concept anyway and we see plenty of "damage that's enough to KO people but doesn't kill" even with more lethal weapons like firearms in fiction. I mean, do whatever you want as a GM, but I see no reason to have "kill...

    Agents of Edgewatch Player's Guide: A Review

    It is fantasy in a setting that's on the brink of industrialization. You start off as sort-of FBI/CIA/special investigation agents per default (but can choose to be mere associates if you like). Regarding the criticism of playing as "the police": You're supposed to take prisoners and the rules...

    D&D 3.x Twenty Years On. Modern 3E?

    I alwas liked the 4e approach of two different abilities for each defense/save, and we used this as a houserule for PF1, even if we had STR/CON (Fort), DEX/INT (Ref), CHA/WIS (Will). I'm a bit unsure whether I prefer the "saves as defenses" and the "attacker always rolls to attack" method as it...

    Agents of Edgewatch Player's Guide: A Review

    sooo they basically took the premise of ZEITGEIST, limited it to one city and cut all the fun stuff? (like nonlinear development in the city adventure parts or the emphasis on consequences and creative PC freedom)

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    The blade of the maiden We walk down yet another strange corridor and reach an entrance to a room guarded by two soldiers clad in leaden sashes and jewelry. The two call themselves members of the leaden legion and we quickly put one and one together and conclude that these guys must have...

    WotC What anime franchises could be adapted into D&D?

    Yep, the world of Overlord could be easily adapted for D&D and also could be one where one could justify playing meta and using game-terms.

    ZEITGEIST Cretecal Heat adventures

    That sounds really nice! Especially love the connection of Mellisanthe to Sister Deliria. Regarding Elsyr... maybe replace Kasvarina's trusted aide Cula Ravjahani with her. Depends on the real timeline that you've planned for the siblings, but this would make Elsyr an Ob who'd fake her...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    The Architect We let everything we just witnessed sink in for a while before we continue to examine the Crypta and its content. We start with the five objects on display. The first one is a mere collection of judicial text and doesn't seem to harbor any more secrets. Still we believe that...
