Not a complete concept by far, but I could totally live with the following: No racial ASI (these can either be relegated to class or given as free +x buff, player's choice) biological stuff stays biological and is tied to race. BUT it souldn't be a dealbreaker for any class. Stuff that's fine...

did Ottavia survive in your setting? Because she's hell of a candidate for a "new Clergy"

oooh really nice. I only did a short summary of the PG content in German for my husband for session zero. (not because he isn't fluent in english but rather because he's more lazy when it comes to reading that many pages and I'm much faster in writing down German text) our differences: we...

not like English didn't have a word for "you singular" in ye olden time: thou. Though it was used in the same personal manner its derivative "du" is used in German if I am correct. We theoretically got the same mixing in "you formal singular" "you formal plural" and "they plural". To which I'd...

Let me edit this for you... "Chris, the rogue, stealthily approached the campfire which was surrounded by ten lightly skinned men. The rogue had a Wand of Fireball, and they were willing to use it. Once Chris got into range, they used the wand, but it backfired, and the rogue died a fiery...

I always found the strength limitation to be singling out a single statistic real-life difference. No one thought about other obvious biological differences, like, changing your save vs. poison based on your body mass, or making several dex-based skills be penalized with increasing height, or...

You surely missed a lot of Eva's stuff in the 4e era. Please don't tell me that this isn't sexy ;)

Same in our groups. The last few male characters in my long-term group were all stunning and cared deeply about their looks. My own female bardbuckler was an otherwordly beauty as well, and that was a huge tie-in into the character's background. In my new groups, the only vain and pretty...

From our point of view, Nic is right about many issues regarding Lanjyr, it is his methods that are often wrong or simply ruthless and his decisions seem unwise or too impulsive at some points. really looking forward to that one scene in adventure 7 when this finally starts to surface :)...

Dark Omens So it seems as if it is time to pay the Crypta one more visit. We remember that our last visit required the weight of both Ottavia and her summoned celestial, so taking Margit and none else with us wouldn't be sufficient. And as Flying Spark is leaning towards the featherweight class...

Not wanting to spoil the most WTF-ery inducing events from our campaign, but: 91 Bring a goddess into your living room and ask her to please not wet the furniture as it they are ancient and most valuable 92 Have a chat with the Voice of Rot about your hypothetical living room 93 Without...

Not a native english speaker, so I typically read the text to myself to get an idea, then use said description in my own words. For NPC speech, I sometimes use a direct translation and sometimes I just try to get their mood and talk freely. As a player, what I do hate about boxed text is when...

what we do know is that women tended to be better nourished and much "beefier" during the hunter-gather periods than they were during the agricultural periods that followed after it.

I know that this is and has been a thing, but I would love to let it die in a fire. Because this practice is highly exclusive towards people with a family (worse: single parents...) or introverts or people who simply don't like hanging out in a bar. If you got business to discuss, this should...

Your last anecdote with the two clerics is exactly why I avoid save-or-die-by-1-dieroll effects like the plague in any d20 system. Because the chance of rolling a 1 is much too high for any reasonable (read: "realistic") probability even if you got a character who's basically immune. We've had...

Session 42 - through fire and ice We move to the ground level of the Dragon tower and find several giant runes carved into the ice. We examine them closely and understand that they were used for ancient meditation practices, but little more. Glad that we haven't accidentally stumbled into an...

I was talking more about the narrative gravitas of those items or titles. And some of their effects. Because thinking about the psychological impact of being immune to fear or being considererd a Titan or technically having a divine domain sense or just knowing everyone's name and origin... on...

Yep, unbalancing the party with giving boons to some and none to others can cause trouble even within good friends' partys. And also yep, the Rites, and, depending on the focus of your party, the title and narrative power that comes along with being Monarch can shake things up if you are not...

...they are not yet dead though ;) Even if it would be a funny side-story to have a "Rosencrantz and Güldenstern are dead" like parody of Zeitgeist told from the perspective of all the minor NPC. Also, this series needs its own Cabbage Guy.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why we as PCs were so adamantly against fiddling with the planar barrier. Sijhen and his crazy powers scared the sh*t out of us and we didn't want the Gidim to return with more like him. The formation of the hivemind in Cherage turned into one giant "told you so!"...
