    Is there life on Maaaaaaars! (er, Venus)

    Ah yep, just looked it up :) This is intriguing indeed

    Is there life on Maaaaaaars! (er, Venus)

    Question is... does that level of phosphine require the microbes to be still existent today? Maybe they existed back in the days and Venus was a more habitable planet for microbial life in these times? I mean, life on earth neraly extinguished itself when these cyano-algae started exhaling...

    WotBS Song of Forms influences?

    yah, no, 100+ is probably over the top. If I were to design a really long-lived elf people, I'd let them physically mature slower than humans, orcs and halflings (half the rate?) and let them reach adulthood at 40-60. Which would be the mental equivalent of a 30-something human. Because...

    WotBS Song of Forms influences?

    Yeah, there was :D It is quite good IMO. Even though the idea that Shalosha might be a 20-something elf creeps me out. (She was 100+ in my campaign)

    WotBS Artwork of Castle Korstull

    FOR THE HONOR OF KORSTULL! No seriously, why haven't I thought of this before? Also, the "Ragesian Castle" picture from the art page might work. It is fiery enough.

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #1: Origins

    Totally depends on the campaign. In my campaigns (both as player and DM), my PCs are really rarely downed, and if they are, their teammates will heal/stabilize them in a round. In a gritty campaign, both traits can be really useful, especially Radical Perseverance. F&F is really niche and not...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    Uhm, at the risk of getting some flak from the "guns have to be special" lovers out there... Why don't you simply reskin crossbows for the gun rules? I know, PF2 puts a lot of effort into different weapon groups and their effects, but if it is specific gun rules that keep you from converting it...

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #1: Origins

    Oh, I didn't mean to say that telepathy is overpowered. I wanted to use it as an example of an ability that's almost universally useful and compare that to the seemingly lackluster abilities of humans. Because I've never been in a situation where being able to travel a bit more than twice the...

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #1: Origins

    Not if you play in a more thematic campaign and have everyone take it. We finished a campaign earlier this year and one character had two-way telepathy. We focused heavily on stealth and espionage, where it is pure gold. Plus using it for potent intimidation is always an option... just think...

    Fair enough :) that's why I pointed it out, because this is one of the cultures that I'd houserule immediately to be more open in terms of options.

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #1: Origins

    I skimmed through the human section and thought that they were pretty weak and lackluster compared to the other heritages. The reason why humans are a trong choice in 5e is because they either provide more ability boni than other heritages or because you get an extra feat and skill. And then...

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #1: Origins

    Yeah, but can you teach something you don't know? Like... the same dragon can teach both wizard AND cleric cantrips but nothing else? Wouldn't this imply that there are no sorcerer dragons that can teach their "children" how to use their inner magic? Also, if teaching implies INT then why would...

    Also only read Dragonborn so far and I stumbled across: Dragonbound Teachings. You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard or cleric spell lists. Intelligence or Wisdom (your choice) is your spellcasting ability for it. Umm... wouldn't Dragons be naturally inclined to be sorcerers...

    ZEITGEIST cross-planetary influence?

    huh and I thought the spheres/worlds only had effects on the world(s) they are bound to via ritual... or maybe on the planet they orbited as a moon.

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    I do believe it is far more flattering to him than the dude on reddit who thought Zeitgeist was inspired by Jordan Peterson's philosophies. ;) Again, small thoughts, but I do think that the very nature of the interconnectedness of the ZG plot (in contrast to the WotBS one, which I found to be...

    Don't have the time to write a longer essay right now, but I wholeheartedly agree from a player's perspective. We also desperately wanted to make peace and tried to opt for a compromise. Especially as we got the evidence on our side (Stanfield...) and got some fricken awesome social skills...

    The conference talks, day one He stands a midst the crowd and states that he is charged with the sad task to inform us about the premature demise of Ramos Zoltan, who had been murdered by what must be an agent trying to sabotage the grand convocation. Still, he's quite sure that the culprit...

    Level Up (A5E) Improving spells

    Could not agree more. The main differences between a digital DB and a printed list are 1) customizability and 2) the elimination of a need for a hierarchy. We've had some discussion on how to sort spells... whether class should be the uppermost level of category, or spell level, or maybe even...

    Do you prefer your character to be connected or unconnected to the adventure hook?

    I prefer that my character is tied to the overall campaign and not just some random gal who could easily be replaced with a random NPC. Doesn't mean that the character has to be connected to every adventure hook (it becomes a bit unbelieveable if they are the center of the world), but at least...

    Level Up (A5E) Improving spells

    not sure about this and how this would be addressed in LevelUp... I'm not really interested in reading the same stuff I already got in my PHB etc. just with a more fancy or readable or better sorted write-up However, if this is just meant to be about basic formatting preferences for new spells...
