The ignorance that leads to other cultures assuming all gnolls are inherently evil is sad, but sadly it also feels a likely scenario for worlds where other cultures have limited interactions with, and poor understanding of, gnolls (or other groups). Zeitgiest gives a good example of a setting...

Good on you! There will be lots of great tips here and the O5E DMG & A5E TNT both have really good guidance. But if you want one simple source that gives a comprehensive set of simple tips in an easily-manageable format, then Sly Flourish's Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master is brilliant and is...

...Oh and puzzles. I want puzzle challenges for my players - the longterm players have gone through everything I've got

There're lots of great ideas on this thread but this is the one that would make me subscribe

My first reaction was to think that parrying with both weapons creates a stacking loophole (no other A5E weapon property seems to have the potential to stack with something in the other hand). However, since one-handed weapons with the parrying property are limited to the d6 damage group, and...

Ah, you're the legend behind the (Not Really) Complete Tomes / Encyclopedias! Much, much appreciated and glad to finally be able to say thanks!

If you want a pocket full of caltrops you can use d4s instead of d6s. Our current expertise-like system (for AC) uses d4s to level 8 and then d6s from then.

I'm a huge fan of the new parrying property mechanic - it's a a surprisingly close match for the defense homebrew that we use. However, is the intention that it can be used against ranged attacks? It is limited to a creature you can see but melee attack is not called out. I'm good with adepts...

The parrying property. But there are so many clever tweaks that happily cover or replace almost every homebrew I've been using - I'm looking forward to playing by the book again!

Do you have a mock-up of what the leatherette covers will look like?

Any chance of a sneak peak of tiers the day before, so we can decide in advance and order quickly to help the "funded in x minutes" status?

There's a timing thing with Spindermind Games' Level Up gaming table, which was also Kickstarter funded, so "level up kickstarter" currently tends to pull those hits first. But I think the "A5E" label will be just as good as "5e" is for searches and I'm sure many of us consider this to be A5E...

How about maybe the Resting rules?

Bloodied (and other Conditions) please?

@Morrus can we see Bloodied (and other Conditions) next please?

Thanks, yeah, I guess it's mainly on rules that the SRD/OGL lets you down (esp classes, archetypes, etc) but that's thankfully not an issue here with A5E being complete as a standalone. Art, however, would appear to be one of my dump stats - definitely not talented enough to make my own!

Thanks, really useful to know. So OGL's the only real way to go. It'll be a big undertaking, as I'll lose the freedom to use WotC images and non-SRD references, but it would be nice to have that OGL freedom. Might have to do an intermediary step of updating the WotC-Fan-Policy-compliant version...

Not sure if the other two ways to publish D&D material are relevant and would be really interested to know: Via the WotC Fan Content Policy, if you're publishing for free (I see some donation/ads allowed). Game mechanics are a confusing issue since game rules are by definition not copyright/IP...

You know, I think this could work well as a Metamagic option (perhaps given as a free extra to Wild Magic sorcerers) that costs 3 sorcery points. Allows you to try and cast any sorcerer spell up to 5th level if you have (and spend) the appropriate slot.
