The new tools for skills went live and I just got to say, thank you @paulvenner, those are perfect!

I think the answer largely boils down to what kind of playstyle you're expecting. For very narrative-focused games, I would look into PbtA or FATE, with the former if you and your players like more of a "shared narrative" approach. I don't have enough experience with Cortex to speak with any...

Red - absolutely the first thing that came to mind.

If you do decide to go with Savage Worlds, you can track down some of the Darwin's World supplements... it's basically a Fallout-esque setting without the humor, but has a lot of analogs and NPC builds you can port over.

I prefer to use organic interruptions to discourage overly restful PCs rather than ticking clocks. By this, I might use random encounters, noises, bad dreams, or dangerous environments to keep the adventure moving. Where I have used a ticking clock, I usually have a notecard where I tick down...

Most of these heritages were created, posted, and tweaked on these boards back when LevelUp was still in playtest phase, so long before PJ's point-buy toolkit was made available. I imagine the Heritage Handbook was deep in the editing proof-reading stages by that point. If boredom strikes...

One of us... one of us... So I found they tend to work best as one-shots or mini-campaigns, usually with a Destroy All Monsters type of theme. I have the players control the human investigators trying to solve the macguffin, which triggers different monster attacks... which I also let the...

Godzilla + the whole Tohoverse (Heck throw in Monsterverse too). It'd probably be a mess to get the licensing... and then even if you did, I think only me and 2 others would want to play it :p

@paulvenner Thanks for your continued support on the sheet. Just a bug report and a few feature questions: Bug: We're still having problems with the Initiative die roll button with Dexterity (I ended up making a generic roll20 macro for doing initiative as a workaround). Are there still plans...

I haven't had this happen personally to me and I've run a few sessions now with the sheet. The only time I was experiencing stats vanishing is if I was entering in monster stats too quickly and Tab-scrolling to the next one. It tends to like a moment to run its modifier calculations before you...

Thanks for the thoughtful responses! I'm planning on trying a A5E take on Witchlight, which has some very module-specific backgrounds. Also I've been watching the Dragonlance playtests and what they've been doing with backgrounds, so it got me thinking.

So I know that officially, if you're mixing race/heritage creation elements of A5E and O5e, you more or less want to do all of 1 or all of the other (at least when it comes to heritages/cultures/backgrounds vs race/backgrounds). However, has anyone tried using an A5E heritage/culture with an...

Congratulations on getting this released!!

One shortcut is opening the monster on the AE5 tools and doing a lot of copy/paste. Saves some time!

I'm using it. Yeah, I've been entering the monsters by hand as I need them. I can get some stats to come over from a vanilla 5e game when it comes to player-character sheets*, but monsters don't seem to match up. I'm not sure there's a way around it unless they were to one day release a...

Wow, this is really cool; This just opens the creative possibilities that can be done with the Maneuvers system! Thank you, @Steampunkette . More please, haha!
