Fishing Catches Note: I realize that the posts for this review can be quite long, so I’ll be breaking them up into smaller readable chunks. This won’t affect the daily posting rate, as I already wrote drafts for every chapter in this book, but it does mean I may post 2 times a day instead of...

Why Slay Dragons When You Could Be FISHING is an in-depth, robust fishing mini-game that rewards the PCs who continue to invest in it.

abe ray, please take this message in good faith for I can tell that you're passionate about this thread and subject matter, but you tend to ask some very open-ended questions to a mostly-neurotypical crowd on the best way to gameify autism. I get the feeling that you're expecting posters here to...

Sorry about the long-overdue reply, but you're very welcome. I had fun writing it even if my overall thoughts on the setting are average. For those who prefer to consolidate their online purchases on OneBookShelf, the Solasta Campaign Rulebook is now up on Drive-Thru RPG.

In the past I used to get excited at seeing more 3rd party support hit wider audiences via D&D Beyond, but after what they tried to pull by restricting legacy content people paid for, any such enthusiasm I used to have for this is gone. I don't mean to be a downer, but I can't trust buying...

Is this the book you're referring to? I haven't read it, so thank you for pointing me in its direction. I presumed that the OP was talking in a more official sense for missing races; if you include 3pp stuff there's probably something for everyone out there. The balance and playability, on the...

I think that the gameability of the elemental planes could be massively improved by expanding on the places that are hospitable to PCs and have incentives for planar travels to visit. The City of Brass is perhaps the best example of being a planar metropolis full of greedy, ambitious efreeti and...

While I figure it raises all sorts of balance concerns, I do feel that there should be room for talking/awakened animals as playable options in D&D. Even if not a core race like dwarves or elves, at least a supplementary one like genasi or tritons. They're such a huge archetype in so many...

I think the real question should be how many classes should be in the core rules vs how many classes there should be total. Personally speaking, I don't mind a huge amount of classes being available as options, but do favor a DM limiting access to fit the particular needs and styles of their...

1. Thank you. I think what works in the latter two's favor is that they don't automatically have "bad guy" vibes so they can be more easily inserted into "heroic/neutral" campaigns. 2. & 3. I started hearing from others that quite a few of these classes were inspired and based on old zine...

Location: The Circle of Paljehu the Builder The City of Elantris by Robin COSTET on ArtStation The dragons of the Ancestral Homeland are akin to minor gods, whose respective circles are cosmic clay to be reshaped to their whims. When the Homeland became a solved world and the dragons lost...

Someone raised a similar talking point over at the OSR subreddit. Figured to link to broaden the discussion.

Edit: The author appears to keep company with people whose values are strongly against my ethos, so I deleted this review.

Artwork from Midgard DMs Screen & Character Sheets for 5th Edition A world of dark fantasy and deep magic, Midgard began as a setting inspired by Central and Eastern European history and folklore rather than the Western fantasy counterpart cultures that predominate D&D. Over time, Midgard grew...

Thank you for letting me know the artist. Added their name to the post! I actually did bring up the phanaton in the post when talking about the Tortle and also the Dragon Magazine articles. That said, it's interesting to hear about the creature compendium, but I didn't get much opportunity to...

Builders of Might, Hunters in the Night Part 2 The following classes are taken from Anthology of Heroes, a compilation of classes by Taron Pounds. I haven't done a write-up for the Runekeeper, both because it's the most complicated and also because much of its mechanics are very contingent on...
