A new video about the upcoming videogame. It mentions "the Rot", something like a "dark force" that corrupts technology.

if we chat about how to design new classes I repeat again the keys according my own opinion: Right power balance, of course. Interesting concept, its mark of identity. And now in 5e WotC wants each class could show different subclasses with its own style. Fun gameplay. Lots of powers about...

I started in D&D with the translation of the gamebooks, and I have got the 23, and some ones of Advanced D&D. Maybe the next year they will be sent to my niece, who is 7y now. They are the jewels of my childhood. It is not a novel but I also bought the art of Dragonlance and I feel like a...

Do you remember the animes where the hero suffers a lot of attacks by the enemy but hw gets up again to continue fighting? To fight like a depression in the real life is something like this, and even I rembember somebody said watching anime helped against depression. Roleplaying games may help...

Paizo bet for a different strategy about new classes. Maybe WotC dared to publish new classes with special mechanics in the last years of 5.24 Ed. when they hadn't to worry about these to be expansion-friendly. In 4e lots of spells or powers about moving and buffing were useful but too boring...

If I try to imagine D&D style 80's vibes my mind visualizes Elmore's pictures for Dragonlance. The 2000-2010s or 3Gm (age of the third generation mobiles) was Greyhawk and the iconic class characters. Visually 4e had got a lot of Warcraft-like visual style but I can't feel inspiration to create...

Tarbaria part 4. Are there firearms? Yes but usually they aren't so effectives. The damage against enemies caused by the firearms depends of the level of the gun and the shooter. How to explain it better? Let's imagine for example a gun produced in a factory and in the hands of a rookie police...

The space explorers investigated both supowers and they decided to share some of their superadvanced technology with the Pedisequians, instead the Paragrafians. This choice was an offense for the last ones of historical proportions. Why when Paragrafians citadels seemed true utopies? There were...

Barataria (Part 2). The relation between the Paragrafians and the Pedisequians is very complicated, like frienemies, because the Pedisequian faith derives from the Paragrafians, a radical evolution to be only a schim. The origin of the Paragrafian faith comes from a group of slaves, mainly...

In Spain the word for supercool would be superguai. In the past this word was used to express pain, but in the 80 it started to be used like synonmy of cool, great or fabulous. The etimology of this isn't clear but my own theory is this new use is from "¡guau!", exclamation to express surprise...

I have said in the past I imagine the 5e warlord like a martial adept, a fighter with the martial maneuvers "White Raven" and "Devoted Spirit" from 3.5 Tome of Battle: Book of the nine Swords. And warlord subclases? One focused into stealth for undercover operations, guerrillas or ambushs, other...

A Spirit-Walker class sounds like a remake of the vestige binder from 3.5. Tome of Magic. If she couldn't change the patron then it would be only a "primal warlock". There was a sourcebook about shamans in 2nd Ed. This had got three subclasses, tribal (she works for the tribe or group), solitary...

Exandria is by a 3PP and there is a gunfighter class in D&DB. A warlord in Dragonlance? Maybe but this would be better for Birthright. For Dragonlance I would suggest the knight class. Other point. If the arcane warrior casted spells that needed somatic components.. couldn't she use a shield or...

Can we use the name "nagual" for a monster-shifter class? I imagine the nagual class like a primal defender, a remade of warden class from 4e but with elements from totemist shaman (Magic of Incarnum), using "essence points" to unlock or upgrade special traits. My mind also see the summoner...

A fighter with "superpowers" is possible, but with its own subclasses and these being really interesting concepts are a different thing. OK, I suggest two examples from the fiction, the swordman and the black knight from Marvel Knights. But these are "ordinary" warriors with "special" weapons...

A ranger is a fighter with a piece of stealth and primal magic, and a witcher is like Bane(Batman enemy) with some magic tricks. The artificer can disarm traps like rogues. A magic-martial class can't be only a wizard with armour because then that would be a warmage. Teorically the "duskblade"...

Let's remember the 5e philosophy is each class has to offer options for subclasses and each subclass has to show its own identity or brand power. If you are reading a D&D story and you can't notice each subclass is after the charater fought a couple of encounters then it is a "boring" subclass...
