    Gate Pass Gazette New GPG Annual 2023

    The GPG contain a wealth of information. If it's not usable, though, it's not valuable. If I have 12 issues of a magazine, physical or PDF, I can have each one open to the thing I want to compare and switch between them. It's easier to compare and contrast something, e.g. feats or spells. If...

    Gate Pass Gazette New GPG Annual 2023

    Yes, I do know it would require a complete reorganization. Yes I would want the Mount Jino article to go to Exploration Challenges, Monsters, and NPCs. Is it a lot? Yes. Is it realistic? No. I'm merely sharing my wishlist. I won't get it without asking. I also was underwhelmed by...

    Gate Pass Gazette New GPG Annual 2023

    I see this is going to be coming soon. From last years, I know you want to do it fast and have it at the end of the kickstart period. I got last years and while I'm glad to have supported it, the format turned me off. It's so poorly organized that I have barely looked at it over the year...

    Shadowrun 1st Edition To Be Reprinted

    While I agree with what you are saying, I'm torn on these ideas. As you said, you need to vary things so that you can have game mechanics on why one gun is better than another gun. (I had this problem as I kept using Alternity and soon there was nothign new anymore.) Maybe the base game has...

    Shadowrun 1st Edition To Be Reprinted

    Wow! I had 1E SR but wasn't old enough to grok the rules. Or some things that I'm still figuring out today. I do prefer a bit more rules than less, finding it easier to ignore than add, but this was a bit much. Whenever they went to the current die pool is what I would want. 3E? For me...

    Paizo and Natural Pengu Partner Up

    https://www.enworld.org/threads/lets-talk-virtual-tabletops.699984/ Okay, found it. Fifteen years ago, I used mapTools. Very easy to pull in new assets, maps, etc. I didn't use any character tracker, if they had one then. d20Pro was my go to VTT at the start of the pandemic. I had used it...

    Paizo and Natural Pengu Partner Up

    Well, how many are you using? How many could you name before you looked them up? Did you read the list and say, "Oh, okay, I understand why that one was made?" for each of them? Or do they all have the same functions? Care to share the list? I do think competition is good. So, share the...

    Paizo and Natural Pengu Partner Up

    I went to the link and found they don't have much content on the website. In fact, nothing but a sign up and links. I went to the YouTube channel and they have fourteen videos (and maybe that many shorts), so yes, a new YT channel, imo. I watched and found their "Bard in 4 minutes" a bit of a...

    Level Up (A5E) Maneuvers and Extra Attacks

    I do apologize for playing DA here on this. It's my way of understanding it. It's making me want keywords, a la PF2, even though PF2 isn't my first pick for a game for other reasons. I'm trying to understand the specificity of the language used. Other maneuvers will say "take an Attack...

    Level Up (A5E) Maneuvers and Extra Attacks

    Hmm. Okay, now I'm not so sure. Reading Rapid Strike, that says that as an Attack Action, you make your attacks and then for 2 exertion points, get to use your bonus action as an extra attack and if that hits, you can use your reaction to attack again for 2 more exertion points. Raking...

    Sneak Peak of Planescape: A Preview

    I feel seen, having my Dragon Dice on shelves below and my Blood Wars game. I had Spellfire but sold those. As for the rest, this is the first thing from WotC that I'm interested in for 5E. I didn't start playing 5E until 2018 and now play Level Up instead. I never ran Planescape back in the...

    Level Up (A5E) Maneuvers and Extra Attacks

    We ran into this last night. I do agree that the wording isn't clear or it's confusing if it replaces one attack or is the action. In any case, I decided to make it more useful and say that it gives an Extra attack, after all other attacks on the action, at disadvantage. My group is...

    Level Up (A5E) Are Bard Hymns Overpowered?

    Thanks for the ideas! We are in person, so having the hymn on a card, out and visible to all might help. I think I had to realize that the bard has to declare the hymn they are starting. It's almost like Vancian casting because they have to guess what might be needed. When I realized that...

    Level Up (A5E) Are Bard Hymns Overpowered?

    Great conversation, if a bit necro on it! I'm glad I found it as I have a bard in my current LU game. We have some questions. As per Selganor's post, the bard starts a hymn on their turn. That costs no action. Then, the idea is that maybe before the end of the bard's turn, they give their...

    Level Up (A5E) Official Spell Cards?

    Did you ever produce spell cards? Or item cards? Monster cards? Any plans to do so?

    Worlds of Design: What’s Your Objective?

    Thanks for the reply! I like the clarification! My apologies on the name. I have usually seen it as FATE, so thanks! Those are fair points. I do have Achtung Chthulu, Dresden Files, and Strands of Fate. I was generalizing too much. There are systems out there and already created. I...

    Worlds of Design: What’s Your Objective?

    For me, when I run a game, I'm looking to tell a collaborative story with my players. I want the system I'm using to help me with that goal. I'm also lucky that I have players that are willing to go along with this. Several will create characters that have background hooks for me to explore...
