Are you serious right now? Bro this is maybe the most egregiously pointless “well actually” I’ve ever seen on this website.

Awesome. Can’t wait to get my hands on that. All I want from Kaiju is Shadow of The Collosus meets Breath of The Wild. Edit; Oh and for things like dragons to be treated like Kaiju.

Yep. But since they won’t be doing the PHB any time soon, at least we have stats for mixed elfin folk. I think the closest to a balanced mixed species mechanic we can hope for is the Custom Lineage. Which they should have just put into the damn PHB. Thank god. The “pick a parent” thing was...

Yes exactly! And Clark not having the same accent is so real. Like, I live in Southern California. People drop their home town accent fast when doing so makes life a lot easier, especially when your career would be stunted, and a LOT of people intentionally remove their native accent in their...

Huh? How? The movie doesn’t make fun of them at all, it just makes them earnest farmers that look and talk like midwestern farmers. I’ve seen this all over the web, but I don’t get it. I know people with those accents, and they are absolutely rural Kansans.

Kid (She/they) Kid is a disarmingly pretty, androgynous, human artificer (homebrew subclass but otherwise she’d be an Artillerist with punching) with a silvered magical prosthetic left arm. They’ve got curly blond hair (think blonde Merida). Kid’s quick, charming in a rough way, and extremely...

His premises are false, IMO. 2024 D&D hasn’t failed, it’s selling very very well. Every shop I know sells through the core books like it’s early 5e, Hasbro isn’t showing any signs of any kind of poor sales, and the last couple points are just silly. 2024 was made to improve the game. It...

It makes so much sense. What I’ve found too is that it makes it easier for players to gravitate toward solutions that fit their personality and that of their PC, rather than choosing combat by default. I have ideas for converting my own game to 5e and supporting both, and if I do part of that...

Good News! I’m working on a game that does those things above, though it isn’t based in 5e. I will be posting more about it soon.

I mean that’s the idea.

An alternate version of the game that: uses skills in place of most other character abilities so that any action is a skill check. Weapon groups and spell schools are skills, etc. replaces HP with something similar to Daggerheart but all damage scaling is dice and so your armor and defense...

The question isn’t about legitimate or not. It’s literally just banning the use of ai to generate medical or legal advice. Thee is no judgement call, there is just “only humans can give legal and medical advice, not spicy autocomplete.” There isn’t any room in that for anyone deciding what is...

It looks good. I wish they’d get women who actually look strong for roles like this, but oh well. Hollywood gonna Hollywood.

Even relying on LLMs for part of your work dulls your acumen. It’s exceptionally dangerous. How? How would a government “take advantage” of a law banning the use of ai in medical and legal casework? Yep. And if a technology being safe relies on humans behaving differently that humans...

So, I’ve always loved big solo boss battles with special mechanics and very interactive environments, like a Zelda game boss or (I know) the best MMO boss fights. In 5e this requires some design work but is doable, but I’m curious about Daggerheart. I only have the SRD stuff, but isn’t there a...

I suspect I’ll eventually end up running solos with more actions and passive control features akin to 5e lair actions and hazards. Boss battles should have mechanics beyond the direct abilities of the boss, like in a lot of video games. Daggerheart is pretty easy to understand by reading...

I’d look to the Swarmkeeper Ranger. Then upgrade spells like Unseen Servant for the class, letting them summon several at once. Give them a skeleton familiar as well. In combat they can spend a spell slot to empower their Horde, making movement within its space difficult terrain for your...

5e sucks are hordes, but the key is simply to treat them as A creature. Either using swarms as has been suggested, or by building specific horde rules that feel more dynamic than swarms do.

That doesn’t mean we don’t push back against the ubiquitous use of something that takes a massive amount more resources per output than what it (very poorly) pretends to replace. Being poor sucks. I’ve done a lot of it, and am happy to not be doing it anymore. The intractable power of...

Very interesting. Thanks! Gonna deep dive now lol
