Yeah, but the latter problem is solved by the usual 5e assumption that looted gear is generally garbage that isn't better than what you've got, and no one wants to buy it. OTOH, I'd still use the Vendors, if it were me, with a small number of hand-picked items sold for coin. My question for...

That sounds really great. Much better than what we got, but that's not a problem - it doesn't have to compete, really, as it would be a great companion to it, if anyone were so inclined.

Stryke has taken a liking to Copper and will suggest that the two of you hop back to where you fought the Elf and wait just around the corner for signs of trouble (I will insert coordinates here).

This sounds fun. I would adapt many of the items to the TTRPG, bit cut them down by a wide margin. Something like 1/3 of the way from the PHB toward the video game. I might want to run this!

Sure, but what do we even know about it? (And: I am pretty sure WotC has retconned it into FR, and Venger is a Red Wizard of Thay now).

You are right. A bespoke "10th level spell" system (where everything is a multi-caster ritual that requires rare material components and speciality research) would suit the fiction significantly better than this.

That's only true of some of the options (actually, only Supplant that I can see at a quick glance). Other options require no slot, or any slot.

Yeah, Magic Initiate doesn't work, not because you don't get slots (only some of the options require slots) but because you don't have the Spellcasting (or Pact Magic) feature.

When analysing it, let's not make the mistake of assuming that it does more than it actually does (what it does will be enough!) For example, for the extra 1000ft (Aside: it bothers me when the original range becomes a rounding error) but most spell still require that you are able to SEE your...

Upon first reading, I had really liked Circle Casting - probably the first time I've really liked a mechanical "subsystem" of 5e. Every time they announce one, I've always been really excited by them, only to be let down by the execution (and I'm generally positive enough about D&D to have had...

Yes, yes it does!

Team Caves Valendra sighed and said, "The Arcane Brotherhood seeks knowledge above all else. It is true that sometimes we must ally ourselves with... less than savory organizations. I know very little about the Wyrmspeaker and his 'pet', but I have heard tantalizing rumours that they are near...

Right, thanks! I think they're on the right track with the DM/Player split. And I think that they love the idea of selling you two books for the price of two (I'm less of a fan of this approach, even as a retailer, but this looks like something they'd be interested in continuing, and at least...

Team Fusion The two groups were gathered in the obelisk's cavern, on a high ledge to the west of the underground lake. They had a bite to eat and adjusted their armor, checked themselves for wounds and rested. The kayaks were piled next to the north wall of the cavern, and Loklafd sheathed his...

If anyone is interested, I started a thread about brainstorming using this format for other locations and settings. Feel free to join me with your knowledge of those settings, because I tend to forget stuff about even the ones that I know well!

Warrior of the Staggering Style? You're right. They sure did back themselves into a corner with the "Warrior of" thing.

I'll try one. Feel free to jump in! I'd like to see Dark Sun in this format, and unlike (what seems like) half the people on these boards, I think that we'll probably see it sooner rather than never. I haven't played DS in too long to have a good idea what it might look like, other than...

In 10+ years of DMing 1 to 4 games a week, I have never seen it used, not even after giving it to a couple of PreGens I made.

I think that you would be fine with just the Adventures book. There's some solid "how (this place) looks to your chatacter" stuff in the Heroes book, plus Gods (useful for DMing a cleric player) and Factions (which includes a lot of the political landscape), but how useful that is depends on...
