I've been looking at/trying to develop a color based spell casting system since before the first free Planeshift document came out. Everything has warts. Literally a square peg into a round hole. Not a workable system, but the best attempt I've seen is Spell List as Color by Laurafindel is a...

I want to go to this universe. Let me cast plane shift on my teleporting Spelljammer. Turtles all the way down.

Sorry I can't be of any help, but I did not make this (or have the ability or knowledge about doing so). Keith C. originally designed them, and Terri Carey made them form fill-able. I knew them thru the now defunct Google+, and have lost contact with them since it's demise. Keith originally just...

I know I've been pimping 5e-card-a-day in these Theros threads a lot, but they've done a few of the gods. Heliod Erebos Nylea

Probably the edition I put the most miles on as a DM. I played the most 1e, but I ran some epic campaigns using the 2e rules in high school and while in the Army.

In my current game I ruled that you needed a bed to get the benefits of a long rest. In the wild, sleeping for the night only gives you the benefit of a short rest.

Tangentially related is some work Laurafindel did on GitP and the Paizo forums dividing all 5e spells into the five colors of Magic: The Gathering. I was going to use it as a base of Magic themed "Mana Caster" class but I was never able to work it out. She allowed me to host the list on my...

When I make new monsters, I usually completely copy and paste sections of stat blocks. There is no hard science to this, just use what works for you.

Zendikar was the first to receive a Plane Shift article. Plane Shift: Zendikar Both Zendikar and Ixalan came with playable vampire races as well.

I'm populating a torture room, that has various knives, blades, blades, and hooks hanging from chains on the ceiling. I'm looking to crowd-source a d100 list of the various nasty blades. Thanks!

When I'm world building I model it that instead of each god having its own temples and churches, the pantheon is worshiped as a whole. Each temple will have shrines to each of the gods within. I tend to make the major racial gods part of the main pantheon. Moradin may be the god of the dwarves...

Like others have stated...don't make anything that you don't need. Sure, I like to world build and create stuff, but most of it never sees the light of day. I'm about to start a new campaign. I've collected some thoughts on note cards. General setting ideas. Some the players have access to. I...

My daughter is currently running a game for her friends that she describes as "Twilight Saga set on Innistrad".

I wrote about the drow problem on my blog. I've reskinned them as Darthomirians from Star Wars. https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/2018/11/07/eska-the-drow-problem-solved-dathomirians/

Jumping back in the convo a bit, but I'm going to try out this weather generator. https://1-dot-encounter-planner.appspot.com/advanced-weather-generator.html

I had been in the planning stages of a similar game with my 14 year old twin boys. On Eska, the Vril were the unknown, ancient people that made all the wonders. In a rocky northern coastline, caches of Vril (magic) items have been found. This has caused a bit of a "gold rush". Instead of...

I would try it, but with the warning to the players that it was a playtest, and subject to change.

I work for UPS, and continue to go to work. We are considered "critically essential". Even in areas in lock down, which includes us here in Pittsburgh. If anything, our volume is increasing, as people adjust to working from home. I actually think that D&D will soar. It ports very well to online...
