I have pursued this for a long time. I've tried lots of things, but nothing that's really easy to just slot into existing D&D without a lot of changes. It looks like you're trying to build a whole new combat system, though. Or are you intending to layer this over D&D as is? I worry about the...

The weirdest real world resonance for me is that when we had finished the Act Three hardcover compilation, the last thing for me to do was write the Foreword: a sort of capstone commentary, so I opined a bit on the ways the world can change, and our influence on it. I wrote it November 5, 2016...

Oh, I love the photo capstone. Seventhdoctor, I'll dig into the wiki tonight. For me, it's always an honor to hear players enjoyed the campaign, and I suppose it's a good problem to have that it's starting to get hard to keep straight all the different casts of PCs from the various campaigns...

Yeah, in the edition where we wrote it, you could not dispel a geas unless you were at least as high level as the original caster. So, um, they can't dispel it, or remove curse it, or anything, until the party's at least 15th level (by which point it doesn't really matter). Yes, it's a fiat...

One night, while a lot of us were drunk for some party, my friends started spitballing names for RPGs, and the one that we landed on was Sorority Combat Mission. They insisted I run it immediately, despite having done no planning and having no rules. In my drunk brain, I decided that instead of...

I ran a Halloween one shot for a group of friends who'd never played Bloodborne. The PCs were father, stepmother, cruel uncle, witchy grandma, heroic brother, and creepy neighbor, and they rode for Yarnham to take the family's sick young daughter for treatment at the Church, where the girl's...

My bad. I chose a bad term because there is not, to my knowledge, a word that quite captures what I have in mind. I meant that the object producing the forcefield cannot use friction from inside the field to rotate the exterior of the field. The forcefield's exterior is sort of 'grippy.' If a...

Ooh, ooh! I actually have an explanation for this if I ever try to do my own mecha setting! The short version: forcefields which do not transfer momentum and which do create strong EM interference. Like, the various reasons Battletech is silly are: 1. Why pilot mecha instead of drones? 2. Why...

Depending on how comfortable you are with kludging some rules, you could just take any CR appropriate monster and add a couple trillith-y elements, then give it a Portentous Name and maybe a little bit of flavor in an aura ability or something. Like, this hill giant were-dire-boar could be...

D'oh, yes.

I normally don't go in for royal weddings, but non-hereditary monarchy I make an exception for.

I'm not sure if maybe I messed this up, by I figure that (edit) Beshela serves She Who Writhes, and SWW can banish people the same way TVoR can, so her being in the Waking was basically a one-way trip (at least until Av gets put back in its old place and new connections between the planes...

I'm pretty sure EN World doesn't get much say in what sorts of ads run on the browsers of visitors, but it did amuse me to see this pop up while reading this thread: Man, the world is so weird now, I'm almost wondering, "Is this a fake ad meant to discredit Adobe? Because that looks pretty mid...

There was an ad by Wacom - y'know, for the tablet that artists use to make art - and the ad was AI generated. Way to piss off your audience. --- Look at the tail just sorta appearing out of the belly, and the fringe of the back not going up the spine. No real artist would screw up like that.

God, I loved Thurston's idea for dumb redneck salamanders.

Always a joy to see an update from you.

I'm far too pleased with myself over all the fey weirdness of this adventure.

I don't think it was ever the intention for Urim to hit Av. I don't know. Maybe the golden asteroids were the things at the edge of the Gyre that tore it apart?
