    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    Depends on how big "Big Enough" is. But probably, yes. There's a lot of people that would embrace something like this specifically with the intent of making other people upset, or angry, or hurt. Simply because it pleases them to inflict that kind of harm. Makes them feel like they have power...

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    Ahh, Deathstalker. Where sexual assault replaces handshakes and sexually assaulting a guy who got turned into a woman is played for laughs. One of the franchises I wish had remained relegated to the dustbin of history... but here we are.

    Just finished recording with A5evening a few minutes ago! It was fun,m and there were some laughs, but mostly I hope it's informative!

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    So something like... Dragonlands Dweller The Dragonlands is a broad term to describe the desolation many dragons leave behind in their former hunting grounds before they move on. But these lands are often occupied by those the dragon leaves behind. Dragonborn, kobolds, and other dragon-blooded...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Brundisi An age and an age ago, the great bronze dragon Milgryandixac founded a nation known as Brundisium in the seaside cliffs of Ahwalo. Brundisium began as a city-state devoted to Milgryandixac, a place of great wealth and amassed fortunes, in truth what he sought to hoard was family, and...

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    Inspired by Otyugh? Possibly! Actual Otyugh? Not a snowball's chance. WotC is terrified of large sized PCs on a conceptual level.

    D&D General Psionic species and subspecies, will they make a comeback too?

    Well! We could look to Lovecraftian mythos for a new abberation-heritage design? I think it's safe to say Cthulhu and the Illithid he spawned are clearly off-limits to avoid any kind of imminent lawsuit from WotC. The other big ones from the "Great Old Ones" range are Hastur and Yig. Yig is...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    They're so easy to make, people should just -do it-! Cultures are so incredibly easy to go bespoke on, too.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Something like... Ghosts of the Wildlands Culture: Your people hide in the old growth forests furthest from civilized lands. Discreet and careful, your people have long excised themselves from the cities and villages near to lakes and coastlines, and have learned to live in harmony with nature...

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Currently, sure. And you're not likely to ever see "Ghostwise Halfling" culture because the law suit would be immediate and overwhelming! But if enough people want it you might see a "Serial Numbers Filed Off" version that fits better in a GPG article or something similar.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Psion+++++thread

    Eh... You can have 300+ spells and still have Psions feel different in their own way. You just need to create a different mechanical structure for the use of powers, rather than just making them "More Spells" or "Borrow Spells from Wizard and call it powers" The Esper did not take me two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    Everything I do is an A5e product with 5e compatibility. Though this one might lean a little more 5e-ward with the whole core class restructure thing. Though this one would -probably- break it, since I'd be giving Bards more than 3 Archetype Abilities. I guess I'd probably have to redo all the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    Also looking at giving the Bard, Warlock, and Wizard "Revivify but Weird". Wizards get it -late- and catch a gem in a gemstone they can put into a construct. Warlocks get it early and it just straight up makes you undead. And then Bards get to do an epic song and drag their Chorus of friends...

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    You're limited in how many long rests you can take in a day, however. So the DM's answer should be "No." Or, better yet "You don't have time because things are still happening!"

    D&D 5E (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    I went with the noetic "Limit Break" You expended your Psychic Focus (a strong ability for retaining Psi Dice) to temporarily gain two small (1d4) psi dice. You could then use them to augment powers as you like, but your Psychic Focus was expended until you took a short rest to recover it, and...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    Just throwing that out there, not that I expect you to read it. But lemme try to put it another way: In Sumerian myth, there is no "Magic". Only Power. The Gods had power, monsters had power, and some mortals had power. Inanna, Goddess of Love and War, had the power to turn men into women and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    So I'm looking at doing some new spells and design around the core spellcasting classes to make them more mechanically distinct... and I had a few ideas I wanted to toss out to get opinions on. 1) New spell components. Yes. We have V,S,M... but what about P and C? P would be "Partner". Spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Should a Psion Be Able To Do?

    "Magic" covers everything supernatural or not-normal to our world for some folks. And that's okay. In most stories and settings, that's all there is. It doesn't mean, however, you cannot have a setting with multiple types of power. Superhero Comics, for example, have weird science...
