    Create an RPG multiverse from scratch

    I was already working on it... my Shroompunk setting, my life's work, is an infinite number of anachronistic magitech sword & sorcery Worlds-- both single biome and complex-- connected by a sprawling network of living, evolving megadungeons. Every few years, connections to 2-3 Worlds...

    (IC) PLANESCAPE: Intrigue

    Kachil'kcha eyed the other cutters warily. "I am not summoning you, no," she crooned; her telepathic 'voice' was warm and soothing, in contrast to the razored edges of her chitin. "I think also you are not summoning me, yes? Summoned here together, we are, yes?" "Is being job interview, yes?"...

    D&D General Why is "OSR style" D&D Fun For You?

    To start with, it's just B/X, in a single convenient boxed set (or hardback) organized to make it easy to read and absorb and easy to read at the table. It has top notch production values, but it focuses on substance (and readability) over style. It is, essentially, as good as "D&D as a toolbox"...

    D&D General Why is "OSR style" D&D Fun For You?

    I am a bit of a weird outlier in the whole OSR movement, because while I cut my teeth on "early Eighties D&D" (in the early Nineties) I didn't learn anything like the grim-and-gritty dungeoncrawling style of the modern OSR. Our adventures were full of barbarians and monks with psionic wild...

    D&D 5E (2024) Change multiclassing prerequisites?

    There is no simple and easy way to do it. Look at the 10 official hybrid classes Paizo published, or any of the third-party hybrid classes that have been published-- Purple Duck has done some stellar work-- and they're not just adding up all the class features together and then subtracting them...

    D&D 5E (2014) I quit a game. Am I in the wrong? (spoiler, I don't believe so)

    Do you want to play in this guy's next disaster campaign? Because if you don't, you have no reason to give a damn why he thinks you quit this one. People who make mistakes like this aren't capable of learning from them, because people who can learn from their mistakes don't make mistakes like this.

    D&D 5E (2024) Change multiclassing prerequisites?

    The first main problem is that in a system of exponential growth, you're trading the highest-level features of one class for the lowest-level features of one or more other classes. This is most notable with spellcasters and, in 5e, the difference between high-level spells and low-level spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) Change multiclassing prerequisites?

    I'm a big proponent of the concept of multiclassing, but I think the pick-a-class method in 3e and 5e is-- speaking admittedly from hindsight-- fatally flawed and unsalvageable. We're not going to come up with a more functional method as long as we keep holding on to the things that make it...

    Recruitment- PLANESCAPE: Intrigue. Reopened

    I am inordinately fond of Psychic and Spiritual Handbook from DMs Guild. Far as I know, everything WOTC has published has been in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, including the Telekinetic feat.

    Thank you. I'll be back with revisions soon.

    D&D 5E (2014) Miscellaneous House Rules (longish; PEACH)

    I forgot armor. Massive Damage: Your character has a Massive Damage Threshold, like in d20 Modern. Take more damage than that from a single action (an attack, a multiattack, a spell), roll two CON saves (DC modified by the attack and Mortality). Pass both, no problem; pass one, take +X...

    D&D 5E (2014) Miscellaneous House Rules (longish; PEACH)

    For Context: I am not a big fan of 5e, so I don't have the same level of in-depth experience I have with, say, 3.5 or PF1. I'm pretty much ripping out all of the content of 5e to upholster its structure with content I like better. Which is to say, nothing I am proposing here should be construed...

    Just want to note that I love what you did with the hints of a background I gave you.

    New The Marvels - Official Trailer

    Man, that is some cut of that song. Rivals the use of One for Punisher and Come As You Are for The Defenders.

    Recruitment- PLANESCAPE: Intrigue. Reopened

    This is how I run my games, and how I prefer to play in games, and why I normally prefer being the Token Evil in a standard goodly campaign. Ask me about Terminator some time. With some caveats. The advice you've been given about competing interests versus conflicting interests is very solid...

    Kachil'kcha Thri-Kreen Rogue (Assassin) 3/Bard 2 Chaotic Evil Kachil'kcha is what the other thri-kreen call-- in hushed tones-- a zik'chil or "priest of change"; her pale, greenish chitin is studded with a constellation of expensive gemstones and thri-kreen runes in precious metals. She has a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would You Let a Monk Roll for Stats?

    Workshopping this: Standard array (15/14/13/12/10/8) or 27 point buy first, assigned to taste. Next, roll 6d4 for each ability in order, recording the individual die results. The player chooses one ability to keep all six dice, two abilities to keep the best five, and the other three...
