I feel the title of the thread does a lot of explaining... Flying towards you comes a glowing, glittering creature, it's wings a brightly-coloured blur such is the speed of movement, as it arrives, a second later a deafening roar makes you feel like the world is being torn apart around you, you...

I'm told that I should be posting under new releases. This is a delightful dozen it's twelve cute little magic items which I think should be relatively intriguing. It costs like, $5 so it's not free but maybe you'll like it? I know I was giggling when I wrote some of these, so that's generally...

If you've been following the series on the analysis of cantrips then you might be intrigued by my work on converting some of the most situational to magic items. I think the three that bring me the most glee are: The Mechanical Hornet The Grappling Hook +1 The Correspondent’s Friend I'm...

Oh. I don't know what the unwritten posting protocol here is. I did do another post this time about the cantrips from Manual of Adventurous Resources which PMG kindly permitted me to reproduce the text of for educational and entertainment purposes...

Oh! I missed this in the merge. Yes. I think that would be good for the cantrip. Pushing it up to S tier because it would be usable far more frequently although it would clash with Bardic Inspiration and other in combat options. Bonus actions are often meant to be conditional on your main...

Yeah. "In practice that's not obvious." 😀 thankyou!

Most kind. 😀

Ooh... do you have a Google doc or something somewhere? I do like a good point based system. 😀

Oh I couldn't find it so I posted it again. 😀

Here's a small article on my opinion of the ranking of the various cantrips in A5e and where there's space for more. Obviously you may have a different opinion and that's fine but I hope by seeing mine it might spark some ideas and help people interested in making characters make good...

I was doing some thinking about cantrips and how I liked them. So I did my usual thing which was make a table. Then I looked at how they're distributed amongst the classes. And then I looked at where the "holes" might be and how the rare versions stacked up. Probably interesting if you're...

You're welcome! Jesse is an absolute diva for knocking out top quality work. And such an eye for art! One very much to watch. 😀

IDK why we're talking about 2e either. Gold for XP is about as valid as any other method for advancement in its form as "get gold, bring back to "civilisation", earn XP" but that's definitely not part of Level Up. Can you use it with A5e? Sure. Why not? We've moved quite far away from an...

Well XP is generally only framed as being given for killing things? Saying you should give XP for social situations, for discoveries isn't something I've seen in many places. For some people it's very controversial ("roleplay should be its own reward") but incentives are incentives. I note...

I hope that's not addressed to me. I think it's pretty clear that: 1. I, specifically, like survival. I've written many words to that effect. I won't say how many hours I've sunk into Valheim but a non-trivial amount. 2. Many people do not like survival. There opinions are valid but when a...

Thanks 😊 I am interested in fairly nerdy parts of the game so I use some rhetorical flourishes to make my writing more interesting to read. 😀

So you like challenges and journeys which are lots of fun and often well supported. You don't like the survival parts. Well, good to see I've not misjudged. 😀

A culture of ignoring random combat encounters in journeys I would say. Heck a short rest will often address these problems. I personally would love to play in hexcrawl but you know how it goes. You always run the games you want to play. :(

I think you're totally right, that's hex crawling and an old fashioned style. I think the advantage of A5e is that we have the journey rules. I would never want to see an empty hex, I'd put a bit of scenery in at least, which is amazing for world-building.
