This is great. Bardsongs remind me of the Chanter class from Pillars of Eterny, which I really like. I’ve tinkered around with a Bard that is more of a reskin of the 1e Bard, where the subclasses focuses on the tutelage they receive (Nature, Divine, or Arcane). Was trying to get more of a theme...

Excelsior!

I've heard...not good things about the 2d20 system. Anyone care to give the two sentence synopsis of why? I'd love for my group to be able punch some Nazis...maybe even back them into the random propeller (airplane, or boat, I'm not picky).

Team Fusion - Bjorn Bjorn considered the words of Lorent. Alas, he knew stirges well, including that they were not natural beasts that he could speak to, nor reason with. However, he also knew that he and Bill were able to sneak past them on more than one occasion at the hives back home, so...

Probably! I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for lunch yesterday, never mind what we said last November. If so, assume Bjorn gave a more detailed description to that individual.

Seeing and hearing the stirge nests, Bjorn dipped his head back under water and headed back to the others. Ah, no wonder Bill became agitated. Little guy loved hunting those in the beehive caves back home, he thought to himself as he swam. The water barely rippled as Bjorn-frog emerged from...

Team Fusion - Bjorn Hearing Shade's words and acknowledging Bill's interest, Bjorn slipped back into the water and swam to the the northwest to scout what looked like another lake-like feature. He noticed the current's swiftness, sensing there may be another set of falls ahead. He stretched his...

Given we still most often get to go before the majority of enemies, fine. Getting an ambush is not all about going first (unless you’re an assassin or gloomstalker). It’s also positioning and getting a tactical advantage.

I run it where the moment the ambusher decides to attack, that initiates the roll. There are plenty of class abilities that nullify the disadvantage of being surprised, so it seems unfair to grant the ambusher a "free" attack given this is a class ability (I'm talking about advantage on...

One thing I love about SD is how flexible it is. For example, we roll 3d6, but don’t assign the rolls in order. We also use the option to reroll the stats if you don’t have a stat of at least 14. Lastly, we go with max hp for first level. None of this breaks the game, and allows for a better...

Bjorn eyed the strange statue with disgust as he sat dripping on his haunches. A foul corruption of stone an earth! Better it be that it is destroyed, he thought to himself. Hearing Shade's query, he knew he could cast a ritual to detect magical essences, but that required him to change back...

I just realized that this is now 10 year old. Good timing to create a version for Shadowdark! Random Encounters: Dungeon Levels 1-3

Yep. The olde 1e AD&D tables was the inspiration for how the tables are set up in the publication, just using the 5e monsters and encounters. I’ll try to post a link to it later.

I have a 5e version of this on DMs Guild. Might need to convert it to SD. Love me some random dungeon stocking tables.
