"Welcome stranger, to the town of Bunnyburrow in Beatrixia!" A strange, small, Harengon greets you. He stands barely three feet tall and has immaculately white fur. He is wearing a red velvet jacket and watch with golden casing and chain. "I'm Peter the Greeter!" You're not entirely sure how...

Andre Norton wrote a series of books collectively called the "Witch World". If it sounds familiar it's been mentioned a couple different times before this. I've actually worked a great deal on a website dedicated to it that was originally started by another fan who's since gone. The series...

I imagined such a setting once with the races being 'imports' from other worlds. They weren't necessarily from established settings but did suddenly find themselves all in one area with no clue how they got there nor how to return. They've been learning how to live together while exploring the...

That's true, but I also figure that it can help with world building because sometimes the connections you have really help. It could also be NPC connections instead, as aco175 mentioned. In fact I've actually edited it to read that way. Mostly I'm trying to world build a setting by using...

That's true, but this thread is a world building exercise, so the backgrounds are definitely going to be used somehow. We haven't really done it yet, so at some point it may be that way. I'm trying to make sure there's at least one point of connection, even if it's a friend of a friend. My hope...

So, my GM is creating a new setting and is having one where we players are involved. It goes thus: our characters will help in the world creation process by having their backgrounds and other information build what goes into the world. Name: Kin name, chosen name, assumed name, etc. Species...

Well, it's hard for me to think up things without wondering how balanced they'd be in play, so it seems sensible to take things that have been made. It could be "another Ranger skill of your choice that you don't have proficiency in". That makes sense. I put it at 7th level because it seemed a...

It could be that backgrounds could also help. It certainly did for me. Honestly, though, I wish things were a little bit easier to plug-in/switch out for versitility.

To be honest, I had forgotten about the Scout Rogue, which does cover a lot. With an Archeologist background that'd actually cover what I want!

So, I was planning a Ranger character whose motto is "To Adventure!" but none of the Ranger subclasses really jive with it while only bits of the various Rogue ones do (I'm not sure about him being a Rogue as he spends a lot more time in the wilderness and ancient ruins than the city). I tried...

Leaning hard into AI will likely result in something like Pathfinder being developed or Level Up gaining even more ground.

I'm really loving this! I like it better than both 5e and LL's. I've played a Bard and, honestly, I much prefer the idea of magical, musical scores like Bardsong to make it feel like you're doing your job properly rather than just singing out spells. They definitely do not need to be full...

Given this thread, I was wondering what a TTRPG might look like for official TNT release. I realize any discussion here would likely not bear fruit for creating it (TNT would almost certainly want something in-house), but there are a lot of creative folks here who might also happen to like...

I was watching this and was reminded that there were a great many mounted archers through history. In fact, I seem to recall Egyptians had chariot archers. I can't recall, off hand, any sort of mounted archer in either 5e or Level Up. Part of the problem, of course, is that mounts are not easy...

I'm really hoping that if I throw enough stuff on the wall some of it might stick and people might like it. I've given up hope that people will actually be interested in any of this, but maybe if they see someone plugging away at a setting they might get inspired. Stranger things have happened...

On Deities: We cannot talk about the immortality of souls without addressing the issue of deities. It's well known that souls can accumulate a large amount of gramarye. This is what allows everyone to access magic to one degree or another. For Fey and Elementals (who make up most of the...

I mean there are reasons to have them. It's just not always easy to figure out where or how they fit in with everything else, though the folks here have been very helpful with that!

I have a group I've been playing with for a few years now. The DM has been the same person and I thought it might be nice to try and do something so he can be a player for a change (given that DMing is a lot of work when done correctly). nods I had thought on that too, but BBEG are very common...

So, I'm trying to figure out how to make my very own First Adventure, but it's not clear what I should do. Being Author-Minded, I tend to think of things in the direction of a story but, of course, it needs to also be flexible enough that the Players don't feel railroaded. The thought starts...

"In the beginning, it is always dark." Epitopia is our world, a place created lovingly by Eidolia and Elemtia. We have here the Housed Spirits (often called Mortals), the Aethum Spirits (often called Elementals) and the Imagined Spirits (often called Fey). All Spirits whether Mortal...
