Some world building that came into my head. Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. As a forewarning, these sections are long and went into my head in a sort of "Tall Tale" fashion that I don't write well.

Because my brain is a peculiar place, the following has been going on in it: Though Dwarves are most often associated with hills and mountains, I don't see why they couldn't be sailors and farmers. If anyone would likely be similar to them, the Dwarves make the most sense. Of course, what this...

I'm both aware of Pathfinder 1e's Swashbuckler and the Rouge subclass. To be honest, I could never figure out why it isn't a Bard subclass, all things considered (though College of Blades comes close). My friend Dave found this homebrew one too, but I was considering making my own and was...

To prefix, there's nothing wrong with the old Mystara, though I know folks hope it'd get updated. What I'm going for here is basically a world building exercise with some parameters for anyone interested: 0) This is supposed to be fun. Please respect one another. 1) The world is Earthlike in...

There's been much discussion on multiclassing over the years. I'm wondering if the current system allows people the freedom to really create the type of character they want (and if not, what folks might want to see done to make that better). I gave a poll for those who happen to multiclass. The...

So I've been thinking a lot about this thread which petered out but was a lot of fun while it lasted. I decided to copy the rules, with a few adjustments: Loosely inspired by the game Microscope, let's build a setting together. One post at a time. These are the rules: 1) One post, one idea...

Let's say we could no longer use Vancian Magic (I'm sure there are homebrews like this). What sort of spell system might folks see replacing it and why? For me I tend to like spell points and something like Ars Magica where a person can combine an "act" with something to be acted on. "Create...

So I was developing my own Ranger class, and looking over things and for the Favored Foe Knack (an option Rangers can take starting at 3rd level) I had: I was trying to figure out why humanoids as a group can't be a Favored Foe. They, realistically, shouldn't be any different than the others...

I created a homebrew Ranger class using basically every version of the Ranger (plus some other folk's home brew) as a guide. I was hoping for some feedback on it but the document is 68 pages (22492 words, 173 or 176 [on disk] KB) long and it seems a bit much to ask anyone to read through all...

Inspired by the small setting thread I got to thinking about the opposite. A setting where the players are all giants. The setting itself would be just as gigantic. As a size comparison, I have a table of giants from different settings below (yes, I'm aware Hill Giants and Fire Giants are...

Is anyone planning on adapting any of the D&D worlds for A5e? Particularly, anything like Mystara, Eberron, or the Forgotten Realms (especially areas like Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, and Maztica)?

Is there any possibility of making it where the Gnolls are not the newest Orcs/Goblins in terms of "it's okay to genocide them!"? Like, PCs may need things to fight, but I'm always bothered when an entry is basically "yes, they can be good but they'll never escape this [insert thing making...

While Heritage, Background, and Destiny have sections for creating your own, Culture does not. Given that not ever culture will fit well on a given world, it'd be useful to have guidelines for it like the others do. As for New Classes and Subclasses, it'd be nice to know how features are...
