Link It's not like I'm the only one who's homebrewed a 5e Ranger alternative. So what does this one have going for it? -The same, but improved: The core ranger has a lot going for it. It has a few weaknesses; damage, some annoyingly situational powers, and a lack of a strong theme. In my take...

Link I mean, of course I'd say that, and it's not like I'm the only one who's homebrewed a 5e Ranger alternative. So what does this one have going for it? -The same, but improved: The core ranger has a lot going for it. It has a few weaknesses; damage, some annoyingly situational powers, and a...

An experiment in seeing if the cool mechanics of the warlock can be extrapolated to other classes. Presenting The Hierophant! Link Features: Completely unplaytested! "Benedictions" and "Mystic Revelations" provide warlock-like mechanics without the grimdark warlock taste. No-fuss...

Now in attractive BLOG form! Please stop by and comment if you are interested in hearing more about this topic. New edit for July 2013: This is an old thread, but if you want to see my newest projects, just go to the last page. I always update here whenever I finish painting something. Thanks...

What can you tell us about geeky hobbies that are outside what is commonly considered "geek culture?" By "geek culture", I mean the nexus between hobby gaming and genre fandom, with some overlapping interest in science and technology. By a geeky hobby, I mean a hobby that may seem strange to...

Part 1: The Pedantry "Gamist" does not mean what you likely think it means; that is, it does not mean "like a boardgame," or "reminiscent of a video game." "Gamist" is a term from Ron Edwards' infamous GNS theory and refers to playing a game with the intention of addressing and overcome...

A core Summoner is pretty darn powerful. He and his Eidelon get a suite of flexible powers (spells and evolutions respectively), and their power is multiplied by the expanded action economy. Take away spells, though, and suddenly the Summoner's power is mostly tied up in the Eidelon. One...

I'm wondering what the implications of basing spell DCs off of 1/2 caster level instead of spell level would be. Obviously it makes lower-leveled spells more powerful, but is there anything else I'm missing?

I think I've refined my Spell-less Bard class so that it can be shared. Unplaytested, unplugged, uncensored! Check it out via the download link here (Use the "click here to download from sendspace" link, not any big duplicitous ads that say "click here to start download".). The weirdest thing...

I looked at Stream of the Sky's evaluations of rogue talents and came up with some intuitive and utterly untested suggestions for improving them. I relied on the PfSRD, and since they don't have the Ultimate Combat talents up yet, I couldn't consider them. Otherwise, if I didn't mention a...

A paradox! But one that aptly describes a project I'm working on for Pathfinder. Basically I'm working on taking the spellcasting classes from Pathfinder and replacing standard spells with spell-like and supernatural abilities. Think witch hexes, or oracle revelations, or specialist wizard...

Anyone had a chance to look at this yet? I'm sort of interested in the classes: Are they essentially copy-pasted from the 3e Freeport Companion, or did the designers add some more powers, in the Pathfinder spirit of giving more choices within a class? Rules for gunpowder, ships, and sanity also...

Similar to the recent PDF bundle for Haiti. DWB Pakistan Flood Relief - RPGs [BUNDLE] - OneBookShelf, Inc. | EN World PDF Store In addition to going to an overlooked good cause, there's also some very good stuff in this bundle. The PDFs for Exalted 2e and Spycraft 2e alone are worth the price...

I wasn't gaming any time near the Great Satanic DnD scare of the 80's, but this post by Jerry at Penny Arcade from Friday hit me like a punch in the throat. Read the last half, where he starts to talk about his mom's enthusiasm for PAX, then behold her epiphany.

So I'm soon starting a 7th-Sea-esque d20 campaign with a lot of sailing and piracy and nautical derring-do, and it occurs to me that while the swashbuckling romance of idealized sea-life appeals to me, this land-locked Midwesterner could find himself quite embarrassed when called to improvise...

Double post! Please continue to the next post

Looking to DM a small group, three to five players. We would meet once a week at a time and place to be determined, probably some weekday evening. For preference I would like to run a mod using Mike Mearls' Iron Heroes rules, a variant of core d20 rules, but if not enough people are interested...
