I released the SRDs for Crafting Heritages and Cultures and Crafting Personalised feats. These are available as free downloads and are under creative commons licence. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/477307/homebrew-and-hacking-system-reference-documents I did this so that others could...

Back today! I'm pretty pleased with getting this into shape to hit delivery at close of funding on Monday 8pm GMT/ 3pm EST / 12pm PST. The art is gorgeous, the layout delightful and I've got an incredible 85 or so pages of fully costed and organised traits. This is good. :)

Hope there's some interest in random culture generation. I split culture into trappings and traits. Traits are pretty easy. The trappings are a bit harder. Currently we have: origin myths deities geographical influence festivals and calenders fashion art family and childcare organisation of...

Hi, I don't post here often but I am bringing out a book which will let you make your own heritages, cultures, backgrounds and feats which will be balanced with existing official material. The first edition was very well recieved but there's been a lot of developments in 5e (like a new...

See the original at: Classes and Classifications: Berserkers Classes and Classifications: Berserkers Introduction This essay builds off the definitions found in Classes and Classifications I: Definitions and will look at how the berserker class is supposed to work and which role it fits best...

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...

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...

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...

As per title. Let me explain in the post. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2024/02/16/you-dont-hate-exploration-you-hate-survival/ (Can we have a blog entry tag?)

A talented designer is doing a design or two and has asked me questions. I thought it would be fun to make it someone else's problem as I'm going to do whatever anyway, but there's a Wisdom to crowds!

With an upgraded offering which includes: Mixed island and coastal terrain encounter tables Upgraded and customised travel scenery and exploration details At least one Magic ship A gazetteer style culture Pre gen characters Perfect to make the leap from running 5e to running A5e or, even...

Well that's nice. I've launched my Kickstarter. :) If you want to get playing rather than prepping I think you'll be very pleased with the proposal. There's a lot of cool art and cool rules and I'm just pretty pleased with it already. :)...

A rules as written Tiefling Warlock https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/453833 The second level for that half elf fighter. (I'm pleased with the cover!) Bit more ostentatious but gets stuff done. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/453899

So Graeme Barber did a great set of posts about gaming on (and under) the high seas (not just pirates) and A5e is very much the easy way to implement this. Inspiring thread https://dice.camp/@pocgamer/111087453930953110 Article 1 - reasons to run an aquatic campaign and the pirate problem...

Worlds To-Go: The Elysians If you want to add a bit of Ancient Greece to your game, then you can check it out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebrewandhacking/worlds-to-go-the-elysians With supporting blog post for more detail...

Hasbro is moving to online only, in essence. This will mean that many new role-players won't actually ever have played a game where they've had to use pen and paper. I thought I'd write a bit about that what with having spent time teaching adults very hard things and teaching players new...

I have strong opinions on making character sheets and how they help people learn and understand your game. https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/08/02/character-sheet-design-as-user-interface-ii-practical-results/ Part I is here...
