    For those of you who have set up play-by-post games, how do you do it?

    I brought up the idea to my friends last night, since we all want to game more but don't have the ability to coordinate a second date and time. They're all interested. We haven't settled on a game yet (since this was just last night) but I got a lot of interest when I talked up the game I'm...

    Do you guys pay attention to poison and potion onset times?

    So I recently (finally) read through the Without Numbers games, and I kinda want to play them. Specifically Worlds Without Numbers, but using my own setting. I'll probably end up playing them solo (using something like Mythic) because my friends aren't too into OSR games and anyway, I don't...

    Looking for a particular... pdf?

    I remember seeing this thing where someone had made a list of fake monsters done in the style of the 1e Monster Manual table of contents. The monsters were possibly created by a neural network? I know I downloaded them because the monsters were cool and I wanted to maybe draw them. Now I can't...

    Level Up (A5E) Help! What does the bandit captain want his young recruit to do in the city!

    Due to Reasons, I haven't done nearly enough prep and game is just hours away. One of the PCs, a rogue, picked the Marauder background. Last session, which due to Other Reasons, was two weeks ago, he said that he was going to go back to his captain and get orders. His backstory was that he and...

    Level Up (A5E) Mountebank 3rd level feature question

    But do you still get a bonus action and/or reaction? PCs just hit 3rd level, so I gotta know.

    Level Up (A5E) What to put on a cheat sheet?

    I'm going to be starting a game in just two weeks for people who have no prior experience with LU--just with 5e. I'm going to put together a cheat sheet of some differences and some of the new rules for them. Other than the additional actions and the basic maneuvers, things do you think should...

    What's the term for these type of RPGs?

    I've bought a bunch of charity RPGs bundles on Itch.io and have finally organized the games I've downloaded neatly into folders--and am now facing the daunting task of actually reading all thousand+ games. In order to make myself do it, I'm writing short reviews for my group's discord, on the...

    Level Up (A5E) So. Permanency, the spell.

    Those of us who have had experience with earlier editions of D&D should remember the spell permanency. I have no idea if they made a version of this spell for 4th edition, but it certainly isn't in 5th. Thus, I've decided to recreate it. The 2nd edition version can be found here, and the 3rd...

    Level Up (A5E) The Cackler Warlock archetype from Planestrider's

    This is kuru as a warlock patron. Which begs the question, what other diseases can be made into interesting patrons, or archetypes for other classes? Cancer with body manipulation and possible eventual immortality? The common cold with the ability to infect people and turn them into your...

    Level Up (A5E) Adventure Advice Request: What does the eldritch abomination pretending to be a human ask the PCs to do?

    Yeah, so I'm being bad because I've become totally focused on a minuscule subplot that has a large chance of not even being picked up, but... The setting: mostly city-based, Victorian-flavored. In the background, they've discovered and are in the process of colonizing another plane of...

    Level Up (A5E) Thoughts on readjusting prices for games with less treasure?

    So the campaign I'm working on is set in a pseudo-Victorian setting and will be mostly city-based. There's not going to be a lot of monsters the PCs can kill and take their stuff--although I won't be surprised if they decide to start stealing from the nobility, since it looks like four out of...

    Level Up (A5E) Any more urban exploration challenges?

    I own Stranger Sights, so I have the ones in there. But I'm planning a city campaign and would love some more. I'll probably make some more myself as I need them, but pre-made ones are always great.

    For those of you with ADHD, how do you organize your campaigns?

    I normally do standalone adventures without much of an overarching plot. But my players are really looking forward to my running more of a real game with such an arc. Worldbuilding is easy, but organizing NPCs, factions, background events going off, chains of events... well, there's a reason I...

    Level Up (A5E) A Leveled-Up Bestiary: Volume Two

    Welp, I'm back. Or I will be. Starting with the New Year's, I will once again go back to converting old (A)D&D monsters from Dragon Magazine, and eventually from other source as well. Not quite as often as I used to; I'm going to try for once or twice a week this time around. I'm currently...

    D&D General Vote Up a 5e-Alike: Fighter Draft 2, plus Archetypes (and a poll)

    What's New New maneuvers--hopefully adding maneuvers to cover some of the missing areas that @Tonguez mentioned--and a few other changes. If you made a suggestion and I didn't address it in the comments or it's not included here, chances are I missed the suggestion or just forgot. Please...

    D&D General Vote up a 5e-Alike: Ancestries! (First Draft)

    OK, so I'm still working on those maneuvers and revamping the fighter, I swear! To tide you over until then, here's the first draft of the chosen ancestries. I'm looking forward to your ideas and criticisms. Let me know if any of these guys are OP (or UP). FYI: a few of the ideas in here are...
