    Building a Kid-Friendly RPG – Need Help Brainstorming Archetypes

    My son’s about at the age where he can start learning to play RPGs, so I’ve been thinking about designing a game from scratch to run for him and his friends. The idea is to keep things light and cinematic, an all-ages action-adventure game that runs on the rule of cool. I’m using a role...

    D&D General [Workshopping] The New Beatifics (or replacing Eladrin in the Outer Planar order)

    I'd like to construct a new group of Chaotic Good exemplars, so that I can shuffle off the Eladrin to the Feywild completely. My unifying theme is human-like beings with animal features, but not furries. The candidates I have so far are: Swanmay Actaeon Lillend Asura Any ideas?

    Marvel and DC lose their specious trademark on the term Super Hero

    https://bleedingcool.com/comics/us-court-states-marvel-dc-lost-super-hero-trademark/ I'd say this is of interest to a lot of RPG companies doing supers games. 😁

    D&D General Lowest level of magic that still "feels like D&D"

    Where do you think you can cap magic and still have a game that feels like a D&D world? My intuition says 5th level magic, beyond that seems more of the same, but more powerful. Any thoughts?

    Level Up (A5E) Culture names without Heritage references

    For various reasons I want to remove the direct reference to heritages in some of the culture names, so far this is what I have: Deep Dwarf Duergar Deep Gnome Svirfneblin Forest Gnome Knook High Elf Hill Dwarf Kithbáin Halfling Mountain Dwarf Mustbairn Halfling Shadow Elf Drow Stoic Orc...

    D&D 5E Repurposing Strixhaven as Arcanix in Eberron

    I've began, in earnest, a project to embed the material in Strixhaven into a more Eberron friendly form. Using a template I snagged from hearden over on reddit, I've started with your fellow Arcanix students. :)

    D&D General Crown Chimeras

    I don't have meddlesome gods in my setting (religion is closer to the Eberron model), but I want to include some major figures that serve a somewhat similar role (something akin to 13th Age Icons). What I settled on were unique dragon+X beings I'm calling Crown Chimeras. I need some help with...

    D&D General A Curated Cantina

    I'm putting together a homebrew world with a tight elemental theme, and want to have a limited number of humanoid species. These are to be the heritages for PCs and primary antagonists as well. They are presented with species name, poetic byname, and affinity. For example, Human - Childer of the...

    Level Up (A5E) Level Up Playtest 1: Gnomes

    Got a chance to look over the playtest a little bit and thought I'd comment on the gnome section. :) As has been pointed out, if you choose Gnomish Agility, and a non-magical culture, this isn't really the case. More on that later. I know this is following after the base game, but I think...

    TSR Rob Kuntz Recounts The Origins Of D&D

    In this interesting article from Kotaku, Rob Kuntz relates a history of early TSR that differs somewhat from the narrative we usually hear. It delves into the relationship between Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson (D&D's co-creators) and the actual development of the game, which dates back to Arneson...

    Harmony of the Spheres: an Eberron Centric Cosmogony

    In celebration of the thirteenth day of the month, I thought I'd present my idea of how a native of Eberron might view the origins of a potential cross-over cosmology: In a time before time, there existed three great dragons Syberis, Khyber and Eberron. Each was the master of its own domain...
