Setting: Psign (homebrew) Humans only, but this is not Earth. Modern technology or better (guns, cars, cell phones, airplanes, cybernetics, robots). Psionics (and alchemists which are considered psionic), but no other spellcasters. Magic items (considered psionic). Some undead, and constructs...

The Burning Arc spell (from Humans of Golorian) would fill a gap in an evoker's spell list. There are a number of second level fire attack spells but most are hard to use effectively or don't scale with level. From the example it's clear that the Targets line should read Targets one primary...

Narciso ‘Narc’ Trentson, human witch 7, LN Narsius ‘Narc’ Trentson is 5’6” tall, age 19, with his blond hair and tan skin. He is friendly but sometimes seems lost in his own thoughts. He is the only son of a minor human nobleman, Lord Charles Roland Trentson, and Beatrice Trentson. When he...

Notes:

"What I still don't understand" Sir Rand declared "is why the king didn't make us the Wardens. Who is better suited than those knights who have long defended the place?" Dame Ann Winter felt the same way, but there was no use in complaining about such things. She dug into the magically...

This idea is somewhat experimental, but could be interesting. 2nd level, Pathfinder, 4 PCs The PCs are in charge of a small fort (Fort Pierre) and nearby town. Each PC will hold an official title, which will be determined based on the class and background. The fort will be besieged by an army...

We be Licktoads! We make raid! Put the longshanks to the blade! Burn them up from feet to head, Make them hurt, then make them dead! Cut the parents into ham, Smush the babies into jam, All the rest in pot get stewed, We be Licktoads - you be food! You are goblins of the Licktoad tribe, who...

You are goblins of the Licktoad tribe, who live deep in Brinestump Marsh, south of the hated man-town called Sandpoint. Once, other goblins tried to burn Sandpoint down, and they would have been legends if they had succeeded. But they didn’t bring enough fire, and got themselves killed as a...

So, people who've tried the 5E playtest have enjoyed it. Also, many of the playtest DMs are highly experienced and skilled. Does that mean the system is good, or would any game run by those DMs be enjoyable?

If magic is to stimulate the imagination, it must be more than just another power source for doing the same things as everyone does. Here's my list of what magic should be able to do: - affect people's minds Charm and compulsion spells, love potions, mind reading, and modifying someone's...

D&D 3.5 ed, level 11 32 point buy 66k gp hp = max 1st level then average-rounded-up for each additional level (so d10 = 6, etc.) Most WotC 3.5 ed sources should be OK. For all non-SRD items, if I don't have access to it, I may ask you to explain it fully and I may veto it. I may need to impose...

To the inhabitants of war-torn Oerth, the spellcaster Iggwilv is a footnote to history, an adviser and facilitator to greater evils. They forget that Iggwilv — master of demons, mistress of Graz’zt, and mother of Iuz — conquered an entire region with her potent spells and demonic minions. Even...

The early morning sun streams in brightly through the large windows throughout the Temple of Pelor, even in this rather isolated wing. Father Jared waits quietly, praying, near the orrery with its planets slowly revolving around the small golden sun. The far door opens, and a man enters...

I'm planning to DM my first mid-level PF game (ToH in the PBP forum). So far I have a few house rules. I'd like to know what you think of them and also whether there are other significant things that need fixing that I should be aware of. Thanks. House Rules: - A wizard can choose at 1st level...

9th level, Pathfinder standard races (Bestiary races may be allowed) 20 point buy hp = max 1st level then average-rounded-up for each additional level (so d10 = 6, etc.) 50k gp 2 traits sources: Any Paizo in the online SRD. Non-Paizo sources that are in the SRD may be allowed on a case by case...

So I'm currently between games as a PBP DM. I'm mulling an idea for a human-centered high-technology high-magic homebrew world but that's not ready yet. So for a little 'light diversion' I might like to run the infamous old school killer dungeon. Every DM thinks about it ... I've never played...

It is early evening when Jiles Du'Lamir arrives in Granville. Granville is a small town; not quite a one-horse town, but close. As Jiles passes the locals, he sees only humans here - not a single halfling, dwarf or elf. He knows this sort of town only too well. It's the sort of town where the...

I'm considering starting a solo (one player, plus the DM) game for the new year. I think that format could allow for a faster and more involved game. OTOH it requires that we play well together over a long time. If I feel that I find a good fit, I'll probably go with it. I won't accept the...

I'm just toying with an idea for a campaign setting: D&D, but with humans as the only intelligent race, and with modern-level or somewhat premodern technology. The technology wouldn't be exactly the same as on Earth because it would be fully integrated with magic. Automobiles might run on...

What do you think of these? Minor Cleric Training prerequisite: Wis 11+, Knowledge (religion) 2 ranks You can prepare and cast two zero-level cleric spells per day (DC 10 + Wis bonus) with a caster level of 1. Special: If you later gain a level of cleric, you can swap this for another feat. If...
