Hiya! Depends entirely on the campaign setting I'm using for it. For my "Genericka" world, 2.5 pages. For my "Greyhawk" campaign, about 10. For my "Paeleen" world, about 60'ish? Maybe more. Oh, and that's all created by me, not using any outside sources; because we don't use any of those 99%...

Hiya! So you've basically told/trained your Players to expect that their PC's won't suffer any serious consequences for their actions. Got it. ;) Seriously though... ;) I'd definitely reverse gears with the whole "The Demon Lord is very VERY cross with you, mister! He's going to write a...

Hiya! Well, ask yourself this: How many things would it take to change 5e into a "1e/2e like game"? Now ask yourself a different question: "What about 5e do you consider a requirement for it to be considered 5e"? Now, the final boss question: "Would it be easier to just go the other way, and...

Hiya! For consideration, I'll just toss in how I've handled Level Drain since the late 80's or very early 90's. Life Energy Levels Every PLAYER CHARACTER (or select NPC's) has a "LEL". It is equal to their Level. When hit by a level drain, that level drain comes from that LEL number. Think...

Hiya! That paycheck tells me at least they are throwing some decent money at it. So that's a potential plus! :) Just as long as the keep all the freaking political jabs out of it and 'social commentary', it might be good. :) Looking forward to hearing more of where the story and characters are...

Er... ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Self-Proclaimed Grognard here... ;) Absolutely. This falls into the Basic books "BE FAIR!" directive. .. The error I have seen DM's make is "It's a door", "It's a door", "It's a door", "It's a door", "It's a slightly purple door with the iron bound straps looking like they were sort of...

Hiya! I think you're onto something here. :) OMG! Talk about a flood of memories from when I was a kid! 🥰 I remember religiously watching those shows. In particular, Grizzly Adams struck a chord that still resonates deep in my soul to this day. It even did with my parents...my brother is named...

Hiya! Metagaming. Some groups don't mind, others do. This would be a "non-thing" in my game; the Giant, unless it is particularly smart or aware of what a familiar was, and could recognize one, would never choose to attack it "because it's giving you advantage". It'd attack it because it chose...

Hiya! I was just going to post my thoughts about this myself. :) I binge watched the season on the 23rd/24th. I also was expecting to see a wide variety of human-types (in every way), and was looking forward to seeing how the producers saw various people. But when watching it...I was honestly...

When did this happen? I haven't noticed...oh, wait. I'm not on social media and I don't have a cell phone. ;) Well, other than on Youtube, but just avoid anything movie/show related until I want to get informed/spoiled. Like the Wheel of Time series. I've avoided everything about it. Just binge...

Hiya! Ability Scores. For the simple fact that, without them, nothing else 'fits'...the exception being XP, but only for 3.x onward (prior, higher Ability Scores granted a bonus to XP gained). As time goes on, they COULD slowly change all the other 'mechanics' listed, bit by bit...and once...

Hiya! Oh, I forgot one more I watch: Luke Towan ( https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeTowan/videos ). This guy is pretty amazing if you ask me! :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Yeah, hit up Youtube and look for "modeling diorama". You'll have a rabbit hole to last you months! ...uh... sorry?... ;) My top three: (1) "Night Shift" ( https://www.youtube.com/c/NightShiftScaleModels ) (2) "Wyloch's Armoury" ( https://www.youtube.com/c/WylochsCraftingVids/videos )...

Hiya! Once again... HM4e Players Handbook, pg 98, "Quirk Descriptions (Personality): Multiple Personality Disorder". Also, IF YOU ARE A CERTIFIED HACKMASTER GM!!!, suggestions on how to run it (GMG pg 68). Do that. :) For those poor souls who don't yet know the perfection of Hackmaster 4th...

Hiya! Erasing, yes. But adding on, manipulating and using for inspiration to create a unique fantasy "culture", all with a base-line of some single culture (Inca, in this example) ...no. Nothing I see wrong with that at all. That's how pretty much everything creative is made; take ideas...

Hiya! Different strokes and all that I think. :) Me and my group LOVED OA (assuming you mean "Oriental Adventures", for 1e...right?) when it came out. We played it for about 4 or 5 years more or less straight. Some of the most memorable PC's, situations and campaign that I ever ran or was a...

I just read this, and without knowing where you're coming from, I thought... "Ooo...cool! I could get into a world like that. Inca as the baseline, with variations from other areas/cultures...neat..." I hope you were pointing this out as a "good thing" and not a "bad thing". Because it got my...

Hiya! Thinking a bit more "mundane"... how about "line the inside of the Quiver with the cloth from the coat of a Leprechaun". Not sure why, but that was the first thing that popped into my mind for some reason. Extradimensional critters are so passé! ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! YEARS ago I did a Harn/HarnMaster mini-campaign. Because none of them knew the system and I didn't want to make them "read a bunch of history books" (face it, a lot of Harn seems like doing homework until you start to get into the whole setting/system...), I just sat them down, told them...
