    Anyone else backed Dragonbane?

    I'm liking it a lot so far from the Beta pdfs and Quickstart - love the Scandi art, but the big thing is that it takes BRP/Runequest and removes all the fiddly bits that bug me, while adding a lot of cool stuff. It sits kind of between Runequest/Magic World and 5e D&D, with a Scandi overlay -...

    WoTC/OGL - Is a Downfall meme allowed?

    I know some references aren't allowed. Am I allowed to post a 'Downfall' meme referencing WoTC and OGL 1.1?

    How long do we wait for WoTC to speak?

    I think this specific question is best detached from the more general threads. I have a friend with a team of writers working on a big 3PP Kickstarter/publication, planned to be for 5e using the OGL. She and the team, with my advice, are now working on a non-OGL version. But I suggested that...

    D&D 5E Yuan-Ti PCs?

    What's your opinion on allowing Yuan-Ti PCs using the Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse version? Do you think they're overpowered compared to other PC races? I felt the Volo's version was overpowered with both magic resistance & poison immunity; the newer version has poison resistance...

    D&D 5E Reducing 5e XP after 10th level

    My latest 5e campaign (set in Damara/Blodstone Lands, 1359 DR) is a multi-group sandbox game which started in August 2020. I use standard 5e XP with a lot of lower CR monsters, which gives a rather sedate advancement rate. Currently PCs are in the 3rd-6th range (I currently start new PCs at...

    Players establishing facts about the world impromptu during play

    at 20:44 - what do you think of players establishing facts about the world impromptu (spontaneously, not pre-approved) during play? Players, do you feel happy & confident doing this? GMs, do you enjoy this or dislike it? As a GM I love it when players do it well, and dread it when players do it...

    D&D 5E Perma Death in 5e?

    What do you think are some of the best ways under 5e rules for an evil level 20 Wizard (who might be called Runelord Karzoug) with near-unlimited resources to ensure the permanent demise of slain & Disintegrated level 20 PCs (whose surviving comrades also have access to level 9 magic, including...

    D&D 5E Underpowered INT solution - Bonus Skill Proficiencies for high INT

    Forked from the CHA thread, a bit of early morning design work. Thoughts? Polite, respectful & friendly criticism? :D Bonus Skill Proficiencies for high INT A PC may begin play with a number of additional skill proficiencies from their class skill list equal to their INT bonus. ie 12-13 = +1...

    So my Kit arrived this morning on the second delivery attempt, and after downloading an app to read the bar code thingy, and creating an account, I got onto D&D Beyond. Only to discover that the promised extra adventures don't seem to be downloadable? Is this right - adventures on D&D Beyond...

    D&D 5E 5e recommended 2.5 sessions/level rate

    What do you think of the 5e DMG's recommended 2.5 sessions/level rate? How do you think it compares to using the XP system, which seems designed to keep PCs in the level 5-10 range as long as possible? After several campaigns using XP RAW, for my Thule game I've been using a modified system...

    Starfinder Starfinder Beginner Box - House Rules! E4, Chargen, Combat

    So my SFBB arrived this morning, and while it looks fantastic, naturally I'm already set to tweaking it. These modifications are the fruit of a lot of play in other d20 based systems though, so I have a fair idea now what works. Simon's Starfinder Beginner Box House Rules Epic-4 Rules module...

    5e Capping AC and to hit

    After a few years running 5e at high level I think AC needs to be capped at 30, equivalent to -10 which was an official cap in some pre-3e editions. Looking at to-hit, a cap is less vital but I have decided to cap at +20 so that AC 30 is always a good defence. It is a lot easier to get AC into...
