I'm sad that none of my favorites made it into the top 10. I guess my tastes have evolved too much away from the mainstream in the direction of story games..

I nominate Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast by Possum Creek Games and Cowboy Bebop the RPG by Mana Project Studio

Since Avatar Legends, The One Ring 2E, and Cy_Borg were already mentioned, here are my nominations: The Wildsea RPG by Ray Chou (was supposed to release this year but got delayed) Salvage Union by Leyline Press (delivery is December 2022, but hopefully still counts)

Original Dungeons and Dragons 44 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 49 Basic Dungeons and Dragons 51 B/X Dungeons and Dragons 50 BECMI Dungeons and Dragons 54 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, 2nd Edition 48 Dungeons & Dragons, Rules Cyclopedia Edition 50 Classic Dungeons & Dragons 49 Dungeons &...

Have you taken a look at Into the Unknown? It's a really cool OSR-like game built on 5e mechanics Into the Unknown - Book 1: Characters - O5R Games | Into the Unknown | DriveThruRPG.com

I like the idea since it allows for more diverse character concept (the charismatic barbarian, the strong monk, the intelligent fighter, ...) without making you feel like you're not making full use of your class abilities. It also mostly solves the problem of racial stat bonuses pushing players...

Here are mine: Berserker: The exhaustion caused by Frenzy is removed by a short rest. (rationale: current version is needlessly punishing, but removing it entirely also gets rid of the flavor.) Champion: Your maximum hit points are increased by 1 per level. In addition, Remarkable Athlete...

This actually sound really close to what D&D already provides. The Wheel of Time is one of the few settings where all the high-level magic of D&D doesn't feel out of place at all (except perhaps for resurrection magic). This makes me wonder how feasible it would be to reflavour a few aspects of...

Unearthed Arcana has an option that seems to be intended to fix the math of 4E monk: It's a bit boring as far as fixes go, but it does help a lot with keeping up the damage compared to other monks. Alternatively, my favorite "simple" fix is to simply reduce the cost of all elemental abilities...

Very cool idea, though I'd allow players to use point buy with a greatly reduced total (say 9 points instead of the usual 27) to allow for some more diversity at level 1. Another idea to reinforce the zero-to-hero feeling would be to let the maximum for each ability score scale with level as...

There's a cool supplement on the DM's guild that gives sidekick statblocks for all kinds of animals: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/293883/Animal-Sidekicks I'm hoping to use it in one of my games in the future.

It's unlikely you'll find any good creatures in Avernus. It is one of the nine layers of hell, after all. Or that was my first thought upon reading the title of this thread, at least.

I believe this would be very exploitable as a source of temporary HP before the start of a battle, especially when combined with efficient out-of-combat healing such as healing spirit, prayer of healing, goodberry, or even just hit dice. If you intend it to be used as a source of in-combat...

Here's all the information we have right now: Fria Ligan | News I'd say it's best to wait until they announce what new books they will bring out.

1. 5e tries to simplify and consolidate many elements of previous editions, which is why you won't see many lesser/greater versions of the same spell like in 3.5. Likewise many similar spells have been combined into one. This makes things easier to remember and run at the table, at the cost of...

Did you know there's a full 70-page supplement that was recently released on the DM's Guild that does exactly this? It is great and I'll probably use it in my next game: Ancestry & Culture: An Alternative to Race in 5e - Arcanist Press | DriveThruRPG.com Edit: If you want to get it, it is...

I've received mine already! The production values are very high as expected from Fria Ligan, though the box feels a bit empty. I hope I'll get the opportunity to play it soon.

Actually, an even better solution is to roll 1d12 and 2d6 and take the lowest result, which has an average of 5.01 according to anydice: AnyDice I doubt you will be able to find anything closer than that.

Roll 3d6 and drop the highest is perfect for this: AnyDice

Against the Tarrasque, AC 21 will help you exactly as much as AC 10. Maybe your DM is just not using the right enemies? ;)
