The PCs are surveyors (pathfinders, you might say), who are trying to find a safe path for the artillery. This is less of a plot hole and more of a "Well, this is screwed; also we need to get off this river before the ice shatters under us!" situation. Alright friends, next up is the adventure...

Hey friends! I'm so sorry that I haven't done much with this thread over the last few weeks - there was some illness, a birthday, and a Comic-Con in there, and I got a little derailed. This week, I'd like to take a look at the next adventure in this book, Guns of Dorchester. So, right after...

Alright, let's get into the next couple of chapters! Chapter 5 is titled Gamemaster's Tools and it does what it says on the tin. It's a great chapter, and one of the most-valuable chapters in the book, for my money. It starts with outlining a few basic requisitions packages that the PCs can...

Hello friends! I've been running Cyberpunk RED pretty much since the OGL Crisis, but every now and then something 5E related catches my eye. In this case, it's The American Crisis: War In The North from the team over at Flagbearer Games. It's designed to work with their 5E Early Modern Era...

So my issue here is that it sends a completely different message to players: "Man, this guy has a lot of hit points!" What I'm looking for is a "WTF???" reaction that makes them worried. This is a game that's been running for over a year; I'd prefer to apply to the monsters (to playtest it)...

I guess I'm confused by your feedback. This is something I'm applying to a monster, not a PC.

I thought so, too. When I saw it in Cyberpunk RED, I thought, "Hello, old friend." And because it ablates with damage, it creates a death spiral for the bad guy. You can act with impunity up front, but once you start getting worn down, it's time for the pain train, baby.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

Oh, learning the spell is absolutely not on the table. This is a consumed scroll from Ye Olden Times that this wizard is using. And yeah, he would be the equivalent of a level 20 wizard. Can I ask where the 15.5 damage assumption came from? As to the power of the spell you pointed out...

Wanted to do something interesting for some of my bad guys, and I thought about borrowing Cyberpunk-style armor for a D&D bad guy. Mechanically, armor in Cyberpunk doesn't make you harder to hit, it makes you harder to hurt. Armor's Stopping Power (SP) reduces the damage you take. When damage...

Option 2 works especially well if you make Grimnir into our world, and the PCs are some of the last evacuees from the last world Muspell devoured (at level 1). Make the Baendur the original inhabitants, and you've got like three different major fault lines to exploit for conflicts.

Please do! Let me know how it goes; I'm considering a remix on the whole campaign that makes it more open-ended, so your input would be helpful there. :)

Honestly, man, I'm just glad it's done. Reasonable people can disagree on whether or not to run the adventure, which is why I don't say "You shouldn't play this." But I don't want particularly want to keep reviewing material that doesn't interest me. The idiosyncrasies in the material are a...

True, but to be fair, that's a gender-neutral exchange. The whole thing happens if you have male Hawke under the same circumstances. Agreed! Hey Sword, it sounds like you're OK with patching some of the problems I've identified. That doesn't make them not problems, and that doesn't mean I...

Alright, the next chapter is called the Stone Court. For those of you who forgot, the Stone Court are the gods of Grimnir, petrified and trapped in stone by Boda's perfidious treachery ages and ages ago...yada, yada, yada. Boda's been busy while the heroes saved the sun and all - she's using an...
