    Boss Monster ...over $200K and ending today!

    Alright, ENWorld. I have four reasons you should check out Boss Monster: 1. It's the creation of a longtime member of this forum. 2. It's Hellcow-approved. 3. It just became the #1 funded card game project of all time on Kickstarter. 4. It might have just a couple of references that the average...

    Boss Monster: the Retro-Inspired Dungeon-Building Card Game

    As a longtime D&D player and member of this community, I want to share a project that I think a lot of folks here will enjoy. It's a Kickstarter project called Boss Monster: Master of the Dungeon and it launches tomorrow, October 18. Boss Monster is inspired by retro gaming in every sense of...

    D&D 5E Alternative crit chart for 5e

    Having now performed some playtesting, I'll say that this chart worked really well. It's hard to say that and not sound biased, of course, but here's how it played out in my game. - As recommended, we only used it for the PCs, so it barely slowed down play. (Only 5% more rolling than...

    Has anyone broken down Races and Classes?

    These are helpful, thanks for summarizing! Has anyone tried to "remix" any of the existing pregen characters? In my upcoming playtest, I will probably have five players. If any of the PCs dies, it would be nice to have a new PC to bring in, as opposed to just resurrecting the same character...

    D&D 5E Alternative crit chart for 5e

    Ha, good point. Though it could be argued that if you think the game is missing something, playtesting a tweak is a way to provide feedback. For example, even the official articles have suggested things like playing without themes, or adjusting rest times. I intend to tweak some of the at-will...

    D&D 5E Alternative crit chart for 5e

    From my initial playtest of 5e, I found its use of 4e crit rules to be a little boring. While I never loved the potential letdown of roll-to-confirm in 3.5, crits feel too mundane when you know what will happen every time. The next time I play, I will be trying the following crit charts. NPCs...
