[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 7997194, member: 6761960"] Natum Go is a character designer from Indonesia who highlights Asian characters, stories and themes through their artwork. And they design RPG material too! Their D&D 5e Sorcerous Origin, Ancient Curse, is a particularly clever twist on the folk tales of ancestral curses that ensure certain doom. This sorcerer subclass draws power from the curse they were born with to try to thwart fate. The Cursed Self feature manages to be both a curse and a blessing on the first attack roll, ability check and saving throw rolled each day, and there is a plethora of curse-themed powers that the sorcerer gains as it goes up the levels (including access to a limited number of warlock spells). It doesn't seem overpowered or underpowered, and is dripping with flavour. Best of all, there are two versions of the file, one with designer's notes (for optimization of play) and one without (for hardcore players I guess). [URL unfurl="true"]https://natumgo.itch.io/sorcerer-ancientcurse[/URL] Their single-player introspection game, You Hold The Thread, is about examining choices made in the past and thinking about alternative events that could have resulted from different choices. It works particularly well if you have diary entries or old social media posts to reference.
