Yeah, I still get this: It is the same in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Morrus?

I'm not sure if it's useful for you, but in EN Publishing's Adventures in ZEITGEIST, we have the Gadgeteer, a fighter subclass that gets limited use gadgets. The idea was to make Batman, basically. https://a5e.tools/node/3726

I don't think I agree with that. For Andor to land right, you need to show the banality of the bureaucratic side of the evil empire, and show how normal it seems to so many people, rather than everything being high stakes and high speed. It grinds down people's will to resist. But then amid...

All the cells in your body get replaced every 7 years (or so goes the myth). So he's not the same man who killed the younglings? :D So far my take is that it needs tighter editing. There's too much time wasted repeating exposition to new characters, or splitting up conversations into two or...

Inspiration from Ghost of Tsushima Legends: Paired blood-sucking undead which cannot die unless both are disabled, and damage one undead does heals its twin. Monsters with odd taboos, like legless ravenous undead trailing their entrails behind them as they scamper about on their hands, who...

A priest whose friend committed suicide is distraught, and makes a commandment meant to stabilize the health of anyone who injures themselves. It only could only be applied to a single person at a time, but a priest could link it to someone he feared might harm themselves, to protect them...

One starting place is "stuff a bronze age society would want to disappear. So swarms, certainly. Maybe a lot of unclean water and waste, ew. Rocks surrounding precious ores. Also I'd expect a lot of undead from people who went missing and starved in the Consequence.

TL;DR - in a bronze age city-state, sometimes poorly worded magic spells 'glitch' and shunt nearby people and objects into a demiplane of loosely linked motes of reality. What sorts of weird stuff could the party find in there. (This thread is loosely linked to an earlier one: D&D General -...

I was in Tokyo last November and actually found one of three theaters in the city with English subtitles. It was only me, my wife, and one other guy in the theater. But I loved it. I have a friend here in the states who watched in last week, but she's not a Japanophile, and she watched the...

The heist happened tonight. The party did a lot of scouting, first at a wedding, then by sneaking around on the roof, and by using magical disguises to make friends with some of the priests, and by speaking with animals to learn from the rats and birds that lived in and around the temple. Over...

I preferred PF1 paladins: Point at a guy. Say you're gonna take 'em down. Now your attacks get a bonus to hit and damage until that person goes down. (And you bypass any damage resistances they have.) The thing is, 5e lets you go from a sword dealing d8+4 to like 5d8+4. That's a pretty huge...

I think it's okay to just remind players out of character at any point of a session things you think their characters ought to know that might affect their choices. Good luck.

Good luck with your game. Please share whatever disasters occur!

When we published this adventure, I did not actually get a chance to play test it, and it wasn't until 2018 That I found an opportunity to use the Ursaliña section in a Pathfinder game, reskinned as a dark elf City where psychic monsters were causing trouble. And yeah, some of the players were...

Two years later, the Planestrider's Journal has a savant archetype linked to the Far Realm, the eldritch mentalist. A sample ability: Psychic Combat At 2nd level, you gain one of the following new savant tricks. Any savant can take these tricks. Ego Whip Flourish. When you hit a creature...

I basically designed the subclass for a friend of mine who likes making talk-y PCs who can win without having to beat people up. The challenge was making sure you still have stuff you can do when you're facing non-language-using foes, but hopefully the core savant chassis helps with that.

I ran a Pathfinder campaign with a party of four paladins, and I tried to make it a compelling analysis of what it even means to 'do good,' and how that interacts with prejudice and systems of oppression. Not every foe is a demon summoner; some are poor gnolls who just want to have access to the...
