    D&D 5E Almost at the end of Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    I hope you enjoy your next campaign! My players have liked Empire of the Ghouls thus far, although I've been adding additional Kobold Press content because I enjoy Midgard so much, so the campaign has meandered a bit. I implemented Uncharted Journeys from Cubicle 7 in a pointcrawl structure for...

    D&D 5E Demonology Domain-Thoughts?

    I really like the flavor of the subclass, and interesting to watch your design evolve based on feedback. Had a few questions about sharing your awesome design; Are you going to be posting this anywhere as a product or do you mind if I repost the text and credit you with a link to your profile...

    The Use (or Abuse) of Animal Companions

    I’m not sure exactly what system you’re playing, but most other replies seem to be assuming 5e or something similar. If not then disregard my advice below: For my games I personally feel the MCDM Beastheart provides really helpful animal companion rules, a long list of bespoke animal companion...

    D&D 5E Adapting the Warlock Chassis for other Classes

    Unfortunately it's not a martial example, but you are definitely correct that the Warlock is a highly adaptable mechanical design. The example I'm thinking of is the Dungeon Dudes' Apothecary class contained in Sebastian Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim. It's available in pdf from Ghostfire Games...

    Play Something Else

    I've been thinking a lot about this, looking through my OSR-clone PDFs and examining more modern-influenced RPGs like Shadowdark, Shadow of the Demon Lord, and 13th Age. I really think the catalyst for me over the past few months was thinking a lot about the MCDM RPG and how I might transition...

    Level Up (A5E) A List of Planes in Planestrider's Journal

    I'm getting excited for this! Even if I weren't to adopt the cosmology wholesale, I love having more and varied concepts for other planes, and locations that I can add to the more generic ones like the Elemental. Hope the campaign goes well when it kicks off.

    D&D (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

    No at least initially. Maybe once the dust settles and I have the chance to hear some outside opinions and the books go on sale!

    D&D (2024) WotC Reveals The Confirmed Release Dates of 2024's D&D Slate

    Probably an uncommon approach for many fans on this platform, but I'm definitely planning on a wait and see approach to the upcoming core books. Getting into the RPG hobby and buying the 2014 core books only a couple years ago hasn't diminished my personal enjoyment of the game, so I'll probably...

    Level Up (A5E) Planestrider's Journal: A New Cosmology for 5E & A5E!

    My initial thought when I heard about this project was that it was more Planescape-adjacent with Spelljammer elements, but perhaps my initial read was wrong and it's actually the reverse. Are the 30 planes then better understood as worlds to be visited similar to Spelljammer or as other worlds...

    The Rise And Fall Of Evil Genius Games

    Really interesting and well done article. Thanks for all your effort and balanced insights on this. It brought up a thought to me about 2CGaming, which had some major Kickstarter successes and partnerships with major creator's like WebDM and Venture Maidens, but seems to have faced a financial...
