    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Pinball Crawl Classics!, Trainted Grail, Circe's Guide to Aeaea, and more

    I know the first instinct for indie filmmakers is going to be sticking her in a horror scenario (Nancy Drew hunting a slasher killer, for example). But now I kind of want someone to turn her into a stereotypical hard-boiled dick in the Tracer Bullet mold. Also, the creators of the RPG seem to...

    There are also supplements like The Sisters of Rapture from Fantastic Gallery or Miss Mycelia's Lewd Handbook, if you want something outright pornographic.

    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    Bringing the Vow of Chastity back, I see, This reminds me of an old homebrew subclass I found I still want to play. Literally "Wedding Vows as Warlock Pact". Wanted to pair it with another one that was very on-theme, to the point that I was surprised they were from different authors. Literally...

    Vagabond TTRPG, opinions?

    Yeah, I'm just going to apply that to ALL Performance checks, including for non-Bards. You have Harmonic Resonance? You can now also sing-cast.

    Vagabond TTRPG, opinions?

    Update: disregard my above posts. Apparently the Singer perk got removed from the game in a recent revision. This is something I am NOT a fan of, by-the-way. A game getting drastic revisions like this, post-release doesn't sit right with me. If it was so against the game's vision that it...

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    Ooh, Brawler. Every combat-heavy game needs a practitioner of good old fisticuffs/kung-fu. I must get around to buying the core book, eventually

    Vagabond TTRPG, opinions?

    They call them "luminaries" here and they don't get the Preform skill, which is a prerequisite for both perks. You'd have to run a human for the free training.

    Vagabond TTRPG, opinions?

    So, I finally picked up the book and am giving it a skim-through. It's very interesting, so far. I even have a build idea, already. There are two perks that seem to stack perfectly: Harmonic Resonance ("You can use a Musical Instrument as a Trinket. When you do, you can Cast with a delivery of...

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    I mean, Infernal Constitution isn't too shabby. Resistance to Fire, Cold, and Poison at Level One is great, if you ask me.

    Vagabond TTRPG, opinions?

    Sadly not. But I found a really good review for it that has me intrigued in picking it up.

    It's the End of the World As We Know It: Apocalyptic Campaign Settings

    Pre-Apocalypse is definitely the common one for me, but that's mostly because my main game is probably Call of Cthulhu, where "the end is nigh, but you might still have a shot at delaying it" is the default. But I chose No Apocalypse, because I'm starting to prefer lower-stakes stories where...
