    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Hey Arcanist amigo! Not as far as I know, I just brainstormed hundreds of spell names, then whittled the numbers down so I had at least 10-15 epic spells of Levels 10-20 for each caster class. That's one for the Druid class. So any similarity to existing spells is purely coincidental. But...

    Well thematically, Yggrasil (in my kosmology) represents the brain of the aeon/sentient universe and linked to Hyperspace - with branches a bit like nerve endings. Full Aeons (Divine Rank 22) would be CR 100. Demiurges (partial Aeons) 88-96. So for an awakened Yggdrasil, likely something in...

    Hey Apollyon buddy. Some crazy ones, they get meta in the high 40's. My two favourites are a 16th level spell and a 52nd level spell. But lots of cool ones.

    Hey Arcanist Amigo! :) Fire away! Pralaya can be seen as the wife of the Supreme Being (the Creator). She is the "Destroyer". Maha-Pralaya might be a higher dimensional version of Lorraine Williams. :giggle: 50/50. I think I'll have the book "finished" by the end of the month, but...

    D&D General Edition Design Philosophies as Seen Through Magic Items

    You can easily tie the Bloodied condition to the more severe aspects of items (or spells). Sharpness effect: A natural 20 against a Bloodied target severs a random appendage (no confirmation required). Roll 1d12: 1 = Head severed 2-4 = Left Arm severed 5-7 = Right Arm severed 8 = Torso...

    Yes I made sure I wasn't giving myself the massive extra workload of changing any of the text or tables - already enough on my plate. In fairness its only maybe one spread every 10 pages or so that has no illustrations - and in some Chapters I think much less than that. But there is a...

    Thanks for the feedback Alzrius amigo. I do like it, its how the frame crosses art pieces that concerns me though. Needs a bit more testing.

    Thanks for the feedback mate, much appreciated. Its a framing device to give a depth of field - I am happy with how it turned out. Over the multiple years of working on this book I have tried maybe half a dozen layouts and brainstormed a dozen more. Once I get the PDF completed I will likely...

    Second Preview is the new Interiors. Still 50/50 on whether to implement this or not. Let me know what you think? 2. Interior Trade Dress

    The Immortal's Handbook: Gods & Monsters (unfinished)

    Cheers; artist on that one was Jiao Mileski. He has done about 40 pieces for me - most of which will be in the Bestiary - like the Abominator. Its an overly complex system to design for. Thanks for the well wishes. First eye surgery went well, but still 3 more operations to go. 🤞 The...

    I can't imagine designing it otherwise. Beings have to be able to interact up and down the Divine Ranks. In terms of Direct Confrontations I suggest going up maybe +3; with indirect Confrontations potentially going up as high as you want albeit with increasingly lesser impact (you make them run...

    The Immortal's Handbook: Gods & Monsters (unfinished)

    Firstly, apologies for the slow reply koumpou, had guest staying with us last night and no free time. I appreciate the support - glad you like the book. I did add the new stat-blocks at the back; they were from Gods & Monsters, not Ascension. Thanks. Good news is the next book is God Rules...
