This is for the elderberry tales, the world I'm building, but they should be usable in any dungeons and dragons game. I kept the attribute adjustments, but honestly, if it doesn't work, remove them and use the new system. for starters, i always loved the talking skeletons of myth so decided to...

This is a world I've been kicking around. Several threads here started me stewing on this a long time ago. Namely. Peasant Revolts in 5e https://www.enworld.org/threads/peasant-revolts-in-5e.669116/ and Giant Snails in medieval manuscipts...

Like it says on the tin, how much should the two games be able to cross over and why?

Besides listing your favorite creatures from this era, how has dungeons and dragons changed monsters from this time and history and was it better or for worse?

https://speex-realms.fandom.com/wiki/Acorn_of_Wo_Mai the kara-tur thread got me curious. One of my favorite plot threads from the 2e horde box set is the acorn of Wo Mai. In my head cannon, he has returned and now rules Tu Lung in a manner that would make Aku from Samurai Jack proud. I...

https://www.medievalists.net/2013/07/ten-beautiful-medieval-maps/ https://beinecke.library.yale.edu/article/medieval-world-maps-t-o-maps Trying to figure out if there is a way to design a map so it feels like a medieval map while still being functional like a modern map. The closest I've seen...

You can blame Ben Riggs for waking my memory of this old class. I never tried this class back in the day so curious? Whom here has played the 1st edition illusionist? How did it differ from a standard Magic user? Are there any ways to update this concept in a way that reflects the original...

Ranger and Rogue fullfill the same niche that I have had legendary game designers argue that Robin Hood is a rogue. If the paragon of ranger is not your class, it is extraneous. Rogue now covers the skirmisher concept so I would be okay of folding the ranger abilities into it and the...

What are the best rpgs that can be used to play car wars on the market, besides, well car wars? I want to bone up and see what works and what doesn't. also anything to keep in mind when balence the person and the car so neither feels extraneous?

For all their prominence in traditional history, Monasteries/Nunneries seem to be completely regulated to at best mock kung fu temples and often ignored. The fact that these locations were wealth generators and religious sites of potential magics, how would you use them in your game? also how...

https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/04/left-4-ape-apes-vs-zombies.html This is a fairly small setting, but think it would be fun to show off. Not sure what to do with it, open to suggestions.

Would fallout76 make a better tabletop rpg sandbox? I think the map is fantastic and there are some great stories that would be fun to interact with, but when you get there, they have already played out. I think it would be a much better world to set your game during the scorch ascendency era...

yet another brainstorming thread for my gneiss city world I started watching the flintstones and well ... how would modern warfare look like in such a world? Infantry? Cavalry? Artillery? Air Force? and anything else you can think of.

i love this book immensely and it's amazing look at the monster manual. So for those whom build their own monsters, what do you use and why?

I just had a crazy brainstorm creating a new superhero universe inspired by the marvel's 50 state initiative. I'm open to any and all feedback. https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/03/meta-republic-superheros-legislated.html

Because somebody has to warn you about the dangers of Vecna: https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2024/03/psa-trafficing-with-vecna.html

Was inspired by an old comic strip called B.C.. Gneiss city has a hooligan problem where roaming bands of homo floresiensis rich kid punks ride around on those stone unicycles causing mischief. not only open to all feedback, but anybody have any luck drawing them?

okay long story short, I did a legally distinct world of gneiss city, a world that was inspired by the flintstones with a 30's noir feel. Here is the overworld map. Eventually The asteroid is going to hit, creating what I have described as "Flintstone Fallout". My idea is that when the...

not sure if this goes here, so feel free to move it. My party decided to take me up in my crazy idea for a game. For starters, this is a 5e edition hack. a good friend of mine wrote up Savage Settings: savage lands...

The harsh temperatures got me thinking. What is the best cold based adventure of any edition (or failing that any dnd adjacent adventure. What locations in any world would be suitable for writing such an adventure? what should we keep in mind in writing such an adventure?
