I haven't seen any talk at all on this rpg unless I missed it. MIR - Oath It's apparently originally a French game so this is mostly a translation as I understand. I'm not sure what to make of it. The artwork is gorgeous and unique (to me), but although I read through it I'm not terribly...

So this is a combination of shitpost and a random collection of thoughts I've muddled around in my head for a while. There's a few concepts I'd love to see in RPGs that I'm not aware of in any systems currently (if there are, please point me to them!). And as I was too sick this weekend to...

There's a cool RPG just relaunched on kickstarter: KALYMBA: African inspired RPG i'm glad they relaunched. I'm not connected to the project. I'm just a keen backer that would like to see it funded. The system looks to be overall a simple 2d6 based attribute + skill system, nothing...

Now that I've had some sleep, a repost here: ‐--------------------- So I got a chance to play the quickstart adventure of Avatar Legends. The GM was great and the players all contributed well, but I have to say that I had some initial concerns with some of the rules that have only heightened...

I posted this on RPG.net but I wanted to see what y'all thought here (for those that aren't in both forums). Mods: please feel free to move this to the general roleplaying group if you feel this is more appropriate...

I haven't seen mention of Kalymba on here so I thought i'd bring it up if anyone's interested. Looks to be an African mythology inspired RPG that seems to have some really cool ideas and great art. I'm not connected, just a backer and I'd like to see it succeed.

Hi all, just posting a link here as I thought it might interest some others: Asian Monsters: 90+ magnificent monsters for D&D 5E It seems like there could be some really nifty ideas drawn from various cultures to bring in something fresh. I haven't bought any of their products before. What is...

DUPLICATE - PLEASE DELETE

Talking about M:tG has me thinking again about the disappointment I had with the Ravnica guide. On a personal note, I enjoy 5e as it is, but as I've played a lot of it, I would absolutely love to try this with a completely different magic structure and set of spells. It's been a long time for...

I was not expecting to be as enamored with Shadow & Bone on Netflix as I was, but I was immediately hooked and really looking forward to them expanding the universe in future seasons. While watching, I couldn't help but feel that the Grisha powers would make for an awesome alternate magic...

What would happen if all magical healing and healing potions did not increase hitpoints, but only created temp HP? I can think of a few impacts: Clerics, Paladins and Druids might think of using spells to buff characters before they go into a fight If a character is downed, magical healing...

A discussion on ability score balancing had me thinking of a houserule I'd be interested to try out. What if all current skills under wisdom were moved under intelligence (except for insight, which moved to charisma). Wisdom would then become the mental equivalent of CON, no skills but a very...

I'm thinking about a variant where PCs have half their normal HP, but after a nominal time at the end of the fight (say 1 minute) the PCs are back at their max HP. The intent is to have each fight that can be risky/potentially deadly rather than an attrition model which I think is difficult in...

One of the things that I've thought about implementing in my next 5e campaign is to also allow an opportunity attack when a PC or creature moves within the range of an enemy, rather than just leaving range. This makes it easier for front line forces to block off areas. It also makes shove a...

There's been a lot of discussions on ability score increases and ability generation methods, so I set to thinking about one that would enhance the "zero to hero" vibe of D&D and hopefully still be enjoyable to play. I would be interested to see which of you would actually like to play a game...

Hi @Morrus , This is an early and potentially odd request. I'd love if when the physical book comes around if there were some page separators between chapters/sections for quick referencing at the table. I really miss the old Encyclopedia Britannia style cut away sections of the pages, but...

If there was a campaign where weapons dealt fixed damage, e.g a dagger did 3+STR/DEX points of damage, a greatsword did 7+STR, etc. Would you be happy? Would it take away from the fun of rolling damage for you? Or would you be content if it sped up play?

This is my own pet peeve and my own opinion of course, but it's always rubbed me the wrong way that fighters get lower skill choices than many other classes, and that it's the bard who is typically the leader (now sorcerers and warlocks thanks to a helping of CHA based characters). Firstly, for...

I have made a previous thread on separating Ancestry & Culture and had some great comments on it (and was pointed to some wonderful work someone has previously done on the subject). But I have also done some tinkering as to how D&D could work without ability scores at all. Given the problematic...

I'm sure I've missed the memo on this, but I used to be able to attach PDFs to forum posts. I can no longer do this. Has this been removed, or can I just not see it?
