    Homebrew Need help with homebrewed Magic Surge mechanics

    The problem I see with that is you now have a feat tax whose purpose is to bring spellcasters back to the power level that they have in the base game. A power level that the base game ostensibly balances against non-spellcasters. In other words, spellcasters under this system must either start...

    Homebrew Need help with homebrewed Magic Surge mechanics

    Do you anticipate any player rolling up a spellcaster for this campaign given these constraints? I know I wouldn't want to! Or is the idea that the party is pure martials? Or do you feel that spellcasting is too powerful and this is a mechanism to address that?

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Just about any business will charge the maximum they can. If a business charges more for a product or service than a customer perceives as a fair value, no one will buy their offering and they go out of business. If a competitor sells for less, same thing happens. If they hold a monopoly, only...

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Minor quibble, but you can't really estimate a page count based on price like that. Publishing these things no doubt has a fixed cost attached; you can't just divide the price by the page count and extrapolate that price per page to a smaller product. Doesn't mean that you're not right about the...

    What was your 2nd RPG?

    I haven't played an RPG since the mid-90s. I started with the Moldvay basic set in 1982 (there was a D&D club at school that some kid in my class told me about... D&D? What's that?). I bought those and the AD&D books... I guess that makes AD&D my second? But we seem to be counting those as the...

    Was there a debit on your bank account/credit card? Maybe it was an automated email that someone neglected to disable?

    D&D 5E (2024) Just Because a location is not on the Atlas of Faerun doesn't mean its gone.

    It totally does! Also sounds like the name I'll be giving my protagonist in the next CRPG I spin up...

    D&D 5E (2024) Just Because a location is not on the Atlas of Faerun doesn't mean its gone.

    I'll bet @Henadic Theologian preferred the head canon of your job being drawing Jack Sparrow's treasure maps.

    As well, this user blocked me because I questioned the seriousness of his/her claim upthread... just so you know what sort of character you're dealing with here.

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    That was a tongue-in-cheek comment... prompted by the strangely minor complaints you posted. Unnecessarily snarky, you're right. That was a joke... I couldn't care less what stock you own! Again, poking fun at how small these issues are and the ensuing quixotic crusade. I'm good, but thanks!

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Seems to be an issue from August 2025 related to a user (is this you?) running with a video card released in 2011 having problems with the installer's latest release. The software was upgraded to the latest version of Unity. There's a more than strong indication that the problem lies with the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    Out of a sense of self-preservation, I've erased all details of Solasta's storyline from my brain. 😬

    Wow, I hadn't noticed. I do recall that you were once upon a time able to see threads started by someone who'd ignored you.

    The 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG Contest - Results are In

    It wasn't open and he took a shot in the dark that it was in fact a museum... I'll pass that nugget along. He's in Reykjavik because apparently Halloween is a major club scene nowadays ¯\(ツ)/¯ Here's another shot from six minutes ago.
