Playing a tabletop RPG where being married is mechanically represented as a persistent status condition and the evil wizard trying to dispel your party's buffs accidentally gives you a divorce.

XP without Killing | Rewarding your players for accomplishing things in the other two pillars of the game

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.

A new trial, mostly for me to come up with things. This time, more XP awards, because although there is a paragraph and 3 listed examples of how to award XP for reaching 'milestones' and another two paragraphs for roleplay. It doesn't feel like they put any actual thought into it, they just point at rules designed for combat encounters and say 'that, but not monsters'. Also, what is a deadly encounter for rolelay?

Furthermore, they only really cover XP budgets in that section not once does it actually tell you what counts for awarding experience. So I'm doing a due diligence and telling GMs to reward ingenuity

And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $1 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.

Fire magic 101: Marshmallow toasting!! ✨

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

my partner might be onto something when she says you can disguise your pickiness and food sensitivity as an adult by calling yourself a “purist.” so instead of saying “the taste and texture of cooked raisins make me want to hmork,” you say “i’m actually kind of a cinnamon roll purist, i prefer just a classic cinnamon filling and a really good dough instead of something with a ton of random mix ins,” which takes you from who gave this four year old a bachelor degree to oh wow this guy is a pretentious asshole about more things than i even thought was possible

College of Epics | The overlooked subclass that should have probably been in the ancient greece setting book

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.

The old epics typically feature a series of trials that the protagonist must overcome. It stands to reason that bards would be way into that. What I don't get is why the bard from the mythic greek setting book wasn't based on this. The hell wotsy?

Ebb and Flow

This feature is based on my new bard design philosophy where bardic inspiration is easier to come by, and so can be spent more regularly.

Inspire Heroics

A bit like the swords bard's flourishes, except benefiting others and pulling off weirder stuff. Heroes must be able to endure much suffering, super human feats of strength (that might just be heracles, but I digress), and be skilled/really lucky.

Hubris

Nothing quite feels as bad as when bardic inspiration fails. A bard so focused on the narrative would of course feel even worse, since they thought they could manipulate fate. At least you got the inspiration back.

Center Stage

Maybe you want to be the hero

The Return

And when a journey comes to an end, the hero must return changed. To do that, they must return. I do enjoy when I can make a character's feature break the fourth wall :P

The real problem with generative language models is that when you're confidently wrong about something absurd, people just assume you're repeating something a robot said. Like, no, I am doing a bit here – this is hand crafted misinformation.

Skill Challenges | That thing from 4e we all accepted as a thing, but forgot that rewards exist

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.

So, this month's theme is trials. And what is a trial if not a series of challenges. So, 4th edition's skill challenges in 5e have been floating about in the homebrew sphere for a while now. But they've kind of been abstract: "do a bunch of checks, something good happens if you accrue enough successes, something bad happens if you don't"

Which, while immensely on brand for 5e, is not a constructive framework from which to begin doing anything. Especially when you take into account that these are meant to be an alternative to fights. And if we want to encourage players to do other things to get the XPs, 4e noting that these things also bestow XP rewards is a thing. So, I had to divine a framework to bestow experience upon the party for doing numbers correctly.

At some point, I also need to determine XP for singular skill checks and traps, but that is another day. They definitely don't use these numbers

i think a really funny project that a statistics professor could have their class do is like. put a bunch of random, patently untrue demographic statements into a hat. "the most popular tv show among white men ages 24-27 is Bluey." "the majority of business majors are middle children." "bisexual women love hot chips." and each student picks one out of the hat and you gotta like. design a whole study and survey a group of people to specifically achieve that result. you have to prove it true. by whatever means necessary. you have to construct the most biased study possible and wrangle in your exact demographic to make that statement a statistical reality. i think people would learn a lot.

Finding the Trail | How to find creatures that don't want to be found without pulling numbers from nowhere

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.

The second and final 'Tracks' themed post for the month. Today: tracking! This has been a very opaque concept to me in 5e. And I say this as someone who has had to hide their trail to throw off pursuers before. But it's always been "Group Stealth check" But I'm going to be honest, walking quietly and carefully doesn't stop you from leaving footprints. So, like many things skill check related recently, I made some guidelines that should be simple enough to understand and implement. Beautiful clarity
