PLEASE NOTE This is a work in progress, and is considered in beta at this point and I am doing more testing, but I am putting this here so people can play with it while I refine it. Spellcasting 2.0 – An Addon to the RAW Spell Casting System The base system for...
New Crits On The Block
Since D&D came out combat has evolved in the game, and the stories that came with it, but there was no mechanics for really showing those massive hits we see in the movies. In 1980 Dragon Magazine issue #31 came out with an article called “Good Hits &...
Updates
So I have a few, but a quick note here and more details later. Releasing later today are new rules for spellcasters and mixing races. Page updates include a lot, so look around.
Episode 13 – HE / SHE WHAT NOW?
At the end of the previous episode, the party had cleared their way through the biggest part of the Gnome lair, and were moving forward. As they entered a large chamber, they found two doors, one though a large square building with just 4 columns on each corner, and a...
TableSmith: Weather Generator
So I have had a rough few weeks, hence the lack of posting, and the lack of anything, but I have also been getting ready for a 5E game I am starting this Saturday. But I want to make it as interesting as I can for the players, and their characters. So I have done a...
Pseudo IF Statement for Roll20
Roll20 has one problem with the Macro system a LOT of people want fixed. but it just never seems to happen. So I literally had to do something… The reason, is I am playing in Roll20 a Werewolf Archer / Assassin. I had two feats to include, both are -5 to...
Cure Wounds Macro for Roll20
I hate heaps of macros, as you might have seen in my other post(s). But there are some spells that give higher levels of result, by being a certain level, and there needed (in my game) to be a macro that could work for any caster, using Cure Wounds. So here it is:...
Pre-rolled D20 Collection
In this article, I will talk about a technique I use to make my GMing world easier to manage, but also helps to immerse the players into the game itself. By pre-rolling a bunch of rolls for anything including skill Checks, rather than using passive checks, or slowing...
Prestidigitation Macro for Roll20
Prestidigitation (much like it’s counterpart Thaumaturgy for Clerics) allows the caster, to affect small changes or effects. All of them minor, as this is a cantrip level spell. The following macro for Roll20 is designed to give the caster the options he might...
Alignments
Alignments are subjective, and are how they interact with D&D has many people seeing them differently, and so as such in how they act. Others (like me) use it more as an abstract tool for narration, and as a record of the overall philosophy of the character. In...
Toll the Dead Macro
So I was in a Discord server last night, when one of the other members was looking at how to do a macro up for the cantrip “Toll the Dead”. This cantrip is interesting for one reason, it’s modified by the level of the caster, AND modified if the...
RPG Gaming Etiquette
So, in the interest of trying to make everyone’s experience at the gaming table better and better, it came to mind that there is one thing that should be addressed, because there are a LOT of people out there that are especially guilty of doing the things I am...
Multiple PC Curse (MPC)
Caveat So in writing this, and for you the reader, I must make this PERFECTLY clear and open. This is NOT me mocking the disorder in any way. Dissociative Identity Disorder is a serious thing and should not be treated lightly, so this is the closest I could come to...
Hexblade Curse Macro for Roll20
So one of the guys in the Filthy Pig was having an issue with the SRD5 sheet, specifically trying to get his attack to add the Curse damage (his Proficiency Bonus) to the final result. While he had done this in other sheets, and they had worked fine, somehow the back...
Random Hit Location
In the mid to late 70s, as D&D was starting out, they (TSR) were already producing supplements to the base game, and in ONE of those books was a brilliant system to add reality to the combats. When you watch a movie, like Braveheart or Henry V, you see the end of...
Forge: Variant Skill System for 5e
Introduction I have been gaming a long time, and I have seen and played in a lot of different systems, some good some not so good. As games have changed over time, and new games came out, new systems, each adding different things as they went. Then WotC got a hold...
A Blade from Hell, A Drunk Dwarf, A Blink Dog, and a Mimic walks into a bar….
So when the current campaign started in the final days of 2017, my group had first gotten together, and were off on their first given adventure. They were to find out what happened to another team working for their employer, and they (if possible) were to enter into...
GMing 101
Introduction I see a lot (and I mean a LOT) of posts on Facebook about what being a good GM is, and what should be the starting path to becoming a good GM. This post is going to me my rote answer to those posts, and so I will use it again and again, and again probably...
Ban The Gnome
Introduction This article is intended to show you the reader the flaws in the Gnome in general, but specifically in 5E, and also note all the points that make the Gnome an UN-liked race. It is a race deserving of non existence. But WHY you ask, WHY should I get rid of...
Of course as children, we all, in all our cultures and societies, learn behavior from observation, imitation and encouragement of various kinds. So by the suggestion made, we all \\\"pretend\\\" most of the time.
