Re: JESUS CHRIST, VIRGINIA!
So long as you are personally vaccinated and do not have any elevated risk factors, you are unlikely to die of covid-19 no matter how many remaining Americans refuse to get vaccinated. Blatantly illegal purges of political opponents are not especially likely to be tied to which party has control of ...

Re: "In my game the Mental Attributes are..."
Different characters have different base stats, which lends them more towards certain specializations, but there's no hard-coded classes. You can load up Aeris with HP-up and make her a mediocre tank if you want, but you could've put the same materia on Barret for much better effect.

Re: [Phil Swift Voice] "THAT'S A LOTTA GODS"--The planes sure seem crowded...
If you have more than thirteen gods in your pantheon, you have more than your players can keep track of or will care about. A very easy way to trim down divine redundancy is to stop having gods of specific races. The orcs might have a specific patron deity, but that deity does not need to be exclusi...

Those shows debuted over a decade ago and have been off the air for years. Their primary audience is like 25 years old by now.JigokuBosatsu wrote: ↑Sun Oct 03, 2021 4:29 am

Re: [3.X/PF] Good non den homebrew
The Aspect Hunter's Lycan Aspect is also a wererat, wereshark, werebear, etc., so probably not what you want for a pure werewolf. Might provide some ideas, though.

Re: [High 5e] Brancalonia: Spaghetti Fantasy Setting
Going E6 in 5e is definitely a weird choice, and I almost wonder if it's a holdover from a version of this that was written (even if only as homebrew) for Pathfinder rules that was just never questioned when they updated to 5e. E6 does mean there are certain spells that will never be available, but ...

Re: Is Chamomile a self-publisher?
I'm interested in hearing more on your default / Frankensteined PF campaign, especially how you transition groups to higher level play within your setting. In order to keep the workload down, the setting is still 80% the same as Golarion, so the transition to higher level play is mostly just Runelo...

Re: Is Chamomile a self-publisher?
So basically you may swap the npc class to an aspect one and the players may follow you. Honestly unless I am missing sth, which is quite likely, I wouldn't play any martial class except your warrior. No, you've got it. And indeed, I recommend to everyone who plays in my PF1 games to use the Aspect...

Re: Is Chamomile a self-publisher?
The only three systems people ever ask me to run are 5e, PF1, and FATE, and if someone asked me to run a system I strongly dislike, I would probably just say no. Likewise, the vast majority of people want me to run an AP, and while I do clean up APs a bit, I mostly run them as they're printed, both ...

Sort of. Mercer is in a position to eat D&D's lunch if they ever try to move on to 6e because he is like 80% of D&D's de facto marketing power, but Colville is in exactly the position Paizo was in: A major third-party content creator who is generally liked by the fan community, and who would...

Re: D&D 5e has failed
5e has at least two Pathfinder candidates: Matt Mercer and Matt Colville. It is not currently clear whether or not being named "Matt" is a prerequisite to major success in the current market, but available data strongly indicates this is so. For serious, though, if 5e got phased out for 6e...

Re: Is DnD the most popular because of ease?
D&D is the most popular because it's been a cultural reference in the US since the satanic panic of the early 1980's . D&D's cultural power is absolutely dwarfed by that of Star Wars, and yet not one of 3-5 (depending on how you count them) Star Wars RPGs has ever been the most popular RPG....

I forget exactly what they were, but I slapped a few significant nerfs on the Stag Lord when I ran Kingmaker.
