https://i.imgur.com/nXRkabG.jpeg DM’s Guild Page. Here we have another product that seeks to make the Tarokka deck a more frequent element in Ravenloft games. But whereas Madam Eva’s Tarokka Deck of Friends, Foes, & Fortune was focused largely on adventure generation, the Tarokka Critical Hit D...

https://i.imgur.com/57jEGOV.png DM’s Guild Page Achievements have been a long-held tradition in video games, where performing certain tasks in game displays a notification that the player completed such a feat. Oftentimes these achievements had no direct in-game benefit, being more of a status symb...

https://i.imgur.com/KRsFC3D.png DM’s Guild Page Although most music is designed to be a team effort, it can also be competitive. After watching a certain scene from a movie about a Canadian fighting against his girlfriend’s evil exes, the author for Bard-Core Brawlers had the idea of bringing music...

https://i.imgur.com/hR5z9gB.jpeg DM’s Guild Page A lot of video game RPGs incorporate a progressive crafting system where existing equipment can be enhanced, with additional properties based on the user’s talents as well as the appropriate ingredients. While optional most of the time, the creation ...

https://i.imgur.com/zdmpWyS.png Drive-Thru RPG Page. Fictional sports are a pretty old concept, dating back to chivalric romances and other works of medieval literature. Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop games delved into what sports would look like in worlds of magic, monsters, and interst...

https://i.imgur.com/ifwZUZp.jpeg DM’s Guild Page Glittergold’s Clockwork Combat is an adventure and minigame all in one, but with a twist. Written with charity livestreams in mind, certain aspects of the adventure can be influenced based on audience votes and donations. It’s not for any particular ...

https://i.imgur.com/dXAMqxi.png DM’s Guild Page. In the real world, people have found excuses to try and eat virtually every living species on this planet. So what would happen in a fantasy world with a much more diverse array of creatures? Furthermore, what if consuming certain monsters could inst...

https://i.imgur.com/mP3MkfR.png DM’s Guild Page. When it comes to the Ravenloft setting, the Tarokka Deck is perhaps as iconic as Strahd Von Zarovich himself. It plays a prominent role in each of the classic modules featuring the vampire count, from the original I6 to the current Curse of Strahd. B...

https://i.imgur.com/NBZNOfC.jpeg DM’s Guild Page For the Millennial and older gamers out there, do you remember the days when Ocarina of Time was the hottest game on the Nintendo 64? When it was the first in the series to expand Link’s adventures to a whole new world of three dimensions? The time t...

https://i.imgur.com/abuiq7d.jpeg DM’s Guild Page The first product we’re covering is a dice and card game commonly played in taverns across Faerûn that simulates fantasy monsters fighting each other. The game itself is pretty simple, with the bulk of the product containing illustrated printable car...

https://i.imgur.com/E6oVcd5.png Hello everyone, and welcome to my next Let’s Read project! After covering Keep of the Kobold Queen I found that doing shorter sourcebooks was easier on my schedule and energy levels than the larger tomes I usually cover. But I also want to stick with a longer-format ...

Perhaps I missed this in your review, but... what if one of the PCs is a kobold? Anything special for that? I thought that seemed obvious, but none of the pregenerated PCs are kobolds. Don't tell me they wrote a kobold-specific adventure without considering someone might want to play as one. Nah, t...

https://i.imgur.com/K8omwR0.png Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve done a Let’s Read, and that’s for several reasons. Beyond just IRL stuff, I have found out that writing the larger sourcebooks as I am wont to do takes a lot out of me and requires me to commit to a schedule I cannot alway...

There was discussion on this in both the r/osr subreddit and RPGnet. For those not in the know, Barker was an academic and linguist who wrote a very in-depth and detailed setting known as Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne. Not only was it one of the oldest published settings for D&D around 197...

Well now, it's been a while since I worked on this homebrew project! I have several more settings I plan on converting, in no particular order... Brancalonia Grim Hollow Midgard's Southlands (I feel it's big enough to include as its own entry now) Primeval Thule Ptolus Scarred Lands Seas of Vodari T...

https://i.imgur.com/2Jw3cFg.jpeg Blue Spheres: the Spheres System for Blue Rose A land where those in power are striving for a better world…and have a real chance at succeeding! The Kingdom of Aldis is a sterling example for this hopeful tomorrow, and the Sovereign’s Finest lead by example in comba...

Well speak of the devil: a remastered version is coming out one month from now. It will be available for PC and the major console platforms. New Features in the Remastered Edition: ◆ 3D models converted to HD ◆ Refined character illustrations ◆ Higher-quality background music ◆ Switch enemy encounte...

Villains of Freedom City, Part 3 Here we are, the final stretch of the final chapter in the book! https://i.imgur.com/raOLFcA.png Megalodon the Man-Shark (2e/3e) is Dr. Connor Kirkstrom, a marine biologist Dr. Connor. After losing limbs to a shark attack he became obsessed with the animals, eventua...

It looks like I'm going to be wrapping up Freedom City soon. So I put up a Straw Poll for what book I should review next. Given that superheroes are on the brain, I figured I should go with another such book. Here are the options: https://i.imgur.com/Ibbs44z.jpeg Aberrant 2nd Edition: An update to t...

Oh wow, where’d the time go? I’m sorry for the delay, but I’m still a bit unused to the size and scope of this project even though we’re getting close to the finish line. Here’s our next bunch of solo villains! https://i.imgur.com/uqbrnJV.png Gamma the Atom Smasher is Adam Ward, son of esteemed nucl...

https://i.imgur.com/Kh7DgDO.png Villains of Freedom City, Part 2 Solo villains are characters who can easily operate on their own, and when they do have “help” it is often in the form of low-PL minions. While this is a picture-intensive chapter, I won’t include images of every supervillain because ...

I've played Chrono Cross and beat the game. I agree with pretty much most of what you are saying Lago. The only things I really liked about the game were the music and some of the character designs. I don't think it's the worst game ever but I am sure as shit never playing it again. I recall that y...

I understand that superhero archetypes are what they are, and the utility of having M&M characters be established characters with the serial numbers filed off is pretty obvious. How much original space does the setting carve out? Honestly it's hard to say; with a near-century worth of comics lo...

https://i.imgur.com/y7TMLXE.png This section is by far the largest in the book, so we’re doing it in several parts, with this post covering the villainous groups. 1e is peculiar in being the only Edition that has no villains that can’t be found in later versions, so for listing Edition changes I’ll...

Want to let everyone know I'm still interested in continuing this review, I've just had a lot going on these past 2 weeks. One thing I wanted to bring up. Tanarii of the GiantITP Forums pointed out that I got the metro areas of NYC and LA wrong. This was due to me getting inaccurate information off ...
