Magic ammunition
DND's rules for magical ammunition always seriously bugged me. Either you buy non-reusable arrows in packs of 50, in which case your high-level character fires off their entire investment in a single engagement, or you buy a single fully reusable arrow, in which case you have to spend some plusses o...

Re: Campaign Concept: Soul Trap
I'm still not sure of a few things though: 2. Should there be some kind of ticking clock towards doomsday other than the fact that more hollows will know to attack the PCs with time, possibly using better tactics? What kind of tone are you going for? This sounds like a great setting for a bleak, un...

The only thing I've produced that made it into the link repository is the Spellherd; feel free to include it. It never seemed quite right, though, so if it does make it in I might go back and tweak it.

One of my two forays into actually doing my own homebrew used swift/immediate actions, five-foot steps, and attacks of opportunity as resources that could be used on other people's turns. For example, one ability the class had let it retarget nearby spell AoEs by spending attacks of opportunity, and...

I once tried putting together a campaign that's vaguely related to this idea. Basically, idea was that the player characters weren't explicit individuals, but rather Heroic Personalities that would hop through history to possess/inhabit/inspire particular individuals, which would turn that NPC into ...

The issue is basically that AAA game studios are attempting to make as much money as possible by making the game appeal to as many players as possible. This is reasonable if all you're trying to do is make money (c.f. the success of the battlefield, call of duty, and warcraft franchises), but it req...

So what can super villains do after they have served their prison sentence to make a living (excluding being a super villain again)? Get creative. The thing that I like about Worm is that, instead of focusing all the attention on the people with cool flashy powers, the author gives the place of hon...

I think that the plot for the book needs to be mostly self-contained so players don't get frustrated, but Gatejammer gives us plenty of opportunity to leave things open: a book transition is walking through a portal to another planet, system, or cluster, and we're in Finality. It wouldn't hurt at al...

Funnily enough, for the purposes of heat engines, creating cold is just as useful as creating heat. All you need is a heat gradient that you can extract work from. Under certain conditions (for example, if your hot end can only get so hot and you're looking for more power), cold can be even better t...
