Thanks for the space, Rogue Octopus!

I've been working on a 5e replacement for about two years. Where I do things like make fighters tactical, give rangers themes, and warlocks spell slots! My patrons get access to the playtest materials!
Check it out, it's awesome!

While playing 5e, can you never find a spell worth casting that doesn't eat at that concentration you're already holding?
In #6thDawn I've modified spellcasting where concentration is usually optional, but you might not want to give it up.

Optional Concentration Some spells have an active component beyond yourself that you must control, but otherwise work without your intervention. If you choose to concentrate on these spells, they work just as concentration spells above. However, you can choose to not concentrate on them, this keeps the spell going with no control over it whatsoever. Fear 3rd-rank illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (30-foot cone) Components: V, S, M (a white feather or the heart of a hen) Duration: Optional concentration, up to 1 minute You project a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and become frightened of you for the duration. *While concentrating on this spell*, you can use your action to target all creatures in another 30-foot cone, but can't affect a creature again if it has succeeded on a saving throw against this casting of fear. Invisibility 2nd-rank illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (an eyelash encased in gum arabic) Duration: Optional concentration, up to 1 hour A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell. *While concentrating on the spell* and no creatures currently benefit from the spell, you can use your action to touch another creature to turn it invisible. Moonbeam 2nd-rank evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S, M (several seeds of any moonseed plant and a piece of opalescent feldspar) Duration: Optional concentration, up to 1 minute A silvery beam of pale light shines down in a 5-foot radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range. Until the spell ends, dim light fills the cylinder. When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A shapechanger makes its saving throw with disadvantage. If it fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can't assume a different form until it leaves the spell's light. *While concentrating on this spell*, you can use an action to move the beam 60 feet in any direction.

This week I'm working on the Quickstart guide for my #ttrpg Undead Paradise, a game about zombies who have regained their sentience and are now navigating a mutated world long after humanity has fallen.

Below is the Undead Class: Bright-Eyes. An undead that retained its intelligence.
Able to understand humanity and the mutation, these smart undead were instrumental in humanity’s extinction. When the bombings began, they knew to find safety below ground. When remnants of humanity hunkered into shelters, it was these zombies that were able to sabotage the defenses. These undead were identified by their signature bright yellow eyes. For that reason, they were given the classification: Bright Eyes.

I'll go first.

At Rogue Octopus HQ, we're working on the specialist skills you can use and level up for the Everworld Quickstart Guide.

I've also got our first Session of our new Star Trek Adventures this Monday, so I'm going to be prepping some strange new worlds for the new crew!
