Just your standard giant mutant psionic cyborg budgie. Nothing special.
CYBERCRAWL
An #OSE hack, wherein #Transformers plumb the depths of Cybertron.

Some want to recover lost weapons, technology, data, or Energon. Others want to discover the means to save Cybertron... and perhaps learn of their own origins.

For my mashup #ttrpg setting, I put my feelers out for B&W line #art. No nibbles so far.

Just as well. I don't wanna waste anyone's time. Not much money right now, and I foresee more austerity. And I don't want to insult artists by lowballing them.

But I have an idea. Probably a bad one.

Listening to this now. 🙂

This is causing me to consider incorporating age into my games, including having certain spells age characters. As well as having a max age, after which resurrection is impossible.

Not totally sold on the idea, but it's worth thinking about.

Any artists out there that do black and white fantasy and sci-fi line art? Ideally, the sort of illustrations we saw in "old school" D&D and other RPG books? I'd love to see some. 🙂

I have a great idea for an April fool's episode, @daddyrolleda1.bsky.social . 😆

Review the 2024 PHB and praise its awfulness in glowing language. Wear juggalo makeup.

Bonus content is discussion of Mr Bungle, as you sip cocktails of Jägermeister + Faygo.

DO IT.

I'm enjoying playing Dragon Age Veilguard. I will opine that they made some... interesting choices when it comes to aesthetics. Some of the environments are stunning, but the outfits? I wish there was more customizability. I do appreciate the "transmog" feature, though.

I'm working on a d% system.

* Advantage: roll d%, always count *lower* result as 10s place

* Disadvantage: roll d%, always count *higher* result as 10s place

(I think Eclipse Phase does something similar.)

What does this do to probabilities?

Playing Dark Ages Veilguard.

Meet Lizhi, Dwarf Rogue Veiljumper. The Desert Fennec.

Hella fun ping-ponging around the battlefield. I *like* the action gameplay and 3P view.

The Elf Mage I had looked forward to didn't hit for me.

Silver has potent supernatural properties, and is strongly attuned to the Moon and to Law.

Silver amulets and protect the wearer from Chaos. They might shrug off spells and curses They otherwise would not.

Silver weapons grievously wound demons, lycanthropes, undead, and other creations of Chaos.

Gold has magical properties, and GP may be used as a universal spell component during emergencies. However, this is expensive, especially for higher-level spells.

Gold used for spellcasting transmutes into an equal amount of lead. Changing lead into gold requires the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

I think this is a fair point, taken in the appropriate and intended context. Which I am. 🙂
There’s a reason why games are made by game developers and not by players.

I wouldn’t go to a restaurant where other customers prepare my food.

FLOWER PENINSULA

Anarchic Mythic South locale. Think Fantasy Florida. GTA Vice City meets OSR D&D.

Densely populated communities surrounded by vast tracts of jungle and swamp. There are few safe trade routes.

A fun video, wherein @daddyrolleda1.bsky.social discusses psionics, the origin of druids, and other interesting things.

Some of which I have thoughts about. 🙂
The most controversial Original D&D Supplement?

Between the shocking cover & introducing Psionics, many would say "yes."

Main Character Syndrome: the RPG.

You are...

...a hard-boiled cop that might break the law to protect it;
...or, the heroine of a YA novel;
...or, a half-demon anime antihero that's too cool to fail;
...or, the protag of your own console video game series;
...or, any given 5E D&D character.

This is brilliant. 🤔💡 I've bookedmarked this site. Similar to what I was trying to do, with a single check providing a lot of information.
That’s right, all ideas are in communication with each other! You may also be interested in this other post I have about random encounters. It doesn’t use dice of different colors though so that’s definitely an aspect that could be added to give even more granularity

I do appreciate the responses, @tidalwavegames.com and @prismaticwasteland.com . Useful stuff, both links now bookmarked. 🙂 More replies after I've had my morning coffee.
Not at all my intent in posting that. Just a similar idea, thought sharing it would help spark ideas and conversation.

I am also not the author of the post, and doubt @prismaticwasteland.com would mind iteration. Ideas are free!

The trolls, also called giantkin, are a human bloodline with giantish heritage. As big and strong as you might expect, they lack animal heads and other Chaos mutations seen among giants. Females are often larger and taller than males. Like humans, trolls can be attuned to any elemental rune.
