K20 – Who do I play as

A core component of K20 is that the PCs all know the math. This goes for the monsters as well. One of the outcomes of that decision is that anything with an intelligence score of 3 or higher can be playable. This leads us to a few design choices. If the players can be aContinue reading “K20 – Who do I play as”

Drunken Bear Fighter

A friend of mine has been pushing Unbound by Rowan, Rook, and Decard for a while now. I’m sure its solid and if I actually listened to recommendations, I might really enjoy it. Either way, I was checking out their site when I saw something that jumped right out at me. Drunken Bear Fighter. TheContinue reading “Drunken Bear Fighter”

Scourge of Darkness

A player in my home 3.5 game came to me asking for a custom item. It sounded really cool, so we came up with the Scourge of Darkness, which his character will craft next session. You will notice it uses my house rules to weapons of legacy, which are simply to ignore the penalties andContinue reading “Scourge of Darkness”

K20 Power Sources

Even more than class or race, a power source is the defining choice of a K20 character. Your race determines your inborn physical characteristics, and your class determines your skills and abilities, but your power source, that determines what classes you are allowed to choose from. A power source is, put simply, the source ofContinue reading “K20 Power Sources”

Brac’s Guide to Piracy: Review

Brac’s Guide to Piracy is the fourth of Chamomile’s ongoing series of kickstarter 5e zines. Each of which is focused on a specific topic of D&D, this one, obviously, is focused around piracy. A topic near and dear to my heart. I’ve run countless pirate campaigns, and campaigns that turned into pirate campaigns, and theContinue reading “Brac’s Guide to Piracy: Review”

K20 Tiers

K20 is big on setting expectations. For players and DMs both. One of the key backbones of the game is the concept of Tiers. Its not ground breaking, and various editions have used different levels of directness when talking about them. In 3.x, one hits level 5ish, and is expected to prestige class. In 2eContinue reading “K20 Tiers”

Apothecaria: Review

Apothecaria will be my first solo TTRPG. I’m mostly in the games for the shared storytelling and in person tabletop experiences. The whole solo thing really missed me for a while. Then COVID happened and all my in person games just shut down. It got me re-evaluating what I find important in a game, andContinue reading “Apothecaria: Review”

Coins of the Ancients: Solomon’s Pentacles

I took a long time to come around on the idea of props in a TTRPG session. I’m talking probably decades. Coins are one that I’ve been very drawn to the last few years, and the Coins of the Ancient’s series are some of my favorites. This is the second pack I’ve gotten, after backingContinue reading “Coins of the Ancients: Solomon’s Pentacles”

K20, What’s that?

Over the past few years I’ve been tooling away at my own version of #&#. K20 is my compiled answer to that question. Foundationally, K20 is based on 3.5, but was started at the end of 4e, and pulls a lot from 2e, 5e, and other games. Its still not finished and a little inContinue reading “K20, What’s that?”

A Review of Bianca’s Guide to Golems

Bianca’s Guide to Golems is the third of Chamomile’s series of kickstarter 5e zines. Each of which is focused on a specific topic of D&D that’s always been a little wonky. This one, obviously, is focused around golems, but less obviously, item crafting in general. I’ve got a hard copy, and plan to review that,Continue reading “A Review of Bianca’s Guide to Golems”
