As one of my most played custom classes, I went back to the drawing board with the Shade frequently to try and figure out what it was exactly that players liked so much. Early on the bonuses from their Cloak were too high and overpowered for such low levels, so I’ve toned it down quite…
5 years and 3 months, that’s the lifespan of the Warhammer IP as granted by Games Workshop. How the internals of this have worked out in years past is, and probably always will be, a mystery. This really should come as no surprise to anyone, the game has been languishing for a while now. The…
I’ve been thinking about some of the classic systems in D&D that can be easily bought with a pile of gold. At low levels a fighter that can afford full plate armor, a horse, and masterwork steel weapons, is going to be an unstoppable beast of a fighter compared to his broke ass, leather wearing,…
This is one of the recent changes that I’ve made to my campaign that just plain works well and makes sense. The way we used to crit in D&D was based on the natural 20 roll, and dealt double damage. That’s just how we’ve always done it. 20 hits anything, always does double damage. It…
We recently did a reroll in my campaign and moved over to a new country that my players are mostly unfamiliar with. That means a lot of the stuff that I’ve been working on in the background has suddenly become available and I’m now scrambling to finalize a lot of it. In the process, I’ve…
Yeah, yeah, more D&D stuff, I know. It’s just what I’ve been working on lately, and this particular one is a very recent change. Similar to my last post, I’ve grouped together all the Wizard spells across a handful of 2e sourcebooks into a single list sorted by level and school. So here’s a handy link…
I’ve been spending a lot of time getting the magic in my system working in a manner that makes your choices of spells matter and influence your future actions. I did have a little rant about this quite a while ago, and I think I’ve finalized the last of the major changes I wanted to…
Ah, the Arcanite. This is the badass of the bunch. You want to play a warrior that flings around blasts of raw arcane energy? Everyone does, or surprisingly, only one player at a time really gets into it. I mean, if we had a full group of these guys my campaign world would probably look like swiss cheese.…
I just realized that I never bothered to crosspost this video to the blog. I’ve been playing the crap out of this game for the past couple of weeks in my spare time. It’s got me hooked something fierce and right on the verge of spending money for some of the more elusive things. Here,…
I’ve given up on using OBS for recording review and gameplay videos. Perhaps it wasn’t as apparent to me because of the lower quality games that I’ve done reviews on, but in FarCry 3 I just couldn’t handle it. Instead I’ve gone back to using FRAPS, which I have a full license for, to do…
