Hi it’s me it’s Catherine it’s House it’s Vecna it’s @that-house it’s the motherfucker herself

I’m doomed to be a forever DM because im good at writing stories and describing stuff and memorizing the rules and no one else i play with is but hey its fun

As my blog shifts towards being really D&D oriented it came to my attention that maybe this should exist

Fuck rangers all my homies hate rangers

I’m forgetful as fuck so this will probably never get used but if it does expect D&D posts and D&D asks and yeah that stuff

First person to edit a wizard hat onto my main account pfp gets their edit used as my pfp CONGRATS @caladel YOU WERE THE FIRST AND YOUR HAT IS MOST PRECIOUS UPON MY LEATHERY SKULL

...

ONGOING ASK GAMES

Bossification: send me a 5e monster and I’ll turn it into a proper boss fight. If it already is one I’ll make it better.

Multiclass Backstories: send me two classes and I'll throw together a backstory for a character using both classes.

i realize, after writing a backstory for my character that ended up being three times longer than i intended with a good amount of worldbuilding in it that probably will not fit in with the world the dm has made, that I don't care that much about actually playing dnd I just like making characters and worldbuilding.

answering this ask 1.5 years later to say me neither tbh that's why i'm a forever DM

downsides of being a lich #1213 — neighborhood dogs are chasing me and trying to bite the bones out of my ribcage. my minions are just laughing

downsides of being a lich #1214 — apparently can’t live in neighborhoods with a high concentration of fellow liches without my fucking dogs going missing all the time

Respectfully, your dming style is horrifying (<- in response to recent posts)

I DON'T PLAY TO KILL MY PLAYERS BUT I PLAY TO RIDE THAT SWEET SWEET LINE BETWEEN TWO AND THREE FAILED DEATH SAVES AS HARD AND AS LONG AS POSSIBLE

"track spell slots for monsters?" bitch im the DM i ain't tracking shit

they'll live for three rounds anyways, no point in worrying about if i've thrown too many fifth level spells at my players

"balance encounters?" bitch im the DM the players can figure that shit out

WELL THEY SURVIVED THE FIRST TWO OF THE DAY'S SEVEN PLANNED ENCOUNTERS. WE'LL SEE HOW THE REST OF THE DUNGEON GOES. CHALLENGE RATING MORE LIKE CHALLENGE STUPID AM I RIGHT

FIRST ENCOUNTER WAS DESIGNED AROUND CREATING SPIKE GROWTHS AND DRAGGING PEOPLE THROUGH THEM. IT HALF HEALTHED TWO CHARACTERS. I AM GOING TO GIVE THEM OTHER VERSIONS OF THAT ENCOUNTER THAT SUCK MORE

i'm so in love with this system i'm designing.

just fixed a major issue <3

does it still have some problems? yeah 1000% it doesn't actually have rules for settling conflicts through anything besides martial arts (i say martial arts loosely because one of the playtest characters we've made kills people by altering the ratio of a circle's radius to its circumference within a small area and collapsing your skull)

(the issue in question was the fact that for a while the best way to be good at hitting people was to put points into anything but Strength* and that was. not great**)

*not actually called Strength, the stat in question is Aggression (the stats represent different approaches to combat rather than bodily status), but it's functionally like Strength in terms of bonking a mf

**also the issue didn't just apply to hitting people. literally any action you could take in combat would be improved by not building your stats around it

Mmm im so full of ttrpg design

this system is so goofy

character creation is an in depth process where you make custom move pools and try to optimize every last drop of the build. the ratio of time it takes to make a character sheet to the length of a combat is at least like 3:1

until a little bit ago you go through all that prep, step into the ring, and immediately lose to the best build in the game at the time, which immediately tears your throat out with no counterplay.

it obviously had to be patched but it means i’m headed in the right direction because holy shit is that hilarious to me

#this is what i get for making a system where one hit KOs are a core mechanic a lot of builds revolve around #<3 #rip jeremy instakill you were bullshit while you lasted

i love RPG design today i got to say the phrase "God's Perfect Idiot combos too well with Ultimate Move"

I have to make myself clear: the character Power “God’s Perfect Idiot” currently allows for incredibly consistent one shot kills with the help of the Move Modifier “Ultimate Move”

like. your counterplay is: “win three skill contests in a row,” “have one very specific ability,” or “beat their absurdly strong Taunt they’ve been setting up” and if you can’t do any of those things you are instantly mocked to death

hey i recently found out something, if you have a party member with a vorpal sword and you have polymorph (and are atleast level 9) you can give guaranteed crits to the party member with the vorpal sword because the young silver dragon probably wasnt made to be polymorphed into

yeah it was not made to be polymorphed into, which is why:

that's right, you can't polymorph into silver dragons. it only allows transformation into beasts, not monstrosities or oozes, or, in this case, dragons. you're thinking about classic 9th level bullshit spell true polymorph, which can do pretty much anything because it's bullshit and i love it

and also, unrelated to the polymorph issue but still relevant for things like Hold Person shenanigans:

vorpal sword doesn't just apply on any old critical hit, but rather only specifically on natural 20s

i'm so fucking sorry

I’m working on a set of rules for handling unarmed pit fight style one on one brawls in 5e because the existing options suck and at some point I will post a PDF of it for anyone who’s interested in it.

It’s called No Magic No Items No Holds Barred and it turns punching a dude in the face into a combination of a strategic bluffing game and a series of skill checks with multiple levels of success and failure.

It’s a lot more complicated than just this but here’s a preview
