2014 Review and 2015 Resolutions

2014 Has been a pretty sucky year for me.  I've been down with a back injury for most of the year, often so bad I couldn't even sit in a chair to game online.  I've had my Pathfinder horror campaign completely crash and burn.  I missed the end of the Rise of the Runelords campaign again.  I had to shut down my Pathfinder cyberpunk game after only a couple of sessions because of a relapse.  The local comic book / game store shut down too, and I've had no luck finding a local gaming group.

There have been some positive points in 2014.  D&D 5e turned out to be a big surprise, and with the rumors of an OGL-style license coming, this could be the version I've been waiting for.  I also got a solid start on my Pathfinder cyberpunk rules and supplements, including my cyberpunk world.  My cyberpunk stuff also grew into a new space setting, starting out as a how-to envisioned novel.  I ended the year with a bang for coming up with two new caster classes -- a mana caster class and a rune caster class that I am tweaking for Pathfinder.  Oh, and I can't forget the twitter storm I generated when the Dungeon Bastard shared one of my tweets and Chris Perkins favorited it.  That was awesome.

2015 For me is a year to get healthy and get my attendance up to 100% for games, for work, and generally, for life.  I've been disabled for too long with this injury, and with some positive progress again, I just want to be done with this.

My resolution for January is to find one campaign to play in and to run one campaign -- my Pathfinder cyberpunk game.  If I can achieve those goals I would be happy.  I'd like to level off my gaming blog visits and maybe grow them a bit.  I'd like to try vlogging at some point.  I'd also like to try to keep up with the twitterverse and generate some good consistent solid content.

I have lots of stretch goals.  I want to run a Ponyfinder game.  I want to run/play in a Numenera game.  I want to GM a D&D 5e campaign.  I want to get to space in my Pathfinder cyberpunk game, and maybe even split it so I have one space campaign and one cyberpunk on-the-ground campaign.  I also hope to get a physical in-person game connection, since everything I'm doing otherwise is on roll20.  I also want to get each of my daughters at home into a game with me, either as GM or player.  Someday I even hope to get back to 13th Age.  Oh, and there are the hundreds of miniatures, inclduing Dwarven Forge cavern tiles that I need to paint...

I hope this year start finds everyone well and happy and positive.  May the new year bring you new blessings and better games!

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here  with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp  OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta...

Rules for Flying Creatures in 5E

I'm not one for just throwing my players willy-nilly into something new without an idea of how it would work.  Flying races are on the horizon for one of my games, so here are my clarifications for flying creatures: A flying creatures requires a minimum space of at least 3 times their height in all directions in order to flight. For example, a 6 ft tall flying creature requires a room to be at least 18 ft in all dimensions before they can fly in it. A flying creature can attempt to grapple a creature.  If the the target or grappler are flying, grapple attempts are at disadvantage. If neither are flying, grapples are per RAW.  The state of flying or walking is determined by the last square you have moved.  To change between walking and/or flying, you must use at least 1 space of movement.  Movement rules per RAW apply (PHB pg 190 "Using Different Speeds") A successful grapple check by a flying creature can allow the flying creature to potentially carry th...

Exploiting Weakness in D&D 5e: A Guide for the Evil Plotting GM

I wrote a similar article to this on Pathfinder, and though this is a pretty evil topic, it has been of use to a lot of folks out there.  So, now, I think, is the time to start a similar article for D&D 5e.  This will be a living document to be updated with suggestions and more information as I find better methods. In general, 5e is a lot more challenging for a GM, because the classes are reasonably balanced and because the game mechanics don't have a lot of scale over the 20 levels. Here's a general list of things to increase the difficulty for the party: Increase the number of foes and the CR (ignore the book CR system if it isn't offering a challenge) Spells against the PCs low saves.  A high level sleep spell, for example, could take out a party with no elves. Drag out the opportunity for the long rest.  After 2 short rests, the 3rd battle of the day is tough. Hit the most vulnerable PC first. It almost always forces another teammate to take an acti...
