Tabula Rasa Background | A Background for those who just woke up and forgot everything
PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here! I release everything for free, so your support makes this possible. I've also started making a new system based off of 5e, 6th Dawn! Become a patron and join the playtest.
The amnesiac is a narrative staple for making a character immediate mysterious. I mean, what could be more of a mystery than someone who is a mystery even to themselves. So, of course, in the theme of remembrance and being a contrarian by nature, I couldn't help myself.
Now, of course, any character can have amnesia as a part of their background regardless of what mechanical Background (capital B) they actually choose. Repressed memories, magical bullshit, or whatever. It's excellent fodder for GMs to take creative licence on the character's past and weird traumas to give them.
But this character is fresh, they haven't become something new yet (which will by definition be adventurer) so they are still defined by their woefully absent memories.
At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:
Circle of Ancestors
They Came for Our Trash!
Nature's Fury
The Broad Range of Nature
I also have four classes, and two splatbooks over on DriveThruRPG to check out:
The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.
The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.
The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.
The Beguiler. A spellcaster dedicated to illusions, enchantments, and general fuckery.
d'Artagnan's Adventurer Almanac. A compendium of races, subclasses, feats, spells, monsters and more!
d'Artagnan's Lycanthrope Survival Guide. A book of lore, stats, and werebeast subclasses for lycanthropes.
i am once again asking what traits y'all like/want more of in playable species options in your fantasy ttrpgs :]
Before it got destroyed, what kind of furniture did Aika keep in her place?
Aikea furniture
RPG Trader just went live as an alternative indie ttrpg shop to dtrpg and itch. It's got some promising features and I think it's worth checking out. Spread the word!
TTRPGs from digital to print, made simple.
Me at all fantasy RPGs:
My only argument here is that "species" sounds out of genre. AKA the vibes are off. Certainly "race" as we use it in the modern day is horrifically inappropriate, but it also doesn't mean anything significant in a biological sense almost like the word "vegetable". (I bring up biology only because that's the basis of using the word "species" to begin with"
As an aside, I do see "Lineage" thrown around as a replacement, but I see that as too narrow a term, like your neighbour Geoff is of a different lineage narrow.
Pathfinder 2e's "ancestry" and "heritage" definitely have the most appropriate vibe while also avoiding the term "race".
Predictions for Dungeons & Dragons under Hasbro's management in the coming years:
Uma Musume style horsegirls introduced to the Forgotten Realms; setting's lore revised so that they've always been there.
Advancement rules now stipulate per-session XP bonus based on lifetime D&D Beyond purchase history.
Compendium of exclusive feat trees for specific gender and sexual identities. Bisexuality receives no feats of its own, being mechanically implemented as "half gay"; the resulting synergies are disgusting.
Editorial error in revised Dungeon Master's Guide accidentally refers to Dungeon Masters as Hasbro's employees.
"Noble savage" coding of barbarian class walked back, refocused on European folkloric touchstones such as the Ulster Cycle; all barbarian characters become Irish stereotypes.
AI-based DM service trained exclusively on work of Ed Greenwood launched; withdrawn a week later citing "guiderail issues".
Expanded discussion of navigating player expectations frames "not showing up at all" as a valid playstyle.
Dragon-blooded sorcerer subclass revised to state that one of the character's ancestors was "very good friends" with a dragon.
Didn't that last one actually get implemented into canon?
Hasbro has indeed spent the last several years pushing back against dragonfucking jokes so hard that they've gone as far as to revise some of the setting lore to imply that dragons don't even fuck each other, but they haven't yet had the guts to pull the trigger on taking the option of literal dragon ancestry off the table for sorcerers.
(The 5.5E writeup for dragon-blooded sorcerers does list "making a bargain" with a dragon above the actual-ancestry option, though, which is funny as hell. Yeah, I'll bet it was a mutually beneficial exchange!)
Third one feels like something I'd expect more of older D&D editions. I don't think Hasbro would touch a sexuality compendium with a ten-foot pole. I expect more of a "here's all the sexualities and genders your character can be!" followed by a set of adventures and campaigns focused on and actively rewarding cishet player characters
Unrelated to RPGs, but I had a dream where I had the rules of heaven explained to me, and here they are:
Any animal you put salt on goes to heaven with you when you die (there are lots of slugs in heaven).
If you insult a Pokemon even once, believe it or not? Straight to hell.
(Incidentally, Hell recently stopped tormenting people because they're trying to find the soul of Walter White from Breaking Bad. The demons thought it was a documentary and the damned don't want to correct them, you know?)
Heaven has a library with every book and a library with every magazine. When you die, you have to choose which you want before you can go to Heaven.
Every ten years you get vacation days and can go to either earth or hell. They recommend earth but it's your choice really.
The damned also get vacation days. Please don't bother the damned souls while they're up here, they have it bad enough already.
God is a horse. Please don't bring it up, he's pretty sensitive about it.
If you have issues with Heaven, don't worry! There's a basement and if you complain, you get to go in the basement until you stop complaining.
Contrary to popular belief, heaven doesn't last forever. It lasts for an average of 10 billion years (depending on how much technology you want in your heaven house). At the end, you turn into a cake and everyone eats you.
Please remake your setting's celestial planes in accordance with these rules, thank you.

the among us show being a total gorefest on par with john carpenter's the thing is a really fun choice
the among us show having a gay orgy in the middle of it is another really fun choice
realizing many people don't know about infinity train creator owen dennis' among us show from years ago, which has been trapped in unreleased limbo all this time and was just dumped on streaming this morning with no advertisement. they don't even know about its weirdly stacked cast
physicists: think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
chemists: don't think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
biologists: aren't even sure they know enough to be an authority in their own firld
mathematicians: don't understand why you seem to think they'd ever want to leave the beautiful and pure realm of numbers and have anything to do with any other field

This was harder than I expected it to be. I suppose the fact that modify memory exists as a very lovely spell made this harder than it needed to be. As such, I only have four spells, but they should be fun enough
Curse of Isolation
One of the first ones I devised for this set of spells. I was slightly inspired by that curse in pathfinder that makes people refuse to want to deal with you. This one is worse, and yet less cruel.
Forget You Saw Me

Share Recollection
I once used the Phantasmal Force spell to impart an event into someone's head. (I had to use some forced perspective to make it fit, but that's fine; it's also why I rewrote the spell to scale) While that technically worked, it's really not how the spell should be used. But, because I am a gremlin, you can also lie >:)
Total Recall
Yes, this may have been based entirely on the name of a movie (well, two. Such is the way of novel adaption). Gain the keen mind feat for the low low price of a 3rd level spell slot

In remembrance of the term "remembrance" we honour its role in history as the thing we do. So, following my naming wizard subclasses like departments of a university, we have history for time magic. That's it. That's the post.
Student of History
This is basically required, no commentary here.
The Past's Greatest Hits
The pun was needed here. Also a fantastic offensive or defensive tool. You can theoretically chain these. It's not really meant to work on crits because that fucks up the math
Visions of the Past
Not the best name. But fucking with initiative is not explored enough in 5e, so I'm doing my part.
Unwind Magic
Basically a free unlevelled counterspell. Use it wisely.
Turn Back Time
And cheat death. Its Sands of Time all over again! I did contemplate making it target an ally as an option. Give your opinions of that in the comments

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

Just 87 hours left!
i like it when fantasy settings make the necromancer class or party member kind, and the dead are eager to help out because they're nice :)
D&D idea: a dragon character who hoards secrets. Maybe they're a boss, maybe a friendly NPC, who knows -- but whatever they are to the players, their hoard consists of secrets given to them by passing travelers, traded for with lichs and the oldest of elves, offered to them by desperate parents seeking a cure for their child's illness.
Could the players barter to see one of those secrets? Would they have to steal one? Does the dragon know when a secret is shared elsewhere? Does that even matter to them? Does the dragon demand secrets from them alone or from the group as a whole? Does this create tension between the player characters?
How does the dragon store these secrets? Recorded in books? On scrolls stored in rows up on rows of shelves? In tiny scraps of parchment, secured in glass bottles? A mix of all of the above?
I feel like you could do some awesome roleplaying with a dragon like this.
