You Can't Die (but they can) now available!
Play as immortals protecting their loved ones across multiple generations! Or, if you're my friend from our game last night, have 16 kids who all hate you- making your only friend in the world a haunted morningstar!
This game is my submission to the one-page rpg jam this year. =)
A game about immortality for 2-4 players
A thing to try: don't make gods for your fantasy TTRPG setting.
Instead, get each player to tell you the god their character follows, then roll a d6 behind the screen.
6: Their god is real, and as powerful as they believe it to be; maybe they even listen to prayers; maybe they even care. Maybe they care more about if your shellfish wear mixed fabrics.
5: It's a real entity, but whose power is exaggerated - like as a river spirit, but they're worshipped thousands of miles away from it for prayers their expertise with rivers leaves them woefully unprepared to answer
4: It's a powerful demon or dragon or monster of some kind which has tricked people into worshipping it - sure it's powerful, but that power is entirely self-serving, it couldn't answer your prayers if it wanted to
3: It's a person who, through real power, political influence or just straight up charisma, has tricked people into worshipping them, or through a series of misunderstandings has been mistaken for a god against their will
2: It was a long-dead person whose legacy has passed into legend - they may once have been a 3, or they may just have been famous in their life and not seen as godly until long after their death
1: Just a wholesale myth with no basis in reality. Maybe your god started off as a cautionary tale a mother made up to stop her children sucking their thumbs and over the retellings the whole "god of war" thing just sort of happened because of the massive scissors, and now the scissors are gone and all that's left is battlefield chants.
And of course, let the players know about this before you roll. Tell them about their odds, but never tell them about their gods.
Serving Up Disaster is a TTRPG about a famous yet divisive TV Chef visiting various failing restaurants across the country.
In this game, one player facilitates play, arbitrates the rules, frames scenes, and portrays the character of “Chef”. In each session of play, Chef visits a new location with a whole new restaurant, with the aim of helping its Staff change their bad attitudes, repair their broken relationships, and overcome their intractable problems, to ensure a successful relaunch night, and a bright future of the restaurant.
The other players act as the Staff of the restaurant, playing out their characters’ desires and disasters as they work with Chef to turn their business around.
This game was inspired by binge-watching too many episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, and builds on tools from the Brindlewood Bay game engine.
This is an ashcan version that I'm putting out to hopefully raise some funds to pay for a proper editior / layout artists etc.
A TTRPG of Kitchen Nightmares
Made another cozy artificer, his name is Aran, and he's an armorer who makes all his infusions by knitting, crocheting, macrameing, or other yarn craft. While he doesn't seem the adventuring sort, he loves to travel and find new and interesting fibers that can be spun and crafted with.
What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?
Partial transformation - mummy rot is slowly turning you to sand, a near miss from a medusa left you with partially stoned body parts, etc.
Hypnotic suggestions from being mind controlled persist after the controller’s death, causing the victim to occasionally take actions to support the cause of a mind flayer cult that no longer exists.
Repeated demonic possession has left the patient with permanent gaps in their soul’s defenses, causing them to immediately get re-possessed if they go outside a consecrated area.
Post-resurrection trauma as the revived soul remembers an unpleasant afterlife.
Magical healing can get very weird if something is stuck in the wound. It’ll get you back on your feet, but you can get outcomes like “there’s a chunk of wood fused into your chest because the magic couldn’t figure out how to get the arrow out of your chest and just healed it in place,” and this can cause mobility issues or infection vectors down the line.
losing my mind at this amazing story from r/dndmemes some people’s dnd adventures are just. So Fucking Cool
here’s the link and the story, it’s Amazing
Delve into the depths of a mesmerizing aquatic realm, where shimmering coral cities and bioluminescent creatures coexist amidst the currents of magic. This realm harbors arcane wonders, vibrant sea life, and hidden mysteries waiting to be unveiled by brave adventurers!
Howdy everyone! Welcome to another map pack, one that is influenced by a very classic setting!
This pack includes 17 total maps including Ocean Floors, Sunken Ruins, Underwater Temples, and more!
Check out the full map pack here.
My full Table of Contents
I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash
It's got stuff like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, the dm's guide, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of Xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, class builds, and other fun stuff!!
Just editing this to say, holy shit. Maybe it's just because I'm looking at only the Planescape ones, but having relevant hyperlinks to 5etools is just amazing. It's like a dream I've had but never wanted to commit to. Thank you @tadfools
The settlement character sheet by gregolopogus on reddit
Has anyone else realized just how garbage the default 5e character sheet is? The cooler your character is, the worse the sheet is.
Heaven forbid you play an artificer.
I love using a paper sheet (hate digital sheet tabs and such, very limiting, very slow), but it is a pain to keep it up with just a pencil. Spells in particular can make a character sheet beefier than needed.
But I just finished a campaign (ended on 8th level) where I was playing an artificer and I was using a paper sheet. I just really wanted a paper sheet so I modified one of the variations of the standard sheet (I think the one that you can export from roll20), and I think I'm just going to use this template from now on. Because it had it to a point where everything I needed and would actually use was almost entirely on page 1. Everything past page 1 was details for things I was referencing on page 1.
Beyond level 8 I think it probably would have gotten a little too cluttered, but I could have worked around it.
This is the template, btw. I've been modding it in scribus (which is actually pretty easy, all things considered).
The only downside is that I was updating and reprinting every level up. However, I did reuse the pages to take notes on the back after a sheet was replaced (and that was nice, because I could double check how it was set up the last level and what resources and items were like before).
Yeah, I agree with you. The standard character sheet feels in some way reductive, and the space is too small to actually have a reference for every ability you will unlock when leveling up over 5th level. God forbid you actually go over level 10!
By then, if you're not using external tools to write down things, you will most certantly forget you have them at your disposal, because you'll have so many tools and not being able to remember them in a pinch will mean you'll default to always the same solutions, and that doesn't help your creativity flourish.
I too have made my own version of the character's sheet by cannibalizing other sheets and creating a sort of Frankestain's monster with all the things I loved about other sheets. Here it is, if you'd like to take a look <3
eta: I couldn't trace all the different part of this sheet to the original sheets, but I can assure you without them I wouldn't have been able to create this. I can tell you the last page has been lifted entirely from Gilliglyph work, which I adore, and the third probably was part of some official WotC content. The first page contains some features from John Bard's interpretation of the original, which is very well made as well.
Ooh, I see a lot in this that I really like. I do see some space I think could be used better, but it is overall better than what I've got. I might play around with some of these ideas.
No idea the source, but here have this.
Battle Damage Assets
Whoom! Flash! My players and I love adding damage to a map as combat takes place – give it a go with my new, free assets! 💣
→ Download them here!
Ditching D&D Beyond or never got it in the first place? Here's some free/pwyw resources.
Dicecloud. This online app allows you to make and track character sheets for free! It does a lot of the calculations for you, just like dnd beyond would. Best overall replacement. (Thank you, @chryslerisdead)
PWYW Class Character Sheets by Emmet Byrne. These character sheets in my opinion, are easier to fill out and harder to mess up, with class-specific features built-in. You can easily edit them digitally, and there's even multiclass/homebrew options. Slap em on Google drive or something, share with your DM, lots of options.
Point-Buy Calculator. Easily automates character stat creation if you're using the Point-Buy system.
5e Level Up Tool. Select your class, select your level, get a digestible checklist of everything you need to do to level up. This one is SO GOOD and so slept on.
5e Spellbook. A quick way to reference your spells and build a Spellbook with a ton of filters.
Encounter Calculator. I know challenge rating isn't everything, but this is a good/fast way to see how balanced your encounters are, at a glance, at least in the eyes of the source books.
RPGbot. Lots of resources for DMs and players: encounter builders, dpr calculators, and lists of player options with sample builds and optimization suggestions, which may be helpful to folks new to the game.
Bonus: Online Tools (System Agnostic)
Here.fm. This is the alternative I use instead of roll20, because it's faster/easier. Drag and drop in maps and tokens in seconds, built-in library of stickers you can use for effects, draw right on the virtual tabletop, use temporary drawings to map out moves, built-in dice rollers, and options for proximity chat. I use it in combination with discord (just have players join your here room muted), but it could be used entirely on it's own, I imagine. Not built for ttrpgs, but works incredibly well for them.
Kenku.fm. A PWYW mini browser focused on mixing and sharing music to your dnd games through whatever app you use, with helpful discord support. This app also LEGALLY bypasses the issue that got all the YouTube discord bots shut down, so you can share YouTube audio worry-free.
Additional Resources (Aka, stuff I found out about after I originally posted this):
flapkan. Holy shit, this might be the BEST character sheet option on this list! Form-fillable pdfs with fully automated built-in prompts to auto fill features and spells, built-in Point-Buy and other automated calculations, and it generates a lot for you. Can be used digitally or you can print!
A collection of free, Creative Commons and paid resources for TTRPG creators.
@starshinescribbles developed this incredible resource for ttrpg creators, and it’s too good not to share!
Pictures, sounds, fonts, frameworks, and no AI shit!
Ok. This is a bizarre request and I apologize in advance, but it is 100% serious. Are there any ttrpgs that either take inspiration from King of the Hill, or that you would think run adjacent to the sort of themes/settings present in KOTH? (Think like semi-modern/late 90s, rural/texan setting, slice-of-life, etc?)
(Context: Me and a friend have been entertaining the idea of a KOTH podcast as something to do for fun, and I think it would be fun to do a live-play ttrpg interlude at some point, but I'm struggling to come up with something, and too tired to make my own ruleset haha.)
THEME: Rural Slice-of-Life.
Four games about everyday life or suburbia coming right up!
Dads and Decks, by CABBAGEHEAD.
Dads & Decks is a quick and easy-to-play roleplaying game about Dads and their Decks.
YOU ARE A GROUP OF DADS GETTING READY FOR THE ULTIMATE BARBECUE. But suddenly, a MUNDANE DECK-RELATED PROBLEM has occurred. Using your DADS and DECKS, you must solve this problem together or your WEEKEND will be ruined.
Solve the mystery of the creaky floorboard or journey through the dangerous lands of Home Depot to retrieve the Holy Grill. Play together, be the Dad you want to see in the world and have fun!
This is a quick, fun, Lasers and Feelings hack that I feel could really replicate the banter that goes on between Hank Hill and his buddies throughout King of the Hill. If you want to replace the Deck-related problem with a problem that rings more true to King of the Hill, it won’t take much to make a switch!
Every TV Show Ever, by rossum.
Don't touch that dial and remember to set the DVR!
This is meant to be a quick bare-bones way to construct any kind of tv show, from a historical drama, to a kids cartoon. Each character will take a different role, such as Matriarch, Patriarch, Craftsman or Clown. You spend some time building the world and then drop a problem into the player’s laps. You navigate a series of scenes represented via index cards, and use d6’s to determine how your characters do. There’s nothing fancy here, but if you want to have a basic rule set that you can expand upon, this might work out.
Kids on Bikes, by Hunters Entertainment.
Choose your OWN destiny in this storytelling rules-light tabletop role-playing game where adventure is a bike ride away. Kids on Bikes is a Collaborative World Building RPG set in small towns with big mysteries.
Kids on Bikes may look like an ill fit at first, but the game actually has mechanics for building adults! Additionally, there is a scenario in Strange Adventures: Volume One that posits you as Dads, a twist of the original premise. This module was originally called Dads on Mowers, but I think it’s currently called Garuda Lake. This is a game that’s designed to present you with rumours that turn into mysteries, and is especially designed for stories in which the paranormal and supernatural bleed into everyday life.
The Carter County PTA, by Minor Arcana Games.
Join the obsessive parents and desperate teachers of the PTA as each stands upon a hill they're willing to die on. Tonight is the long-awaited PTA meeting and everyone will vote on whatever passion project or much-needed reform you've added to the agenda. Along the way, you'll uncover the high-stakes backstory of each Agenda Item, revealing the personal politics, wacky hijinks and sordid stories that lurk behind the PTA's prim and polished exterior.
A diceless, GM-less game, this is a game for fans of Peggy Hill specifically. All of you have big plans for the local school and you will trample anyone who gets in the way of it. You’ll uncover personal politics and wacky backstories through a series of flashbacks, all the while pressuring the other parents and teachers to vote for your pet policy. Great for small-town drama and petty rivalries!
Ooh! I finally have one of these where I get to talk about one of my very favorite games: Turn by Thoughty Games
Turn is a rural/small town slice of life rpg where everyone plays secret shapeshifters (werewolves, wereotters, etc).
This game was the very first pbta game I encountered, before i'd even heard of the term pbta or any other pbta games and I was enraptured.
This game has been so inspirational to me as a game designer, and little bits of Turns inspiration can be seen through many of my own games.
