Call for Suggestions - New Rules and Mechanics for Endless Journeys
Added 2023-01-12 07:27:08 +0000 UTCAll right!
So the basic rules are out. If you didn't already see them, check out the first document here: Endless Journeys Core Rules.
But here's where the real fun begins: we're going to take this simple, basic system and build it out.
I'm pretty clever, but I'd rather you tell me what you wanna see. Since this is the early stages (and I posted this at 1 am), I'll make whatever comes across so long as it fits the following rules:
- Keep with the theme of the new world. I'm going for a mish-mash post-apocalyptic dark fantasy setting a la Dark Sun where wizards are horrible dark villains (I swear, I'm not bitter!), horrible monsters stalk the wastelands, and humanoids fight for survival within a small safe zone called The Enclave.
- Keep it simple. I'm going to keep things simple and add to it. So don't expect an entire library of spells in one shot. But maybe some basic mechanics for spellcasting? Doable.
- Don't stress about 5e stuff. Our adventures will still be compatible with 5e, folks. Not only do we have plenty of content in the pipeline, but we're clever enough writers that we can work around the OGL restrictions. This Patreon was built on 5e backers, and it shall remain so.
I look forward to your suggestions!

Better economics and different technology level or values on items based on location? Different currencies based on metal concentration in coins

2023-01-12 21:29:59 +0000 UTCA point buy system for characters would be nice as well... IF if fits. And a sanity mechanic seems to be in order as well. I mean characters should know why that puppy is barking daisies at them...

2023-01-12 11:24:08 +0000 UTCI like the idea of critical damage reducing armor effectiveness and fumbles destroying weapons... so maybe a simple improvised crafting mechanic?
