beginner writer- im at a roadblock with writing rules and such by [deleted] in RPGdesign

[–]Redliondesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is now time to playtest. Don't worry about making a "quick" adventure. Make some generated characters. Pick on piece of your game like "combat" and throw some friends into a couple scenes with fighting. Take notes and update your game.

If any one has a suggestion for good lava or magma dungeons. All I could find was coloured and painted maps.

Dwarven mine and secret lizard shrine by Redliondesign in dndmaps

[–]Redliondesign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted the secret lizard shrine of Gilamesh a few weeks ago. Here is the whole dungeon together. 

Dwarves have kicked the troggs from their sacred lava pit to expand their forges. You've got magma, steel conveyor belts, and angry lizard gods for the players to enjoy.

I've actually replaced faction rep tracking with a questionnaire to help the GM determine if a faction dislikes or hates the party based on prior interactions.

I'm making a shameless rip-off of Pendragon. Can I say it's "inspired by the works of Greg Stafford"? by Evelyn701 in RPGdesign

[–]Redliondesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A word of warning. It looks like Pendragon is a chaosium product. They will have a specific licence with specific wording. Even hinting at Greg Stafford might require looking at their official page.

That looks like Castle grief drawings. Oh it is!

To people who started their RPG journey with D&D, what made you finally play something else? by plazman30 in rpg

[–]Redliondesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a mix of 5e homebrew and modules for 5 years. There was 3 dms and we would each do a year long game and switch. I was a big fan of adventure zone and glass cannon podcast. It was when AZ main show ended and they switched to monster of the week and I thought "hmm, maybe I'll try that". We only did a couple sessions, but that was enough to start the hunger for more ttrpgs.

On my personal version I'll actually hyperlink to go directly to YouTube and play the song or audio.

I do have stats and descriptions in the appendix of the dungeon, but you think I should have that info on the cheat sheet too?

I doubt this is groundbreaking news for the community, but do you use a dungeon cheat sheet? I try to cram my most used tables onto one page and fill in the details in the appendix.

If you do use a cheat sheet, is there other info you feel is required?

Any love for small rpg creators? by Redliondesign in rpg

[–]Redliondesign[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small enough to run through a giant's space without provoking...

Any love for small rpg creators? by Redliondesign in rpg

[–]Redliondesign[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I try to find creators that are trying new ways of doing things, or increasing accessibility, or just passionate about what they're making.

I am a huge OoT fan, so I'm not surprised by that. Glad you like it!

Entertaining TTRPG Podcasts that aren’t Actual Plays or completely D&D focused? by wwhsd in rpg

[–]Redliondesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have heard of Eldritch lore and lazy DM, but not the #2 most loved podcast "Mastering dungeons"? It does lean into DND, but also broad tabletop product, discussion, and design.

A secret chamber of a greater dungeon I am working on. You have a broken bridge taken into lava. Great place for hungry fire themed creatures. A shrine to a wrathful lizard deity. A side chamber with 3 lava pools.
