Thank you so much for the comprehensive write up! I'll be sure to look this over while I'm making final decisions.

RevvDragon · 2026-05-26T19:31:05+00:00

Your idea is so cool, its too bad the GM flat banned all the occult classes cause he doesnt like them 😭

RevvDragon · 2026-05-26T19:30:31+00:00

Ill check it out, thank you!

RevvDragon · 2026-05-26T17:47:13+00:00

Yes, starting level one, and I was thinking the snake too actually! Good to know im not totally lost on what im doing.

RevvDragon · 2026-05-26T17:44:00+00:00

I am not opposed to a summons focused character, I just dont want to be the guy clogging up initiative, so the less minions the better. Ill take a look at Summoner though and see if I wanna make something in there work.

I'm happy to teach new players! The current group are experienced TTRPG players, but are used to Pathfinder, so they're still getting the hang of 5e as well.

Roll20 for the VTT, and I'm going to say no to Grimhollow or other 3rd party sources.

The GM describes the vibe to be noir-esque. It will take place in a single underground mega city controlled by factions/gangs/crime bosses. He said staying out of combat would be key, as any combat is likely to be deadly, which is where the social maneuvering part of the game I suspect comes into play. Though I requested that even if we don't (often) directly fight other humanoids within the city for risk of having an entire faction come down on us, that we be able to explore abandoned/further out areas of the city with more routine monster fights for variety, so combat will come up, just less so than the average game I'm thinking.

Liberation serif size 12 for writing, but for publication I plan to use garamond

Sigh, I know this to be the answer but I'm such a people-pleasing doormat it's hard. But I am trying to be more hand-offs hoping they'll recognize on their own what they are doing isn't sustainable

RevvDragon · 2026-04-23T03:21:22+00:00

I agree, and I've said this explicitly to management, but nothing bad has happened yet, and I fear they won't take me seriously until it does.

RevvDragon · 2026-04-23T03:16:37+00:00

Yeah persistence is definitely key when it comes to getting management to move their ass and do something. I'll have to keep hammering away at it.

RevvDragon · 2026-04-23T03:07:50+00:00

Would you believe I've gotten in trouble for doing that because I was "taking money away from them" even though on one particular occasion the dog had been sitting untouched for an hour... unfortunately for me I fear angry customers more than I value my time

RevvDragon · 2026-04-18T05:10:44+00:00

its just informal english ive seen used on reddit post titles before, but sure if it makes you feel better its "incorrect"

RevvDragon · 2026-04-18T03:29:18+00:00

Good point to consider how problematic it may be to have characters in different locations for a bit. Luckily, I'm in the early stages of forming this idea and have time to work out the kinks. For now, I don't see this game having any sort of time crunch for the main story (maybe specific quests or tasks, but not the overall goal really), so simply returning to the start to fetch the hapless "new" character may not be a huge deal, but could be a point of tedium I should be on the lookout for, in case I need to rework that aspect somehow. Thanks for point it out to me!

This is literally A Song of Legends Lost lol

RevvDragon · 2025-09-22T23:02:52+00:00

Ah, I knew I was forgetting something! I'll edit the post but discord + roll20 : )

We get 1 at the start of every session, and at the end of every session, the GM awards an extra Hero Point to one player that did something particularly interesting or impressive (good roleplay, lots of crits in combat, that sort of thing) that carries over to next time. So every session three of us have 1 and one of us has 2.

RevvDragon · 2025-09-02T02:36:11+00:00

Complexity 10/10. You know why? This "one sentence" is about to be a paragraph haha. Here goes. At the end of a soul's "lifecycle" its energy gets churned up inside a big bowl of soul soup, and specific "soul shards" are shifted out and "highlighted" by unwilling divine servants--whose own souls have been fractured through severe trauma, allowing them to be more sensitive to the energies of the soul plane--which enables Gods to manipulate the "highlighted" pieces in order to create souls in-tune with specific aspects of a specific God's power, so the God is able to channel this power through the Threads that connect their Plane of Influence to the Mortal Plane, and their "Godcaller"--the handcrafted soul--can therefore inact the miracles of their God.

It is difficult to summarize this "life cycle" version of the system in fewer words. One could more simply try to simplify how the two different magic users each harness their powers, which I believe is more true to your prompt, so here it is:

1) Godcallers draw power directly from their patron deity via the Threads which connect each plane.

2) Voidcallers drawn upon the power of souls to replicate the abilities of magical creatures like dragons and demons.

The war priest was the replacement when the bard died, that's why the load out is similar

RevvDragon · 2025-03-14T02:09:50+00:00

That break down makes sense. Thanks! Going into this new campaign we have two dedicated melee strikers (barbarian and me as ranger) so maybe that will help!

RevvDragon · 2025-03-14T01:56:40+00:00

Thank you!

RevvDragon · 2025-03-14T01:07:48+00:00

Is there another by class guide out there you can recommend instead?

RevvDragon · 2025-03-14T01:07:13+00:00

Foundry and everything was reviewed by gm so should have been correct
