The stream currently runs at 9pm GMT/5pm EDT/2pm PDT Tuesday/Friday; some people have expressed preference to move it to a later time slot.
I can do this, but I figured I'd leave it to the poll to decide just to make sure I've getting a broad representation of the opinions.
There will be a second poll up shortly for what to work on n...

...okay, so that's a bit of a long title. The title ended up becoming about a whole Twitter post :D
These are the same as shared on Reddit earlier, with some tweaks based on the feedback so far.
Versatile Fighting and Trick Shooter will probably be updated soon; the 4 striker feats are this pass.
What weapons and methods of fi...

This is a lot later than I'd hoped... and doesn't have the Expanded Toolbox update, but I wanted to go ahead and post this. There is a definitely a danger with fussing with something too long.

Based on a patreon request, I take a stab in unfamiliar new territory - a Blood Hunter class.
Design Notes:
Hi folks, this might be an the unwise sort of update in a business sense but one that I feel needs to be sent out.
The world is a crazy place right now, and I know that many of you have been impacted by what's going on with COVID-19 and the accompanying economic woes.
For the month of April, I will keep anyone that was previously at ...

If there's a Circle of the Moon, it seems only sensible there should be a Circle of the Sun. Based on patreon request we bring a little more fire and radiance to the druid line up. I had a few design goals in mind here.

So a sneak peak at the spells going into the Occultist! Some of these have been seen before, this includes the current versions of Part 1 that have made the cut so far.
Returning Spells:
The Occutlist will launch with the Witch and Shaman subclasses. The Occutlist is a Wisdom based full caster, with a talent/upgrade/invocation system called Occult Rites.
The Witch is a spell caster with empowered hexes, familiars, a broad base of spell casting, and abilities and rites that grant the knack for brewing potio...

I've linked to the Expanded Options here because that's where most of the changes were, but there are some changes in the main document.
I decided to style this as 1.2.3 after all due to the fact the changes in the main document are fairly minor (most of the changes are in the Expanded Options), and it doesn't introduce a new subclas...

What happens when a Fighter spends half as much time thinking about how to optimally make stabbing devices as how to optimally stab people? The Tech Knight.

A new Bard subclass based on a patreon request. Something a little different this time; it's always a tricky thing to find a thematic line for an idea that is also a new mechanical hook for that class.
The original idea stemmed from making something related to glassblowing; I combined a few ideas I had into this subclass for that - first o...

This update features:
So this has currently the absolute bear bones of enchanting, definitely a WIP, just some samples as I start to dig into it.
It also has a prototype of a javascript based solution to endless tables I'm playing around with; right now that part is just a tech demo to see if I could make it work in GMBinder; I don't know if that will be includ...

We aren't ready for the first draft of the Occultist, but while that's simmering I figured I'd share something of a preview for it in the form of some of the spells it would be getting.
The Occultist will launch with ~20-30 new spells (the Wizard has about 34 unique spells to it); this is 9 of those new spells, so about half to a third of ...
2020-02-04 01:38:34 +0000 UTC View PostWith the 1.2.2, the Psion is ready to head for 1.3 which will be either a new subclass, or a new Discipline. Vote for what you want to see!
Short Description of Options:
This isn't a huge update, I'd say it's more setting up for 1.3 than a real 1.3... which is why it's called 1.2.2 :)
But it does have a lot of minor balance tweaks.
The Expanded Options for Psion are now available. Most of you have already seen...

First off... this is a deeply incomplete version. This isn't the most complete version I've made over the past months even, and it's by all rights too early to share. But I've decided to share this version, because I feel like this is probably the direction things are going, and I figure I should include you all in that process.

No, this is not a general pivot to the WotC Artificer or anything, this was a patreon request that I said I didn't mind doing as it seemed like a fun idea. It was an interesting project, and gave me a chance to fiddle with how the WotC Artificer subclasses work.

A patreon request subclass, it's still in its early days, but wanted to share it out with you all you.
Well, this is admittedly squeaking in just over the line, and will continue to be revised a bit in the next month; brought to by a patreon request, this is a new Discipline for Psions, and what will be the start of it's expanded mindbox of additional options.
The power to reject magic and all of the supernatural nonsense with the force of ...

Yeah, this one is a bit different. Based off a patreon request, here's the College of Lyrical Genius; thematically it's based off a 'rap bard', with some other related thematic elements swirled in to make a true Bard of Bards.
As it Bard tradition, it allows you to get into more trouble with your mouth than out of it, b...
