Please do! I could certainly use it as a source of inspiration.
So, a friend of mine wanted to play [This class](https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Flagellant_(5e_Class)) for our homebrew campaign, but as all things DanDWiki related, it sucked hard: balance was completely out of the window, many features were written badly, some features overlapped or made no sense at all... You get the gist. Typical DanDWiki stuff. Anyway, I really had no interest in the class itself (and I have not played the game the class is based on, Darkest Dungeon), but my friend was really keen on playing this class, so we sat down and worked together to fix it. We kept as much of the original flavour as possible, rebalanced the class as best as we could, trimmed the fat, and then we gave it a nice aesthetic refinement. All things considered, I'm pretty satisfied with the result. The campaign will launch shortly after this post, which should provide better context and feedback, but for the time being, I'll release it here as well, in case others are interested.

Are the 5e apologists in the room with us?
No, but seriously, most people I know (rightfully) criticize 5e for a lot of things, from sloppy writing in general, to shitty adventure books, to nonsensical rulings and poor balance. I've never met someone willing to defend 5e so passionately.
I've always claimed that base 5e is basically unplayable past tier 2 because of how wild power scaling becomes, and how sloppy certain rules are (God forbid that your wizard doesn't attempt to Shapeshift the Fighter's Echo before you even reach tier 3). And frankly, base 5e is too boring to play for long, anyway. Homebrew is where it's at.

It's rare to see a RPGmaker game with VA. I wonder how that happened. RPGmaker is the tool that you use when you don't have money to spend on anything but still want to make a game.
You got me curious. I'll check it one of these days. I like narrative-heavy games and it seems right up my alley.

This happened to me once, in reverse. A mailman had my same surname and was from the same town as my father.
He really was interested in finding out if we were somehow related, but I was, like, "buddy, I worked night shift, please, let me sleep".
He was a bit disappointed in my reaction, and I still think about it. I don't know where you are now, random maybe-distantly-related mail buddy, but I want you to know that I'm sorry and I wish you the best.

I’ve just checked the rules and yes it could have an NSFW tag even though no nudity is shown but that is a far cry from “has no place”
Screenshots of a game have a place in this community when they are used to actually discussing the game. Which is the point a lot of these "daily screenshot" posts are missing. There is no discussion here because OP didn't bother discussing anything, it's just a random collection of pics. Unless you count "showing that the game has a player-controlled camera" as "demoing game mechanics".
I would 100% consider this a low-effort post, which is against the rules of c/games.

Is this kind of horny-posting really necessary?
There are countless NSFW/barely NSFW communities out there, including a metric ton of anime pic communities. This has nothing to do with c/games.
At least tag it appropriately.

Apparently there was barely any change from the playtest version. Key points: - Bastions are acquired at lv5. - Each player has their own bastion. Bastions can be grouped together into one bastion, but they are still treated as different bastions for the purpose of mechanics, except that grouped bastions can defend each other from attacks. - Bastions can be populated with "basic facilities" (whose only purpose is flavour, apparently) and "special facilities". The latter provide actual tangible benefits by issuing orders to them during the "bastion turn" (once every 7 days). Special facilities are acquired as the players level up: two at 5th and 9th level, and one more at 13th and 17th level. - Both types of facilities come in three sizes: "cramped" (4 squares), "roomy" (16 squares) and "vast" (36 squares), and can be upgraded later on. Some special facilities may have a minimum size requirement. - The article provides three examples of special facilities. I'm not going to copy-paste them (click the link, you cowards). - Project Sigil (WotC's own Virtual Tabletop) ad. Multiple ads, actually. My God stop talking about Sigil pls. - Attacks seem... Lackluster. "In the event of an attack on your Bastion, a number of d6s are rolled. For each die that rolls a 1, your Bastion loses that many Bastion Defenders. If you don’t have any Bastion Defenders or lose them all in an attack, a random special facility is shut down for your next Bastion turn." Bastions that are grouped together can sum up their defenders total. From what I'm reading, there are very few changes from how it worked in the playtest. I guess they were either lazy, didn't have enough time to integrate feedback, or both. This thing only exists to sell Sigil.

As spotted by Windows Central, though, Jyamma CEO Jacky Greco later went into additional detail on Discord. Following a community manager's statement dismissing speculation the studio had been "paid by Sony", Greco shared his own frustrations relating to the delay. "You can ask Xbox why they haven't answered us for two months," he wrote. "Obviously they don't care about Enotria and they don't care about you... We've Xbox Series X/S version ready, but we can't proceed with submission and release, I spent a lot of money for porting and they decided to ignore us." A similar statement also appeared on Enotria's X/Twitter feed. After a fan inquired about the "main challenge" holding up release, Jyamma wrote, "Communication with Xbox. The game works fine on Series S and X but we cannot go through the submission process and they can take even two months to reply to us." Greco later shared a little more on the issue the studio had enountered, explaining it was unable to open Enotria's Xbox store page and submit the game - something Microsoft's support teams reportedly initially took responsibility for, before further communications were ignored. "We really want to release the game on Xbox ASAP," Jyamma added elsewhere, "but with lack of communication on their side it is a hard task indeed." The suggestion seems to be things might be resolved pretty quickly if Jyamma could get a response from Microsoft, but in the meantime, Enotria: The Last Song will only be available for PlayStation 5 and PC when it launches on 19th September.
I’m posting this because the DnD homebrew community is hosted on a different server than the rest of the RPG network, and some people might not know it exists. Universal link: !dndhomebrew@lemmy.world Alternate links: https://lemmyverse.link/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/dndhomebrew https://ttrpg.network/c/dndhomebrew@lemmy.world DnDHomebrew is a community dedicated to sharing and giving feedback on homebrew material for DnD 5e. It doesn’t see regular activity, which is a nice change of pace from the UnearthedArcana subreddit (where low-quality AI-written homebrews are posted daily), but it can get a bit monotonous in the long run. I’ve tried keeping it active over the past few months, and there are other content creators sharing great pieces of homebrew, such as Consort’s [playable dragons](https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/11750175) and [magical items](https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.world/post/17459914). However, I’d love to see more activity from other users as well. Please join us if you feel like sharing your homebrew rules, classes or whatever, or if you'd like to spice your games with additional options!
In the past few months, I've been hard at working creating revamped versions of subpar classes for the original game: the [Heroic Warrior (revamped fighter)](https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/post/18745638), the [Highlander (revamped Barbarian)](https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/post/18860730), and this one's the Disciple, my revamped Monk. As always, the purpose of my reworked classes is to make them more fun to play, giving more choices to the player both during the character creation process and in day-to-day play, and to raise their power level to a more acceptable standard, while also keeping as many of the core features as possible and not raising the bar of complexity. Unfortunately, with DnD 2024 approaching I doubt that these classes will see much use, so unless I really need them for my weekly plays with my party, I doubt I'll keep working on them, as I think there's just not enough demand. For this reason, these classes are presented as-is, even if they are incomplete (the Disciple, for example, has perfectly functioning class features but no subclasses) for the folks who, like me, is considering sticking to 5e. Ko Fi: https://ko-fi.com/taverntalesdnd MEGA (pdf download/online pdf reader): https://mega.nz/file/jVVRDZ6Q#fQNh9zYdI07wRNGnKLdFYTiPV272yIKmztHzKe9JiPY    
Since DnD2024 is releasing soon and there's not much point in working on 5e classes anymore, I'm releasing everything I've created in the past few months, even if it's not finished. The Highlander is my revision of the Barbarian. The revision aims at improving both the performance of the class (which, as most people know, was pretty much dead weight after lv~8) and the feeling during play (which means, having things to do other than raging and smashing stuff), while also keeping the core mechanics as close to the original source as possible, and without adding unnecessary complexity. The class was meant to be played alongside my other homebrew classes, of which I've already released the [Heroic Warrior (revamped Fighter)](https://lemmy.world/post/18745638). As you can clearly see, this homebrew is not finished: the class itself is functional, but there is only one subclass. I was planning on going back and adding new subclasses after I played a campaign as a Barbarian to get a general feel of how it plays, but I never got the chance and, with DnD2024 approaching, there's not much point anyway, as I don't think that people will play 5e classes anymore. Having said that, I hope that you'll enjoy it. Feedback are always welcome, and I'm always curious to hear others' opinions on my design choices. Maybe one day I'll finish working on it!

In the past few months, I have been working on revamped classes for DnD5e for personal use. This is my revamped Fighter, which I've played in a (still ongoing) campaign for the past few months and had a blast with. Unfortunately, with DnD 2024 approaching, I see very little incentive in working on this still. I don't even think people will be interested in trying it with the new rules. I don't like DnD 2024 and the 2024 Fighter looks bland and boring to me, so I'll keep playing this one instead, but I don't see myself updating it further in the future unless I find a really broken combo that needs addressing. So, this is kind of the end, and it's a bit bittersweet to me. Please, enjoy :) Imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/wiVrW5C Online reader and PDF download: https://mega.nz/file/yYEmDJpS#s-nH0E5x_s5rLXHdvv8oGV79vAhxfKMy3xJ5KLM1sSs Ko Fi: https://ko-fi.com/taverntalesdnd          
Inkarnate is giving away 10-days free Pro membership, so I took the bait and tried it. I decided to use the limited time to bring a very old concept of mine to life, which I originally conceived as a kid in high school. Overall, there's a lot of improvements to be made (especially since I decided to stick to the original concept as much as possible, which was... not very good to begin with lol), but I had a lot of fun and it allowed me to unwind a bit before going to bed, which was nice. Not sure if I'll stick to Inkarnate Pro, however. Inkarnate is good, but it's web browser-only and subscription-only, which are both dealbreakers for me. I think I'll try Wonderdraft next!

This is exciting news for every aspiring game developer! Brackeys, a popular YouTuber who used to make in-depth and *very* user-friendly tutorials about Unity, is returning after a long hiatus, and will now create tutorials on Godot (for those who don't know, it's a FOSS game engine, but I'm pretty sure that, if you have an account here, you already know it). Brackeys' tutorials were (and still are) the best tutorials for Unity, and have helped many aspiring devs (some of whom I know personally, and who later made a career out of it). His return, and the fact that he's now chosen to specialize on Godot, is a game-changer (pun intended) for the accessibility of the FOSS engine. Considering the recent Unity debacle, I'm happy that Brackeys will help people jump the ship, and I'm sure it will be instrumental in its success in the future.

If I sort a multicommunity by 'Hot', it will show all posts from community 1, then all posts by community 2, etc... kind of defying the purpose of a multicommunity at all. I solved it by sorting by 'New' instead, but I figured I'd mention it here because it took me a while to notice - I thought people were not making new posts at all, while in fact, it was just displaying all posts by a lowly populated community first.

  FIRST PIC TRANSCRIPTION: Dear Pokémon fan game community, It is with heavy heart that I announce that the Relic Castle website has been taken down following a DMCA takedown notice. Relic Castle has always been a non-profit, ad-free, tight-knit community and we pride ourselves in what we have achieved. Members have felt at home, made friends, and even careers with us. It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that the forum part of this community, which was to turn 10 years old this year, has had to come to an end. With over 20.000 members and 65.000 posts, Relic Castle was a home to many of us. The [Discord server](https://discord.gg/reliccastle) is not going anywhere, and the site is still visible as an archive using the Wayback Machine. Thank you all for being with us this last decade, and thank you for making Relic Castle as awesome and life-changing as it has been for some of us. Sincerely, Marin (Owner) & Andy (Manager) SECOND PIC TRANSCRIPTION FAQ: (will update as we can/want to) 1- The website was backed up and sent to me (Cat) right before it was taken down, so nothing is truly lost. 2- TCPI should not be contacted as it was a third party who is authorized by TCPI to supply DMCAs and looks legitimate to us. 3- The DMCA was on the entire site for using "unauthorized copies of copyrighted material", so different from one game being taken down. 4- What will RC staff do next? Is there a new site or will the Discord be expanded? We don't know right now. 5- Put love into the world today
