I actually have 20 of them already in a spreadsheet. I need to go through the MM and decide which stuff from 5e I wanna carry over.
Roosevelt Cooper
Looks great so far! Made a character already! As soon as we get some monsters I'm ready to rock and roll with this thing!
DM Dave
Yeah, it's cool. Growth slows down the better you get. Also stolen from MorkBorg
DM Dave
That's a gimmick from MorkBorg that I love. In the horror game I was working on, I was hoping to make it so everyone pooled together.
DM Dave
Oh yeah, it's rough AF. I haven't sent it to proofers yet, so I'm relying on Grammarly. If you see any, lemme know on Discord
Spencer Vance
I love the Improvement part of it

This is a work of art but I have to tell you there are some spelling errors in it. I cant wait to get the rest to play. I love the idea of rolling for weapons, armor and even scrolls for spells and more. I am 100% onboard with this new stylr.
I'm loving the read and love the Omen idea. I can't wait to play this.

Totally want to run this, looks wicked as hell.
DM Dave
The world is no picnic either 😂
Love the old school gritty feel to this. The heroes feel special, but very mortal in a dangerous world.
So excited for this. Looks like it's going to be a hit.

The bad habits are pretty harsh. I could see them taking up some time.
This is MONEY. Nicely done.
