Homebrew rules

Crits of Many Things- When rolling a D20 a roll of 1 or 20 a card is drawn from the Deck of Many Things. This card applies a minor negative or positive effect immediately. Eg- The Comet applies 1d6 extra fire damage to your target (on a 20) or causes you to take 1d6 fire damage as you catch on fire (on a 1) Bonus Action Spells - When you cast a spell of level 1 or higher with a bonus action you may only cast a spell with your action if that spell is a cantrip. Potions & Poison- Potions and Poisons require a Bonus Action to use. Spell Points - Instead of gaining a number of spell slots to cast your spells from the Spellcasting feature, you gain a pool of spell points instead. When casting you expend a number of spell points to create a spell slot of a given level, and immediately use that slot to cast a spell. You can't reduce your spell points total to less than 0, and you regain all spent spell points when you finish a long rest. (More details in the 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide) Spell Lists from Star Wars 5E (SW5E) - Arcane Casters (Artificer, Occultist, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard; Eldritch Knight, Arcane Trickster) choose from the Techcasting list. - Holy Casters (Bard, Druid, Ranger, Paladin, Occultist) choose from the Force Powers List.

How Robbie creates a safe table

"Stagecoach rule"- Legend says there was a rule on stagecoaches that no discussion of politics or religion was allowed. That way the passengers arrived unharmed by each other. "Red Flag, Yellow Flag"(XNO Variant); Breaks; Open Door (in & out of game) Some content just isn't for you. You don't owe anyone an explanation These tools help keep you from having to continue experiencing unwanted content. "Red Flag, Yellow Flag."- if you hit a "soft limit," (icky, disturbing, etc.) say "Yellow Flag. If you hit a "Hard Limit," something that is just.. not okay with you, say "Red Flag." Stuff will come to a halt. But If you don't want to tell the whole table what you're thinking of feeling you can whisper me in chat, send a Direct Message to me, or just ask to tell me something in private chat. I'll play it off. Secrets help spice things up anyway -Session Zero; Luxton Technique; Lines and Veils Session Zero is a time where expectations are set and everyone gets a feel for the game. I like to include a discussion about any potential triggers or just plain bad subjects, and cover the kinds of things you might see or want to see. You can set a hard "Line" and I'll avoid it or set a "Veil" and I'll avoid details. (Eg. People go into a bedroom together and the rest is implied, "fade to black") You can also ask me to speak privately in a second voice channel during the game. I'll say it again: Secrets can help a game. -Open Door Policy, Debrief, Aftercare, Stars and Wishes, Bleed After a session I generally check in with everyone, see what they liked, what they didn't, and what they'd like to see more of. I also try to resolve any (potential) conflicts. This normally takes a 10 minutes or less but it helps bring you back to Earth. If you instead want to send me a message about the game, especially with concerns, I generally answer Discord within 48hrs. About this game CW: Adult Language, Adult Situations, Graphic Violence, Body Horror, Slavery, Self-Harm, Bigotry (off handed Misandry/Misogyny, Fantasy Racism etc.), Vehicle Combat & Crashes, Sexual Situations, Substances, Psychological Manipulation, Torture. - This is a Thriller with historically accurate(ish) fantasy swashbuckling and Steampunk Weapons. It's tense, violent, and there's guns. Lots of guns. - The Underworld is a realm filled with beings of infinite cruelty and those that stand against them. Expect deception, gaslighting, other manipulations, and intense violence from some characters - Remember: It's a game. Let's have fun!
