Unearthed Arcana Review: The Ranger, Revised | Loot The Body

https://lootthebody.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/unearthed-arcana-review-the-ranger-revised

Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and, well…. Unearthed Arcana Review: The Ranger, Revised. September 17, 2016. September 16, 2016. Yeah, it’s a new blog post after 3 months of silence. Deal with it. Did they succeed in that? I don’t know. Only time, playtesting, and surveys will tell if it satisfied the majority of people. I can’t answer for them. I can only answer for myself. So, did the new ranger satisfy me? Why can’t I just be happy with what I’m given? Read the ranger for yourself HERE. Is pretty awesome ...

Deconstructing the Witch Hunter | Loot The Body

https://lootthebody.wordpress.com/2015/11/13/deconstructing-the-witch-hunter/comment-page-1

Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and, well…. Deconstructing the Witch Hunter. November 13, 2015. November 13, 2015. This is one that I wanted to write last month, but got distracted by writing 7,000 words on. Oh, and let’s not forget I was busy designing a Full Class. And writing a Free Adventure. What is said context? First, though, let’s talk about the movie. Because the movie does deserve to be talked about. And it doesn’t exactly have a traveling adventuring party. The Witch Hunter Class. It’s awesome, and...

Monstrous Monday: Armored Arachnid, Gohma | Loot The Body

https://lootthebody.wordpress.com/2016/05/16/monstrous-monday-gohma

Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and, well…. Monstrous Monday: Armored Arachnid, Gohma. May 16, 2016. May 13, 2016. I promised a boss monster last week, and I plan to deliver! That’s why I’m giving you guys the mother of arachnids, Gohma! That’s right, this little lady right here. But I’ve blathered on enough about the design of this monster (which was, by the way, a LOT of fun to build). Here she is: Gohma! And, of course, here’s her larvae. And finally, here’s the PDF with both of them: Gohma and Larvae.

Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and, well…. Owlboy, Maturity, and Failure. November 5, 2016. November 5, 2016. WARNING: VERY MINOR SPOILERS FOR OWLBOY. This article’s going to be a little different than my normal fair. Hope you still enjoy. Recently, I purchased a new video game: Owlboy. And the way Owlboy handles these themes got me thinking, as most things in this vein do, about D&D. How do we handle these sorts of dark topics and themes in D&D. How do we handle death or violence?

Messing With Monster Design: Variable Features | Loot The Body

https://lootthebody.wordpress.com/2016/06/10/832

Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and, well…. Messing With Monster Design: Variable Features. June 10, 2016. June 10, 2016. I’ve been playing a lot of the Cypher System, lately. Specifically, I was running a Star Wars game using Cypher. It’s a surprisingly-versatile system that can cover basically any and all thematic bases when running a game. To be sure, it won’t replace D&D, Call of Cthulhu, or World of Darkness, but it’s most definitely flexible enough to play games using any of those settings. Let me give ...

Unearthed Arcana Review: Encounter Building | Loot The Body

https://lootthebody.wordpress.com/2016/10/12/unearthed-arcana-review-encounter-building

Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and, well…. Unearthed Arcana Review: Encounter Building. October 12, 2016. October 12, 2016. The newest Unearthed Arcana is actually for Dungeon Masters! And it’s a fix for one of the fiddliest systems in the game: encounter building! Sound the alarms, or the dubstep or something! This never happens, I’m not sure how to react! Where’s my party horn? I need a hat. And confetti. And another hat! This is a momentous occasion, and must be celebrated as such! The basics of this step...
