Hey, everyone!
I've been working on Pulp Arcana, a Pay-What-You-Will/Free-To-Play edition of dnd based on the 5e SRD, and I'd love any eyes on it (or if you're just into checking it out, also great!).
This keeps what I love about the game while giving a refresh to what I and my tables have found frustrating. You'll find martials with turn-to-turn options, spellcasters with strong themes to their powers, and robust equipment support.
So far, we have 8 classes. The core four— cleric, rogue, warrior, and wizard —are joined by classic supplemental classes paladin and ranger here, as well as two Pulp Arcana originals, The Antiquarian and the Arsenal.
There are also thematic previews of all but two of the remaining planned classes.
Features Include:
- A magic system built around theme; a fire mage should know all fire spells, rather than just a few of the best ones
- At-will maneuvers
- No Turn Wasted conditions and dying rules
- DM controlled resting to allow for month-long sieges per long rest, etc.
- A new form of codified encounter, called the venture encounter, which can be used for situations where combat would be tedious, such as chases, escapes, mass combats, and vehicle battles.
- A feat-based alternative to multiclassing for safer balance
And I'm updating all the time!!
