Yeah if you had a structure entirely built out of cold iron there would be pretty much no magic allowed inside. That said, imagine trying to build an entire fortress out of even regular iron with medieval technology. This has all the same logistical problems but worse lol.
It's Day 9 and I'm deleting action economy shenanigans from monks. I know starting characters are gonna be pretty crazy in this game but I don't want them to be broken entirely =)
Transitioning to a new blog hosting platform means I had to transfer all my posts, and could tidy up some stuff in the process. Here are all the new links so far:
Day 2 - Multitool Generator (now analog and improved)
Day 3 - Dungeon Mushrooms and mushroom spark tables
Day 4 - Starscrapers, pale transhumanist cyberfreaks for sci-fantasy games (now with extra, optional tables for Starscraper slave retinues)
NEW Day 5 - Six performance-enchancing drugs, drug spark tables and simple drug rules
NEW Day 6 - "The Library is Burning!", a diegetic minigame for taking all the loot from a crumbling location and escaping with your life
NEW Day 7 - Simple and unobtrusive rules for Pain, Stress, Fear and Panic in gritty fantasy games (works well with @Dice Goblin's Wounds & Injuries for Cairn)
NEW Day 8 - Camping and Camp Actions for games inspired by Cairn or Into the Odd, with rules for equipment decay and nasty infections.
Thanks! Yeah, I've been scratching my head trying to think on ways to make this work over online play, since people generally type a lot faster than they write. But I think it could work with a few adjustments.
Day 10: half-casters with no magic in which I cut a lot of junk out of ranger and paladin. Tearing through all the classes is giving me a lot of inspiration for things I could improve in the future but I gotta keep barreling forward. no editing till I smash through the whole SRD!
Day 10: Languages. A rework of the 5e language system that's relatively setting-neutral (i.e. it works for vague medieval fantasy). Missed a few days but I should be back.
The idea of languages having special effects that aren’t just "do you understand this guy" is fantastic. I imagine players writing draconic on wooden doors to burn them down :)
