Characters featured from left to right include a centaur with long black hair and a bow over their right shoulder, a dark skinned human with black hair, orange sleeveless top, blue trousers and a red backpack, a small gnome with a brown beard and a short sword in his left hand riding a mouse, and a woman with reddish, brown hair, green cloak and an orange dress, holding a scepter in her right hand and a crown in her left, with black tentacles emerging from under her dress.

Today I'm going to be working on Everworld, the Outdoor Adventure RPG. Specifically, I'll be improving the Specialism tasks for the Tracker, Herbalist and Pathfinder Specialisms. What are you working on today? Feel free to join and share your accomplishments in chat!

While playing 5e, can you never find a spell worth casting that doesn't eat at that concentration you're already holding? In #6thDawn I've modified spellcasting where concentration is usually optional, but you might not want to give it up. #TTRPGRising #TTRPG #DnD www.patreon.com/posts/6th-da...

Optional Concentration

Some spells have an active component beyond yourself that you must control, but otherwise work without your intervention. If you choose to concentrate on these spells, they work just as concentration spells above. However, you can choose to not concentrate on them, this keeps the spell going with no control over it whatsoever.

This week I'm working on the Quickstart guide for my #ttrpg Undead Paradise, a game about zombies who have regained their sentience and are now navigating a mutated world long after humanity has fallen. Below is the Undead Class: Bright-Eyes. An undead that retained its intelligence.

Able to understand humanity and the mutation, these smart undead were instrumental in humanity’s extinction. When the bombings began, they knew to find safety below ground. When remnants of humanity hunkered into shelters, it was these zombies that were able to sabotage the defenses. These undead were identified by their signature bright yellow eyes. For that reason, they were given the classification: Bright Eyes.
