I did it !

I did it !
Almost...
The half actually...

Since three or four months, I'm working on a personnal project, a kind of challenge : I'm trying to write a "book" with 101 magic items for Macchiato Monsters.
I write the rules to play with and some short stories... for fun !
It's the occasion to create magic items (of course) but some funny tables (like create your ancestors...), a new classes of magic, a dwarven pantheon, some legends, songs, funny stories and a lot of NPC...

And, 10 minutes ago, I just pass throw the half : I wrote 51 !

The work is not finish at all but I'm happy !

Has anyone played with a party of characters with mismatched levels - like maybe one or two first level characters...

Has anyone played with a party of characters with mismatched levels - like maybe one or two first level characters and others as high as fourth or fifth? Is it un-fun for the players of the low level characters?

Hmm.

Hmm. Thinking about the magic. Over time and character advancement does every character tend to evolve into a user of magic?

Ventis of the Earth.

Ventis of the Earth.

Has anyone used Veins of the Earth with Macchiato Monsters?

Goon Masters in MM

Goon Masters in MM

Here's how to make a horde-summoner character. Take a trait such as Goblin Enchantress or Zombie Master or Baker of Sentient and Homicidal Cupcakes.

This doesn't give you advantage to checks, nor does it grant you outside help like an organisation. All you have is your band of fanatical goblins, crazed cultists, animal automata, etc.

Write down Goons dR8 on you character sheet. They work as a group just like a follower (roll the dR whenever they attempt something risky). A step down means some of your goons died in a stupid way. If the dR is stepped down to nothing, you have to attracts more goons. Wait d8 days and you'll have your dR8 back - the referee can give you a smaller die in less time if they so choose.

Whenever you roll the maximum result on the dR, step it up. Either your goons get smarter/stronger/better at working together, or more of them just show up.

(Also thanks to Samuel Guillon for managing to convince a tribe of goblins his character should be their new god. I wouldn't have thought of the mechanic otherwise.)
