This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Expanded Magical Techniques for L&D
« on: August 19, 2019, 03:14:23 AM »
So I wanted to make a specific product that's basically for Lion & Dragon.

Most of my RPGPundit Presents series is usable with any OSR system, though, so I wanted to make that clear. And the way I made sure no one would miss the difference is that (after asking Brett Bernstein, my publisher) RPGPundit Presents #88: Expanded Magical Techniques List is the first ever RPGpundit Presents issue to be Pay What You Want.




So the main gist of this issue is pretty simple: If you are familiar with L&D rules, you'd know that unlike most OSR games, when you go up in level you roll on a random table to determine what your level benefits are. For magisters and cymri, the two arcane spellcasting classes, one option is to get a random magical technique.  In the L&D main book, there's a common list for both of the magical techniques available.

But since then, there's been a LOT of RPGPundit Presents products that have provided brand new magical techniques, grimoires, and other mechanics usable for spellcasters in a Medieval-Authentic setting.  So it makes more sense now to have separate tables between the Magister and the Cymri class to determine what magic they each learn, what with one being college-educated know-it-alls and the other being folk-magician jacks of all trades.

Along with this, you get a complete description of ALL the magical techniques (to date) for L&D, and in which product you can find them.

So that's it. Check it out. Pay what you like.

You can pick up RPGPundit Presents #88: Expanded Magical Technique Lists on DTRPG, or at the Precis Intermedia Webstore.
LION & DRAGON: Medieval-Authentic OSR Roleplaying is available now! You only THINK you've played 'medieval fantasy' until you play L&D.

That's a cool idea.  You are adding value to L&D, overall.
I need you to roll a perception check.....

Well, without a doubt Lion & Dragon is the most supported RPG I've ever written.
