As part of D&D’s 40th birthday this year and my ongoing doodling with rules, options and trying to help other DMs I know, Jeremy and I have started a new site called The Austinverse. Also a fitting 3500th post!
So what exactly is it?
Right now Austinverse is in its formative stage so obviously it’s a work in progress. To get the ball rolling, I posted my an alternate rule I’ve been kicking around for a few years. We’ve both broken down our campaigns: Jeremy’s D&D, Jeremy’s d20 Modern, my D&D/PF and another person’s upcoming Star Wars.
I also want to have ready-made NPCs present. As an experience DM, you can never have too many on hand. Sure the big publishers make volumes of these yet I always have to tweak them because they’re too powerful, have lame-ass names (really, you guys can’t look up all the real names people have had for centuries?) or too generic to function, even on the fly.
The site won’t be much use for most players, it’s meant to be an additional tool for DMs…I mean GMs thanks to DM being copyrighted to Hasbro.
If you’re running a game and would like an account so you can contribute, let me know.
