Dungeons and Dragons players: I don't really know how this website works, but if you see this send me your opinion on feats, or Vancian magic, or ... something.

@DMWolffy

I'll be your first follow! Welcome to this place!

I think feats are underutilized but I am also very guilty of never just giving them away so players understand they're cool and something to want.

I'm aiming to just throw magic items with feats on em out there.

@Imperor Aww, thanks. 💚
Feats as magic items seems like a good really way to do that.

I kinda did it last game I ran. My gf wanted a wand to help with her Eldritch Blast. Though Idk about item-making in PF2e, and I know in 5e it's virtually non-existent. But in PF1e, they were straightforward with the gp value of imbuing an item with a feat power.

@DMWolffy

Honestly, you just untied a huge knot I had in my head for a looooong time.

I didn't even make the connection between crafting and magic items. But crafting has been such a topic to my players.

Allowing them to create items that have a feat is such a fantastic solution.

Make it a little quest to acquire the ressources, give it a bit of a rarity scale by modifying how good or bad elements of it turn out based on their rolls while making it...

Love it!

@Imperor Me too, but the knot in my head was why I haven't been able to make connections like this anymore on the other apps I've been using. I think it's the sites' problem, lol.

Anyway, I'm glad I could help share a perspective.

@DMWolffy

Honestly, I'm horrible at using social media for the most part. I never seem to say the things people find interesting so engagement on my stuff is low as heck.

But compared to the big ones, mastodon has been really nice. Actually had some valuable conversations like this one already. Never once had this on the bigger platforms.

@Imperor Maybe we're the weird ones?

Idk, I've really only used twitter and reddit. The one has a habit of trying to show me news and crap ... and cats. (Oh, the cats!) The other ... Idk if it's 'cause I have less time to spend on the site, or if people are genuinely just talking about more and more 5e-specific stuff that can't be helped or explained by looking at older D&D eds. But I don't feel like I can add much to the conversation there anymore. Maybe it's me 🤷.

But you've given me hope 🐘💚

@DMWolffy Might just be, yeah.

I don't know about the activity around the older versions, but I've seen them pop up from time to time on the #ttrpg hashtag. I bet you'll find some people to talk to about all that.

And if not, DM-talk and that transcends systems anyway 💛
