Saving Throes # 90 - Ritual of Scrying: Runehammer's D&D 5.5 Rules Mods

Red Rooster's Gaming Coop

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
This week I am taking a look at the rules modifications for the revised 2024/2025 version of 5e, from one of my favourite TTRPG creators and creator of Runehammer Games, Hankerin Ferinale (check out his website and shop at www.runehammer.online). He just posted a bunch of excellent tweaks you can apply to your game to spice things up considerably. These address some of my issues with the revised 5e rules, and suggest some brilliant workarounds. Some of these things made me do a double take, so when you read his article or listen to this episode, make sure to take a moment to truly consider what is being suggested. I think overall these mods create some really new and interesting play dynamics! With that said, I'm not on board with everything presented here. Tune in to hear which mods I will likely be taking and applying at my table!
