No worries 🙂

Unfortunately none of the players took it – but I am fond of giving players plot-driven multiclasses, so I might have an opportunity for it later.

No problem, and if you run into some wonky issues please let me know.

I am running a Planescape/Spelljamer/more* campaign right now so I think about and re-read that stuff a lot.

I just bought six green colored D20s so I can hand out a die for inspiration to make it physical. They’re 100% not dice I would ever use for my own so I don’t mind passing them out.

I am running two games at the moment.

For one, I had players define all their personality traits in play and came up with a mechanism to reward initial definition. I see probably 80% more inspiration hand-out/use in that game as the players seem to remember their traits much more readily.

In the other, I had it out at the beginning of each scene and try and remind people frequently. Jury is still out on that.

Either way, I think inspiration is fine to hand out basically whenever.

Thanks, I appreciate. I kind of imagine a vaguely Persian-ish setting overall for it. Cool how you picked up the vibe.

Inspiration is indeed an awkward mechanic… the personality system is very grafted on and it’s super easy to forget to hand it out. I tend to hand it out for any of those “moments”. If something’s genuinely funny, moving or challenging to the player, regardless of what’s written down on their sheet. It’s really not that good, so having some Inspiration around isn’t a major threat to the game.

And if I may add, you hit it right on the spot.

I can see this happening also in a Middle-Asia styled adventure.

Seriously, I really l like it.

Hrmm, you think? The dice could scale higher, but I didn’t want the feature to be too much. Nor did I want it to step on the toes of existing stuff.

Thanks for the kind words about the theme. I wanted to hit kid of a cosmic-Delphic kind of space.
