We went from ways to manage time traveling that involved many deus ex machinas from the GM’s part, some others in which a huge amount of planning is needed before you start playing. The one we are going to talk about today is its own beast, in some ways very different from the rest. Let’s […]

This time-traveling method shares many similarities with the Do-Over: The Reset, but differentiates itself in one very important way that we are going to talk about. Fasten your seatbelt and stay focused, because things get messy here, even though it can be a particularly easy time-traveling method to replicate […]

These two are The Loop and The Reset, which despite sharing many similarities they provide widely different results both in how they work and the stories they create. You can find a general description of how Do Over time-traveling stories work like and can be achieved, as well as an emphasis on Looping stories by clicking […]

Today we will be covering how to handle the Do-Over method of time traveling. In order to do that, we will need to firstly analyze how it is it works.

Monsters appear, and there is only one way through: killing them. It is often done to burn some character abilities or spell slots before a big confrontation. Maybe it’s just a random encounter that details a group of bandits. That’s pretty open for the DM and players to interpret the situation the way they like.

Tribality received a free review copy, which to my delight landed in my inbox. As the title signals, this is a PDF of time-magic-related content: subclasses, spells, and we’ll see what else.

People are looking to start fresh, kick old habits, and carve out a new story for themselves in the new year. However, the focus of the event is usually finding a good party to drink in the new year, and ensuring you have someone to intimately face-battle at the stroke of midnight.
