Inspiration Point
What's the point?! Join Adam and Tiana for some friendly, off-the-cuff discussion about their ideas on D&D, RPGs, or just games in general!
Episodes
This week, Adam and Tiana go through the notes left in the Heroic Classes section of the IP Master Document (link to the doc below). We discuss what we agree with, reword a couple things to make them clearer, and dive deep into our disagreements (whether that's a disagreement with the note or with each other). Join the conversation!

This week, Adam and Tiana talk about Adam's DMing style, affectionately known as "Way of the FromSoft". What does that mean to him? How does it differ from his previous styles?

This week, Adam turns to Tiana to get a read on how she feels about his GMing after sitting at his table for years. He wants it all! The good, the bad, the "WTF, man?"

This week, Adam and Tiana work through Adam's Blue Dragon build. We discuss the design ethos we have in mind for enemies, how it plays out with the Blue Dragon, and where we go from here.

This week, Adam and Tiana talk about control spells and how to make them work without players losing agency. But what does that mean, specifically?

This week, Adam and Tiana talk about equipment in IP D&D, and the shops where player characters can obtain this equipment. We also introduce the idea of "comfort" to the game, with various effects (both positive and negative).

This week, Adam and Tiana talk about the game Adam ran as a playtest for the IP D&D system. We're excited about how it went, and how the input from the players offered suggestions for changes!

This week, Adam and Tiana take a look at conditions and damage types; we want the damage types to feel like they have individual identities, which means they need to do different things!

This week, Adam and Tiana follow up on the idea of a level 0 character with backgrounds and ancestry, allowing players to get the basics of what a character is and can do before diving into base classes and beyond.

This week, Adam and Tiana talk about the difficulties of teaching and learning a new system, and how we're using those difficulties to build a smarter system while still keeping it as distinctly Dungeons and Dragons.

This week, Adam and Tiana do a deep dive into Paladin as rewritten for Inspiration Point D&D. This class means a lot to both of us, so we dove deeper into the fantasy of the Paladin than will be common in other Heroic Classes.

This week, Adam and Tiana dive into the builds for Assassin and Champion. These were two subclasses in D&D 5e, but we're fleshing them out into their own Heroic Classes!

This week, Adam and Tiana begin discussing the Heroic Classes, which are the classes that player characters will choose at level 3. This is where the tree begins to truly branch, and thus there's a lot of decisions baked into the design process. Let's talk about it!

This week, Adam and Tiana dive into the write-up Adam did for two of the four base classes: Fighter and Mage. The ideas held here are super loose, and we want to hear other people's opinions too!
