The Book of Lost Magicka: A Homebrew For Equality Charity Project

Lots of content, some good, some fair, some poor. The biggest issue is that too much of it is unbalanced as is often the case for 'homebrewed' content. Though there are strong pieces, much of the art is overly-cartoonish, whimsical, and poor. I'm sure it appeals to some, but it's not my style. Some of the optional rules are interesting and could spice up a table looking for a slightly grittier 5e game. Despite the obvious talent, time, and hard work put in to this project I simply cannot get behind it.

So, so many of us are completely done with having politics and activism shoved down our collective throats through games. TTRPGs are an opportunity to get together with friends and escape the drudgery of reality for a few hours. The last thing we want is for it to turn in to a lecture. The "awareness" mantra is absolutely laughable. Who, in 2022, isn't aware of the message that BLM (and similar) organizations preech?

Lastly, I refuse to support an organization that has absolutely no accountability. Each week, more and more stories are coming to light about how BLM has stolen the vast majority of the tens of millions of dollars that have been donated. Furthermore, the watch dog groups that rate non-profits give BLM a failing grade. Don't take my word for it, investigate it yourself. As of March 2022, BLM has 60 million dollars of completely unaccounted for donations.

It's your perogative if you want to support corrupt organizations, but I refuse.

This is an exceptionally creative, unique, and personal suppliment. It has honestly got me struggling to describe not only how useful it is as an addition to 5e D&D, but the importance of this book as a creative effort in support of black lives. I bought it twice, the huge amount of unique content easily makes it well worth the cost of a published D&D book. Also the cover is stunning in color! PoD would be amazing to see if you could manage to make it affordable and charitable. Black lives matter.

This is a great addition to the library! There is a mix of new ideas that I hadn't seen as well as reimagined concepts done very well. They are all very well balanced for play.

So lets get down to the bare bones basics.

This is what we need more of DND.

Most if not all the classes have an element of choice about them, a buffet table of abilities to choose from meaning you could hypothetically field a party of four and they'd be diverse and skilled enough in different areas to be worth creating an adventure for.

The races were fun, new races have never been my bag purely because I feel 5th Editions simplistic rule system severely limits just how much you can do with a race that isn't just using fluff to make it something else.

Spells and magic items were creative and nicely varied

Overall, a worthy purchase :)

An inspiring book with a large variety of mechanics and plot ideas. All of these subclasses offer more choices to the player and DM. In the age of [redacted recent book release], where customization is key and encouraged, this book is inspirational. I know I'll be using several of the items, spell, and monsters to torture my players in the coming days. A huge thanks to the organizers for all their work!

Absolutely amazing! I love all of the homebrew and can't wait to try it out. Also the art is 10/10, so good.

Oh. Oh my gosh. I bought this because I mainly wanted to support the cause, and figured homebrew's close to my heart, so why not. But even just after a quick read-through, I'm tempted to buy it again and again!! Quality of the art is perfect (above perfect!), everything's balanced as far as I can see, concepts are fascinating and I'm eager to play them... amazing. Get it, man. Just get it.
