On this episode of the RPJEEZ Podcast, we are having a discussion about when it feels right to adapt 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons with homebrew to fit the game you're trying to play, and when it would be more appropriate to just use another system instead.This idea was sparked by a home game I play in which is set in the universe of the anime Bleach. It got me thinking about whether it's always worth using 5th Edition to achieve other fantasies in TTRPGs or if buckling in an learning new systems might be better.Bleach 5e by Luis Hernandez https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LkO8VBLAIck6JlLwS_7#p152Do you have some homebrew you'd like to have discussed on the show?

On this episode of the RPJEEZ Podcast we start off our Homebrew discussions with the most well known piece of homebrew ever: Matthew Mercer's Blood Hunter Class. This podcast aims to spotlight smaller homebrew creators, but we need a starting point, a reference point with which to compare future homebrew content we discuss going forward, and what better reference point than the homebrew class most tables tables have come to consider "official".The Blood Hunter is a martial class for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition where the character sees themselves performing a dark ritual to grant themselves powers, risking becoming the monsters they have chosen to hunt.https://www.dmsguild.com/product/301641/Blood-Hunter-Class-for-DD-5e-2020If you have any homebrew you'd love to have discussed on the podcast, be sure to send it through to [email protected]
