Well, this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?263949-PEACH-Exchange) thread seems to have fallen over, but I think a PEACH exchange is a good idea, so I'm reviving it.
What is a PEACH?
It's a sweet, soft fruit PEACH stands for "Please Examine and Critique Honestly". It's a nice thing to do for people drafting homebrew! In this thread you can request a PEACH, or look at homebrew that needs work and help out. If you post here, you should try to PEACH at least one other listed work, otherwise nobody gets any peaches and we're all sad.
But unbe, my friend, I don't understand fruit cultivation game design principles well enough to provide good peaches!
Well, if you're here, you understood things well enough to see a need for something in your game and to try to fill that need. Good job! Just do your best; read the designer's goals and try to help them accomplish those goals. Check for balance problems they may have missed. Imagine you're a player and you've been given this option as well as whatever it replaces and what it's supposed to go alongside. Is it better than everything else you can choose? Does it fit better alongside those things than what it's replacing? Why? This is the stuff that PEACHes are made from.
What shouldn't I do?
Throw rotten fruit Throw rotten fruit. If someone's design goals don't align with yours, that's not a bad thing. Fighting over goals isn't something that needs to be done for a concrete piece of homebrew. All you ought to worry about for something in this thread is whether the designer has managed to implement their stated goals, and how they can better achieve that. (though you should feel free to start a thread about design goals on this subforum, those are interesting!)
Do you have an ulterior motive for starting this thread?
Why yes, yes I do. I just posted this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?429067-The-Druid-revised-(WIP-PEACH)) big druid fix, and I'm interested in getting some feedback for it, as well as some ideas for missing abilities. I'm still working on two of the subclasses, and help with those would also be appreciated.
