Aye, t'was me. Thanks! And, I feel like a lot of the behavior is very stilted. It's not even very medieval, it feels like an anachronism reconstruction of Chivalry. It does say right there, the code is fit for a feudal campaignand the DM should feel fit to adjust though, I've somehow missed that lin...

No idea where this actually goes... Houserules seemed appropriate. After a good fight turned ugly, a job lost to injury, a pregnancy, a birth, some severe schedule shifts and chronic illness (not all of them my own, but most!), I finally found time to do something fun, and that's play a game of olde...

Wow, that's really cool.

Could you reverse the scale for attacks? It wouldn't be as elegant, but with a kid now I need to ramp up my plans for a D&D that fits perfectly within an Altoids tin. LBB D&D using primarily d6 covers it!

Definitely using this ASAP.

Evil parties can and do exist. Party bonds form out of love, list, friendship (love again?), duty, familiarity, insecurity, and jealousy. They aren't always about finding a wizard to complement the rest of the group, it's usually about finding a wizard you can stand to complement the group. Chaotic ...

Kinda depends! On the players in question, I mean. My first game ever, was a complete sandbox. No plot for the first, like, ten levels at all. I was a nomadic horse lord, and spent my time discovering new lands, learning the basics of politics, and bringing order (morality, really) to the continent ...

That's a treasure trove barsh. Since I returned to gaming from a long long absence, I've taken a selective approach to new dice. These steel dice are my current favorite in the family: thorn dice.JPG Some other new members of the family, along with the great grampa blues and grandma golds. I tend t...

Man. Life is mean, getting all bothersome at the weirdest times... O_O I did some reading, and some mulling, as I am wont, aQuebman. I came to two conclusions. The first is that it's a fun game, very reminiscent of what I have tried to hack other games into. The second is, that it is not in line wit...

It's the sharp edging, right? Rounded corners lead to patterns of wear which spontaneously arrive based on initial tossing. Or something. I actually like my dice to be less perfect, it adds character. I have a set I use solely for stat generation, because they are so swingy; eight identical dice, fo...

That certainly is a lot to take in. I like it! Some things I notice immediately, though; Corruption is spell-dependent which is perfect, but high-overhead. The magic system doesn't deal with corruption, it just says corruption exists. It's later, individual components each get a corruption blurb, ye...

Sounds cool. I'm sure Alethan will make fun of me for this but for some ideas the DCC magic system is rather unique, I have the rules in the character creation thread of my game if your interested. I forgot those were a resource :oops: Dungeon Crawl Classics, is that one of the free ones? If so I s...

Alright, I suppose I should put actual work into this, at some point. So, here goes! The reason behind limiting the number of spells that a Magic User could take down into the Dungeon was simply that many of the ingredients had to be prepared ahead of time, and of course, once used were then powerle...

Perhaps we should define exactly what the "Vancian" magic system is before continuing. It is far more than simple "memorize + fire & forget" magic most people seem to assume it is. And BtB "Vancian" magic systems vary quite a bit between editions whether it be betw...

I came across a thing, which got me thinking.... Arneson's ideas for Magic in the game How would this actually work? Just right out the gate, is taking magic anywhere other than the vancian roots we are all familiar with an endeavor worthy of time and effort at all? What do others who may (haha, lis...

Ahhh... found it. http://www.unseenservant.us/forum/viewtopic.php?p=23970#p23970 Unlimited 2-for-1 trading of attributes seems... I don't know... not right. If I do any trading in chargen, I'll stick to the B/E guidelines for doing so. I remember something like this, in either 1 or 2e, but not sure...

Ah, nerts. I don't have a non-expletive single word to define this! Alas. (oh, wait, maybe alas would have worked?) Aye, if you ever do have the time and inclination for revival, I will be here. Or, hereabouts, at any rate~! I do hope things get better for you. Business at work is one thing, but you...

Some ideas just feel more real with a concrete, mechanical backing. 3.5 and such give you that. That is highly debatable. I think the idea that this is a binary issue is a false one. It is entirely possible to avoid the debate by admitting that sometimes, having the system work for you is fun, and ...

Kaa who devours, Shaman Tossing the fire almost casually at the rat horde, I hope not too casually as my dying henchmen is still somewhere under the rats... :lol: How to tell if you are a PC #1: your action for the round is more important than the lives and physical well-being of bystanders. :mrgre...

Oh dang, I need to scan this site more; I would have been all for that! Some ideas just feel more real with a concrete, mechanical backing. 3.5 and such give you that. There is an elegance to a system that expects you to be intelligent and creative that is lost in a system which is computer-program ...

Kaa who devours, Shaman "Damn it! Kūndala, Agrasati !" With luck and skill, the spirit-snake's coils may hold the wretched corpse still enough to spear her heart and end this mockery of life. Tossing the fire almost casually at the rat horde, Kaa begins to fishing out her mallet, to accom...

So correct me if I am wrong, but to stake una someone has to hold her down, and another must brave the bats and hammer a stake into her chest with a mallet, yes? Then we decapiate the body and bury it face down at a crossroads (or just, like, unstable her at noon somewhere with no cover). So uh, who...
