I've run Star Wars and Vampire: Dark Ages and Conspiracy X campaigns with upwards of a dozen players. Go round the room deosil or widdershins (to taste) and ask what people are doing. Give them a five count (in your head, i'm assuming you don't need to move your lips or use your fingers). If the...
I mean yeah definition policing is obviously an important part of any unfolding RPG discussion, and what we do (nothing written down, no rules consultations, but we use a randomiser) is basically an anomaly bordering on war crimes, and it's also cool that the Star Wars general guy has an...
And it also flips, so if the dice say the downtrodden PC mongrelfolk armed with pine branches and a broken bedpost get a 20 and Lord Paladin NPC rolled a 1, well, tales will be told! I like how freeform play with a d20 (i know 2d6 are more traditional) can really lean into that die's swinginess...
I mean it depends on the sort of wood, the time of day or night, ambient air temperature and suchlike, but the dice say what the dice say when you dispense with all the crufty stuff like "rules" and "words" and "writing shit down".
This FKR (which we refer to as the "Fucker" style) thing is the way I run my AD&D. There are 6000+ extant pages of rules, so let's not bother with the details and just roll d20s and see what turns up. That way the PCs can still be demi-gods in full +5 Archplate of Nigh Invulnerability but every...
I did indeed, I got confused with the last part of goatboy's surname. I did indeed mean House Murkin, Purveyors of the Finest Pubic Wigs in Dolmenwooddom!
@Fenris-77 I'm happy to go House Hogwarsh if that's easier, as that was my second choice.
Yeah man I thought you might do be like that though, that's why I went with the guys i went with. Is is just straight B/X saves? Can i use my OSE book to fill that in?
@Fenris-77 Okay man I will fill in a spreadsheet for your game but only because of fraternal love. Fuggin spreadsheets.
Is there anything the party needs to fill out a role? I wanted to play a goat knight but that was 5 pages ago and besides, the wench is dead. I'll play anything if it helps...
In my sci-fi game the Way is the most common term used for the notForce, so I could see a Mysterious Warrant of Way being a license from Star Force (notStarfleet) that allows its bearer to do Way stuff in civilised sectors without fear of repercussion.
The argument was that beyond the core rules and setting for a game, such as that found within a core rulebook and setting guide, the acquisition of anything after that should be optional and not mandatory. But do please continue with your snarky bad faith readings of those who do not agree with...
What's great about metaplot is that a) it forces the unwashed to buy many books beyond the core and not do anything scientifically dangerous or silly like make it all up for themselves and b) it lets GMs tell players what they can and can't do in case it messes up the all important metaplot...
Never put shoes on a table.
Do not sleep with your feet pointing towards a door.
We call putting change in a wallet before giving it as a gift "hanselling" and neglecting to do so creates bad luck.
Don't split a pole (if you're walking hand in hand or arm in arm with someone, always remain in...
WELL OKAY BUT THERE ARE OTHER PARTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM WHERE THIS ALSO APPLIES BUT THEY MEET UP ONCE A YEAR TO KICK THE SHITE OUT OF EACH OTHER WHILE BOOTING A BIG WHEEL OF CHEESE ABOUT A MOOR OR WHATEVER ALL SYMBOLIC, LIKE, INSTEAD OF EMBODYING THE PURE UNSYMBOLIC HATRED THAT ONLY...
