    Fudging in RPGs

    Sounds like a shittier version of Lighthouse. But I enjoyed the personalities of the strippers. Gaming-wise, I never fudge. Except when I do. The times it has happened, it was heat of the moment and never premeditated. Very rare.

    Glen Cook's Black Company Licensed by Arc Dream

    It's not very good. Amnesia is actually a plot device. Thematically speaking, you'd be better off forgetting all about it.

    Hints on running a game for an 11 year old?

    "Here's a dungeon full of monsters and treasure. " Have him roll up and run a couple of characters. Add a few friendly NPCs to the party (like the old soldier with lots of good advice, and the funny cleric (or thief) to keep things light and to get the RP rolling). And have fun. He'll be...

    Divine Right Kickstarting

    BUT! I checked the link and the production values seem very nice, including a return to original map colours (or close to it). Yet I suspect the 300 page pdf bonus rules are under-playtested chaff.

    Divine Right Kickstarting

    Played the hell out of first edition, disliked the 25th anniversary edition, which had changes for the sake of changes, sloppy editing, dumb map, inferior chits and advanced game rules only on cd and not paper. The fleets on rivers rules were pita. A cynical rush job. I wish them well.

    Favorite Aliens from Science Fiction but not from TTRPGs

    Triffids! Aggressive plants, mysterious origin, maybe created by the Soviets.

    It's not paranoia if you're roleplaying.

    movement was in ten foot increments, and the ten foot pole was the only pole on the equipment sheet. no love for the 6-8 foot spear.

    (OSE) Critique my homebrew outlaw class?

    Han Solo has CHA up the noodle.

    (OSE) Critique my homebrew outlaw class?

    I still think it's CHA. :)

    (OSE) Critique my homebrew outlaw class?

    Can I also say that I'm happy you did not give this a class a "Turn Undead" ability? FYI: Dragon has an NPC Bandit class is issue #63. They allow chain, tracking and also .... cover tracks. Worth a look.

    (OSE) Critique my homebrew outlaw class?

    Hey in a game with no ranger or thief, this class would probably work very well. In this context, you really don't need to have stringent stat minimums, as it's a base class, for this game. For some flexibility, let the outlaw wear chain, but then he loses his deadly sneak attack while doing...

    (OSE) Critique my homebrew outlaw class?

    Why the special diplomacy bonus? The old school Ranger was a monster killer, and the old school thief just wanted your stuff. Wouldn't that just be covered by CHA score? I am uncomfortable with the liberal allowance for heavy (chain) armour, as well as no minimum ability scores? Doesn't seem...

    Are you an Escapist or Explorer?

    Escapism, by a long shot, I guess. I don't want to explore many hot button political and social issues that would get me banned from this forum. Just for example. Fuck exploring. I'd be better off being politically active than have play time with my anger and despair. It's just not the...

    OSR: what is it even

    I'll agree. We are seeing a progression to that sort of game. I also think that be publishing a lot of tourney modules, TSR primed a big part of the market for it.

    Notes from Bill Hoyt, one of the early D&D players

    It's neat he "buried" spells across the world for PC's to find. I also like how he has "communists". Fun notes.

    OSR: what is it even

    Dragonlance is 1984, Slavers is 1980. If Slavers is not intended for campaign use, then Dragonlance should not be intended as a campaign either. We do know both were intended for continued, serial, play with recurring characters Which sounds suspiciously like a campaign. They are just not...

    OSR: what is it even

    I doubt the intention was that clear. Anyway, the Slaver series was later repackaged to be the bridge between T1-4 and GDQ! So it was part of a complete campaign.

    OSR: what is it even

    Slavers A1-4. You get automatically captured to start A4.

    What are y'all up to these days?

    OK, so in my ongoing Rolemaster game my character's party had a near TPK and the survivors were captured and imprisoned by some nothighlanders, losing all out gear and money. After a few months of jail, circumstances allowed us to bust our way out. In the process of getting-the-gang-back-...
