    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    Not a Q&A exactly but did a podcast on running the game without using XP to advance.

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    I think that would work pretty well. They are both based on d10 tables, so it fits pretty seamlessly. Basically you replace one of the lines on the fire deviation tables so it says "Possessed by Qi Spirit. Roll on Qi Spirit Table" Going forward I may actually use the fire deviation tables in...

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    The main thing Reputation helped me do, at least as a GM, is decide if an NPC, sect, or official should trust a characters words, fear them, etc. It was good at tipping the scales on that front. But I think over time, you just have a more intuitive handle on how the martial world perceives the Party

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    I meant the Combat Techniques, rather than the Kung Fu techniques (things like Outside Fighter or Fists of Steel). The Kung Fu Techniques are often meant to capture those archetypes when put together (and a few individually capture a concept) but they haven't been clearly assembled into...

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    That is a good point. It makes me wonder if we should have committed all of them to fulfilling those kinds of character concepts

    Jim Ward passed.

    That is very sad news. I remember the Greyhawk Adventures hard cover and Pools of Radiance. I loved the Legend and Lore book from 2E. I liked his writing advice on facebook. Just very humble and helpful recommendations for basic things to improve your game writing and writing in general (seemed...

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    Thanks. Yeah, my volume tends to be a little low on the recording side for some reason (I think it is more pronounced on my individual podcasts than the group podcasts----I do record in different software for each one so that might be part of it). I will fiddle more with the volume and see if I...

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    Here is the episode on which game, Righteous Blood Ruthless Blades or Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate is Right for you. I should post another episode shortly after putting up our discussion of Swordsman II

    Mod+ How does religion make sense in a D&D-like setting?

    But extrapolation of real world religious beliefs and beliefs in the supernatural to a fantasy setting is a creative thought experiment. We don't have a lab where we can test out what is going to actually be the case. And what people are willing to accept here is going to depend a lot on their...

    Mod+ How does religion make sense in a D&D-like setting?

    Again though, this gets into matter of religious belief. Not everyone is going to believe it, but there certainly are people who would assert people have been raised from the dead or that they have seen someone do something approaching calling down a pillar of fire. My point isn't that there are...

    Mod+ How does religion make sense in a D&D-like setting?

    It is also worth stating that religious experiences are still a thing, even in today's world. There are people today who will sharply disagree on whether or not they have seen or felt supernatural events. And there are entire cultures that profoundly believe in the supernatural, ghosts, a god or...

    Mod+ How does religion make sense in a D&D-like setting?

    But all this only makes religion make more sense. If the Gods are real and evident, then surely you must follow the teachings of churches and priests dedicated to them? The only thing that makes less sense in a world like this is not being religious On the argument about past belief. My point...

    Are many fantasy gamers irrational about guns in settings?

    I don't know if it applies to this current case, but I think a lot of gamers have a very clear line in their head where guns somehow mark a time that things are no longer sufficiently medieval (even though most medieval fantasy seems to be bordering on post Renaissance). I remember guns being a...

    Mod+ How does religion make sense in a D&D-like setting?

    I would think visible signs of the gods being real would mean religions make more sense in D&D. But I also agree with Paws that for all intents and purposes, people living in prior periods where religion was how you saw the world, to them the presence of God or the gods was evident. So you can...

    Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate Questions

    I will also try to answer this in a podcast but here are my thoughts: RBRB is pure wuxia. If you want something that feels like 70s style Shaw Brothers or 90s wuxia, it captures that well and is a bit more streamlined than ogre gate. The only thing to keep in mind with it leans heavily into...
