I was referring to Ben from Questing Beast. Bob Worldbuilder only switched away from 5E content pretty recently, has never been prominent in the OSR scene, and it's more plausible to me that he could genuinely be unaware. Deeply disappointing if he really is shutting his eyes to it, though...

You could easily just multiply the target numbers by 3 and roll a d20 instead of a d6. The percentage chances would be a LITTLE different, but not hugely so. Quick and easy AF. 6+ (16.16%) becomes 18+ (15%) 5+ (33.33%) becomes 15+ (30%) 4+ (50%) becomes 12+ (40%) 3+ (66.66%) becomes 9+ (60%)...

Maybe, but given his immersion in the scene I can't imagine he's unaware of the issue with Goodman paying Bledsaw and lying about it.

It does seem niche, but probably has significant overlap with the Goodman Games core audience, which as the tagline from the original DCC modules indicates, was always very nostalgia-based. I'm guessing that the licensing fees are pretty trivial, in which case the "cost" side of their...

I tend to concur, but I've only seen one person express a strong opinion on it. I imagine there's some Venn diagram overlap between people who like old school pulp art with a bit of cheesecake and Bledsaw-style regressives, but I suspect there's a greater natural overlap between the former...

"retrieves by"; did you mean receives from, or something else?

This is a great book. I read it before Song of Achilles, and the latter is also great.

I agree that it's worth keeping them distinct. I'm not sure that the two genres necessarily have a lot of trope overlap, except insofar as MOST LitRPG books (with Dungeon Crawler Carl being a rare exception) and most Isekai are a sub-set of Portal Fantasy. There are certain tropes true of...

Managed to go out dancing Saturday night, though I left a bit early and slept a bunch. Had a bunch of wakeups last night, but my coughing, hacking and production from my respiratory system is less each morning. Overall my energy feels a little better. I'll see how today goes and maybe try a...

I like kobolds and goblins, have played Dwarves on occasion (especially when filling in as a rock-solid veteran in a newbie group), and can wrap my head around a hobbit on infrequent occasions. With my kobolds and goblins I may lean into some humor, some "get underestimated and prove them...

"under"played, or downplayed? Are you opining that it was definitely of greater moment than either of them would admit?

Still looks fun. :) I like the glimpses of the past (80s?) TV show version of the character.

Conditioning is huge for fighters! We see it in boxing and MMA too, but with the helmets and the weight of the armor it's always seemed enormously important for ACL/Buhurt. The newbies are quickly out of wind and dying - the killers/veterans keep breathing and fighting.

Pfft. Try to assign the dread Gazebo a gender.

Still sick more than a week later. :( Probably need to focus more on sleeping longer. I messed up my left hip last spring overdoing legs. Spent a few weeks squeezing in extra workouts before my old gym closed at the end of Feb and then maximizing a two week trial at a new gym. Though my pain...
