But instead of cards, I use 1cmx1cm card chits with numbers printed on them. It's easier for me to place the chits on the battle board, next to each miniatures

I've adopted the Dragonbane 10-card initiative mechanic for all my solo RPG sessions. It's fun and suspenseful not knowing, in advance, in which order the round will unfold.

Morrus and Umbran are monitoring him. They have replied several times. Seems like I've found a candidate for the 'ignore' button, with a life sentence.

No. It's about your complete failure at being forthright. Saying we want things for free, as if we are grifters, is not the right approach. This community is very generous in helping out indie publishers. [FREE Advice] RPG publishers these days create a QuickStart PDF that contains the basics...

And we are checking if you are a good fit for us. In 45 years of playing RPGs, and as someone who worked in marketing all his life, I've never seen such bizarre, secretive and inept attempt at launching an RPG.

Never challenge members of EnWorld, it will never go in the direction you wanted.

I'm well aware it's not new, I happily bought the FFG Warhammer Fantasy RPG 3e box and the players hated it! :cry: All the experienced players I tried to enlists to play had no use for it.

Thanks for the write-up. We are not the target audience. It's for boardgames players who want to try D&D. This box is much better than Wrath of Asharladon, Legend of Drizzt and Curse of Stradh boardgames. The ramp-up to the actual RPG and the three core books is better laid out. WoTC wants...

I was naive. I didn't expect D&D 6e thread so soon. Now we have two.

We had a Paladin death after he survived a Red dragon breath attack but was killed by the explosion of a Potion of fire breath in his backpack! :ROFLMAO:

It's memorable because it was the first one and at the time WoTC did not share the PDFs like they do today. For those who no longer had there box sets, it was fun to have access to the rules again without having to pay eBay prices. It respects the original rules. It's was not about being...

Never heard of these two retro-clones before today. BlueHolmes Journeymanne rules (2017) are my go to Holmes retro-clone. Goes up to level 20. Very well made and respectful of the original.

Seems like the Holmes 77 retro-clone (2011) by RC Pinnel was forgotten by the OSR community. Labyrinths & Perils claims to be the first Holmes retro-clone, but that is false according to Tenkar.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, when I play solo, every encounter is random and I have to retcon the meaning and the reason using solo tools like word association, event lists and tarot cards.

Exactly, also with porto wine and expensive cigars. 😏
