I recorded a video on this subject a bit ago. My takeaway was: the OSR emphasizes procedural mechanics over what I term as interactive mechanics (actions, their interactions, and synergies).

Hey, that’s me! Thanks for the shout out! Bandit’s Keep is also excellent and we’ve actually done a couple of crossover videos on each other’s channels, with more to come!

I think that if I were going to run a mystery type adventure I’d structure it much more like a film noir, Maltese Falcon let’s say, than an Agatha Christie Hercules Poirot type. So much less, if at all, about clues, and much more about navigating a rogues gallery cast of characters who all try...

Cruciger Initiative:[roll0]

Cruciger "Have you had the feeling that you're being watched?" Cruciger says. "I have. Right now. Go with care." For the present, he holds his place in the intersection.

Cruciger Cruciger approaches the intersection and stops. He scans the surrounding slum ruins for signs of any movement or activity. He is keenly aware of the possibility of an ambush. Perception Check: [roll0]

Cruciger Cruciger follows the others. He winces at the great clanging of the gates banging shut behind them.

Nice work! I'll have to give those random generators a try!

I'm going on vacation for a week starting Friday. I'm pretty sure I'll have internet access and the pace of this game is slow enough at the moment that no one will probably notice even if I didn't but I figured I'd mention it anyway. ;)

Cruciger "Well friends," Cruciger says, "shall we be off?" He walks down towards the gate.

Cruciger "I am called Cruciger," says Cruciger, "and I am as ready as I will ever be to go forth."

Cruciger Cruciger shakes his head. "I am afraid not. Perhaps one of these other good folk has experience with such things. Or else we must rely on caution, observation, and good sense to see us through."

Cruciger Cruciger nods. "Vermin indeed. It appears my calendar is currently empty of appointments. If all are ready, shall we not depart at present and survey these slums?"

I think things like favored enemy and the concept of favored terrain aren't universal enough-- I think a ranger should be all about adaptability. Let favored enemy kick in any time a ranger is fighting a foe for the second time. Let favored terrain be anywhere the ranger has spent a day moving...

Curciger Responds Cruciger asks, "By vermin, you are referring to what, exactly? What sort of creatures have taken residence in these slums?"

Which makes lances very handy as they would give you reach on that attack and maybe put you outside the range of an opportunity attack.

Cruciger Responds Cruciger nods. "It seems we have at least some accord amongst us. Which of these tasks appeals to your proclivities? It seems prudent that we should tackle the hazards that hem us about presently before venturing out to explore the ruined keep. That said, prudence has never...

Just found this thread. Nice stuff. I wonder if it would be interesting to have two different mounted paths-- one for the knight type and one for the mount archer type.

Cruciger Cruciger looks the list over twice. "These tasks are more than any one of us can handle. What say you good folk to tackling each en masse? Surely, such errands as these offer more than enough rewards to share between us?"

Ha, yeah, I should have said East Coast, USA. Trying to get a sense of what the posting pattern for everybody will be like.
