Ok, played the OSR with skycrawl again. Trying to get out of a huge building in a dead city to get out i said dead city before we dehydrate and die. then we'll have to fight pats bandits to get back to the top of the planet (we are inside). and we are injured and with dwindling water supplies (a...

LotFP allows you to use whatever weapon you want, but a cleric needs one hand free for his holy symbol to cast spells, a MU can't cast spells while holding a weapon other than a staff or wand, and an elf (which we don't use) I believe just needs one hand free to cast spells. Also, MU can cast...

Yeah, magic users are very restricted in the B/X we are playing but I've been making it work with my +2 INT modifier and +1 CON modifier, staying back of party. Clerics are actually beefed up a bit in this version though. We keep hiring mercs, but they keep rolling 1 on a d6 (level 0) for HP...

Yeah, back then I wound up just using a short bow after I had cast my one spell (In the B/X we are playing, you cannot cast spells holding a weapon except a wand or staff), and if something rushed me, a staff. We are level 4 now, so I have magic missile and web now. As far as hirelings (the...

No, the max is -3 and you have to roll a 3. Nobody rolled above 16 (I had the only one) or below 5 (he had two). Looks pretty normal until you realize he rolled stats 4 times below zero modifiers, and one at zero...so most of the negative rolls were one person of the 4.

He rolled two 5s, an 8, and everything else was a zero mod, 9-12. He rolled several more times and still couldn't get to zero or above. I changed his dice, and finally, he hit zero but the rest of us were at +2, so the DM let him try again and he got +1, which is all zeros and a 1.

Eh...I would have missed a couple of magic saves without my +2 bonus from INT and the INT bonus subtracts 2 days from researching and scribing scrolls. It makes a difference for my magic user. The rogue's bonus with a bow has also been a close call a few times. If the DM had said, no rerolling...

One of the nice things about LotFP (B/X), which we run, is if your modifiers total under zero, you reroll, but I can see someone rolling a 16, for stats 9-12, and a 4, and that is 0. We had a guy who rolled under zero four times till he finally got +1 total.

Yes (that is how the group originally met) and I also posted on the DC Gaming discord. A lot of people are 5E focused.

Monday evenings. Beginners and experienced players welcome. Currently, we are level 4. Heavy exploration game (various diverse worlds) with some combat as well. Random encounters traveling between worlds as well (including environmental, other ships, flying beast, etc.). There is even an...

RPGbot has good guides for class, subclass, class spells, class races, etc.

Oh, it will be fine. We have 2 players that shows regularly and one that can't always show but let's us run his character. we can keep playing as is if we have to. There is a local D&D LFG happy hour coming up and we can talk to people there. Yeah, Skycrawl is fun.

He just came out with downcrawl 2E. I haven't played it, but Skycrawl is good. :)

Skycrawl is great, BTW. Having a lot of fun with it. :)

I would have been down for that, although I will say he is responsive to emails.

We have 1-2 spots available in an ongoing Skycrawl campaign (skyships) run on a B/X OSR Monday evenings in Washington, DC. Currently we are level 4. PM me for info.

Yes, we are playing a B/X OSR as an engine for Aaron Reed's Skycrawl (sky ship addon). I will say it's difficult to find players for OSRs in person in Washington, DC. We had a player move and are looking to fill 1-2 spots. 5E is really big here.

Oh, yeah, our DM had us a find a notebook (with loot) with some already filled in to update ours. later on, we bought a couple of answers form an orcery shop, and later yet, traded some with an orcerer that approached our ship on a barge. Oh, and we randomly tried Lazul Lode on our own (because...

I've been having a lot of fun playing Skycrawl (as a player) as an add on to an OSR, and it has been a lot of fun. You explore different floating islands in your skyship and combine different "heavy elements" for magical effects. Right now our party is wizard, rogue, cleric, and fighter and the...
