From my memories of the 1981-1984 period the meaning of the word role-playing as not changed. After several games of Basic D&D (Moldvay) we had a big debate about 'roll playing', 'role playing' and 'playing a class as a role'. Our group split in two over this. The other half decide to play Call...

I played Cortex Classic in 2004. I later became aware of Cortex Plus but never played.

Yes. If you want to see how solo playing is done you should watch Me, Myself and Die! Great entertainment value!

Purchased a copy if this game last week. I played the original Cortex 1st edition when it came out. Has anyone played this system in the last year? How was it?

[Day 6, Encounter 1 continued] The tracking of the hobgoblins footsteps goes well. Gervish and Morrand often sprint ahead to see if they are catching up with their quarry. At the end of the afternoon the rogue and the ranger spot two hobgoblins carrying a chest, two goblin archers and a larger...

[Day 6, Encounter 1] The night is uneventful. The next morning the heroes return to the cave. It is empty. No one is waiting for them. The group begins the exploration of the other passages. The East passage is a dead end. Three tunnels were started but they were never expanded. Gervish doesn't...

[Day 5, Encounter 3] The heroes decide to enter the cave. The two guards stay outside with the mule to prevent an attack from the rear. A rock staircase leads to a narrow corridor. Toraden places the spell Light on a copper coin and puts it in a pocket of his robe. The corridor widens into a...

[Day 5, Encounter 2] The heroes decide to move away from the trail they were following. They go deeper into the woods for about 10 minutes. They set up camp in a favorable position. Morrand can rest for one hour (short rest HD). Morrand (ranger) and Gervish (rogue) decide to scout ahead to see...

[Day 5, Encounter 1] 'Turn back, this is the land of Lord Grumarr! No humans allowed!' Three hobgoblins shoot their arrows at Morrand (ranger). The two arrows inflict 7 damage. Before the group can react the hobgoblins retreat 30' deeper into the woods. Morrand shoots an arrow and hits...

[Day 3] The next morning the party decide to march towards the nearest settlement before going to Dagenhold. The small village of Obandek is located six miles South of the border of the forest. The day is uneventful. After they arrive in Obandek the adventurers rent a room at Mira's Brew, the...

Night 2 Encounter: The group find the ruins of a small house. They decide it is a good location to spend the night. Later that night Corden is standing near the entrance while the others are asleep. He hears footsteps coming from the West side of forest. A band of six skeletons enters the small...

Day 2 - Encounter 2: The adventurers realize the ranger has lost his way when they reach a marsh with a bubbling pool of green-brown water. The odour of the fumes coming out of the pool is putrid. They have lost half a day. Suddenly a rotting heap of animated vegetation bursts from the pool and...

This campaign is a hex crawl created from scratch as I go along. I'm using the excellent 5e Solo Adventurers Toolbox and a few personal solo ideas I developed over the years. The battle mat is from Loke Battle Mats. _______________________ The adventurers are Gervish a level 2 rogue, Corden a...

That and The Barbarian Prince hex crawl game were fun to play when I couldn't get our 80s D&D group together.

Reading further about the system and I really don't think this is a test for a 6th edition of D&D. Too much of a departure. Having said that I want to give it a try. Quote: "First off, as you may suspect from the name, Essence20 is a d20 based system. The core mechanic for resolving a roll is...

We very recently had this discussion on EnWorld: https://www.enworld.org/threads/how-do-you-store-and-carry-your-dice.681734/

Osprey has had a very good selection in the past 5 years. I've bought several of their games. Frostgrave, Broken Legions, Gaslands, Romance of the Perilous Lands and Reality's Edge.

Never liked the grim dark setting of WHFB. Never played the rpg. I'm currently reading the Soulbound AOS rpg starter set. The play style is between D&D and Exalted. The system uses d6 pools which is the same as the wargame.

Sigil and Shadow. I own BareBones Fantasy. d00Lite is a 'profession as skill system'. Very simple and effective. It's derived from the old Star Frontiers skill system.

It does but this time I managed to organize a board game night with the 2 players who are available. Not a total loss of gaming time. (1,000th message, not sure if it's good or bad!)
