But they told me Iron Rations never go bad! 1-2 pages per "tool" seems sparse, and I wonder how much, if any examples will be provided. That was one of my big problems with 2014 DMG. Things like optional rest mechanics didn't have an example of what that would look like in play, and it made...

Then why put it in the DMG? Its clearly player facing. And they were very clear - see my quotes from the video above, about the DM not being allowed to touch it, even though they give lip service to "narrative" in the setting. Some of the discussion around danger was using bastions in, say...

Yeah, I don't really get why this is in the DMG. I don't get the feeling, right out of the gate, that the DM is being helped here. Even if they are "optional", they take that part of the DMG out of the DMs hands, and limit them. WOTC clearly is looking to help DMs with this book. (1:04)...

There are quite a few Greek Pizza places here in Philadelphia as well. I've never been a fan. We have way more NY style places though, so finding good pizza isn't tough (though none of it beats NY pizza from NY). I find nothing worse than ordering from a pizza place where the photo looks...

If you want an "out of the box" experience on FG , you're likely working with 2014 or 2024. If you want cross-compatibility, you're likely going to have to program that yourself. I added the Next Playtest for the Fighter to my FG 2014 campaign just fine. The 5e engine on FG was fairly easy to...

3d6 Down the Line Youtube Channel where they have been playing through the Halls of Arden Vul (85 sessions thus far), and had quite a few in Dolmenwood during the Dolmenwood Kickstarter. Lots of OSR discussion, actual gameplay, mapping, and links to house rules used in their campaigns.

Is the 2024 DMG still going to include the Greyhawk map that was talked about before?

Wow, yeah, no way. I would have bought this since Space: 1999 is a big nostalgia hit for me, I even have several Eagle Lander models. Maybe when/if it hits clearance sales.

I think this is heavily dependent on the campaign and expectations. I see a much more careful approach to going through adventures in OSE than 5e. OSE, at least when I run it, is almost always sandboxy, and as a result, characters/parties can encounter creatures that are beyond their ability...

Great to hear about your success and enjoyment of OSE. I'm also running solely OSE Advanced + house rules and Beyond the Wall games, for the reasons you outlined, and also loving it. I find two things end up happening in our campaigns: 1) we tend to not have (either through gameplay, or player...

This is when I glaze over and think back wistfully on my Prius Hybrid. No mental mathematics, great MPG, and I probably could have kept it going another 100k miles. I know that the newness of the EV will eventually feel normal, but all the research I did into all this stuff made (and still...

We bought a Kia EV6 about 4 months ago after our 2010 Prius Hybrid reached its last legs after about 210,000 miles. We’ve been enjoying it a lot more after we had the home charger installed - which should have been the very first thing we did - after that, the normal running around/back and...

Sorry to hear about the disconnect. All the things they listed as things they didn’t like are things I keep looking for in a game. I recently pretty much stopped RPGing with my 40+ year group (again) because our likes in RPGs diverged to the point where I wasn’t having fun running, and they...

An amazingly high Passive Perception, naturally.

Its not official, and may make things too complicated, but 3d6 Down the Line uses Weapon Traits to further differentiate them. Link to their weapon and armor house rule resources: AV OSE Armor and Weapons List Now, in actual gameplay, I've not seen them get used, so I think its probably chrome...

@Mannahnin I know you've mentioned these rules before, but we are really enjoying the Revised Thief rules from Carcass Crawler 1 (all thief skills on a d6). The ability to put the points into what you want be better at really helps the thief, even with the d4 hit die. We also try to follow...

I think because @Mannahnin and I were in the "cost of elephants" thread. :) Now that it got moved, I'll answer here: In OSE, I haven't had any "slogs" per se, where fighting was bogged down for hours. We can play through larger fights without too much trouble. We use weapons Specialization...

I got the same pdf. It was... interesting, but didn't really help me implement any sort of better economics system in my campaigns. Maybe I just didn't get it, missed something, or don't have the imagination. I usually just eyeball the size of the town, village, city, whatever, and then set...

The biggest issue I've encountered with skipping long, sloggy fights (and I did that several times in 5e with a T1-2 party, where I just knew the encounter in the adventure wouldn't do anything), is that you then don't have any resource depletion. How do you handle that? Is it just time wasted...

I ordered 6 direct from Lego. According to the Bricksearch app, when I just checked, I got 3 Strahds and 3 Ladies of Pain (if the app is correct). Anyone have a Tasha’s or Sass Tam they’d like to trade?
