I'd be very interested! Also, I would love to hear about your actual play experiences. My group is starting up an OLD game this week that will also act as a playtest for the setting material I'm writing.

Looking forward to that article!

I feel like the change to dice types is overly complicated. Also, having played dozens of systems and read hundreds, I can say that I'm not overly impressed with the common approach to this. Instead of increasing dice pools, damage, defenses (for this way leads to folly!), or the core mechanics...

Awesome stuff!!

He mentioned up thread he was polishing up, looking for art and was going to publish...

OLD dude! Use Resolve and toss in some diseases and horror in the adventure and I feel like WOIN would handle gritty just fine. Actually, sounds like a good issue for Eons...

This obviously took a lot of work! Snazzy and thorough! Well done.

From Page 162: To cast a spell, you must know the secret and the skill associated with the spell, you must have enough Magic Points available to cast it, and your Magic attribute must be at least equal to the MP cost of the spell. A cantrip costs 0MP, however, it will require a Magic attribute...

I'm really digging OLD. There is some savvy ideas in here. It's a less swingy system perched deliciously between 5e and Pathfinder in crunch. This game needs more buzz and more eyeballs, it's seriously under-appreciated right now.

Secrets are the nouns in the Verb + Noun magic system. To target something with a magic skill, you must "know" its secret. So, for the ranger he might have secret of beasts and a magic skill of Abjuration. This ranger, being hired by an expedition, realizes that the Dark Swamp is crawling with...

Let's see... Wizards Apprentice: magic skill a (MSA) (1 rank). Mage: Take Arcane Knowledge Base; MSB (1), MSC (1), MSD (1), MSE (1) - up MSA (2). Mage: MSA (3) Mage: MSA (4) Mage: MSA (5) You can't! :-D I looked through all the exploits and I don't see one that can hook you up with that...

Thanks Morrus, that means a lot to me.

I updated the sheet; added tracking boxes and area for Health, Resolve, Luck Pool and Mana Points. Corrected spelling errors. Added copyright date. Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks! Yeah, I missed that typo (I guess I was going for the more colloquial southern US pronunciation...) and I forgot to include the copyright date in the OGL. I'll fix those up tonight. Was thinking of adding a LUC tracking line there somewhere and perhaps a MP one.

I have just uploaded WOIN Fantasy Character Sheet by TreChriron to the downloads area. This is a character sheet for use with the OLD RPG (Fantasy). It has layers so you can choose what elements are visible for printing. I made most of the entry areas more free-form in alignment with how WOIN...

Reduce Defense and Health! Make them a tad less lethal for a solo adventurer. OR run a couple "townies" as NPC comrades. A couple of the night watchmen would be helpful. :-D I think it's awesome you're running a game for your son. OOC, how old is he? After I recruited some friends into gaming...

Someone over on RPG.net is visiting and asked the same question. I inquired to see if they are interested in a "strangers carpool to game store" quest and pointed them to this thread.

Located at the front of our warehouse at 2242 Kennedy Rd in Janesville, WI ... However Card Kingdom (Seattle) - The Mox Cafe (Seattle, next door) - The Mox Boarding House (Bellevue) are all in the area. Also, super nice stores with a better selection of board, card and miniature games than...

ALRIGHT! First, welcome to Seattle fellow gamer. We are happy to have you. Second, you need to take a trip to Lacey (a suberb of Olympia) and check out Gaby's Olympic Cards & Comics. Not only is this the most awesome incredible selection of new and used RPGs you have EVER laid eyes upon BUT is...

I believe that worrying about what other people think is prone to giving one ulcers. Who cares? Why worry about what people think about your game of choice? Focus on the good stuff. What do you want to talk about? Are you being a good net-citizen? Are you contributing to the conversation? Also...
