In D&D 5e games advantage is a killer of horror because it gives confidence and reduces risk. The solution to that is to start with disadvantageous circumstances and make the party work just to get back to normal. Don’t take away their ability to do things, make it so their ability to do things...

There is often a lot of humour in the horror genre. Comedic moments reduce tension, make people feel human and then cause the horrific elements to have more impact. But I have a feeling you’re talking tongue in cheek.

For me it’s not about powerless so much as it is being out of your depth. You still have agency, but you don’t the full picture to make decisions. Or worse you think one thing is going on, act accordingly and then find out something much worse is the case something you’re not equipped to deal...

Ok, that is the most serious expression that I’ve seen you in 25 years @GuyBoy That is not how he looks when he just rolled the second crit of the combat on my poor defenseless rogue!

All those recommendations are great. I also recommend Garblag Games. There is an interesting tension between the wargame and the TTRPG both in terms of high fantasy/low fantasy and the heroic elements vs the grimier elements. It’s something Andy Law tried hard to reconcile in the 4th edition...

This thread is wild. Like meeting your pen pal for the first time. Yes I am 45… hard to believe I know.

So many good points on here. Foundry is a godsend though. It has a pause button where if I tap space bar it stops everyone moving until I tap it again. Great for when someone opens a door or turns a corner. My pet peeve is uncontrolled background noise. Someone doing dishes etc. I’m lucky I’ve...

I think the camera expectation is interesting I wonder if those folks are hoping to one day stream content or hoping the group will get to the point where they can stream. The allure of online influencer status is a big draw for youngsters and that does require cameras. For me I think it’s...

Here is the link for the Discord in case folks want to see how the campaign progresses or get a sense of things first. https://discord.gg/waXd2quTCS

Hey folks, I've spun this off into its own thread from this one. A few things I really like about WFRP Which incidentally is a thread full of reasons why you should give WFRP a go. So I've set up the Ubersreik Adventures Campaign - an episodic serial campaign with a set of adventures from the...

To be honest. That might be a good way of starting things off. The whole idea of running Ubersreik adventures would be that it was serial. Adventures taking 2-3 sessions. It would be difficult to tie it down to a single session but I reckon 2 is definitely possible. Would that work for you? I’ll...

Thanks Guy, kind words. Just so people know I’ve updated the process to $15 as it’s an introduction to WFRP. I should say all the rules will be available through foundry so no need for anyone to buy any books.

This is an old thread but if anyone wants to see an example of why I love WFRP so much check my game out. Particularly if people want me to teach them the game. Title: Ubersreik Days and Nights - Paid Game Who: <@TheSword> How Many: 4-6 players What: Ubersreik is in turmoil, disorder reigns...

I wasn’t going to bring it up, because you said non-human races but no elves or dwarves. Which doesn’t fit Warhammer. Seeing as you did though 🙄 It has probably the best and most detailed setting I’ve ever seen. It is bursting with flavour and leans towards to dark side of fantasy. The...

A crying shame… see my previous post.

I’ve become very fond of things that have a clear beginning, middle and an end. Whether it be TV series, novels or campaigns. Perhaps it’s a pushback against the endless TV series that seem to meander without destination or conclusion. In TTRPG I look at the Paizo Adventure Paths and having ran...

Sure but they were for two classes that we were repeatedly told didn’t have interesting stuff to do? They’re given options for interesting stuff that other classes already have and that breaks 5e, pull the other one, it has bells on it.

Okay, so most classes may have a method by which they can get advantage, but that doesn’t mean every PC uses that method. Having to take the specific subclass or have a specific spell doesn’t make it ubiquitous it makes it a possibility but that comes at an opportunity cost that won’t be...
