during beta testing a bunch of us pushed for black jack style but ultimately lost, I still run my home game that way.

roughly the same starting HP as a 4th level B/X character, DB average is 12-13 and 4th level BX PC will average from 10-18 depending on class and luck of the roll (of course it can be as low as 4 and as high as 16 in B/X).Mages spells are close to a 5th level Magic user as well, with a MU having...

A goblin with a crit could kill just about any character in DB. Unlike class and level games (dnd and its myriad clones) DBs BRP heritage means combat is more grounded and all things being equal a highly skilled swords man dies just as fast as a farm when stabbed in the kidney. On the other side...

My approach to using OSR adventures with dragon bane is to assume a beginning DB character is equal to about a level 4 OSR/OSE/BX character thus far it has worked out pretty well.

This fixes most of my major complaints about the 1e version of blades, I especially like the switch to success as a default rather than failure with the threat roll. I think Harper might have read or played some into the odd, maybe we should call this blades in the odd. I still have a horrible...

my kids buy a tavern

Lol at typical ebay prices!

The end of the year is always rough. Three kids want halloween costumes, two birthdays in October, thanksgiving, another birthday in December the xmas. Financially brutal time of year!

way to rich for my blood right now, I am skipping all the big Kickstarters until January when I hope my wallet will recover

I wish I had bought a copy back when it was in print alas 11 yo me lacked the foresight that 50yo me might want to still be playing 39 years later. this will be a cool, event.

thread is pretty much twitter and it has a sizable tarp community but it is having some growing pains due to Meta trying to use AI for moderation which is not going well.

“2024” dnd is really 11th edition. Odnd, 1st ed, starter, BX, BECMI, adnd, adnd 2ed, 3rd, 3.5, 4, 5, and 2024.

Ditching the resistance table is the one thing I wanted from CoC/BRP for decades. So glad they did it.

Honestly, this kind of reflects real life where most people don’t really care about the world except for those parts that they directly interact with or effects them.

Wow. Okay.

We work for horrible people/companies/countries. You don't hire people in my former line of work because you save a kitten from a tree you do so because you got caught throwing it off a cliff into a dumpster fire for laughs. Success and effectiveness is all that matters.

Never had a government job have you.

I ran a crisis comms shop for almost a decade and he could work for me tomorrow. His work at WOTC was very effective, who do you think got them through the repeated self owns and communication crisis. OGL, AI art, Hadozee disaster etc. Greg did all that.

Some Americans don't just enjoy the oppression brought on by the filthy rich they revel in it.

I feel like dagger heart strayed too far from traditional systems incorporating a lot of meta currency and forced narrative mechanics that makes homebrewing and GM improvising a lot more difficult. Cosmere has a lot less meta currency and makes the "narrative" play tools optional in a way I like...
