A few years ago I looked around my gaming room and it was filled with board games, miniature games and roleplaying books that I had bought but never used or read other than a quick look to check if everything was in good condition. I decided to do a big clean up. Anything that wasn't a...

I'll keep that in mind. But I always make sure I use the new stuff I buy before I buy other new stuff. ;)

If they can sell thousands of copies why not. But I have no use for it, so won't buy it.

I'm a fan of predetermined values for damage. I used them for creatures instead of rolling. Speeds up play too. Dagger = 2 damage, sword = 4, long sword = 6, two-handed = 8. You could add a class bonus based on levels. Fighters +1 per level (+10 damage at level 10), Cleric and thieves +1 at odd...

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but there is a class based variant that I find very interesting. I found this on the Dragonsfoot AD&D forum : Weapon Damage Q: With all weapons doing 1d6, I like it that magic-users can use swords and there generally aren't class weapon restrictions. How can I...

Cunning Folk is a weird name but I guess it fits with the pseudo-historical era. Commoners would be fearful of mages. It has a negative connotation that I like, without outright saying that mage get burned or attacked if discovered, as with dark fantasy RPGs. A fine line not to cross imho...

Just did (I think I read v1.2 last year). RotPL has a lot of similarities with BH. RotPL has a non-D&D and non-LOTR inspired setting. Also magic is cast using spell points, which is a major boon for me. I don't want to emulate the OSR experience. Did that in the 80s. Glad I left it behind. RotPL...

No. But I'm running a solitaire game with four characters soon, to test the system before I show it to the group. https://www.enworld.org/threads/romance-of-the-perilous-land-campaign-the-quest-for-the-lance-of-archangel-michael.672029/

Romance of the Perilous Land by Osprey Games. Streamlined, elegant and simple design for adventures in a mythic England that never was. d20 roll equal or under your Attribute. Characters take 10 minutes to create. I've been looking for a non-OSR and non-LOTR inspired fantasy game with a vibrant...

Fabulous !!!

Classics. Have you read Big Planet? A short read that I really enjoyed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Planet

Indeed. Dropping 1 gold = 1 XP was necessary. In one of my campaigns the PCs (level 5) decided to abuse the system. They figured if they stole all the gems and jewels in a jewelry store I would give them the equivalent XPs and they would gain a level without going down the dungeon. Easily...

D&D 5e (2019-Today) For my current game the PCs started level 3, are sibblings and children of a baron. They already have status and responsibilities towards their familly, serfs and the crown. No need to wait for «name level» if you want to play the domain game. The players agreed to this...

I'm talking about this : quote : «Causes Leveling up in AD&D1 Ironically, the Dungeon Masters Guide (1e) (1979) itself, on page 86, was the main cause of the problem...» It's all very well explained in this article : Monty Haul

I remember. They were called Mounty Haul campaigns. At high levels the Party had one magic item for each «problem».
