    School is over, and I presented my senior thesis on Monday. I've updated the web app, it now has all the different locations in Karameikos. I uploaded the paper to my blog and also a poster map, which you can access through the blog. I also detailed which locations were not placed in the web app...

    Web map of Mystara

    Finally finished the DEM. From it I was able to generate a Hillshade and then I layered the DEM over that with a 35% transparancy and equal interval color classification. I go into the process in more detail on my blog, and updated the webmap there. Now I'm working on creating symbols to...

    Web map of Mystara

    I've updated the map. There are markers with popups for a few locations now. please check it out and let me know what you think. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress, I could still use input on how best to display the data in addition to what data is actually necessary.

    How much damage should OSR monsters do?

    The damage is different because the weapon is different. The giants are using weapons both sized and designed for them. Damage of human weapons shows the same phenomenon. A two handed sword may look very similar to a one handed sword, but do different damage because it is a different weapon...

    How much damage should OSR monsters do?

    Damage isn't necessarily assigned by HD or even Dungeon lvl, but by common sense or practicality. Damage is assign by attack/weapon type. This is most apparent among the low levels humanoids. The concept of damage by weapon doesn't change among the higher lvl monsters, the weapons simply change...

    Rolling Dice

    I was rereading moldvay basic and came across an interesting line on page B4 under How to Use the Dice, "the best way to 'throw' or roll a 4-sided die is to spin it and toss it straight up." I have never done this, I just roll a d4 like any other die. Does anyone here roll d4s in this manner...

    TSR [Let's Read] Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rules, by Tom Moldvay

    You're right, there isn't a big contrast between the two methods. The contrast is in the mindset. When I have no explicit abilities on my character sheet that will benefit in a situation, I think less of "what can my character do?" And more of "what are some possible solutions?" I think of "how...

    TSR [Let's Read] Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rules, by Tom Moldvay

    That is exactly what I meant. They have to pursue options in the fiction/gameworld that will solve their problem; not resorting to an out of character "what are my skills? Or what is the best way to solve this mechanically/through the game rules?" What I mean is, given the above example, a...

    TSR [Let's Read] Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rules, by Tom Moldvay

    That's not how it works. The things they do to gain bonuses are, as already stated, things that make sense "in the fiction." A player may try to convince an NPC to buy a pie, but if the NPC doesn't like pies, then no matter how good of a salesperson the player is, the DM may never give a bonus...
