How far down the grog rabbit hole do you want to go? DBA is a good miniature ruleset but if you're more of a board wargame guy then personally I quite like GMT games "Men of Iron" series as a fairly good ruleset. Archers are too damn powerful, and cavalry doesn't have the punch that it really...

Replying to myself here but my thoughts went off on a bit of a different track. Say you want to create a system where you have multiple currencies with multiple values. It honestly isn't that hard when you drill right down to it since ultimately the key component of any precious metal based...

I hadn't noticed this thread until I just posted one fairly similar. I've found that it isn't too complex when you continue to operate in fairly straight forward multiples of 5, 10 or 20. Truely exotic coins can be different, but then it just makes more sense to treat them like treasure, gems...

One thing I've always enjoyed doing is mucking about with coins in my campaigns. They are something that every PC uses, but very little thought is given to them other than a number on the character sheet. Coins and money in general mean a lot to a society and it's always felt like something...

Very cool. As a B/X player myself I really like some of the stuff you've done with the classes. I'll be interested in hearing how it turns out.

Yes, the bucket seems to be water tight. It's made of tin, and although the handle is a bit rusty it seems to be in fairly good shape. As you creep further down the corridor it opens into a cavern. Upon entering you are almost immediately met by a hail of arrows from the far western exit...

Yes, as a matter of fact we could use another player. We've had one drop out, and his dwarf (Gargrim) has just kinda faded to the back since but if you want to take him over at least on a temporary basis until we can work a new PC in that would work well. Strictly speaking we've been using...

Midgrim, your axe hammers into the skull of the kobold carrying the pot and he collapses to the ground spilling the contents of the pot all over your feet. You're suspisions weren't too far off. It has a number of gnawed bones that scatter about across the floor. Klyman's sword pierces...

As you wait, you see two Kobolds come down the corridor. One of them is carrying a large metal pail. From the snippets of conversation you overhear it sounds as though they are concerned about the number of dead Kobolds being found. They are arguing whether or not it is a counterattack by the...

Yes, it does sound like the kobolds are approaching

Midgrim recognizes the dwarf's face as having passed through Adamas probably about a year ago to join the custodians. Unfortunately you can't place a name to it, but you're pretty sure he was from the Stonehall clan. Jimi notices among the refuse that there is another split shield baring the...

As you travel down the corridor from the room with the moon pool a powerful stench of decay begins assault your nostrils. Upon entering the room you see that the cavern floor is covered in bones. A lot of them are vermin, but there are various humanoid remains as well. It looks like many of...

Poking through the remainder of the room you find nothing else of interest. You gather up a few more mushrooms that you are pretty sure can be eaten and stuff them in a sack but other than that there is nothing terribly exciting. Yeah, the list on Midgrim's sheet matches up with the hardcopy...

Going through the bodies you find a dozen copper pieces and small tiger eye gemstone worth about 10gp amidst the worthless pieces of junk that they have stuffed into their belt pouches. As you re-enter the fungus covered room the shreiker does indeed start howling again, but this time you are...

The last three Kobolds fall before your assault, their stunned looks bairly having had time to register on their faces. After a moment you catch your breath and prepare to move further into the dungeon. First, sorry for the delay. December is always a busy time of the year at school. Second...

Jimi's roll: To hit: [1d20+1] = 10+1 = 11, damage with flail: [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5 Climant with Dagger: To hit: [1d20] = 12, damage with dagger: [1d4] = 2 Klyman and Midgrim's blows both miss, but Jimi manages to land a solid blow to the back of a Kobold's head with his flail causing it to...

Oh, I'm also very well acquainted with BECMI (or at least B/X which is close enough for horseshoes). The B/X game I've been playing in has been going on for over 6 years now.
