No, you're not overthinking things. This aspect has been an issue for me as well. I do want there to be a chance that the victim will die, so that when Paddy disgorges, she might throw a fit of rage or sorrow. I think the solution might be to have the victim make a DC 10 Con save or take a point...

Okay, I've made several changes based on the excellent suggestions in this thread: - The summoning of swamp creatures references the Monster Manual without giving full stat blocks. The type of creatures she summons are rolled on a table. She can summon the creatures once per day whenever she...

Sure, if she was hungry.

Both of your posts bring up some very good issues. I've already made some changes based on them. Thank you!

...and the girl lived? Here is a creature I've designed for a campaign based around a crazed mage/scientist dedicating his life to creating bizarre, unnatural creatures. Do you like it? Do the numbers work?

Earthsea. Gods, what an evocative and interesting game that could be.

Very excited about this, especially the mention of the Old World (as opposed to the Age of Sigmar). I hope they go with the fluff of 1e; it was less focused on the chaos invasion and was even grittier than 2e. One request: I hope they address the infamous "whiff factor" of skills and combat...

I would imagine it would be okay. I'll ask the admin.

It's a good game. At this point, I'm not sure that OSR games need things like GM advice or adventure creation guidelines. They're targeted at people who have been playing a while. IMHO, of course.

I like the way Frank Mentzer and Skip Williams handle combat attacks in pre-3e D&D. In their games, you roll a d20 and subtract it from your THAC0, giving you the AC hit hit. For example, if you THAC0 is 15 and you roll a 19, you have hit AC-4. What if everything was expressed that way? In...

I'm not sure who is saying that. The term THAC0 is just more associated with 2e, but I don't think anyone is saying 2e invented the concept.

To make an attack in 2e AD&D, you subtract the enemy's AC from your THAC0 score before rolling. So if your THAC0 is 15 and the enemy's AC is -1, you subtract -1 from 15, meaning you need a 16+ to hit. While it works fine, many people find the system unintuitive since you are really adding the...

How long has the next edition of RM been in in the works? Seems like ages.

I love playing around with house rules, and I came up with the following to address some of my hangups with the SIEGE engine. My basic issues are thus: 1) The 12/18 challenge base for primes vs non-primes is too great 2) Classes without a prime attribute in one or more of their abilities...
