Thanks for sharing!

Any game that has a thick, heavy lore to it usually overwhelms me. So Glorantha or Harn (for example). Forgotten Realms. Golarion. Etc. Etc. It's just too much for me to process and keep ready in my mind.

I saw that in one of Owen KC Stephens's videos. Looks interesting. When that comes about, I might drop the Escalation die. Really, I have it so that players will have the SP to declare cool stuff before they roll. Makes my game flow smoother for us. However, the Stunt Attack (?) that generates...

I enjoy the occasional game from the AGE system family of games. But, as with all RPGs, it ain't perfect. So I thought we could share our house rules for the games and why we made them. Maybe spark others with ideas of their own. House rule: I use the Escalation die inspired by 13th Age. But...

A learning experience with friends. (Taught some old D&D buddies Savage Worlds)

Savage Worlds uses Power Points (aka Magic Points).

My first D&D Character was a Moldvay Basic D&D Human Fighter. Stats 3d6 rolled in order. My charisma was the lowest score, like an 8 or something, but his strength was a 17? Whatever score it was that gave you a 10% boost to Experience. I named him Darkon after my favorite Super Joe Action...

Thanks, @Burnside , I didn't know that thread existed. I'll check it out.

I have two particular character concepts that I really enjoy playing and I tend to have only slight variations that I carry into other campaigns. 1) The Cleric who was once an arrogant jerk who is exiled/castout into the wild to administer to the less fortunate until he learns humility. 2) The...

I've been eyeballing Dungeon in a Box and was wonder how people who have taken the plunge feel about them.

Whoof. It's getting hot in here! @RickTheFox , here's my neutral, third-party, non-judgmental advice. The Rogue may be being a jerk. But, in my ungodly long 40 years of gaming, PC-vs-PC conflict which includes murder almost always destroys the group unless it was something decided on in a...

D&D player here. Since '81. And as I stated earlier, not so much. I find death to be the most boring of consequences of combat. I accept that death is on the table. But want is too strong a word for my desires. I absolutely, positively and emphatically state, though, that that is a personal...

Since, Old School Essentials is off the table, I'd pick 5e. I like how both of them really cleaned up the game. OSE for B/X (I'm not fond of what the RC did to the Thief) and 5e for the rest of D&D.

I'm a D&D Veteran having played since 1981 or so. As I can only speak for myself: not so much, no. I much, much, MUCH prefer other forms of failure: captured, loss of treasure, loss of loved one, loss of reputation, to death. When/if my character dies, I just generate another one and the game...

While I'll play either way. I tend to run games without Multiclassing. Don't know why.

My above post reads more negative than it is. Mostly, I was just trying to point out that it can be difficult to switch to Foundry because of the lack of tutorials for some of the game systems for it. Overall, I think Foundry will be worth the effort. Much like when I learned Traveller or...

The difficulty I'm having with moving from FG to Foundry for a possible Savage Worlds game is many fold but basically boils down to: You must UNLEARN what you have LEARNED. ;) When I went to the Reddit r/foundryvtt page (which the FoundryVTT homepage points you to, incase someone is wondering...

The three Defenses (Saving Throws): Fortitude, Reflex, Will.

The only house rules I've been using lately are: Characters gain 1/2 proficiency bonus on Non-proficient Saving Throws. I like for character to grow across the board and having certain saving throws stagnant bothered me. I use what I call The Heroic Array (16, 15, 13, 12, 11, 10). Basically...

5e Star Frontiers Box Set that includes Alpha Dawn and Knight Hawks (no Zebulon Guide please)... Oh, how I crave thee.
