The tank graveyard is right beside the bad healer graveyard.

Labels are useful, but wow, are they ever super important to internets folk for some reason lol

I play a lot of city builder/colony sims. A lot of these games don't really have a definitive end game and the environments are procedurally generated, so role playing as the leader or even making decisions for inhabitants based on their personality is where some of the fun comes from.

Oooh, I like that In It Together. More PC interaction = more better

Might be too fiddly for many, but you could reserve the fear with the player's name on it, if not use it right away against them.

It wouldn't have to be that obvious. It's very easy to see what the current frames are homages to, even without reading the Touchstones.

I must have been avant-garde then, because I gave each player a dieroll mulligan each session in my AD&D games in the 90's lol

Could always just draw the class and then randomly draw from the allowed domain cards. The results would be the same as what is needed.

Niche in a niche in a niche. I'm surprised how much it made.

Yeesh, rough crowd. Do I need to capitalize the LOL? Or is everything here on this site about gaming very very serious?

I certainly regret making the terrible attempt at humor that started this lol

The Eldritch Lorecast talked to the Dungeon Dudes about this

Yep, after the last tpk, I decided I'm going to steal 13th Age's failure with a loss rule for when the party is wiped out as an option for the players if they want to continue the campaign (if the game doesn't have something like this already, like Daggerheart).

If I'm running a game with tactical combat, it's fair to say I have an advantage over the rest of my group (with one exception, possibly). So I run npcs to their typical intelligence. Roll random for mindless up to cheating by having super-intelligent npcs knowing things they normally wouldn't...

It should go without saying that something being better or worse is subjective, but I guess that's something about the internet that doesn't change lol

But it can be claimed, because its an opinion, not a fact.

Excellent. Mike's videos on DH are great, not to mention they wrote the Five Banners Burning frame, which also has five factions...

I have to say, Stonetop and Mountain Home are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Mountain Home looks like a love letter to Dwarf Fortress, which makes me happy. Lots of good recs in this thread, much thanks all!

Fair, but I also disagree. A great deal of the OSR games use what has been learned about RPGs in the years gone by. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any changes because of the perfection they are emulating. I do get there is a general love for the old games, I share it. I didn't play 1e correctly...

Maybe then there are modern systems? The OSR wouldn't exist to the degree it does if the systems from the 70s were of highest quality.
