Yeah, in 2024, keeping your racial abilities is ambiguous. Not in 2014 though.

Ok, I'll drop you a line if I free up. One seems like it may crash eventually. I'll PM you the invites.

Sooooo tempted but I just joined another OSR campaign so am maxed right now until of one my campaigns ends. Can't do Paranoia too. Great game though. I used to GM it in the 90s (still have the books). BTW, there are two Paranoia discords (that I know of; I'm on both).

We arecJust using it as an engine to run an add-on called skycrawl, which is the sister of downcrawl.

They don't have any restrictions for armor and weapons by class listed unless you're talking about spellcasting. a magic user cannot be more than lightly encumbered to cast spells but you can be unencumbered and still wear leather armor ... Leather armor doesn't even count towards encumbrance...

It's B/X, LotFP. The only house rules we've done are no 6 page first level summoning spell (I think he said he was going to replace it with find familiar which is not in this version of the game but I never rolled it) and instead of one random roll for a levelup spell, I roll five times and...

Yeah, the extra spell slots look good but yeah, I need better access to spells.

Bonus spell slots? That is clerics. I talked him into a bag of holding. Now I just need two fullsize spellbooks. LOL. Spells take 1 page per spell level, so if you had 7 lev 1, 2 and 3 spells, that is already 42 of the 50 that fit in a traveling spellbook.

He allows anyone to be any class. I could have been a dwarf even. And he doesn't do racial level maximums. He is using dmg, PHB, psionics, wizards and other handbooks, etc. The tome of magic too. 80% is good but there are a few spells I would not be happy about not having if I rolled poorly. I...

Exactly. This DM is using the % to know spells. Max spells isn't an issue, Gnome with 19 INT. :)

RPGbot has good guides BTW.

Next time I'm in a 5E 2024 campaign, I'm looking at a Stars druid. I'll need a DM who understands that a stars druid will be very versatile and powerful. Whenever that is. maybe I'll probably run a halfling (I've never run a halfling).

Oh, I know. I'm ok losing 2 schools of magic for invoker. I'm not ok 15% lower chance of knowing spells especially for defensive spells. My PC has a high INT, but still. I'm still building the PC. Elementalist is worse: "-25% Spell Learning Chance when trying to learn spells that do not...

You could switch to a B/X and run Downcrawl or Skycrawl as an add-on. Adds a few mechanics as well as some generators for the DM. They are system agnostic, but we are running a B/X with skycrawl and like it.

I always thought level limits and multiclassing for demi humans were so that some people would play humans.

I will say that really knowing your options helps. I'm in a b/x osr and upon reading the rules for that particular one, I realized I could wear leather armor and carry a short bow. Yeah, I couldn't cast spells while holding the short bow but since I only had one spell at first level, I would use...

I was thinking same. In my OSR, we almost had a TPK at level 1. 3 unconscious and the last one standing had to parlay.

Continued: We kept moving up the shaft system and ran into a new PC. His party had been tricked by the bandits to come down this way (they knew about the boulder creatures) and he was the only survivor, their (skyship) navigator/rogue. We went into the room where his party does and killed the...

The spots were filled.
